WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Some Falling or in Demand, but Trade
Continues to He Good.

Some Falling on in Demand, but Trade
Continues to Be Good.
NEW YORK, Oct. 49, Bradstreets
says: While the general trade move
ment is somewhat irregular, and there
are further evidences of falling off in
demand, the volume Of business contin-
ues of large proportions. Speculation
in wool has ceased, and demand for the
staple is less than for weeks past. Un-
seasonably warm weather has inter-
fered with the movement of heavy
goods at the West, but rain in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Nebraska have improved
the agricultural outlook. Relatively,
the greatest activity in trade is report
ed by Kansas City and Omaha mer.
chants. While quarantine regulations
have been raised in Texas and modified
in Louisiana, business throughout most
Of the Gulf states remains practically at
. standstill Almost all the larger East.
ern cities report q decreased movement
Of merchandise and q tendency Of col.
lections to fail away.
The industrial situation continues to
furnish employment to as many per.
sons as at any preceding period this
year and at higher wages. Production
of iron, steel machinery, stoves, ca,
structural work, glass and wooden goods
continues heavy. Steel mills have or.
ders to carry them into 1898, and de.
cline contracts for next years delivery.
This explains the advance in the price
OF Bessemer pig iron, while the foun.
dry grades remain unchanged. The ex.
trordinarily heavy and steadily increas.
Ing production Of iron Is starting M
furnaces long out Of blast, and although
consumption is heavy, it Is not improb
able that production may outrun it in
the near future, which constitutes IN
unfavorable point in the outlook.
