DUN Reports Improvement, but Brad
streets Can't See 1t That Way
Exports and Failures

New York, Nov. 27.-R. 6. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
When the rush OF orders after the e1ec-
ton slackened, many began to think bus
mess dwindIing. Subsistence of deferred
orders is not decrease of business. Broad
ly speaking, the gain has been greater than
anybody expected, and it is not surprising
If a small part of it is in excess of tie
present consuming demand. Reports from
all parts of the country show clearly the
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 altogeth-
er good for retail trade, but in that line
also there is improvement on the whole.
Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Last
weeks disappointment of the lack OF de-
mand in general lines continues. the inter
vention of holiday having made trade
quieter and the volume smaller. AT some
points of distribution there is no change
in the situation. Mild and unreasonable
weather prevents a more active distribu-
ton of clothing and heavy goods, and the
volume moving is smaller. Where busi-
ness has been more active II is due to fill
ing-in orders and TO the demand for holi-
day goods. Confidence in a revival of de-
mand which has not yet appeared was re-
and factories, which are dissatisfied with
their prospects. The most encouraging re-
ports are of an improved tone of trade and
a favorable outlook for 1897 The large
number of changes in prices of staples
were downward this week.
Exports OF wheat (hour included as
wheaO. from both coasts of the United
States CNewport News missins). amount to
3.641 SIS bushels this week, against 1881. 900
bushels last week, 2,4s0,Oo0 bushels in the
week one year ago. 2,6s7.O 600 bushels in the
week two years ago, 244O.OO0 bushels three
years ago, and as compared with 900
bushels in 1892 Exports OF Indian corn
this week amount to 2.s5l, ,663 bushels.
against 2.g75 90 bushels last week $4,000
bushels in the week one year ago. and
comparatively small quantities in corre-
spending weeks in three preceding years.
There were 2s5 business failures through
ont the United States this week. thirteen
fewer than last week, seven more than in
the week one year ago, twelve fewer than
two years ago and three less than in the
corresponding week Of 1892 As compared
with the like week OF 1892. when the volume
of business was large and trade generally
prosperous. the increase this week is only
