NEW YoRK. Nov. 6-R. G. Dun &
Co. S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Even in the last week before presidential
election business has continued active: indeed
the volume Is far beyond any precedent for
similar period. The coming election has plain
~ diminished business in two ways; multi
tudes have been diverted from trade 20 politi-
cal activity, and many more have chosen 70
postpone transactions until the political uncer-
tainty has been removed
The fact that even under such circumstances
trade has been OF enormous volume shows how
powerful is the impetus toward activity and ex-
pansion. The people are clearly buying more
goods than ever before, and in some branches
manufacturers are realizing slight advance in
prices. Money IS closer at some western points,
but nowhere is stringency seen, and there is no
apprehension aS to the immediate future.
Wheat has touched the lowest point ever
known in this New York; market. 7Sm cents
receipts at western points being still enormous,
though this week averaging little less than
100000 bushels daily Exports have much In
creased and a recovery in price TO 74k cents
has resulted but the decline for the week is
still IL cents. Corn has fallen q cent with
moderate movement but oats are cent higher.
"At Cincinnati business somewhat exceeds
last year's-in groceries 20 10 80 per cent At
Cleveland business is good. exceeding last
years, especially in rolled iron. AT Detroit
trade is larger than a year ago, and manufac-
lures active. AT indianapolis business is
active, especially in foundries. machinery and
saw manufacture. Trade at Chicago has been
satisfactory, with especial increase in real
estate transactions. Receipts OF corn have
been double last years, wheat and hides show
a gain of 20 per cent for the week butter 80
barley 40 and dressed beef Is per cent, while
in rye, oats sheep and hogs a decrease OF
third appears, in lard 30 per cent and in wool
70 per cent. Two clothing failures are due 10
overtrading, and money is in strong demand
at . per cent. little returning from
west centers. At Milwaukee many OF
the largest houses were burned out,
but none appear to be crippled so far, and col
lections are sdll fair. At ST Paul business is
active, though collections are retarded by good
weather for blowing, and at Minneapolis lum-
Der is strong and wheat moving more freely.
At Omaha and Denver trade is good. At
Kansas City business is large in volume
with liberal receipts of live stock and
better prices. At St Louis, though the
weather checks trade, woolens and clothing
groceries, boots and shoes and dry goods gem
orally are strong and grain receipts heavy.
At Louisville business is a fun average and at
Mempl, =, slightly improved, though below the
normal Volume. AT New Orleans labor troubles
retard trade. but cotton is higher and active
and receipts OF sugar liberal with good demand
I'm general nothing seems to foreshadow
monetary difficulty, and with colder weather
and political uncertainty removed a great bust
ness is anticipated
