BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Increased Activity and Definite Signs OF
stili Better Times.

NEW YORK, Nov 24.-R G. Dun &
Co 8 weekly review Of trade says today:
There are some changes for the better.
The gain Is slow and In some directions
not very distinct, but the signs Of 1t are
little moro definite than last week The
most important Of thom Is larger employ
ment OF labor. answering botter demand
on the whole for manufactured products.
Much Of this Is due to tho unnatural de.
lay Of orders for the winter which result
ed from prolonged uncertainty, but 1t
means actual increase in earnings and
purchasing power Of tho millions and so
gives promise of a larger demand In the
future Prices Of farm products in the
aggregate do not improve. but the pre-
vnillng hopefulness is folt In somewhat
larger transactions.
A little premium on gold, for the FIRST
time since 1878, naturally oxcites some
comment, oven though 10 Is only the
smallest fraction and apparently due 10
temporary causes. Indeniably it reflects
a disposition to hold gold which answers
70 the desire Of the government to get gold
without redeeming It's notes About
So, 200 600 has beon drawn from the treas
ury by redemption Of notes, and it Is sup
posed that much moro will be withdrawn
perhaps after tho award OF bonds, so that
the first payment may not raise the gold
reserve higher than It was q week ago
The upward tendency OF sterling ex-
change points the same way. The admit
ted need OF borrowing docs not increase
confidence But after tho treasury re-
serve has boon replenished greater oond.
denoe may follow. II Is expected that a
syndicate will bid for the full amount OF
bonds at prioa making the rate per
cent or a little less, and that other bids
will also be large, but how much gold the
treasury will get or keep is problomatioal
Textile industries have added a few
factories to the working list ngainst only
one or two withdrawn, and there has
been some improvement In tho demand
for woolens Moro supplementary orders
for spring have been received, and colder
weather has increased tho demand for
heavy goods Yot on the whole the mar
ket is not active and the manufacture Is
much below tho capacity of works.
