eRAOsT7EET's REVIEW.

New York, October 9.-Bradstreets will say tomorrow of the state of trade:
 Trade conditions are still irregular. Bus mess is of fair volume but not so active as a year ago, partly because of the back ward season, heavy rains interfering with crop movement, and collections; vex- atious labor troubles, past and present, discouraging building operations, and the spread of conservative feeling among buy CTS based upon stock market liquidation and the feeling that high prices of many products will tend if it has not already done so, to automatically check consump ton.
 Many underlying conditions are, how ever, still favorable. First in importance should be reckoned the decidedly better tone of advces from the corn crop, which has developed a larger yield and better quality than was earlier deemed possible. Special inquiry by Bradstreets points to yield of at least 2,250,000,0 900 bushels of a grade generally far superior to that of a year ago. Lower prices for this and other cereals and for cotton, whose yield will be smaller than seemed probable a year ago, seem likely to help our back ward export trade in these products and improve the foreign exchange outlook Collections, too, though backward are improving as the grain and cotton move ments expand. The volume of business doing by the railroads is excellent, though the familiar car shortage trouble is loom

The downward swing in the raw ma terials of industry is, in fact, sig nificant feature.
 The best trade advices come from the southwest, notably at Kansas City and St. Louis from the western sections, such as Nebraska and Iowa, where corn IS turning out better than expected; from the Pacific coast, where trade is still unqual- ifedly good, despite the slowness of new wheat and other crops to move, and from portions of the south, such as the Mis- sssippi valley, where present prices for cotton offer good return for fair yields Heavy rains have interfered with thresh- ing of spring wheat in the northwest ana retarded trade and collections, while the weather at the east has also been un- favorable to trade, reduced at some large cities by impaired buying ability grow ing out of strikes. New York and Phila- adelphia business with dry goods job bers is backward, and supplementary de- , mand for cotton, woolen and knit goods from wholesalers is unsatisfactory. Cen tral western trade reports are spotted. Chicago reports demand from drygoods tapering of. Louisville reports the tobac- co trade unsatisfactory and 100000 hogs- heads of western tobacco in warehouses at Liverpool without offers.

IRON REDUCTION ENDORSED

New York. October 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 There have been no developments of im- portance in the commercial world. As a rule there is more caution in making contracts, especially among manufactur- CTS. Uneasiness regarding the financial situation recedes as the season advances without reducing any monetary pressure in connection with crop moving The proposed reduction in pig iron output has been endorsed by all leading producers, steadying prices just when changes in freight rates started another reduction. Other manufacturing news is favorable except where the raw material markets are unsettled, or labor struggles cause trouble Suspension of an iron plant was attributed to the latter cause and the movement of cotton at New Orleans also suffered because of a strike Trade local ly is quiet; preparations for election, with unreasonable weather having an adverse effect. Wholesale trade is active at Bal timore, a brisk business has been trans acted in fall clothing and the outlook for spring is considered bright Manufactur- CTS are busy at Philadelphia but build ing materials and chemicals are quiet with collections slow in several lines. Trade is brisk at Chicago orders well dis tributed and payments prompt. Railways are not yet severely congested by the crops yet there is some delay in traffic and earnings for September are S.1 per cent larger than last year. Latest re- turns of foreign commerce at this port are unsatisfactory. exports showing a loss of $l1SS, ,646 compared with the same week last year, and imports decreasing g, ,577 124 Bank exchanges at New York for the week were 23.6 per cent smaller than last year, while at other leading cities there was gain of A per cent. Reduced dividends and curtailed produc- tion in the iron and steel industry show that conservatism is increasing, and there is no disposition to disguise the fact that business is not progressing without inter- ruption. Yet there is nothing alarming

From the New York Times.
 The increasing importance of the daily press in the dissemination of scientific news is strikingly illustrated in the case of radium and of radioactive substances generally. It has become matter of absorbing and almost exciting public in- terest. The average man in every civil ized country knows as much about radi- um as do the most advanced physicists, and the daily progress of the investiga- tion Is watched with interest by the we'll informed newspaper reader everywhere.

in the situation, and a few years ago the contracts now in sight would have as- sured full occupation for all plants.
 Prices receded as it became apparent that the industrial boom was interrupted. and 1t is now found desirable to shut down plants not thoroughly equipped. AL ready the effect is felt in the greater urgency to place contracts by concerns that were waiting for the most favorable terms. Railways are seeking much new equipment, giving this branch of the pro- ducts a better tone than other depart- ments, while more bridge contracts are Icing placed. Plates are fairly steady but in bars and sheets there is no ac- tivity. Progress in agricultural sections is closely watched, as a large tonnage of iron and steel is dependent on suc- cess on the farms. Lower freight rates made it feasible to reduce prices of pig iron, particularly at the south but no further concessions are expected owing to the reduction of about 25 per cent in output. Textile manufacturers report no increase in business, and jobbing trade is less active than in the busy weeks immediately preceding. Another sharp fall in raw cotton has not stimulated makers of goods, nor buyers disposed to he any less conservative. A less generally lower level of quotations for the leading farm starles was most encouraging.
 It indicated that supplies were coming freely to market, and testified to the growing confidence in ample crops. Spec ulative control ceased with the market- ing of gree ter quantities than the manip- ulator5 could handle, and legitimate trade always fourishes better when normal in- huences prevail. Lower prices also att tract purchasers abroad and foreign com merce will be stimulated. moderate re- covery late in the week was natural. as fluctuations became sufficiently narrow to bring out many buyers who feared the violent price change of past months
