TRADE REVIEW.
General Activity II Apparently Un-
checked BY High Rates De-
msnded for Money.

New York. Sept. 20.--R. G. Dun q
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Domestic trade continues active.
high rates for money having thus
far failed to check industrial oper-
ations or unsettle confidence. Strin-
gcncy is Sconsidered only temporary,
chiefly OF Importance to spectators.
while large imports of gold promise
relief. Crops are making encoursg-
ing progress, despite some injury
from frost. Labor disputes are few,
the anthracite coal strike being the
only one that retards progress, and
each week shows some increase In
OUTPUT. Fall distribution OF mer-
chandise has begun unusually early
while the volume of orders already
placed indicates much the heaviest
aggregate on record. At the south
and west conditions are especially
favorable, shipping departments
working vigorously, and payments
are promptly made. Traffic conges-
tion causes complaint, yet railway
earnings thus far available for Sep
tember show n gain of 40 per cent.
over last years returns and 1877 per
cent. over 1900. Failures for the
week numbered 1919 in the United
States, against 157 last year and rs
in Canada, compared with 20 year
ago"
Bradstreet's says: "Jobbing dis
tribution continues very active and re-
tail business is improving. At the south
the tone is notably cheerful, largely
owing to higher cotton prices
because crop accounts are not
SO favorable as week ago. Col
lections are on the whole good, and
the consensus of reports as to this
and as to money conditions point to
good supplies of the circulating me-
dunn in the country at large. What
ever stringency is noted, a condition
usual at this time, is limited largely
to the employment of money in
speculation. The coal situation
deserves notice. The delay in
the ending of. the anthracite coal
strike throws increased pressure on
the bituminous product, and prices
for that article are now at least one
quarter higher than the low point
before the strike began. Anthracite
production is slowly but surely in
creasing as more mines and miners
go to work, but the necessities OF
some retail buyers make fancy
prices for what is left. A long sea
son at full time will be necessary tt
