Dun & Co.'S Review Of Trade.
New YORK, November Or. q. Dun
& Co, 3 weekly review Of trade, which
issues tomorrow, will say:
Business has been waiting the greater
part OF the past week and the elections
are expected TO give 10 sharp stimulus
la the speculative market there has
been scarcely any movement and moth
ing favorable TO holders. Wheat is &C
higher, but there is little encourage
ment, because stocks in sight are far
beyond all previous records. Corn has
fallen about &C, Notwithstanding the
fact that Western receipts were small
for statistics have little effect when the
supply is believed 20 be 50 far short
For the prerent the stocks here and
abroad are large enough 10 Kill any
speculations.
The output Of pig iron was larger by
7.13l tons November lSt, when IL was
l5S. 500 tons weekly, than il was OCtO-
Der LIST, and larger than year ago, but
10 is still about IS per cent below the
output last May, before the great de.
preston began. IL is noted that nearly
all the furnaces 10 the region depending
on ConuellsviIle coke and lake ore now
10 operation, with an output of 80. 600
tons weekly out OF a maximum in that
region OF 1900 tons, but beSsemer iron
is rather weaker in Pittsburg, aud prices
for finished productss of iron and steel
have not improved. Some of the wire
rod mills have closed for lack OF orders,
and a few OF the large steel-m8king
concerns have reduced hours Of work.
Al the same time, there is a decided i'm
prOvement 10 the tone of the market and
general confidence that the business
will now improve.
Scarcely anything is doing in WOODEN
goods for spring delivery and the de-
maud for fall and winter goods has
nearly disappeared. In general Is is
believed that the spring orders thus far
are not more than half the usual guam
tity. The sales of wool at the three
chief markets OF the east have been
only 8, 5T5, 900 pounds, against 1854, zoo
last year aud S,2l5,O 10 1892 for the
corresponding week. There is no
speculative buying, and manufacturers
are purchasing only for their imme-
diate needs, so that prices, though
averaging about a quarter OF a cent
lower than month ago, show no ten
eency as vet TO improve.
The failures during the week past
have been POI in the United States
against SIS last year and - ia Canada
against Sc last year.
There have been few failures OF con.
sequence during the week, but none Ct
extensive influence.
