DECIDEDLY BETTER.
Business Is Not Confined to

New York Dec. 18.-Dun & Co.'S.
Weekly Review of Trade will say, to-
morrow: business is decidedly better
than at any recent date. and the i'm

in holiday goods, although the best re-

Confidence is increasing in the iron
and steel industry, and the feeling is
becoming general that prices will not
be materially lower, except possibly in
some departments that have not yet
participated in the readJustment.
At last it is possible to chronicle q
substantial advance in quotations for
cotton goods, although the market is
still far below parity with current
prices for the raw material. Purchases
are still restricted to immediate re-

no department of this industry is trade
in position to operate on any but a
limited scale, and contracts for distant
delivery are rare. Buyers refuse to
abandon their conservative position
notwithstanding the curtalment of
output and uncertainty regarding the
future. Exporters are not in the mar
ket at present prices.
There is no Improvement in wooden
goods, the only feature being provided
by new lines Of overcoatings, which are
irregular in prices. Silk goods are
fairly steady. New England shoe shops
have SO many orders for delivery next

will close for the usual two weeks hol-
iday. The regular sample orders for
next fall have been placed and liberal
supplementary spring contracts are eX-
