The pusines. situation.

Bradstreet's for Saturday ssys: "An
Improvement alike In tone and in de-
mand is noted In trade circles this
waek, and fall trade may be said TO
have opened actively. While the most
optimistic reports come from the North
west, several large markets in the corn
belt send more cheerful reports, based
partially upon still further improve
inent In crop conditions, but likewise
the result OF the growth Of a feeling
that, while the yields OF most crops
will be smaller than last year, the
prices paid for the same will be hiaher,
and the purchasing power OF the agri-
cultural community as whole will be
little impaired. Advances IN wheat,
corn, oats and hog products support
this VIEW
r. q. Dun & %. q Review says:
1.-THE steel strike has affected prices
extensively, particularly on sales for
immediate delivery. In tin plates the
advance has been greatest, while hoops,
sheet, skelp and billets are sold nc
premiums. Quotations arc too cratic
for accurate record, and In many cases
sales are at private terms, Confidence
is steadily shown by placing of distant
deliveries at regular prices. Con

exports tends to prevent accumulation.
"New England boot and shoe facto-
ries are still actively Engaged and the
stability Of prices remains feature.
New York and Western shops are
equally busy, iobbers complaining Of
slow deliveries. This In the season of
greatest demand for boots, and there is
fair volume OF business, but each
year decrease in output appears.
Leather sells freely, but without
change in price, while slightly lower
bids for hides will probably secure
large lots. Wooden mills have full en-
ployment, as rule, and the increased
consumption Of raw material tends to
harden the tope of the wool market,
although no quotable change is posi-
BILE.
Cotton prospects have materially JIM
proved, and with average weather dur
ing the next few weeks there Is reason
to expect a yield equal to, II not larger,
than the one preceding. Picking will
be about three weeks later than usual.
The high wages and scarcity Of labor
may cause some loss. Financially the
South is in better position than ever
before, planters have mortgagsd less OF
tneir crop thnn usual, and the banks
Will not draw on New York us htayily
