NEW YORK. Nov. ls.-R. C. DUN q
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says: No
important trading appears in the condi-
ton of business. The distribution q
products continues enormous. The pro-
duction by manufacturers 10 greater on
the whole than in any previous year. and
while some hesitation is seen about enter
ing into new accounts. the general tone OF
business and industries 10 remarkably
healthy. Trading In cotton has been
much tho largest ever known In any week,
but stock dealings have been but mod
crate. AT Boston business continues
large, collections good, money easy. In
general the situation 10 unchanged ex-
cepting that wool is more quiet. Tho
shoe trade is In good shape and lumber
active.
At Philadelphia open weather affects
trade in heavy dry goods. Wool 10 very
quiet, she . steady, iron good demand.
Money little tighter; much to be placed at
9 per cent. A natural change 10 seen at
Baltimore. At Pittsburg the demand for
pig iron is good and finished products
moving freely. Plate glass II very dull.
but other glass trade 10 unchanged.
A strike in the harness manufactoFy at
Cincinnati during the busy season dis.
Cleveland IL good. Some large orders tor
pig iron have been countermanded. There
is strong demand for money. Manu-
facturers continue busy at Indianapolis
and the jobbing trade 10 good. Business
Is prosperous In all lines at Detroit. Chr
cago reports good Wholesale trade and
collections. Receipts Of corn, wheat and
butter show . large increase, but . de-
crease 10 seen In oats and wool, dressed
beef, hides, -four and rye. Money 10 in
strong demand mt Q per cent. Trade con.
tinucs strong at st. LOUIS, with collections
prompt. Milwaukee reports . larger
trade, with q good demand for money.
Jebbers ut st. Paul report backward coli
lections. Al Kansas City cattle receipts
are large, but grain receipts light. Money
is in better demand and business fairly
active. Denver reports very satisfactory
trade. At Louisville trade 10 about the
average. but dull In Little Rock, with q
small cotton movement.
Al Nashville business is improving;
sales of cotton amounted TO .. 80 100 bales,
with an advance Of u Of cent. In wheat
aud corn advances Of e Of cent were
made, but oats 10 Y Of . cent lower. A
rise Of nearly I cent occurred In coffee.
Except for cotton the speculative market
has been comparatively dull. In the great
industries little change is seen. Ship
ments Of boots and shoes from the east
continues to largely exceed those Of last
year. Cattle receipts from Chicago are
falling behind. Collicries are now only
working half timc. In pig iron some hesi-
tation of buyers is seen with the cancella-
tion or postponement Of orders. but the
situation 10 considered very healthy. Tho
bar mills are said to be near the end of
their orders. A sale of steel rails ut q
fixed price Is reported.
October exports Of principal products
were Sl5.O95, ,45o, smaller than last year
and in two weeks Of November the de-
crease has been $2.00O!O00. This fact with
n large increase In export has caused an
advance in foreign exchange to A.s7t:
and with money dearer at London and
cheaper hero, there 10 some prospect OF
gold exports.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the past seven days
number 2a0 compared with . total Of 210
last week. For the corresponding week
last year, the figures were DIS.
