of the fact that their grandmothers and

TRADE REVIEW.
Prospects Brighter Than a Year Ago
-Dun's Report Finds No
Alarming Features.

New York, Oct. 1t. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
''The last quarter of 1904 opens with
much brighter prospects than prevailed
year ago. At that time securities
had fallen an average of $34 share
from the top point a year previous,
and there was general disposition to
curtail manufacturing and commercial
operations because of the heavy losses.
The nation was entering on period
of conservatism, augmented by nu-
merous labor controversies. At the
present time there are no alarming
features. strikes are few and unimpor-
tant, while the indications of growing
confidence are numerous. Business
does not show the hesitation custom
airy during the closing weeks of pres
idential campaign, and the prospect of
profitable agricultural results stimu-
lates trade, especially among retailers
at the west and south. Building opera
tons are expanding, providing better
demand, for lumber and materials
Clothing and kindred lines are stimu-
lated by colder weather and clearance
sales are well attended. Manufacture
ing plants are decreasing the proper
ton Of idle machinery, the chief COM
plant coming from cotton mills, which
suffer from the disparity between
prices of raw material and finished
products.
Failures this week numbered 223 in
the United States against 226 last
year, and IS in Canada compared with
ten a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: The word i'm
provement' summarizes briefly the
course of trade and general industry
this week. Although the movements,
as for time past, are along conserva-
tive lines, the undertone is rather
more optimistic than at any previous
time this season. Reasons for this are
found in the continuance of propitious
weather conditions, a tendency to en-
large final estimates of grain crop
yields, more activity in pig iron and
better collections, based upon enlarged
crop movement. A striking absence
of political agitation as affecting trade
is noted and the feeling generally is
that the year will close better than 1t
began"
