DuN,s REVIEW.

New York. October 31.-R G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review tomorrow will say:
 Speculation waits upon politics, but the legitimate business is not disturbed by the approaching election. New labor con troversies have been promptly settled by advancing wages and the gradual improvement in supply. of coal has re- duced prices and restored activity in manufacturing. Complaints are increas- ing as to the tardy movement of freight, miles of cars being stalled by the lack of motive power, and many roads refuse to accept further shipments until the blockades are relieved. Lower temper ature has stimulated retail sales of sea- sonable merchandise but frost comes too late to seriously injure a great number of products. Liberal consumption sus- tains quotations in most lines, domestic being supplemented by large exports Operating expenses of the railroads have increased in many cases to such a de- gree that net earnings are somewhat curtaiied but gross earnings for Octo- Der thus far exceed last years by AT per cent and those of 1900 by 13.5 per cent.
 Iron and Steel.
 Undue significance is attached to the announcement that the Prick company will not advance next years price for coke above s. Although this Is in line with other conservative efforts of lead ing interests to prevent inflated prices the probable infuencee on the outside market will not be great as the bulk of output will go to the various plants of the United States steel corporation Meanwhile sales are having been made at s16 in extreme cases and the scarcity has closed more blast furnaces The future course of the iron and steel in-

SUES MANILA PAPER.
Charges General Bell With Attempting to Steal Money.

Manila, October 31.-Libel proceedings have been instituted against the editor and proprietors of Libertas, a Spanish newspaper published in Manila, on ac- count of the publication of an article att tacIing Gen. J. Franklin Bell and his plan of aiding the people of Batangas and Lagiana and of the Island of Min doro. This plan consisted of selling rice and supplying the people with seeds and farming implements, and it resulted in profits amounting to s27OOO gold.
 General Bell has recently been ordered home and Libertas published an article charging General Bell with an attempt to steal this fund and take 1t with him to the United States, but saying that the commission had forced him to sur render the money. Genera Davis trans- mitted to General Bell officially a copy of the Libertas' articre. General Bell responded by denying the charges. Gen eral Davis thereupon transmitted the pa pers to Governor Taft and the prosecut- ing attorney instituted the proceedings against the newspaper.

King Oscars Decision Received.

Washington, October 31.-The full text of the decision of King Oscar acting as arbitrator of the triangular case of the United States, Great Brit ain and Germany, growing out of the acts of sailors in Samoa during the Mataafa rebellion, has reached Wash. ington. As indicated in the cable ad. vices, the decision is adverse to tho contention of the United States and Great Britain that their sailors were properly used to suppress the rebel lion. The judgment is on the one point of responsibility and the arbitra. tor has not yet fixed the amount of the money liabilities.

dustry win be largely influenced by this fuel shortage much business being per manently lost to home producers and prices in some departments already show the effect of disorganized condition.
 Railway needs have not diminished. numerous large orders constantly ap- bearing, while the pressure for locomo- tives is causing large premiums to be of fered. Structural shapes for bridge and ship-building are next in point of UT gent demand. Agreement on the tin plate wage scale may secure a lot of business that now goes out of the country and some reduction in prices is expected. Wire nails are also cheaper but as A rule quotations are well maintained.
 Shoe Business.
 New England shoe manufacturers are receiving additional orders at fully sus- tained quotations and many shops are assured of full operation well into Jar- uary. Supplementary orders for winter goods have decreased. indicating that wants will be supplied when shipments are made and producers are pushing de- liveries In order to take inventories. Leather is in better demand with prices hrmer More interest has been shown in Chicago packed hides at recently reduced prices, but the average of all grades is again lower Conditions at the cotton mills are healthy, a scarcity of goods being general. while there Is, no disposi- ton to force transactions fIt is early Tor supplementary buying of spring woolen goods and fall trade is finished, SC that these divisions of market are quiet Wool is very firm at the leading eastern markets, which are shipping freely to the mills

No Loss of Strength Noted.

For the cruder forms, particularly pig iron rails and bridge and structural ma terial, no loss of strength IS noted. Ihe larger movement of anthracite coal has as yet apparently affected eastern iron furnaces but little, and the scarcity or coke holds down production in the Penn syIvania valleys. The scarcity of pig iron is illustrated by the fact that sales for the middle of next year are being made at $21.75 a ton, while immediate supplies are scarce at $25.00. The accept ance of reduced wages by tin plate mill hands will enable American mills to cap- ture orders for 900 boxes of so-called drawback plates. Steel plates and bridge material have sold freely this week at Pittsburg but Chicago notes quietness and even some hesitation. Hardware is active in nearly all markets. an advance of 25 per cent over last year being noted at Pittsburg. The fixing of the coke price for next year at $3 per ton by the leading interests is regarded as u satisfactory feature, but outside producers will, 1t is certain, ask more.

BUSINESS SHOWS MUCH CONFIDENCE Bradstreet and Dun Make tn-
 Couraging Reports
VOLUME OF ORDERS LARGE
Only Business Which Shows Signs of Hesitation Is Iron and Steel. Finished Products Have
 Accumulated.

New York. October s1.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Confidence in the outlook for next years business is a notable feature in the trade situation. The volume of or ders booked for next springs delivery is large for this season of the year, and is explained partly by the exceptionally good business done in fall and winter account, and the large crop yields of the year, and also by the good position of the winter wheat crop as cold weather approaches. The absence of killing frost at the south has allowed of the matur- ing of a considerable top crop of cotton. This has helped the trade situation there. while acting as a break upon the ten- dency of the price of that staple to ad- vance.
 The demand for wheat has been active on milling account. though the Pacific coast was reported buying at north western markets Flour, though demand is reported less satisfactory, is higher on the week. Cotton goods are unchanged and quite steady. Distribution and the outlook in the dry goods trade generally is very good. A feature is how buyers are taking hold of holiday goods and give orders for spring delivery. Collec- tions are as a whole good, but hesita- tion is still noted at some southwestern markets. The winter wheat crop is all in, and most of 1t is up and growing finely. Southern trade advices are for a fine open fall business and favors the making of a good top crop of cotton. Frosts as yet have been light.
 Cool Weather Needed.
 At the east retail trade needs steady cold weather to stimulate demand but jobbing business feels the effect of the lifting of the coal embargo. Woolen goods, strengthened more by higher cost of raw wool than by current demand are tending up; yarns have already ad- vanced slightly. Spring trade indications are promising. Lumber is selling freely, despite the advanced stage of the season. The movement of anthracite coal Is in creasing and prices have fallen rather faster than expected. Importations of English coal are large. Bituminous coal is less active Eastern shoe buyers ap- pear to have been over conservative and are now rushing in orders, hence jobbers are in turn crowding manufacturers. Spring business Is in good volume and more confidence is shown in the future. Buying of leather Is not very active at eastern markets but good volume or shipments Is going Forward on orders. Western leather markets are quite active Hides and skins show no accumulation
 One industry, in which confidence in next years business has heretofore been marked, shows signs of hesitation. That Is iron and steel, finished products Of which, apparently because of high prices have tended to accumulate. Where price reduction has occurred, however, new business has come in In gratifying vol ume.
