NEW YORK, Sept. 15.--R. G. Din &
Co. S weekly review of trade issud to-
day says:
Business has met no setback this
week. and continues lager than arlv
in August and larger than a wear
ago directly after the panic. More
commercial paper is offered the
western demand for money in
creases; the iron manufacture geatly
expands its output: shipments oshoes
continue large, ard cotton good still
advance little. In some directions
the postponed business has abou spent
itself, and less active trade esults,
while the net increase has MT been
much more thai is usually seen in
passing from August to Se,tember.
In comparison with last year the in
come is 10 per cent. in volumeo of clear
ings, while in Gmparison with Sep
tember, 1892, theldecrease is 25.s per
cent Railroad arnings in s. ptember
thus far reportedare l.a per nent. less
than last year, but 15.5 per cent. less
than in 1892, and ths tonnage compar-
| lson shows substantially the same re-
| suit.
| The country has now passed nearly
| three weeks under thesnew tariff, and
| all admit that changes have been of
less Importance as vet than was ex-
pected. If in some branches business
has material increasd, it has gained
little or has fallen off ii others. Loss
IN some directions is explained by crop
reports. for the most. favora bic esti-
mate of experts puts TIA loss of corn at
about 400, 900, 900 bushels. whereas the
government report is by some inter-
pretcd as meaning loss of 900. 900, 900
bushels he opinion of the trade
does not favor the official estimate, and
he price has not risen at all during
the week. though receipts have been
very small: exports have practically
ceased. and all realize that the shrink
age IF 400. 600. 600 bushels is serious, If
1t proves no greater. since it must af-
feet prices of. meats for year or more.
Fork is unchanged, but lard has risen
80 cents per 100 pounds.
Nor are official reports as favorable
to wheat. Western receipts in two
weeks have bcs~-4t ++SS4ts7 bushels,
against 16,674. 761 last year, and Allan
tic exports only 2,074, 700, against
5,l06,56 last year, and the price is one
half cent lower. Considerable injury
is officially reported to cotton, but few
expect less than s.5o0,000 bales. which
is more than enough and the price is
sixteenth lower.
Shipments of shoes from Boston in
two weeks have been 1926 cases,
against los. i50 last year. and in low
priced goods the market has not been
as bare for years. while purchases
from stocks or for quick delivery re-
fleet depletion of stocks and consum-
ing demands
Less activity is seen in dry goods,
the rush of postponed business having
abated. and there is more disposition
to defer purchases because of some
what general advances in cotton goods,
and because London wool sales are ex-
pected to make the outlook clearer.
Strikes in cotton mills have not ceased,
and stocks of print clotsss shrink rap
idly: but SOM fss-st.I whether re-
cent advances ii the Sycan he main
tanned. with inn Jivingsf editions to the
present force bird fin rs still a fair
business for spepaspea a|very in wool
ems, and for cRal ordeukdes of spring
goods, but SCARCELY anything is done
in the finer grades. About half the
usual business in the aggregate has
been done, it is estimated. but about
three-quarters in the cheaper grades.
Sales of wool have been s.255, 200
pounds in two weeks. against 5,647, 900
last year and 16. 42s, SOD In 1892 The
markets are easier anu less active, all
waiting for the London sale.
Speculation in stocks has been tame,
the public being indisposed to sell,
while crop prospects and unsatisfac-
tory earnings hinder any movement by
operators. London has sold little,
but the average for railroad stocks has
advanced during the week 80 cents per
share, while trust stocks declined 6s
cents, whisky showing most weakness.
Domestic trade reflected by clearing
house returns, naturally about 10 per
cent. larger IN September than in Au-
gust, gains little morethan last year,
but less than in 1892.
There is little-kmpovement this
week in offers 6f@s9nfmercial paper,

factures. though the business is still |
The movement westward and |
has also improved, and the |
scarcity of small notes for use at the |
west has enabled the treasury to add a
little to its gold reserve. Customsre-
ceipts in September are $9,084, 4,037.
against s.. 1856, 124 internal revenue, and
imports of merchandise increased less
than was expected. Exports of prod
ucts from New York in two weeks have
been 1S per cent. smaller than last
year, and in August the principal ex-
ports amounted to s35,675,6S1. against
