n. G.. Dun & 20. Report Crop Situa-
ton Very Good.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
While some contraction in trade and
industry has undoubtedly taken place,
it is not in proportion to the reduction
of 20 per cent In pig iron output or the
reaction in prices of securities, al
though In normal years these have usu-
ally proved fairly reliable barometers.
From the top point last year the sixty
leading railway shares have fallen al
most a third in market value, and the
Industrial stocks have lost more than
that percentage, the leading metal prop
critics touching new low records this
week. Many branches of manufacture,
however, are working full force, with
large orders still untitled, while the
latest returns Of the crops are most
encouraging.
Following the encouraging official
crop report there was some weakness
in quotations, but net changes for the
week were small, and the better export
demand had a good influence on prices.
Failures this week numbered 20S In
the United States against POO last year
and in Canada % compared with "a a
