- ", Despite the interruption
Nun IU[k. of Il holiday the week has
lI brought increased activity
in many branches eff business. An en-
eouraging symptom is the decreased com
plant regarding collections. accompanied
by more discounting of bills. Weather
conditions. have been favorable for retail
trade. distribution of merchandise ex-
panding, while there are frequent reports
of larger jobbing fall business than last
year Some caution in selecting goods
owing to high prices is reported mt the
West, but this is chiefly confined TO tex
tiles. Labor disputes decrease, all but
one of the unions having signed the
agreement in thee local building tr-,, 5,
and several other settlements have been
effected through concessions by both
sides" according to r. G, Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade. Continuing,
the report says:
Trade conditions are still uneven. but
the general drift is toward Improvement.
A more assured feeling as to the corn
crop out turn is manifest conditions in
most States having improved since Sept.
/. State fairs and low-rate excursions
have stimulated western distribution,
while good prospects for corn. cotton. rice
and sugar at the South b ave made for
cheerfulness in that sect on. Eastern
trade advices are of less notable activity.
In the West lumber and building mate
rial of all kinds is active and firm. but
Mt the East the resumption of building
operations ft strike-infested cities has not
been sufficient TO keep the markets strong.
Railway earnings in August were 81
per cent larger than last year and 1874
per cent greater than in 1901. Owing to
the lateness of the crops there is little
complaint of traffic congestion.
At the West there is more activity.
Notwithstanding heavy receipts of cattle,
packers are asking fractionally higher
figures for hides Prices of cotton goods
are slow to reflect the reaction in the
raw material, and the demand is not inn
proved. On the contrary, buyers are
encouraged TO delay placing contracts and
mills are not seeking business. In the
jobbing trade large distribution of mer-
ehandise is in progress. this branch of
the industry reporting a profitable sea
son.
Failures this week were 1T2 in the
United States. against 205 last year, and
10 in Canada, compared with 30 year
ago.

May Have to Close.
1t is almost impossible to estimate the
amount Of damage done to the North

Millions Of bushels of wheat which un-
der ordinary circumstances would have
been graded high is so TsSueed in quail

% - cents less bustel IN account Of
the storm. Minneapolis gr-ip men say
that large amount Of the unthrdsned
wheat viii be reduced from first grade
milling grain to little better than feed.
The conditions are such that the mills in
Minneapolis may be facing serious
crisis, for there may be no wheat of
grade for them to grind The elevator
men 10 Minneapolis are seriously dis
turbed over the situation.
