As it Fires Up One Another

SOME STRIKES SETTLED
Others Are Ordered and the Outlook is For
the Closing of Number Of Mills
Thousands of Workers in
Copper Idle.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct 30.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade tomorrow will
say:
industrial activity has increased some
what many plants resuming and others
preparing to reopen on Monday. Sew
eral pending labor controversies have
reached amicable adjustment, adding to
the aggregate of wage earners employed
On the other hand. strikes are ordered
and some mills will be closed by lack of
new business, while the struggle for con-
troll of the copper properties has thrown
thousands out of work. While there is
evidence of a setback in the steel indus
try, and some hesitation in textiles at
the East, the general tenor of these re-
ports is encourag ging for a continuance
of prosperity, particularly in the sections
where agriculture is the chief occupation.
Collections are causing some uneasiness,
and financial conditions are unsettled
Merchandise is freely distributed, and
railway earnings for October thus fac
surpass last years by SO per cent and
those of 1901 by 1874 per cent.
Purchases of iron and steel products
are still restricted to immediate require
ments as rule, although the decline IN
quotations appears checked
Some increased interest is noted in struc
tural material for office buildings, ware
houses and bridges, but orders are insig-
nificant when compared with last years
business in this line.
For the first time this season it is pos
sible to record distinctly better tone
in the market for cotton goods Print
cloths are frmer, occasional small aa
vances being quilted. and the market fer
staple and fancy prints is strengthened
by the paucity of supplies.
Failures this week were 253. against
233 last year.

New York, Oct. 30.-This years cotton

it equals. that of last year, which was

port to be issued tomorrow by Brad

ITO the leading question as to the prob
able yield this year as compared with

ing to yield below that of 1902 is not
able. Two States-Alabama and Louis

ducticn. Texas shows much diversity of
opinion. the net result being a crop about

smaller reductions in North Carolina,
Georgia, Arkansas and Florida. Three
fourth OF the questions point to the belief
that 10 top crop worth mentioning will
be gathered, but the answers as to the
question of grading and staple show it to
be better as a whole than last year. AL
though the general concensus of opinion
is that the crop will be smaller than year
ago, it is pointed out that the higher price
ruling, the advance on last year being
1@1Ac., makes the crop, potentially as
valuable in money way, as a year ago.
Making all allowances for under-estma-
ton the report as a whole points to yie'd
in bales no larger, if, indeed, it quite
equals, that of last year, which saw com
mercial crop of 10, 727 900 bales marketed. -
