" Review of Trade for last week
fellows:
Commercial failures IN Nass,,
were $50 in number and $l2 3OO az
amount Of liabilities, against 7se ,sa
toter for $9.0O7. 7sl. and $50 in Nos0
only $S.046.S4S. MANUFACTURE.
faults were but 1872 IN numha,
33.883.l65 in amount, the bulk !, -
mortality occurring in thadinp
Germs. Of which GIT failed for s7s%
1853. There were 40 other comma.'..
failures. with liabilities of s91n -.
Four banking and financial comn..'s
defaulted for 1929, 900. At first eisa
the November statement appears w.
unsatisfactory. but it must be remss
bered that few heavy failures in ~
and other textile industries accom-, -
a large share Of the reported liabil,,,s.
Aside from this one branch OF t,.s.
which has naturally suffered hearu'
from the tardy approach Of winter ..
figures show business to be on a ~,
foundation. s
Holiday retail trade starts a. v.u
The week has been characterised I
advances in prices, but the most 4.
nificant is the small rise in boots =,
shoes, which OF all the great indus,,s
has been slowest to conform to the :.
eral improvement. A larger dema.I
for goods for current consumptior !.
the report from nearly all directio,.
The dry goods trade. recovering fa,s
recent liquidation, shows business ar
banding, but irregularlv and slovl,
Cotton goods show the best resu, !,
fine brown sheetings advancing f,o,
6 to = 20; bleached si,ilings from ~
to 1852 and brown sheating from ( !,
5h cents. There Is lio.'s lurtal,mA.
Of output Of cotton gods. but som,
mills which usually run on exmr
trade are diverting machinery to lish
weights for home use. Railroad can
ings from November to date show NJ
cent gain over 1899 and Ill per 70,
over 1898. Good news CONTINUES
come from the iron and steel section
Sales Of pig iron in three weeks h,u|
aggregated 100000 tons at Chicago a.i
idle furnaces are going into blast. ind,
eating much larger capacity now thu,
on November l. Buying of all finishd
forms increases, and some orders N
placed at slightly higher quotation
Railroads are purchasing most liberalb
and machinery is in special demad
AS yet the advance in cotton goods
not at all in proportion to the gain 1
raw material. The wool market is
covering from the shock of heavy fail
ures and sales at three chief eastA,
markets increased about a half milia
pounds for the week, but prices N
somewhat easier, particularly for u
cheaper grades. Abundant estmax
that the cotton crop will not reach ~
100000 bales failed to affect prices, I'd
traders are beginning to appreciate ID
fact that a decrease in consumption
an unavoidable concommittant wild
unusually high quotations.
| Wheat is further from a dollar thaI
at any time since that price was pn
dicted by high authority, and the uss
al rumors Of damage from jointing
fore frost fall as fiat as they have dM
in previous years. An ample corn en-
did not prevent clever manipulau
from securing control OF the avallaN
stocks at Chicago and forcing the pns
up to 81 cents for the current month
delivery. Heavy receipts of cattle
Chicago depressed the price and v
average in this market for live h
fell to $40, against $500 a year u
