TONE OF TRADE.
A Strong Reaction Against Rapid Advance
I'm Prices.

In Prices.
New York, Sept. Or. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review OF trade says:
There Is no real reaction in business.
Gains which were recognized as temporary
are vanishing. but there remains a decided In
crease over last year at date, although pri ces
average per cent lower than year ago
1t needs no keen observer TO see that the re-
action against the rapid advance Of prices is
strong. Cotton is strong, but has paused
The general tendency TO curtail purchases
where prices have notably advanced grows
clearer in boots and shoes, in wool, and in
some products of iron.
Imports are large. but IL is stated that
Bradford manufacturers find IL hard TO get
labor enough TO MI their orders. so that delay
may cancel many contracts as Inferior quail
tty has cancelled some already. The cottor
manufacturer has rising cotton and a strong
market to help but a chance Of great strike
for higher wages
THE brightest feature in all the horiz on Is
the certainty that the crop OF corn will be
enormous FrOsts nowcan only affect a small
fraction. and the surplus will go into the
manufacture OF eals, because at IS cents at
New York, nearly four cents lower than 6
week ago. there is 20 other profitable use fol
corn,
"One farm product which has been strong
because certainly short In yield, rose from 8 10
day, but has since been weak in spite Of con-
certed lfficial statements that the decrease is
50 per cent in some states and q Per cent IN
Texas.
The public observes much skilled and or
ganized labor in these reports and also sees
what many spectators refuse to see, the
100000 bales old American brought over. II
is earnestly hoped that southern agriculture
has not sustained so great calamity. The
annual reports, showing larger Yield last
year than has been supposed only indicate
that more cotton must remain in the country
beside the unconsumed stocks abroad A
quiet market without much change in prices
for time would be a blessing to the south
The demand for commercial and manufac.
turing loans for the west is somewhat larger.
