Review of the Past Weeks Trade Some
Comparisons.
New York, Oct L. X. G.. Dun ~
Co. s weekly review OF trade says:
Special inquiry has been made this week
at all commercial centcrs regarding the state
OF retail trade wide diversity appears 10
different trades. The main facts disclosed
are: First, marked improvement Ina the last
month and considerable excess over the busi-
ness done q year ago, particularly Ia the nee
cssaries OF life. Hut second. 10 appears that
the volume OF trade at present IL on the whole
considerably less than In normal year at
most points and IN the more important trades
is apparently about 90 per cent smaller than
In september 1892
Evidence of continued improvement In whole
sale trade and manufacture does not appear
this week. There Is large distribution on
orders given some time ago, but new business
going 10 the manufacturers Is everywhere
slaokcniug The completion OF orders for re-
punishment OF stocks leaves narrower de-
mand and II is yet too early for consumption
10 provide further orders
The depression In prices OF farm products
will have some influence. Unprecedented
records have been made ia cotton and wheat,
though TO wheat only In contracts for fu-
ture delivery ia which the prices are the low
est ever made. The available stocks are
about 100000 bushels greater than year
ago. and western receipts for the week were
be5s,7l6 bushels. against 6,i0iO3i last year
ana since August I. bi.O0OOoO bushels, against
5000 900 last year.
IL is encouraging that the speculation IN
corn has broken and the price has fallen i've
cents less gloomy estimates than those OF the
department having gained general acceptance.
10 Is now supposed that the yield is not far
from 1900 OoO.00O bushels which win COM
pei much economy la feeding, but speculation
IN pork has also broken, aud tho prico has
fallen 20 cents. while lard has declined half .
