R. 6. Dun q Co.'s weekly review of

year usually brings SO much OF hest.
fancy in business that tho small shrink
age this year is surprising. Probably
never before have the productive forces
of the country been 80 largely covered
by contracts at this date, inducing
employment and profit far into the
coming year. This results not from
any mere speculative excitement, but
from actual demands for consumption
running far beyond the producing ca.
pacity hereafter, and pushing it to re-
markable expansion. The increase IN
foreign trade has been significant, COM
pared with the increase of $24, 900, 600
In payments through clearinghouse.
For the week the payments have been
20.s per cent larger than last year, and
1871 per cent larger than in 1892.
Demand for cars and other railway
equipment Is enormous, and also Tor
shipping, both lake and ocean. Tin Is
weak at 27Ac, and copper declined to
1870, but lead and spelter. are
stronger.
Wool has advanced further. with
much speculative buying, though most
manufacturers have supplied wants for
the present, and are less disposed to
purchase at prices now averaging
higher than at any time since June ID,
1891.
Wheat has risen Sc, and corn frac.
