New YORK, Nov. Or. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review OF trade says:
There are some changes for the better. The
gain isSslow, and In some directions not very
distinct. but the signs OF it are little more
definite than last week. The most important OF
them Is larger employment OF labor, answering
u better demand on tha whole for manufactured
products. Much OF this Is due to the unnatur-
al delay Of orders for the winter which result
ed from long prolonged uncertainty but it
means actual increase In earnings and pur-
chasing power of the millions, and 30 gives
promise OF larger demand in the future.
Prices of farm products In the aggregate do
not improve, but the prevailing hopefulness is
felt in somewhat larger transactions.
"A little premium on gold, for the first time
since 1878, naturally excites some comment,
even though 1t is only the smallest fraction,
and apparently due to temporary causes. I'm
deniably 1t reflects a disposition to hold gold.
which answers to the desire OF the
government to get gold without redeem-
ing its notes. About IS, 100000 has been
drawn from the treasury by redemption
Of notes, and 1t is supposed that much more
will be withdrawn, perhaps after the award
of bonds, SO that the first payment may not
raise the gold reserve higher than 1t was a
week ago The upward tendency OF sterling
exchange points the same way; the admitted

But after the treasury reserve has been re-
plenished greater confidence may follow
1T Is expected that syndicate will bid for
the full amount of bonds at price 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 problematic.
There Is no improvement In the demand tor
commercial loans and money still drifts to
this center, scarcely any going south and none
west
1.-The wheat market has lost this week the
cent it gained last week, western receipts be-
ing larger and Atlantic exports are also larger
s-567,7 bushels against 703,026 last year-but
these are OF small account compared with the
great visible supply. Foreign reports this
week have been rather more promising. though
the fact remains that the world sacrop outside
Of the United States Is probably the: largest
ever grown. Corn has declined ~ Cents, re-
ceipts having been Increased ~
Textile industries have added aIfeW fac
tories to the working list, against only one or

ment in the demand for woolens. More sup
Elementary orders for spring have been re-
ceived and colder weather has increased the
demand for heavy goods. Yet on the whole
the market Is not active and the manufacture
Is much below the capacity OF works

Boston have been Tor November thus Ear t4s,-
943 cars against 1853 $40 last year and bSs,582 in

larger since January than In any previous
year. In spite of the general demand for
cheaper grades, this is q most encouraging
record. ~ IS. ;st
