DUN'S REVIEW.
The Commercial Sky Is without
u ClOlafH.

NEW YORK. Sept. 3G.-R. G.. Dun & Co. say
in their weekly review of trade:
Business continues larger than ever ut this
time of the wear. and the commercial sky is
without cloud. Money is everywhere in
ample supply, and collections have very
rarely been more generally satisfactory. The
outgo OF money from Western cepters for pur-
chases in the country is larger than usual,
and yet there is no embarrassment Crop re-
ports are uniformly favorable and the prom
Use is distinctly better than it was a few weeks
ago. III general, business is not only large
and healthy, but the outlook for the coming
month is everywhere regarded with the ut
most confidence.
At Boston dry goods are active and the
mills very busy, with the demand such in
some lines that they cannot produce goods
last enough. The boot and shoe trade is
very satisfactory. groceries and furniture are
active and sales OF wool much larger than
last year. At Philadelphia iron improves
with large sales. Trade in glassware is very
busy. Iron is III better demand ut Pittsbur".
and the glass business good. At Cleveland
trade is improving and larger than last year.
and at Ciucinnatithe clothing trade is better
than in previous years, though slight de-
cline IS seen at the South. for the Western
trade largely exceeds previous records. 1T
Indianapolis general trade Is fair st De-
trolt trade Increases over last year i'll some
lines. Business is satisfactory at Milwaukee,
and crops secured in good shape.
Chicago reports merchandise sales greater
than last year, and all conditions good. Re
celpts OF products show increase in every
thing except rye. At st. Louis trade is dis
tinctly better, and collections prompt. At
st. Paul business is larger than a year ago; at
Omaha very active; at Kansas City good,
with heavy receipts of cattle and grain, ana
elevators about full.
Speculation i'll breadstufs is lower, with
small transactions. Wheat and oats are
nearly 1c, and corn 1880 lower, end receipts
OF wheat at " estern points have been 6,363.-
695 bushels in four days against exports
of only 65D.ll6 Blu. Hog products are higher;
pork, 73c; lard. 55c. and ribs 2ic per 100 lbs.
Coffee is an eighth stronger, but oil is about
&c lower. Western receipts of cattle are
10000 head against $4,000 the same week
last year.
The Hebrew holidays caused the usual de-
crease lin the sales OF textile goods: the
cholera scare has diverted many buyers from
New York and it is between seasons for
woolens. but dealings are still large. The
outlook in woolens is excellent, and sales of
wool improve here and at Philadelphia,
where the CONSUMPTION is greater than l.:
any other year, though some concessions
on territories and Ohio delaine are seen
Boston. At the three markets 233, 001.000 lbs.
have been sold this year, against 1890 600
lbs. last year to date. Trade in knit goods is
hesitating. Boot and shoe works a re pressed
to meet their orders. Foreign exchange has
risen slightly and money has advanced te5

demand for money at the West and South
continues smaller than usual.
