REVIEW OF TRADE.
Bradstree s W" kly Report On the Con-
ditiohs of Business.

Oh business.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Bradstreet
says:
Trade activity is widespread all mea-
sures of volume and value testifying to
prevailing prosperous conditions. Rail-
way earnings, bank clearings, returns
and quotations of staple prices are all
encouraging, pointing as they do to a
maximum volume of business for this
period of the year Crop returns for
October bear out earlier impressions of
shortened yields of most leading agrl-
cultural products. Expectation Of more
moderate yields of leading cereals,
however, is not confined to this coun-
try. The worlds wheat crop will ad-
mittedly be smaller and rye, barley and
oats yield are not expected to be so
large as year ago. The higher range
of prices of all staples and particularly
of agricultural products, will furnish
a profitable balance to producers. The
advance in the price of cotton has been
a notable one and the effects upon gen.
eral Southern trade and industry are
particularly beneficial as this section
alone has appeared to lag somewhat be-
hind the procession of prosperity. War
rumors and realizing of speculative
profits have furnished additionally de-
pressing features in this respect but
it is to be noted that in the manufac-
turing branch of the trade strength is
well nigh universal.
Business failures in the United States
numbered l64, as compared with 146 last
week, 2S3 in this week a year ago, 1876
in 1897, 279 in 1896 and 2S9 in 1895.
