TRADE OUTLOOK Is ROSY.
So Much Doing That transportation Fa-
cIIitIes Are Lacking.

New York, Oct 5.-R. t.. Dun &,
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade channels are remarkably free
from obstruction, although, the move
ment Of goods at some points is
checked by insufficient transporting IA
cilities. This is a tribute 10 the un-
usually heavy shipments which are
shown more definitely by railway earn
ings in September. 90 per cent. larger
than last year. Manufacturing is of
such vigor that few wheels are idle.
Foreign trade is heavy. Nothing new
has developed in regard TO the iron
and steel situation, and with the mills
crowded in their efforts to overtake
consumptive demand there is little
prospect Of any material change in the
market for some time.
Contracts for an enormous quantity
Of steel rails deliverable next year at
current quotations indicate the general
confidence in the stability of prices.
Steadiness is still the feature in tex
tile markets. Wool comes forward free
ly and supplies are ample. Supplement
tary orders for winter footwear made
the situation rather more satisfactory
than producers anticipated while job
bers are unable to- secure goods to till

to the highest prices OF the year. Sta
pie products have declined moderately
