Appeared and Are Reflected in Some
what Larger Employment of Labor, In
Larger transactions and In Continued
Buying of Mat erials For Manufacture.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-R. G. Dun &
ComQany's weekly review of trade says
Distinctly better conditions of trade
have appeared of late and are reflected
in somewhat larger employment of Ia
Dor, In larger transactions, and in con-
tinued buying of materials for manu-
facture. A great part of the change is
due to those resistless laws of supply
and demand which take wheat where it
is wanted and gold where it is wanted.
India is waiting for cargoes of wheat on
the way from Pacific states, Just as
Australia and South America were not
so long ago.
The surplus usually available from In
dla disappear and the surplus from Rus
STA and European countries is reduced.
according to late estimates $4,000, 900
bushels. Happily this country has q
supply which official accounts have not
correctly measured, if actual movements
do not greatly mislead. Western re-
ceiptS for the week were 2,249, 900 BUSH
els, against 1851 ,474 last week, and this
follows an increase of IA ZOO, 900 bushels
in receipts during the quarter ending
Sept. 30. Atlantic exports, 2,069,0
bushels, flour included, for the week,
against 1,T07, 1929 last year, are not yet
so large as to force prices upward if
European buying, based ON European
needs, did not confront our markets. A
feature of large Importance, too, is the
unusually foreign demand for corn,
which is rarely failing sign of deficient
crops abroad, where other grains are
used instead when wheat becomes scarce
and dear.
Iron furnaces in blast Oct. 1 had a ca
pacity of 112,782 tons weekly, against
$4,000 Sept 1, and 217,306 Nov. 1 last
year, while unsold stocks decreased 3d.
852 tons, but if those steel making con-
Germs were included would probably
show an increase. Buying of materials
continues, but Bessemer is shade
weaker $11.40 at Pittsburg. The de-
mand for products is so light, and SO
much business is held back pending the
election, that decreasing output is an
unhealthy sign. There is quite a good
demand for sheets, especially at the
west, and rather better for pipes, and
outside concerns are getting larger con-
tracts in steel and iron bars and in
nails, but prices have not been received
Miner metals change little with slightly
better demand for copper lead quiet
and tin weaker, because visible supply,
81, 400 tons, is 5000 greater than a year
ago. Some competing manufacturers
are making large sales of 100 pound tin
plates at $500.
Textile manufacturers are gaining a
little and the buying of wool by large
mills covers 7,662,SOO pounds for the
week, against 1l,249,200 last year.
Prices advanced about per cent in Sep
TENDER and have since advanced even
more, though few of the mills have or
ders for long time. Buying of cotton
has been checked by heavy receipts
from plantations, 1929 1887 bales having
come into sight in September, against
1884 last year The price has dropped
seven-sixteenths for the week and fewer
now have confidence in a crop of only
10000 600 bales.
Failures for the week were 296 in the
United States, against 268 last year,
and As i'll Canada, against 90 last year.
