COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Retail Trade Generally Improved season.
able Strength In Butter and Cheese
Wool Failures.

New York, Oct. 18.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: With the
settlement Of the great coal strike Of
1902, the most remarkable in some re-
spects of modern record, practically
the only unfavorable feature in gen.
eral trade and industry disappears,
Coincident with this, also, have been
the ending of several minor troubles
of similar nature. While relief to
the public mind is, perhaps, the most
immediate result, it is natural to ex-
pect that present abnormal prices
and conditions in fuel supply will
gradually disappear. Retail trade has
generally improved, stimulated at the
west, northwest and south by cooler
weather, fall festivals and carnivals.
Jobbing demand is also better, par
ticularly at the west.
Seasonable strength is noted in but
ter and cheese and the metals are also
higher. In the general strength Of
farm products the weakness in cotton
is notable. Wool is firm at all east
ern markets, manufacturers are lib
eral buyers, stocks are being pretty
well reduced and holders are inclined
