NO GREAT ACTIVITY
But BUSINESS SHOWS GAINS
OVER LAST YEAR
The Increase In Trade ain More
A Matter of Prophecy Than OF
RealizatiOn-Hea Entries OF
Foreign Goods.

New YORK, Sept. 1.--R. G. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The activity which came with OK
hausted stocks, and was increased
by the removal Of uncertainty about the
tariff, has continued with the
heavy entries OF foreign goods
since the bill became law. But the
people who know best are saying lin.
provement will come" rather than
Improvement has come" The gain is
not vet what has been expected, and
business, If good in comparison with
last year, is still poor in comparison
with years preceding.
Presumably there has not yet been
time to feel the effects of the change, and
gradual gain will be more healthy
and encouraging than a spasmodit
rise. but the expansion of CONNER
cial loans has suddenly ceased, prices
of manufactured products show
weakness rather than strength, ant
there has been a reaction in the stocl
market. August has ended, but the in
terror demand for money still merely
balances the receipts of superhuous cur
rency from eastern points, although
crops are moving quite freely.
