Dear Sir:=YOurs of the 10th, en-
closing a copy of your open letter to

ceived.
81 have examined the points you
attempt to make against the com mis-
sion and find every material position
taken by you is false, while our own
positions are in the main clearly sub
sta tia ted by the evidence taken by
the cOnmiss on and chiefly by the
sworn testimony Of the railway and
Pullman officials This evidence can
be freely examined by anyone YOU
see fit to send to this Office. as / have
an extra copy of it, or you can find a
copy of it in the hands Of Judge
Worth ngtOn, at Peoria.
THE testimony viii be printed by
order of congress and then everyone
can satisfy n mself as to the truth Of
the position taken by the com mission.
I believe the report of the com mission
to be thoroughly impregnable as to
every material statement of facts.
VIVA tever specific answer the com
mission may make to the charges of
the Railway Age. and of other papers
presume the commission will prefer to
make officially and not to any in3i-
vid ual publication. Such an answer
I have no right now to make, because

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-R. G.. Dun g.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade saws:
There is some change for the better.
The gain is slow and in some direc-
tions not very distinct, but the signs
of it are a little more definite than
last week The most important of
them is the larger employment of Ia -
Dor, answering a better demand on
the whole for manufactured products
Much Of this is due to the unnatural
delay of orders for the winter, which
resulted from prolonged uncertainty,
but it means actual increase in earn
ings and purchasing power of the
millions and so gives promise of a
larger demand in the future Prices
of farm products in the aggregate do
not improve, but the prevailing hope
fulness is felt in some what larger
transactions
The wheat market has lost this
week the cent it gained last week,
receipts being larger and the Allan
tic exports are also larger, $40, :

count cOmpared with the great visi bic
supply. Foreign reports this week
have been rather more promising,
though the fact remains that the
WOEl0 crop OUTSIDE the = u4Gc0
States is probably the largest ever
grown. Corn has declined half a
cent. receipts having much increased
Textile industries have added a few
factories to the working list, against
only one or two withdrawn and there
has been some Improvement in the
demand for woolens. Sales of wool
for the week increased again, though
still far behind last year. and four
