MANY HELPFUL FEATURES
CoNsPIRE TO PROMOTE STEADY
EXPANSION OF TRADE.
Less Idle Machinery Than for Some
Time Past-Collections Less
Tard1ly Met.

New York, Sept, 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Trade expands steadily as confidence
increases with the harvesting Of the
crops, and mercantile collsctions are
less tardily met Lower temperature
stimulates the demand for fall and
winter wearing apparel, and there is
more disposition to prepare Tor the fu-
ture rather than to confne operations
within the limit Of immediate require
ments. This improvement is extend
Ing to all departments of manufacture,
and In the aggregate there is less idle
machinery than at any recent date
Settlements of labor disputes have
helped in the development of this ia
vorable condition. Railway earnings
for September were 81 per cent larger
than year ago. and foreign commerce
at this port for the last week shows Q
gain Of $2,945,6S7 in exports, az COM
pared with 1903. although imports de-
creased $713,670.
Failures this week aggregated 225
In the United States, against 232 last
year, and 80 in Canada, compared with
10 a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Cool weather,
while retarding or injuring some late
crops, has been stimulating to fall
trade, both wholesale and retail, which
shows an apparent increase in volume
over a year ago. The improvement is
most marked in dry goods, clothing,
groceries, shoes and hardware. Dis
tributive trade is better in the north
west, portions Of the east, and very
generally throughout the south. The
central west also shows a continuance
OF the improvement noted last week,
and widespread moderate betterment
in collections is feature deserving
special mention. A disposition is
shown on the part Of farmers to hold
their products for better prices, this
being true in many sections, notably
the south and the northwest. The la
Dor situation is rather quiet on the
whole, although some notably large
strikes continue unsettled. Among the
Industries some Improvement is to be
noted in the cruder forms Of iron;
buying of pig iron is rather better,
particularly in portions of the west,
but finished products fail to respond
literally to recent price reductions.
