WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK GROWS
 STEADILY, BRIGHTER.
Crops Almost Beyond Danger, Prices of Securities Higher Than Since May, 1908 and Industries
 Resumfng Work.

New York. Get. 7.--R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 With the crops almost beyond dan ger, prices of securities at the high" est point since May, 1903, and idle and mills that have been closed for months. the business outlook grows steadily brighter. By far the best feature of the situation Is the con- fidence manifested by an increased disposition to provide for future re- quirements. This is by no means gen eral but 1t is noticed at pig iron fur naces, woolen mills and among deal CTS at widely separated points partic- ularly those located in the agricultur- al sections. Mercantile collections are l also more prompt and railway earn ings for the month of September were 3.S per cent larger than in the same month last year, while foneign com merce at this port for the last week shows increases of $1,651.2O1 in i'm ports and $410,74S in exports as com pared with a year ago. Dispatches from the leading cities are almost unanimous in telling of improved con- ditions. For the first time in many months 1t Is possible to report that sellers of pig iron appear to have a slight advantage. They have been able to dictate terms as to delivery in some cases and at the South. where the miners strike is still in progress only part of the orders. were filled. It Is difficult to find evidence of | increased movement in steel although fair tonnage was taken by the rail | roads. Wire mills will not accept con- | tracts for distant delivery on account of a growing belief that better terms will be secured in the near future. Pipe Is quiet and structural shapes are | not eagerly bought but merchant steel Is active. Actual business in fin tshed steel Is still restricted. but the | improvement in sentiment is unmistak- able. Export trade is also promising Coke ovens are resuminE and current movement Is heavy but prices are too low to make long term contracts at- tractive to producers. Soft coal also fels eth stimulus of increased activity at manufacturing plants. Hides have shown unusual activity at a general ly higher level of prices, and the leather market Is also in a better po- sition Footwear factories report a large demand for quick shipment of fall shoes.
 A little better demand appeared in primary markets for cotton goods. but 1t was checked later in the week when manufacturers failed to make con sessions. Duplicate orders for mems wear woolens and worsted are also coming to mills. which are busy mak- ing deliveries on old contracts.
 Failures this week In the United States are 222 against 223 last week and 2S9 the corresponding week last year. Failures In Canada number 25. against IS last week and l7 last year.
