Dun & Co.'s Review

NEW YORK, Nov. 1c.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
Colder and more stormy weather. so long
needed to accelerate the distribution of
winter goods has materially helped in some
quarters, and the resulting Improvement
in retail trade is mentioned in nearly every
northern dispatch this week. so that or
ders to fill stocks have been encouraging,
and In some branches the multitude of de-
mands for immediate delivery show that
the distribution to consumers has already
gone much beyond the expectations of the
dealers. But this is not yet the general
rule, and with many complaints of de-
layed trade from other quarters. there
still remains the extensive shrinkage
caused by fever and quarantines in the
south. 1t is, therefore. the more surprs-
ing that the volume of all payments
through the clearing house continue about
as large as In 1892, and 1871 per cent larger
than last year. Railroad earnings also
nearly equal those of 1892 for the first
week of November, and half the mileage
in the United States shows earnings in
October of $50. 354, ,496. or per cent larger
than last year and 90 per cent larger than
in 1892. Speculative markets feel disap-
pointment because prices do notjrise far
ther and faster, but 1t Is fortunate for pro-
ducers and dealers that the experience of
some past years has not been repeated.
There is nothing to cause general reaction.
the purchasing power Of the people is grad
ually increasing, and after the lull which
follows extensive replcnishment OF stocks.
trade should give ample evidence of that
increase.
The output of iron furnaces November
1st was 212 159 tons weekly, against 200, 129
October LIST, q gain Of 81 per cent, and un-
sold stocks decreased $3.50 tons In Octo-
ber, indicating a larger consumption In
manufactures than ever before, even when
the output of pig was rushed by swiftly
advancing prices to the highest point
217,6S2 tons-~November /, 1896. Prices Of
iron products rose that year 55.3 per cent,
but are now not per cent higher than
June 9th. The enormous output, with some
more furnaces started in November. causes
but slight decline in Bessemer pig to
$10.25 at Pittsburg, with no decline in the
other pig there. at the east or Chicago,
and no fall in prices Of finished products
except q shade In angles. While most
works have orders for the rest of the year.
and In sheets and some other branches are
far behind in deliveries, new orders are
few, but include one for 1000 cars at Chi
cago and one for 400 at Pittsburg: one for

The dullness in Americans here is partly
due to difficulties of a dealer who is bull

cline In cotton and the slow demand for

but on a tip that preceded its detail that
Ii would be bullish in tone buying started
that put the price from around 9AM90A.
After receipt of the Modern Miller report
the price sagged TO 901a, but near the end
of the session assurances from most re-
liable sources in the northwest were re-
ceived to the effect that there was marked
falling off in farmersi deliveries. and they
were today not over half what they were a
week ago. That information, and the fact
that some of the Duluth wheat which has
been shipped here lately, is missing a
grade, caused q sudden revival of the mar
kets' previously waning strength: Decem-
ber which was hanging neglectedly around
93h responded to the bidding for limited
quantity for a sudden spurt to 945s. and
May, from around 9012 rose to 81. Closing

What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street
