WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YoRK.-Duns Seelly trade review
says: In some trades the season is too far adj
Vance1 for, great activity, and In others the
supposed effects Of the voting hinder opera
tons. But IL is satisfa = ory that the volume
OF production is well maintained, and in one or
two branches increased that no monetary
difficulties disturb: that breadstuffs are little
higher and that no material decline appears
during the week in manufactured products At
present the volume OF business transacted is
on the whole smaller than last year, and much
smaller than in lSlr,. Corn has advanced &C.
with western receipts only third and exports
about an eighth OF last years Yet pork and
hogs are q shade lower, with lard about the
same. Wheat is &C higher for spot and ic for
December. and IL looks as IL strength in corn
had prevented further decline. The irresist-
able force is OF course the 4 rmous accumula-
tion which continues. althoe1h producers may
naturally be Inclined not to sell at current
prices. The depression OF cotton and wheat
and the partial loss OF the corn crop. must be
reckoned important causes OF hcsitancy in re-
tail distribution OF products Waiting for re-
tail trade depresscs the textile manufactures
and concessions in price have been made to
as generally dull without indications OF inn
provement. In woods, the fan and winter de-
mand is disappointing. though still fairly large
for the season, but the expected supplemental
orders do not appear ana great uncertainty
prevails as tOEspring goods. Manufacturers
are not dlspo jcu to produce In advance OF the
tariff change, January /. and so are buying only
Tor current needs. and at the west IL is COM
planned that wool goes begging at prices below
the parity OF similar wool abroad on the
secured basis. During the past week failures
have been 249 In the United states against S5S
