PROGRESS SHOWN IN TRADE
Very Encouraging Conditions Are
Apparent in Many Lines.
Reports If Serious Injury to Crops BY
Cold ana Wet Weather Were
Somewhat ExaEGerated.

New York, Sept. 21.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review Of trade says: Business
has made moderate progress during the
past week despite unusual opposition
from the elements. When all other in
dustries are to considerable degree de-
pendent upon agricultural conditions, re-
ports of serious injury 70 crops by cold
and wet weather are not calculated to
stimulate confidence. Subsequent cor
rsctions indicated that the amount Of
damage had been exaggerated as usual
and prospects frightened. The car
shortage is beginning to be felt, espe-
cially in the Pittsburg district, where
sufficient labor cannot be secured for
handling freight. Manufacturing plants
are well occupied as rule, even the tex
tile mills reporting less idle machinery,
and at Chicago there is notable pressure
for implements and hardware. Lumber
is in better demand as structural activity
revives. Payments are seasonably
prompt except where late crops delay
settlements, and the outlook for fall and
winter business contains much that is
encouraging. Railway earnings thus far
reported for September show an average
gain of 1896 over last year.
Failures this week were PIG in the
United States, against 1919 last year, and

l9 In Canada, compared with rs, a year
ago."
Bradstreet's says: Conditions still
display irregularity, but except where
crop and weather developments have
been distinctively unfavorable the ten
dency is still to take a favorable view Of
the general outlook for fall and winter
trade. Heavy rains and killing frosts
northwest and in portions of the west
with drought followed by unseasonably
cool weather and destructive wind and
rain storms along the Atlantic coast have
tended to retard expansion in fall trade
in wide sections of the country. All sec
tions, however, have not been affected
alike. the northwest returning relatively
the poorest reports as to current dis
tributive trade; while the southwest and
Pacific coast and some sections of the
south give excellent reports of business
already booked or in prospect. The out.
look for average crops is still good one.
Nothing in the nature of actual short
ages, such as occurred in 1901, is indi-
Gated and while trade opinion probably
| inclines to the view that the boom is over
In several industries, none the less the be-
lief is maintained that good average
fall and winter trade is in prospect"
