TRADE OUTLOOK
 IS ENCOURAGING Dun and Bradstreet See Some
 thing in Future DEPRESSION WILL PASS
Favorable Symptoms stIlT Predominate Respite the Adverse Factors of La bor Controversies, Fuel Short
 age and Tight Money.

New York, October 10.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Favorable symptoms still predominate and the business outlook is encouraging despite the adverse factors of labor con troversies. fuel shortage and tight money. That the drawbacks have not seriously checked industrial progress testiies to the strong position attained during the recent months of uninterrupted activity and growing confidence. Manufacturing plants dependent upon steam for motive power are finding profits curtailed by the high prices of fuel, and unless nor nal conditions are soon restored it will be necessary to secure better quotations for products The problem of adequate transportation is also disturbing, as there is already congestion in the coke region. When anthracite coal mining is resumed and grain shipments attain expected di- mensions the railroads will find great difficulty in meeting all requirements
 Railway earnings in September were 9.4 per cent larger than last year. Dun's index number of commodity prices pro- portioned to consumption was $l00,64S on October l. an advance of Al per cent compared with the position of Septem- Der 1. It is certain that all records of pig iron production would be far sur passed if coke could be obtained even at the exceptionally high prices now pre- vailing. Hence reports of active furnaces measure the available supply of coke rather than the demand for pig iron I'm ports continue on liberal scale, although new rulings as to tariff rates checked ar rivals of steel billets. Railway equip ment is still the more active feature or the market High premiums are offered for locomotives, but works have their books filled well into next year. Last weeks reduction in prices Of sheets ana wire has not been followed by any weak ness in any branches of the trade.
 Shipments of footwear from eastern shops continue on large scale Hides are dull and weaker.
 Cotton mills in New England are pre- paring to shut down on account oI the fuel shortage and the market for soods is strong because supplies are alreaay limited. Jobbing sales are fully up to the average for the season and coilectlohs are satisfactory. but uncertainty as to the future tends to restrict undertakings. Conclusion of the opening purchases or woolens has brought a quiet market Tor spring weights, and there is only moder- ate demand for heavy goods for quick de- livery. Complaints are still heard as 10 the delay in movement of sample pieces.
