DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Observation-Disclosures

Z
New York, September Pr. G. Dun
e Co. S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
A very moderate and yet distinct i'm
provement is seen, no longer only in the
buying of materials, which continues
and stiffens prices, but also in orders for
products of some industries, in money
markets and in exports OF staples. It
is as yet little more than step 10 better
things, but has aieady started some
important works and prompted a few
considerable contracts.
Continuing arrivals of gold have
ra:sd the treasury reserve above Sl25,-
600, 900, strengthened the banks and re-
Taxed the stringency in commercial
loans, so that at about ! per cent. lower
rates more busin IS was done than in
three previous weeks. Hoarding is no
longer reported, but some boards are
being unlocked. The movement Of
crops continues large, and purchases for
export have advanced prices or pre-
vented depression. While the gain in
working force is not great, it seems clear
that for the first time in many months
there is some net gain.
Finished products Of iron meet more
inquiry, and the placing OF contracts for
$4,000 tons of s,eel for three new battle
ships. for one large building here and
for several bridges, explain the starting
of two or three works, but with such
months as have passed, a little business
is a gain. A sharp iG:i Of 81 per ton IN
low phosphorus pig and a slight rise in
grey forge at Piusburg and in steel
plates. are The only changes noted in
prices. bur blliets are still sold by out
s,ders at $3.50. bar steel at $1.05 and
furnace coke blow 50, with an output
of only 5O177 tons weekly at Connells-
Vile. though all the combinations main
tain their prices.
Exports of $1,000 tons of rai,s this
wear al prices far below those current
hire. and $4,000 tons pig to England at
IS. % at Manchester, freight being at
least s3.15. indicate unloading a surplus
abroad 10 avoid weakening markets
here.
