BRADsTREET,s REVIEW.
Heavy Orders Received by Mills of
Various Kinds

Various h1n0S.
New York, Nov. 8. = Bradstreet's
says: Business was practically sus-
pended throughout the country this
week, ana there has been little in
crease In the volume since the election,
compared with like periods in proceed
ing weeks. But manufacturers and
1obDers are more inclined to purchase
III advance instead Of for nearby
wants only. and in few lines, notably
wool, cotton, iron and steel, larger
volume OF business is reported. That
merchants generally share the conf
dence 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 frecr
and some mills are better employed.
Wooden mills also report more orders
and a tendency to prefer higher cost
goods. Numerous Industrial establish
ments which have started up within
two days report being offered large
orders it they would sell for 1897 de-
livery ut present prices. Many Rhode
Island manufacturers report prepara-
tlonS for Il larger output than antici-
pated, and that orders received con-
tlngent OH election results, notably in
the lumber and jewelry lines, are now
being filled. Owing to the lateness of
the season few have regarded the out
look as promising much in the nature
OF boom during the current year. At
few Northwestern commercial cent
ers large orders have been received
from country merchants within few
days. and i'll Georgia farmers have met
their obligations this autumn more
promptly than for years past, and
Southern merchants and manufacture
ers are reported looking ahead conf
IDENTITY to marked improvement in
business in the near future.
