NEW YORK. Oct. 7.-R. q. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade. issued to-
day. says:
Ii is dificult TO detect any signs OF improve
ment While there has been some addition TO
the number OF manufacturing establishments
and the number Of hands at work during the
past week. IL Is becoming painfully clear that
the orders obtained DO not suffice to keep en-
ployed Mt full time even the limited force at
present engaged. The business transacted is
still far below that Of last year In volume. In
railroad earnings the decrease being 1916 per
cent. in spite ~ large Worlds fair business.
and in payment through the principal clear
inghouses outside OF New York the decrease Is
90 per cent. There is on the whole less ac-
tiyity and less confidence regarding the fu-
ture than there was u week ago. and
this in many cases is attributed TO the I'M
certainty regarding the monetary future
which delay in the senate causes. While tn"
volume OF all kinds OF money in circulation has
increased az. 31. 27 during the month OF sop
tembcr, and is now greater by AZ least slO.ooo.-
go than II was last year. the embarrassment
is now, as all the time. due to a lack q conf

bank notes In the treasury has increased es.07-

out additional circulation. have retired II and
sold the bonds deposited. The stock OF mdley
