TRADE REVIEW.
Reports from Various Sections WIN
Reference to the Prospects Are
ON the Whole Encouraging.

New York, Oct 5-Bradstreet week.
ly review of trade says: Mixed trade
and crop conditions still present them
selves, although some improvement In
tone is noted where crop estimates, as
in the case of corn, show expansion.
Lower prices for cereals point the way
to future large business and induce
larger foreign interest in our farm pro-
ducts. Trade reports vary with sections
considered, the best reports coming
from the southwest, the northwest and
the Pacific coast. Spotted trade reports
come from sections of the middle west.
From the south the reports are IN the
main favorable as to trade and collec-
lions, but crop deterioration is wide
spread, except from the lower Missis-
slppi valley. Falling prices for cotton,
though a hopeful sign for our export
trade and domestic manufacturers, do
not excite lively satisfaction among pro-
ducers. Among the great industries
iron and steel show the effect Of threat
ened over-production In proposals for
20 per cent. reduction of Northern fur
mace output, rumors of like action by
southern producers and quiet demand
for finished products"
