NEW York, Sept 3.--R @. Dun q
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
While industry and business were i'm
proving daily and prospects were
brighter than ever, the sudden alarm
about cholera came to cause some hesi-
tation. IL is even said that buyers
from the south who had departed for
this city turned back because they were
afraid of detention by quarantine
here. There is reason for the utmost
precaution against Importation of the
disease, which city and national
authorities are taking with creditable
energy. But there is yet no ground for
supposing that the pestilencc will gain
a foothold here this season. In all
other respects businesses prospects are
clearly better than a year ago and
nearly all accounts show actual increase
in business. Crop prospects are better
and money is in greater demand but
ample supply everywhere and industries
are producing more than ever before.
Fear that exports may be curtailcd
by pestilence in Europe with causes
previously strong has depressed the
markets. Wheat has dropped 70 9S1sc,
the lowest point since 1883, and recov
cred only to fall off 2 cents for the
week. Corn has dropped 66 cents for
the week with better western reports.
Cotton rose a shade, but has fallen to
M cents again, with sales of 666, 900
bales. Oats have declined ~ cents,
pork so cents a barrel, lard 81 cents and
hogs so per 100 pounds and oil % cent
lower. The greater part of these
changes came from the unnatural on
dition Of markets for some time held up
in spite of extraordinary stocks in
sight.
Wheat receipts in four days were
ASA, 29O bushels, but exports only $685.
AIS. Stocks of common on hand in this
| country are equal to two months con
sumption and in Europe about three
months consumption. American wheat
current estimates of the coming crop
are constantly rising. 1t has been evil
dent that Europe will take less of our
products this year than last, but pesti'
lence there will not greatly diminish
the need for food or clothing.
Manufacturers in this country have
never been in better condition on tho
whole than that which reports now in
dictate. All textile manufacture are
producing more and consuming more
material than ever, and the demand has
rarely pressed so closely on the supply

and steel industry rapidly csuncs full
production, though some mills are ye'

1t is enough to say of the wooden man
ufacturc that sales Mt the three chic
markets since the middle of May have
been 10i, a5S, 600 pounds against $1,000,

and receipts at the western market
show an increase of - per cent. for til
week and Is per cent. for the year thi

At Pittsburgh the demand for finishe'
iron is better and prices somewha
stronger. At Cleveland trade is goo
in rolled products, dry goods. hardwar
and groceries, and at Cincinnati ms
chine shops und foundries are pushe
to their full capacity, exceeding las
