BRADSTREETvS AND DUN & CO.'S
WEEKLY REVIEWS OF COM
MERGE AND FINANCE.
An increase IN retail TRADE
Cold Weather Has Helped That Line.
Many Manufacturers Are Crowd
ed With Orders-Consumption
of Pig Iron Tremendous.

New York, Nov. 19.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
All markets and all industries are
working towards the period of Thanks
giving, of stock taking and Of holidays.
Colder weather has done much to accel-
serate retail trade, so greatly delayed in
many lines by unusually mild and open
weather. The producing force increases
son the whole, and many manufacturers
are unable to take all the orders Of
fered, while others are committed as far
ahead as they are willing to be. The
output in several great Industries is con-
siderably the largest every known, and
The confidence of great business next
year is undated. Hesitation in specu-
lative markets is in part because an i'm
mense capital has been turned from them
to investment in productive interests.
Wheat has advanced a cent during the
week, and small fluctuations have been
due to reports about Argentine rather
than to the heaviest reports ever known.
Atlantic exports. -four included, have
been in the three weeks OF November
9,799,359 bushels against 6,0S1 .105 last
year and in the corresponding year thus
far over 100000 bushels, while the
western receipts have been in three
weeks p, 213,0OO bushels against IA, 1885,
600 last year. Corn exports have been
7,010,014 bushels against GAL ,558
bushels last year.
Cotton declined to 5.S1c, with heavy re-
'ceipts, but closed at 5.87c, with better
foreign demand and with frosts, which
have lessened the prospect of heavy
changed but slightly in price, with wire
nails and rods n shade lower, while the
consumption of pig is the largest ever
known, works in some branches receiving
orders equal to their output, while others
have orders SO far ahead that they are
unable or unwilling to take more.
Tin is sustained by large consumption.
Lead is little lower, at 1913. and
break in spelter has reduced the price
mt Pittsburg to $4 .05.
The wooden market is embarrassed by
the delay of winter weather, which re-
tards orders from clothiers, although
most works have enough for some time
ahead, and while cold weather and
active retail weather would quickly
bring a change, prices of wool are 80
high that some mills have stopped part
of their looms. Cases are mentioned of
mills which could realize a profit of
100000 to 100000 by selling the wool
they hold, but can expect none by manu-
featuring at current prices. Wool mar
kets have become stagnant, and sales are
for the most part wholly to realize specu-
lative profits, amounting at the three
principal markets to only 4,213,OOO
pounds for the week.
Cotton goods continue weak, and wooden
goods are rather lower
Failures for the week were 267 in
the United States against 1874 last year
and 80 in Canada against 40 last year.

MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Conditions Favorable and

Products Doing Well.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, April 27.-The
Missouri weekly crop bulletin issued
from the Weather bureau here to-day
SAYS:
Throughout the central portions of
the state the temperature during the
past week averaged from 3 to ) de-
grees above the normal. but in the
northern and southern portions the
excess vas slight. Frosts occurred IN
some of the northern counties, but
little damage is reported. Over that
portion of the state south of the Mis-
souri, River, and also in a few of the
northeastern counties, the rainfall up
to the evening of the 9th was gener-
ally light. and grass, wheat and oats
were beginning to suffer for rain in
some of the southwestern counties. but
late reports indicate that good show
ers fell in those sections during Sat
urday night and Sunday morning.
In the northern sections the rainfall
for the week ranged from | to3 inches.
and in a few of the northwestern
counties exceeded , inches. In the
northern portion of the state the per-
centage of sunshine was about the
seasOnable average, but in the north
ern sections it was deficient. Through
Out most of the central and southern
counties the conditions were favorable
for farm work. and good progress has
been made.
Wheat has improved considerably
during the week, and in some local.
ties is coming ont much better than
was expected Oats are generally
coming on well. though somewhat 70
tarded by cool nights. Grasses are
making Il good growth, as IL rule. and
stock are doing we'll in pasture. The
prospect for fruit Of all kinds contin-
uaS good in nearly all counties. In
the aOOded area il the southeastern
portion of the state the water is re-
ported as falling rapidly.

JeAerson, Saakson and Benton Were feR
. Gold sssadArd.
jefferson, in 1883, wrote: Just
principles will lead us to isregard legal
proportion altogether, to inquire into
Che market price Of gold in the several
countries with which we shall princi-
paIly be connected in commerce. and to
take an average from them. I very
much doubt a right now to change the
value, and especially to lessen it"
The house committee In 1921, report
ed: ut Is sufficient to know, by un-
happy experience, that its (ratio of IF
teen to ne) tendency is to rid US of q
gold currency and leave US nothing but
silver"
The house committee in 1884, report
ed: The ~desideratum in the monetary
system is a standard Of uniform value.
We cannot ascertain that both metals
have ever circulated simultaneously,
concurrently and indiscriminntely in
any country where there ar banks or
money dealers, and We entertain the
conviction that the nearest approach to
an invariable standard is its establish
ment in one metal, which metal shall
compose exclusively the currency for
large payments"
Andrew Jackson, in 1886, wrote:
"There is no fraud in gold. It is un-
changeable and will do its Office every
where and at all times. Labor imparts
an invariable value to it."
Benton, in 1884, said in debate: ut
(gold) has an intrinsic value, which
gives it currency all over the world to
the full amount of that value without
regard to law or circumstances It has
q uniformity of value which makes 1t
the safest standard of value of property
which the wisdom of man has yet dis
covered. Its superiority over adj other
money gives its possessor the choice
and command of all other money"
F&eswing this debate the act called
the administration gold BILL" in
tended to put the country on a single
gold standard, was passed, AS to Sc in
the house and 35 to Z in the senate, and
signed by Andrew Jackson, president.
The house committee, in 1853, report
ed: Gold is the only standard of value
by which oil property is now measured.
1t is virtually the only currency of the
country. We desire to have the standard
currency to consist of gold only, and
that these silver coins shall be entirely
subservient to it, and that they shall be
used rather as tokens than as standard
coins"

The question will never be settled
until you determine the simple ques-
ton whether the laboring man is en-
titled to a gold dollar if he earns it, or
whether you are going to cheat him
with something else. That is the upshot
of the whole thing. = + = There have
been a great many battle fought against
gold, and gold has woH every time. l
do not care how much you discuss it or
how many resolutions you pass, they do
not make any difference. You must
come to the sane conclusion that all
other people have-that gold is recog-
nized as the universal standard of value.
1t is the measure by which your wealth
must be tested. 1t has been and aIgays
will be the tombstone of measurement,
and when you depart from that ana try
to figure up any other measure which
the world does not recognize you get
into confusion. Attempting to reconcile
them. it is idle TO t2lk about. 1t IS :E''r
to talk about compromising on any
other measure of value. The world VII

US try to make them believe by soma

give them something of real value-we
can give them a measure of value that
