New York, Oct 25.-R. G. Dun & Co. g
say:
with mills, shops, factories and fur
naces assured of full operation until the
end of the year as a rule, and many
contracts already running far into 1902,
there is no occasion for anxiety regarding
the industrial situation. Jobbers are
still urgently asking prompt deliveries by
manufacturers of staple lines, while
opening transactions in fancy goods. for
the holidays are unusually early, show
ing that dealers anticipate a large trade.
Prices of commodities rule firm and coll
lections are satisfactory, even Southern
payments coming forward promptly now
that the tardy cotton crop has begun TO
move freely
Each week the situation as to iron
and steel becomes more encouraging, or
ders now running to the middle of 1902 in
many finished products. Despite the ex-
tensive addition to productive capacity
last year, there is still much work in
progress or preparation, promising many
new plants ready to start next year. The
feature of the week was the placing OF
cally assuring another record breaking
output In cotton goods the situation Is
disturbed by the action of a large manu-
facturer, who advanced wages five per
cent short time ago, and again this
week announced five per cent rise to go
into effect on November 4th.
More satisfactory prices are received
by domestic wheat growers, last years
hos,,
the largely increased yield just harvested
Smaller crops of other cereals and hay
caused the use of much wheat in fat
tening live stock and with lard more
than two cents above last years prices
and mess pork SO a barrel higher. this
has been a most profitable proceeding.
Cotton lost part of the recent advance,
owing to heavy port receipts and the
fallIre of frost to appear as early as ex-
pected Picking progresses rapidly and
a good yield is almost assured.
Failures for the week numbered in
the United States 24O, against 205 last
year, and 20 in Canada against % last
year"
