DUN q CO.'S REVIEW.
A General Upward Movement of
Prices Anticipated.

a General Upward Movement of
Prices Anticipated.
II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: Better prospects and relief
from monetary anxiety do not yet bring
larger demands for finished products,
though largo buying of pig iron, wool,
leather, hides, cotton and other materials
continues to show growing business and
that general movement upward in prices
will come with the replenishment of deal
ers' stocks this fall.
Most prices are extremely low, so that
nothing more than an ordinary demand
would advance them. But bank failures
at New Orleans cause temporary hcsita-
tion; crop returns indicate some disap-
pointment in some cotton and some spring
wheat states; prices of corn and oats
make it Improbable to sell at present;
the number of manufacturing works and
mines in operation does not gain, but
rather decreases; reductions of wages are
somewhat numerous, occasionally ar
rested by strikes, and all these conditions
diminish for time the buying power of
the people. While many think general
improvement cannot come until the elec-
ton has remeyed politiea! certainties,
others expect soon to see the result anti.
cipated.
Failures for the week have been Sl5 in
the United States, against 1877 last year,
and ~ in Canada, against 81 last year.

there is never anything lost in preparing
for them, for the losses of one severe VIM
ter will pay many times over for the extra
expense of being ready for it when it

has been but one severe winter in
