BRADsTREET's REVIEW.
Reports from the business World
Nearly All of a Favorable Tenor.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Satisfactory trade and
price conditions apparently still reign. So
few, in fact, are the reports Of poor trade

almost unanimous. An expanded volume OF
fall trade is indicated by the aggregate of
bank clearings for the week, though reports
from some markets point to the greatest
rush being over. Prices as a rule maintain
all their former strength. decreases being
few and relatively unimportant. In several
lines. notably the cereals. cotton. petroleum.
iron and steel. the tendency is favorably
toward higher levels. Cotton has been not
ably strong and active. Short crop esti-
mates are becoming more generally current,
and bearish estimates OF maximum yields
have been practically discarded. more es-
pecially as 1t is claimed that agents OF En-
glish spinners are heavy buyers az the
South. Steady demand for export and
confidence In all OF the years crop being
needed have proved stimulating in the face
Of heavy receipts and admittedly large pres
ent supplies. Possibility OF war in the
Transvaal, too. has been an additionally
strengthening feature.
Iron and steel are higher on a moderate
volume OF new business, and the steady
placing OF orders indicates confidence IN
present values well on into the middle OF
next year. Pig iron. however. is nearer
a parity with consumption. The ultimate
effects of enhanced quotations upon demand

The upper Aver house, so called, own
ed by the Consolidated Ice Company, was
blown down last fall, and stack of about
the same capacity, 49, 900 tons, will prob
ably be erected in its place. 1t is also
likely that other stacks will be erected
along the river, so that if the prospect is
favorable a much larger crop can be har-
vested than could be contained in the per
manent houses.
The ice industry gives employment to
about 1000 men and 300 horses in the
harvesting season, and to about 400 men
in the shipping season. Much of the Pc
nobscot crop, it is expected, will i'll future
be shipped to Cuba and Porto Rico.
