sEAsoNABLE WEATHER HELPS.
Big November Trade but Step Toward
Something Better.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: 1.-THE most significant thing
this week has been the entire absence of
the customary nervous fright before or
after the meeting of Congress, the Presi-
dents message and the treasurer's report.
No one showed the least alarm, and no.
body could find a reason for any. Money
and stocks and grain markets moved on
exactly as if the Government were auto
matte, certain to do or say no more than
the people had already decided and ex-
pected, and SO the gradual betterment
since October continues. There is larger
demand for products in nearly all the
great industries, larger export demand for
foreign needs, a more healthy domestic
demand since seasonable weather arrived
and a comforting conviction that Novem-
Der business, the biggest ever done in this
country in any month, was but a step to-
ward something Setter. This weeks fail
ures have been 24S in the United States,
against 312 last year, and % in Canada
against 30 last year."
