The CONDITION OF TRADE
REVIEW BY LEADING CONNER.
CIAL AGENCIES.
Encouraging Reports Continue, Yet
the Undertone Is One Of
Conservatism.

New York, Oct. Pr. G. Dun g.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade reports are more encouraging
each week, while the feeling of op-
timism regarding the future is becom-
Ing general. With it's customary dis
position to discount commercial PROS
perity, Wall street has lifted the aver
age price of the 60 most active railway
shares above par for the first time
since May of last year. Manufacture
ing plants steadily increase output, q
particularly gratifying feature of the
week being the large tonnage of steel
purchased by the railways, and the adj
vanced prices for pig-iron suggest that
the depression in that industry has
run its course. Textile mills are do
ing more work, even the New England
cotton centers reporting less procras-
tination among buyers, which is the
more noteworthy because the new
contracts were placed at time when
the raw material was declining. Ship
yards are more fully engaged. and
structural work begins to assume
normal proportions. Jobbing and
wholesale trade in spring goods makes
better comparison with last years
volume, and current retail distribution
of merchandise is increasing. Pay
ments are still somewhat irregular, yet
there are comparatively few com
plants. Foreign trade at this port for
the last week shows gain of s2,15s,-
275 In imports over those of the same
week in 1903, bu,, a loss of 81, 1925 in
exports.
Failures this week numbered 215
in the United States, against 279 last
year, and 80 in Canada, compared with
rs year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Good feeling. in
some instances closely approaching
optimism, dominates the general trade
situation, but the undertone is withal
one of conservatism, and there is a
general desire to avoid over-tradine.
Past reports Of good wholesale trade
are reflected in an increased SPEEDING
OF the wheels of industry. Collections
have continued to hold the improve
ment noted last week, being especially
good at the south. General 1obbine
demand the country over is most act
i've in staples. such as groceries. shoes
clothing, hardware and similar lines. d
