TRADE CONDITIONS.
En- ormOus Railway Earnings and
Great Scarcity of Cars.

Enormous Railway Earnings and
Great Scarcity of Cars.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
A few months ago injury to the corn
crop aroused fears that the railroads
would be seriously Handicapped by the
loss of tonnage. vet the season of grain
traffic has not only failed to produce
decrt9sed earnings but there is such
scarcity Of rolling stock and motive
power that numerous industries are
badly demoralized. In so far as these
interests are concerned the reduction
In corn freight proves blessing. Rail
way earnings In October We're 11.3 per
cent greater than last year and 21.2 per
cent over 1899, while those roads re-
porting for the first week Of November
show an average gain of 9S per cent.
A healthy demand is reported
throughout the country in all leading
lines of merchandise, while sales III
winter goods have attained normal pro.
portions, and holiday business promises
to surpass all records. In manutac-
turing there was never before such
well sustained activity, with contracts
running past the middle Of next year.
This is especially true in the case Of
steel rails and many other products Of
iron, while in building felt, footwear
and most textile branches there is lit-
tie prospect of idleness.
An official report of the lowest aver
age yield Of corn per acre was calcu-
lated to strengthen prices. but the phe-
nonIenal quotations already prevailing
would seem to fully discount govern.
