puN,s COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

EEaFOrIng Conditions but Little Improve
ment IN MISUNDERSTANDING the Result
IN November-Buying, Openly Specufa-
tive In Character, Marks the Currant
business Gold Imports Continue Heavy
with Westward Movement of Money.
New YORK. Sept I9-R- 6. Dun &
Co, in their weekly review of trade
to-day. say:
There is still no distinct improve
ment in business. although conditions
favor it Confidence slowly RISES
speculative buying of materials for
future use continues, imports of gold
do not cease and the Bank of England
has not tried to check them by further
advance in rates, as the weight of the
demand now falls upon France. But
an enormous business is held back I'M
til the future is more clear.
Outside of speculative markets the
impression grows that certain and safe
revival may not be expected until No
yember.
In cotton, hides, wool and pig iron
buying openly speculative in character
marks the current business.
Resumption of work by a good part
OF the Fall River cotton mills and adj
vances in some kinds of goods helped
to raise the price of middIing uplands
to SO cents again, though realizing
sent it down to ~ cents
The favorite speculative estimate,
which was about 400, 900 bales in error
yeSr ago. alarmed many by naming
1900, ZOO bales as the minimum, and
5000, 900 as the maximum, a range
wide enough in itself to suggest doubt
and either quantity with stocks car
ried over is more than the world has
ever consumed.
The one industry showing increase
of working force is the cotton manu-
facture, restriction of output having
secured more healthy demand for some
goods. Most of mills have started or
are about to start, though the uncer-
tainty of the cotton markets embar-
RAISES prices. Prices of staple goods
have advanced SO generally that the
average of representative quotations
is 81 per cent. higher than the first
week of August.
No such Improvement is seen in
woolens, but the speculative buying
of wool, nearly all at Boston, has
raised sales to 17,775, 800 pounds Tor
the past three weeks, against 17,123,-
40 last year, and "a, 572, 400 in 1892.
The iron and steel manufacture is
still waiting for business with nearly
half its producing capacity idle, but
hopefulness and the speculative buy
ing of pig iron sustain prices.
Gold imports continue. over S5,O00,-
600 having been ordered, making $780,
3S5, 900 in all, of which about $24, $780,
600 has arrived. The interior move
ment draws off the money about as
fast as it comes, 81, ESQ, 600 having gone
westward this week. The New Or
leans difficulties have passed, but the
northwest is making large drafts. Re-
cent heavy failures increase the eau
ton of banks, and while more CONNER
cial paper is offered, the ruling rate of
eight per cent. greatly retards in
crease In business.
The failures for the week have been
317 in the United States against 213
last year and 80 in Canada, against 81
last year.
