NEW YORK, Nov. 27-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: when the rush of orders
after election Stacked, many began to
think business dwindling. Subsistence
or deferred orders is not decrease of
business. Broadly speaking, the gain
has been greater than anybody expect
ed, and it is not surprising if a small
part of it is in excess of the present
consuming demand Reports from all
parts of the country show clearly an
enlargement Of trade, not at all points
in the same branches, but everywhere
helped by a more confident feeling.
Extremes Of weather have made the
week not altogether good for retail
trade, but in that line also there is
Improvement on the whole.
Wheat has risen over cents for the
week, without material change in for
eign advices, which have been, on the
whole, less stimulating Western re-
| ceipts are falling behind last years,
and for four weeks past have been
| only 19,012,5S4 bushels against 1892
512 last year, while the exports, flour
included, have been 6,270,981 bushels in
the same week, against 6,265,018 last
year and are not large enough to create
excitement But thirteen cargoes
have left Tacoma in November and
thirty have left San Francisco, with
twelve more loading and forty en-
gagged. The milling demand in the At
lantic states is also large. At four
Western cities the output of -four in
five weeks has been 1855, 415 barrels
! against 2,613, 300 in the same weeks last
year. Corn has sympathized with
wheat only a little and is coming free
ly. The most important factor in the
| wheat market is that the visible sup
plies do not gain as much as has been
| expected
| Cotton has gained only a sixteenth,
after its considerable decline and the
tolerably heavy movement puts the
spectators for an advance in constant
| difficulties. Wool was and is still
bought largely for speculation and
earlier purchasers are unloading on the
later, but the mills are not yet doing
much more than in October. few
more have been started but there is
scarcely more demand apparent for
staple goods Including speculative
operations, the sales Of wool have been
for four weeks 1884 100 pounds, of
which 26,212,0 900 were domestic The
producing capacity in operation does
not seem to be half the capacity of the
works, and the stoppage of several
large carpet mills within the past ten
| days is of Importance.
The collapse Of the nail combination
and probably Of the beam combina-
ton and considerable reduction in quo
tations for nails and beams, give rea-
son to look for a larger demand fol
| products of iron and steel, but at pres
I ent the sales against speculative pur-
chases made some time ago are de-
pressing prices. The demand for such
| products as are not controlled by the
| combinations is somewhat increasing.
but by no means as rapidly as expect
| ed. In minor metals tin is scarcely
as strong as it was a week ago, but
copper and lead are stronger.
Failures for the week have been 800
in the United Stats, against 279 last
| year, and SO in Canada, against AZ last
| year.
