DUN'S REVIEW.


 New York. Nov CIR. G. Dun & Go. will say tomorrow in their weekly review of trade:
 A great revolution has been effected this week in the conditions which con troI business It could not be in any fair degree reflected as yet in transactions or in records, but there Is ample evidence already that a crushing weight has been lifted and rolled away and the business world has begun to adjust itself to a state of freedom and security which II has not known for years. Dread or lm- measura ble disaster no longer locks up resources and paralyZes enterprise and new contracts involving many millions have become binding since the election.
 The instant vanishing of the premium on gold which had reached about per cent, the unlocking of many millions which had been hoarded, the collapse or the interest rate from and 12 to ana 5b per cent, and the quick demand for American securities on foreign account are signs of more lasting promise. The lifting of the load of peril and of fear, all men know. means an incalculable relief for all industry and trade.
 Speculation in cotton was on the theory that mills would now start up, as many have done, and would meet large ue mand for goods. But the advance was met by realizing sales and slight reac- ton. It will be all the better for business if bright hopes do not hoist prices too fast.
 The election has stiffened prices Of pig iron. which reached $12 at Pittsburg Tor Bessemer, and the certainty that many large orders for buildings and bridges and other finished forms would now be- come operative justifies some advance. The future of this trade now depends up- on the extent of increase in demand for finished products cs iron and steel, which is likely to be materially affected by the course pursued by various combinations. The billet pool, which is still openly un- der-sold at Pittsburg. and has caused no end of disturbance in business by favor- ing one class of producers to the detri- ment of another, has been in session here. and is said to have changed it's basis Of allotment so as to secure fairer results.
 The nail combination Is now threatened with a hostile league of jobbers and pro ducers and is openly under-sold. The bar combination, notwithstanding It's large rebate. Is still demanding more than .be price at which steel bars are sold in great quantities. A slight ad- vance inssheetings and print cloths Is the only change which yet appears in the market for cotton goods, and practically no change has yet appeared in woo1ens.
 Failures for the week have been 230 In the United States. against 280 last year, and b2 in Canada against 49 last year.

h the Portrayal of the Prosperity Which t
 Striving to 0vertake Us
STAPLE PRICES ARE HARDENING NOW
Pig Iron Has stiffened, Orders are Begin ming to Roll in, and Merchants and Manufacturers Look Confi-
 dently to the Future.

New York, Nov. 6.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 The expected has happened in the suc- cess of the fight for "sound money" One result Is return of confidence in the stability of values and the early revival of demand for staples. Lower rates of interest and willingness on the part of
 banks to make loans which had previous ly been declined are additional evidence of the meaning of the maintenance of the gold standard.
 Business was practically suspended throughout the country early this week, and there has been little increase in val ues compared with like periods in pre- ceding weeks. But manufacturers and jobbers are more inclined to purchase In advance instead of for nearby wants only, and in a few lines, notably wool, cotton iron and steel, larger volume of purchases is reported.
 That merchants generally share the confidence in an early revival is indicated by the hardening of staple prices and the increases in quotations in addition to those given in preceding weeks. Sales of cotton goods have been freer, and some mills are better employed. Woolen mills also report more orders, and a tendency to prefer higher cost goods. Numerous industrial esta blishments which have started up within two days report being offered large orders if they
 would sell for 1897 delivery at present prices. Millions of dollars worth of or ,ders for general merchandise, given con- contingent on the success of sound money are now being filled. Owing to the late- ness of the season few have regarded the outlook as promising much in the nature of boom during the current year. At a few northwestern commercial center5 large orders have been received from country merchants within few days, and Georgia farmers have met their obli- gations more promptly than for years past and southern merchants and manu- facturers are reported looking ahead con- fidently to a marked improvement in bus mess in the near future.
 Bank clearings totals continue below the billion dollar mark, $995, ,000, ,000 for the past week. an increase of per cent. over last week, but shows decrease of F per certs compared with the like total last year. Reactions in quotations are, con spicuous only for Indian corn and lard. while prices for oats pork, sugar ana [ petroleum are firm and practically un- changed.
 Pie iron is 25 cents higher with sales of considerable amounts in western mar kets.
 Lumber is firm the tendency is upward and there is an advance for white pine.
 Renewed demand for cotton goods and placing orders with mills advance print cloths
 Cotton, rosln and turpentine are high er,. as is coffee, while wheat under the stimulus of a strong statistical position, and to an extent, the results or the elec- tion, reports another marked advance.
