Viewed By Dun.

New York, Aug. 27.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade tomor
row, will say:
Speculative markets have their turns
of reaction, but business has none this
season, gaining with a steadiness which
is most gratifying The starting of
works. increase in hands employed,
advance in wages and in prices of prod
ucts, and the heavy movement Of crops,
are facts which all speculative influ-
ences have to bow. The weeks dis
patches mention 16 iron works which
have started, against one closing, 10
wooden works starting, and so in many
other branches, while many more works
have increased their force, and many
are preparing to resume, and some have
increased wages. While these things
continue-with grain rising and going
abroad in enormous quantities-money
markets have reason for Astounding
confidence and speculative markets for
strength.
Crop prospects are contradictory, as
is usual at such a. time, but it is note
worthy that none of them indicate any
thing less than an ample supply of the
great staples.
The wool market reflects in greater
strength and further advance in some
grades, the heavy buying of woolens
which has set many mills to work night
and day. and caused makers of many
grades to withdraw them entirely from
the market But while the mills have
done somewhat more, most of them
hold large stocks, and the trading has
been mainly speculative between deal
ers.
Failures for the week are 223 in the
United States, against 2SS last year,
| and 81 in Canada, against SO last year.

NOT A NEW DEPARTURE.
D. & R. G. Has Been Operating
Through Car Service For Years.

A great commotion seems to have
taken place among railway circles, ow-
ing to a contemplated through car SER
vice between the Pacific coast and Chi
cago, which is to operate one day each
week. This is not a new departure by
any means, as the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company and its con-
nections have been operating through
car service between the Pacific and At
lantic coast via Salt Lake, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday,, Thursday and Fri
day evening. The cars for this through
service are of the latest Pullman de-
sign, are supplied with new clean linen
and bedding throughout. A Pullman
porter is assigned to each car. These
cars are also under the personal super
vision of a special excursion agent.
whose duty it is to see that passengers
are given every comfort and attention.

of some western grain carrying roads

Private advices from the east to

however, but on account Of a shortage

Reliable news from that country

Conrtableau, and compel those who
have heretofore used it, to 60 down the
Teche, thus increasing the distance and
the expense of navigation. We say
there is force in this view and that the
police jury should, before doing any
thing, duly and maturely consider it.
On the other hand, it is not to be for
gotten that congress shows no desire to
aid in removing the impediment to nav
igation which perpetually exists at Lit
tie Devil. High water in the Atchafa-
laya always results in heavy deposits of
mud and sand at that point, which the
state has no sufficient means of remov-
ing. The consequence is that, practic-
ally, navigation is already prevented.
However. the police jury should seri-
ously consider the matter proposed by
Capt. King, and decide it one way or
the other.
