HIGH TIDE OF BUSINESS.
End of the Bituminous Coat Strike
and the Return of Many Thousand
Men TO Work Will Assist in Boom
ing Trade.

New York. Sept. 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
in it's issue tomorrow:
The end of the bituminous coal
strike and the return of many thous-
and men to work at advanced wages
adds to the purchasing power of the
people. and the anthracite strike af-
fects not fifth as many workers. The
starting of many mines and works,
the enormous exports of wheat and
corn, the favorable news as to those
crops and cotton, the fall in sterling
exchange and the report showing that
gold imports began in August exceed
ing exports by S2,390,5S7 while mer-
chandise exports exceeded imports by
$40, ,953, 753, have all contributed to for
ward the improvement in business. The
replenishment of stocks cannot be half
finished, though some who could see
no sign of Improvement a few weeks
ago are now finding it so vast and
rapid that they fear reaction. But con-
sumers as well as dealers have also to
supply themselves after years Of en-
forced economy. When the tide rises
after four years of depression it does
rot fall again after four weeks.
The wheat market has declined over
five cents on account of crop reports,
which promise larger prosperity and
corn and cotton are both a little lower
for like reasons. Atlantic exports of
wheat, flour included, are more than
double last years. From the Pacific
coast, wheat is also moving largely.
Corn decliped over three cents with
growing belief that the yield will sur
pass estimates.
The iron industry again shows in
creasing demand, and an average of
price nearly one per cent. higher, due
tC purchasir7 by consumers. Buying of
100000 tons Bessemer pig at Pittsburg
has advanced the price to Sl0 grey
forge is hard to find there at $915,
and billets sell at Sl5.5O With output
