Dun's Trade Review.

New York, September 16.-R- G..
Dun & Company's weekly review of
trade tomorrow will say:
Industrial and commercial progress
is slow. put none the less definite.
Low temperatures and some injury to
crops provided the only adverse in
fiuence of the week and this has little
effect upon manufacturers and trad
ers who have started to prepare for
increased business. Buyers of dry
goods, clothing ' and millinery are
notably active in placing orders, and
other staple lines also follow the eff
feet of gradually expanding conf
dence. Even if the official crop esti-
mates of September 1 have to be
moderately reduced because of bad
weather. since hat date. there is full
compensation to growers in the en-
HANGED prices, and the strength of Sc
curities indicates the faith OF the fl
nancial world. Many mills and fur
naces have resumed because Of new
orders or adjustment OF wage scales,
and prices are steadier in most of the
cases, with a general advance in foot
wear~
Evidence that buyers are becoming
apprehensive regarding the scarcity
of cotton goods tends to encourage
the feeling that the mills will soon be
called upon for liberal shipments. Yet
the present condition of this industry
is no stronger.
Failures this week amounted to
224 in the United States, against 219
last year.

or some convention business from
up the state and arose hastily and
went to the lower deck. He looked
all around for the telephone booth
and hurried from one n of the boat
to the other. Then he asked one or
two passengers where the telephone
was. 1t was not until they had look

The vessel stands very high out Of

her bits during the recent heavy wind
il was thought safer to moor her along
side a wharf during this season of the
year. 1t would not be safe to send
her outside of the harbor to discharge
mud ballast She would be too light
and a heavy gale which is likely to
spring up at any time during the pres
ent season of the year might capsize
the vessel or drive her onto the reef,
The Waikiki end of the wharf where
the vessel will lie, has been fenced off
and nobody will be permitted to go on
that part of the wharf. The vessel
will probably remain here for month
or two before getting sugar for Della
