Trade Conditions.

Give Their Respective Views ON the
Trade Conditions.
New York, Nov. Pr. G. Dun e. Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
1.-THE heavy exports of wheat, with the
renewed advance in price, Is the most in
teresting and important feature of the
weeks events Since August, when the
extent OF the foreign deficiency became
realized, exports have been larger than In
corresponding weeks Of any previous year.
The cotton exports also have become very
heavy, and the outgo Of corn falls but
little below last years unprecedented rec
ords, while in exports Of manufactured
products. especially machinery, all rec
ordS for the season have been surpassed.
While the aggregate from Novmber last
year was over $109,000,000, shipments for
New York for three weeks have been
slightly smaller, with fair prospect that
the increase in cotton and other products
from other ports may make up the def
cheney. Meanwhile imports are running
behind last years at New York-nearly
81, 900 this month-so that another ex-
cess of exports over imports amounting to
about $60,000000 for the month is probable
But this would make an excess Of about
$225. 100000 in four months.
"The iron industry shows no decrease in
production or consumption Of pig. but with
much reduced orders for products excess
OF production is expected, and BeSsemer
falls shade to $1015 and gray forge to
1925 at Pittsburgh though Chicago and
eastern markets show no change Elk
pectation of lower prices tends to produce
them at time when new business is nat
urally small and the mills are working
mostly on old orders with buyers impa-
tient for deliveries. Other large orders are
held back In plates by inability of the
works to deliver in the time desired.
Failures for the week have been 236 in
the United States. against 800 last year. and
Is in Canada, against So last year."
Bradstreet's says:
Notwithstanding the appearance Of a
demand for holiday specialties at some
points In the south. at Chicago, st. Louis
and in regions tributary thereto, general
trade throughout the country has shown
no general improvement this week. Most
favorable reports are from the territory
west Of the Mississippi river and north Of
Missouri and Kansas, where the colder
weather has stimulated demand at the in
terror, and country merchants have been
buying with comparative freedom. The
eastern cotton goods industry continues
depressed. Consumers evidently do not
intend to buy extensively until they be-
ieve the prices of raw cotton are ready to
advance"
