WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW HoRK.-Dun's weekly review says:
Business is still waiting Tor the development
of retail trade. There is q little better demand
in some industries. but not so good in others.
Wholesale dealers in nearly all branches are
halttng because business does not yet show dis
tinctly what IL is TO be. Lower prices for the
great farm staples md lower wages in some
establishments hinder purchases for consump-
tion, while political interest and uncertainty
also have retarding influence. Meanwhile
large imports and small exports OF merchandise
with inadequate employment for money here,
nre raising the rates OF foreign exchange, so
that possibilities OF gold exports somewhat
affect the stock market The hating attitude
for the moment is disturbing to those who have
looked for continued gain The government
crop reports are not greatly trusted. and vet
have an influence, ana actually exaggcrate the
tendency toward lower prices because they
are supposed 20 put all the crops too low. Corn
has been stronger, for receipts are hardly
quarter and exports barely an eighth of last
years. The iron industry records larger pro-
duction in september than any other month
THIS year, but as prices are gradually weaken
ing because OF insufficient demand for finished
products some works are preparing 10 close or
shorten time. The woolen mills still have
numerous belated orders for fall goods but the
demand for spring does not increase, though in
nearly all the lower-priced products domestic
makers appear TO command most OF the busi-
ness There have been 231 failures In the
United States. against 393 last year, and 43 in
Canada against AZ last year.
NEW IoRK.-Bradstreets review says:
An actuation, OF favorable features is revealed
in the telegraph reports. While most OF the
advtces OF Improvement come from the west
and south there are some encouraging features
also reported from the east. In New England
although the demand Is classed as only moder-
ate and a conservative trade Is tho rule; the
industrial situation improves, owing to the
ending OF the great cotton mill strike, and print
cloths are weaker as a result Australian COM
petition has also weakened raw wool prices
iron production everywhere at present Is very
large and this has impaired values OF the raw
and manufactured product quite noticeably.
Az Chicago business In staple lines is large,
although slackening from previous weeks is
noted Notable price changes have been the
decline OF &c in cotton and raw sugar, Csc IN
pork and 5Oc In steel billets.

they themselves put it, that employment
should be given TO the crowd which they
led. The governor iutimated 10 Swift
and Casson that he would DO all in his
power 10 help the unemployed. He ad-
dressed the crowd to that effect.
