Semi-Panic.
R. C. Dun & CO.'S WEEKLY REVIEW.


NEW YoRK, Sept 1o-R. @. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says: Last
weeks semi-panic In stocks and grain
has been followed by a more confident
feeling about cholera, as 1t is seen that
pestilence is thus far confined to incom-
ing ships by national regulations which
all officials are now respecting. Stocks
have advanced about 20 cents per share
on the whole though in other markets
the alarm of last week still continues.
The general condition of industries and
trade throughout the country is not
only remarkably good, but improving
perceptibly from week to week, al
though the exports Of merchandise are
not yet large enough to prevent some
shipments of gold
Decided improvement is seen in the
line Of the iron trade Mt Pittsburgh.
Glass works are resuming and the hard
ware trade Is good. Prospects are ex-
cellent at Cincinnati, commission mer-
chants unusually prosperous and trade
in the tobacco leaf strong. business at
Cleveland has improved and is excellent
with larger demand for money At De-
troit business in some lines Is 10 to 20
per cent greater than last year, and
prospects are favorable. General trade
at Chicago is larger than year ago
with favorable crop prospects. Re-
ccipts OF lard, butter and cheese show
some increase over last year; of wheat
a sixth, of wool a third and of hides
and flour one-half, while In corn de-
crease Of third appears and large
decrease in rye and barley with small
decrease in other articles. Milwaukee
trade is fairly good, tobacco having
! been but little damaged by frosts, while
corn is kept back by cool rains.
At Minneapolis crop prospects are
fair, lumber is active and strong and
general trade good At St. Paul trade
| improves with brighter prospects, and
while average crops are expected high
err prices are also Judged probable. At
Omaha trade Is active in groceries and
dry goods and fair in other branches,
st Louis reports strong trade and rail-
roads taxed to carry grain.
At Kansas City trade is improving,
receipts of cattle and grain being heavy,
and ut Denver business Is good. At
Little Rock busin, IS is satisfactory
though merchants buy conservatively,
At Louisville trade improves and at
Nashville, as well, crop prospects being
better. At New Orleans business has
somewhat improved but Is not up to ex-
pectation Sugar is very strong; rico
unsteady and money stiff, though in
ample supply.
Wheat has sold at M cents and ex-
ceptng in two days in 1884 no lower
price has been recorded here. Western
receipts have been 3, IOO, 900 bushels in
four days against 100, 600 Atlantic ex-
ports Oats are half a cent higher, but
corn is much lower, with Frightening
crop prospects Mt the west, and coffee Is
AN eighth lower, Cotton hal advanced u
sixteenth during the week, all
though the Financial Chronicle
makes the last crop 9,O3s, 900
bales and the decrease In acreage
this year only IL pr cent With re-
strictcd exports OF products ut pres mt
foreign exchange Is already strong, but
the treasury has put out of new notes
goo, 900 more than it has added to its
stocks OF gold and silver, and the money
markets throughout the country are
fairly supplied, while collections in all
quarters are very fair for the season.
