HOLIDAY TRADE

New York, November 14-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Lower prices for railroad stocks than at any time since last March do not nec- essarily indicate loss of traffic, or a set back in business. On the other hand, CO., incident with the collapse of the stock market there were numerous evidences that manufacturing transportating in- terests have not sufficient facilities to meet demands, although plants and equipments are now of greater efficiency than at any previous time Distribution of merchandise is fully maintained, preparations being made for a heavy holi- day trade and frequent complaints of tardy deliveries are brought because of unprecedented harvests. Threatened la bor controversies have been averted in some cases, wages being advanced, while a number of increases were voluntarily given. Railway earnings continue to ad- vance the first week of November show ing a rise of AS per cent over 1901, and 15.2 per cent over 1900.
  in seasonable goods. Aside from the ex- pected decline In prices of pipes and tubes there has been no evidence of weakness and all the recent concessions were caus- ed by competition of new plants, rather than diminished business. Many purchas- CTS are delaying orders, however. in the hope that the market will go lower In other departments, but there is abnormal support In the light movement of coke. Rail mills are fully booked up to next September and Canadian road placed large order In Germany, while structural shapes are in great request especially for bridges.
 Eastern manufacturers of footwear are offering no inducements to buyers and while no actual advances In prices have occurred the market is decidedly strong. Western shops are also busy, deliveries in both sections coming so slowly as to cause much complaint. Sole leather Is active and firm, both domestic and export sales being large. Limited supplies in first hand. Jobbers have sustained cotton goods, despite the sharp decline in the raw material. Export trade is dull, Chin ese business showing the effect of the break in silver. It Is between seasons in the market for woolen goods, though there is some inquiry for heavy-weights for quick delivery. Clothing manufact- urers report encouraging results in their first test of the market on spring gar ments.
 Failures for the week numbered 24 in the United States against 215 last year and "A in Canada compared with 27 year ago.

RRApsTaEET,s REVIEW.

New York, November 14-Bradstreets 8 tomorrow will say: Trade industry and transportation continue active, despite drawbacks caused by warm weather. scarcity of fuel and car and motive power shortage. Cold weather is needed to stim- ulate consumption of heavy winter goods from retailers hands, whatever complaint there Is heard regarding col lections being attributed 10 this cause Activity with jobbers has, owing to the advanced stage of the season, been trans ferred from regular staple lines to holi- day goods. These latter are In excep- tionally strong demand. More than usual activity is noted In spring goods, which are being ordered more freely than in average years. This is taken to indicate widespread confidence in prosperous con- ditions next year. Little or no improve ment Is noted in the fuel situation, which particularly affects steel and iron manu- lecturers, many of whom are reported discouraged by their inability to fill or ders now on their books. Telegrams to Bradstreets indicate that the movement of wire goods Is retarded by warm weather. In the northwest, at the south, In the central west and at the east, the temperature has as yet not become slow enough to stimulate final distribution. Collections, except where aHecLeu Dy weather conditions, remain exceptionally good. Furniture manufacturers are re- ported unable to keep up with orders, and hardware jobbers have all they can attend to. At the south, except in Texas, warm weather has allowed cotton to ger minate and be picked, thus enlarging the aggregate outturn of the crop materially. At east tern centers jobbing business has naturally quieted somewhat. Cotton goods are firm, despite the slight weak ness in the raw product, while woolen goods are quiet.
 The lumber trade is active, notwith- standing the advanced stage of the sea- son and the only complaint is to back ward deliveries. Other building materials are quite active. The boot and shoe business Is in good shape. Leather is being closely sold up and grmly held Al eastern markets shipments are smaller than of late and the tendency to decrease Is more noticeable. Sharp difficulties are noted in the iron and steel trade as the cruder and highly finished forms are hard to procure. Small lots of Bessemer pig obtainable for prompt delivery bring as high as $24 per ton at valley furnaces. while for next years delivery $2l.50 Is paid, an advance of $5 per ton over a year ago. Structural material mills are very active, being sold five or six months ahead. and the country's rail production
