hanging heavily on their hands, con-

to make a series of more OF less elab-

LOCAL FIELD Of COMMERCE
Dun & Co.'s Report of Local
Trade Conditions
BUSINESS is IMPROVING
Better Facilities Needed to Serve
Country Merchants
The Stimulating Effect of Fall Trade Is Plain =
Iy Seen in All Manufacturing
Lines-Trade Notes

r. W. Burnham, manager for r. O..
Dun & Co.. furnishes the following re-
view of local trade conditions:
The volume of general trade shows an
increase the past week. Jobbers report
business good and retailers say trade is
more active, the larger dry goods houses
especially reporting increased business.
There would seem to be an opening here
for wholesale drygooGs firm. The city,
while supplied for distribution in other
lines, is in this essentially wanting. This
lack hampers particularly the buyer
rounding up the stock of a general mer-
ohandise store. and thus defects consid-
cradle trade in all lines.
The stimulating effect of the fall trade is
plainly seen in all manufacturing lines.
Foundries and machine shops and
planning mills are well employed, many
running over time. Liberal offerings Of
the new bean crop cause a tendency to
shade quoted prices. Increased orders
from the east have developed more activity
in dried fruits. One of the leading ship
peIs states that caroads of assorted fruits
are constantly moving now, and for the
past ten days there have been no reflections
in choice grades.
Banks report deposits increasing with
good demand for commercial loans.
There has been only one failure in
Southern California in the last week
with liabilities OF $4,000, assets $1,000,
making total of eight for the month
with liabilities of $2l, 900. assets $6000
In October, 1894, there were ten failures,
with liabilities of $4,000, assets $ll 600.
