NEW YORK, Nov. 23-R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade tomor-
SOW will say, There is some change for
the better. The gain is slow 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 n
Letter demand on the whole for manufac-
tured products. Much of this is due t.
the unnatural delay of orders for the W H.
ter, which resulted from prolonged uncer-
iainty, but lie means actual increase III
earnings and purchasing power of the
millions, and so gives promise OF larger
demand in the future. Prices of farm
vioGucts in the aggregate do not improve
Gui the prevailing Eopefulness Is teit IN
.,inrwhat larger transactions.
The wheat market has lost this week the
cent il gained last week, receipts being
larger. and Atlantic exports are also lar
ger. 576 al bushels against fG2,O2o lhst
year. but these are of small account COM
psred with the great visible supply. For
siCu REPORTS this week have been Father
more promising, though the fact rem aims
mat the worlds crop outside the United
states is probably the largest ever grown.
Torn las declined half n cent, receipts
rland for COTTON continues large, exports
icing 30 900 bales larger than for the same
week last year, but receipts also continue
greater than year ago, ana tor threr
months will closely approximate those Of
The same three months when the yield was
over 5000, 600 bales. The price rose an
eighth.
Textile industries have added few
factories to the working list, against only
one or two withdrawn and there has been
some Improvement in the demand for
woolens. More supplementary orders for
spring have been received, and colder
weather has decreased the demand for
heEyy goods. Yet, on the whole, the
market is not &C i've and the manufacture
IS much below the capacity OF the works.
Sales of wool for the week iDcreaged again
