.DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW
LAST QUARTER OPENS WTH
 BRIGHTER PROSPECTS.
Business Does Not show Heritauon
 Customary During Closing weeks of Presidential Campaign, Especially in South.

New York, Sept. 3o.-R. G. Dun ana Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 The last quarter of 1904 opens with much brighter prospects than prevailed year ago. At that time secuflties had fallen an average of $S4 a snare from the top point year previous ana there was a general disposition to cur tail manufacturing and commercial op- erations because of the heavy losses The nation was entering on period or conservatism augmented by numerous labor controversies. At the present time there are no alarming features' strikes are few and unimportaht wnile the indications of growing confidence are numerous. Business does not show the hesitation customary during the closing weeks of Presidential cam paigns and the prospects of prohtaple agriculture results stimulates trade especially among retailers at the West and South.
 Building operations are expanding. providing a better demand for lumber and materials. Clothing and kindred lines are stimulated by colder weather. Manufacturing plants are decreasing the proportion of idle machinery. The chief complaint coming from cotton mills which suffer from the disparity between prices of raw material and fin- ished product. The movement of wheat is heavy, but retarded by inadequate traffic facilities at some points and railway earnings for September exceed" ed last years by 6.5 per cent. For eign commerce at this port for the last week showed a small decrease in ex- ports and a gain of s2163,435 in im- ports as compared with 1903. Security markets have risen s14 above the cor- responding date last year and money Is easier and abundant. With the excep- tion of steel rails. which are not on Q parity with the rest of the market,prices of iron and steel have apparently att tained position of stability and tardy contracts are gradually coming for- ward. There is also a good inquiry for merchant pipe. list prices being strict 1y observed. Shipbuilders are seeking plates and there is a wholesome movs- ment of machinery and tools.
 Textile manufacturing plants are still operating on reduced time, particularly as to the New England cotton goods division. There is no accumulation of cotton goods but purchasers persist in disregarding future needs conf1ninE business to immediate requirements only. Export trade Is less active. hut 1t served to reduce supplies. Woolen goods are more active. Liberal pur chases of packer hides and calf skins have hardened quotations somewhat in the Western markets. Failures this week numbered 223 in the United States against 226 last year and IS Tn Canada compared with 10 year ago.

Course of Trade Shows Marked In

Course of Trade Shows Marked Im-
 prOvement.
 New York. Sept. 30.-Bradstreet's to . morrow will say: The word improve ment' summarizes briefly the course of trade and general industry this week. Although the movements, as for time past, are along conservative lines, the undertone is rather more optimistic than at any previous time this season Reasons for this are found in the con tinuance of propttious weather condi- tions, a tendency to enlarge final esti- mates of grain crop yields. more activ- ity in pig iron and better collections, based upon enlarged crop movements Confirmation of these reports is found in indicated increases in bank clear ings and in continued gains aggregat- ing 5 per cent in. gross railway earn ings over 1903 Money is on the whole firmer, refiecting belated crop move ment necessities. A striking absence of political agitation as effecting trade is noted and the feeling generally Is that the year will close better than 1t began.
 NotaE:e features are the improve ment in Jobbing trade at nearly all Western points in dry goods, shoes, groceries. millinery, hardware, paints and drugs. Warmer weather tends to retard retail trade somewhat, but on the whole helps crops to mature better than was at one time hoped. Southern trade feels the effect of the rapid move ment Of cotton to market in better job
 
 Eastern trade shows a fairly good tone on a rather better industrial outlook and the reports of better trade coming from the West and South.
 Among the industries the features are the better buying of pig iron and firmer prices tor the furnace product That moderate Improvement has oc- cured in the cruder forms and may cpread to the finished lines Is now very generally conceded. Coal Is rather more active, but bituminous prices are still low and not satisfactory Eastern manufacturers of shoes report good steady orders and larger shipments than of late, but Eastern shipments are $ per cent below last year. Leather Is quiet and curtailment Is still feature, though prices are strong. Hides are very firm

Illness.
 Wetumpka, Sept. 30.-(Special.)- Miss Josie Clifton, who has been very i'll for several weeks, died last night at the home of her brother, J s. Clifton, in East Wetumpka
 Funeral services were conducted at the cemetery this afternoon at o'clock Miss Clifton was an estimable woman and her death, while not unexpected, is a severe blow to her loved ones.
 On Thursday a number of men at work opening a new public road. had rather an unusual experience. The road was to pass through some land be- longing to the Carlton family. The land had been condemned to the amount of $20 assessed. However Bob Carlton took his seat on the line and with a murderous looking shot gun persuaded about seventy y-flve men that they pre- ferred not to begin work on his land.
 As no one was anxious to be shot and Carlton seemed in dead earnest, things were at a standstill until Sheriff W. D.. Robbins went down. arrested Carlton and lodged him in the wetumpka jail. where he will probably remain until the road is opened Carlton and his father, a helpless paralytic. lived to- gether. so an attendant has been sent to stay with the bed ridden man.

Tn n score of Southern cities or towns there are hundreds or long haired youths whose hopes are Keyed 10 the highest hitch of expectancy. At every one of the colleges. nothing has developed to make these long haired youths believe that their football team will not pull down the championship of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- ietic Association.
 One thing is certain. The material in Southern colleges Is better than has been the case for several years. The coaches are largely drawn from the big colleges of the East and have introduced the style of play in the South firmly that has made the East ern colleges so effective on the grid iron The preparatory schools are doing better educational work In the football field and the Southern Inter collegiate Athletic Association is in a decidedly better state of organization than ever before.
 Before many weeks have elapsed. il will in all probability develop thai Alabama and Georgia will take the prominent stand in the football world that they had five years ago. The in- dications are that while heretofore the Tennessee colleges have had g fight among themselves for the place of honor in Southern football. this year they will have to make a fight with two colleges in Alabama and two colleges in Georgia.
 For the past four years. the Georgia and Alabama colleges have been han dicapped by lack of weight and fn some instances by lack of proper coaching
