pun's Review.

New York, Nov. 26.--R. g. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade today
says:
Retailing and jobbing trade was re-
tarded by unreasonable mild weather
and the interruption of another holt
day but manufacturers extend opera,
lions as confidence is strengthened by
the receipt Of larger contracts for fu
ture delivery, and many inquiries that
promise to mature in something more
tangible. Postponed orders of all
kinds are being placed, reports from
every prominent industry indicating
that idle mills are reopening and the
number of operatives gradually in
creasing.
Footwear and practically all branches
of the iron and steel industry are gain
ing steadily. Railway returns for NO
vember thus far show a gain OF 3 per
cent over last years gross earnings.
Foreign trade at this port for the last
week exceeds that of a year ago by w.
432,364 in value Of merchandise exports
and 81 ,539,309 in imports.
Failures this week numbered 200 IN
the United States against 25S last year,
and in Canada thirty mine with four
teen a year ago.

Poor In Quality and Sold
at Low Prices
CHOICE BEEvEs ARE IN DEMAND
There Is Apparently Scarcity of Best
Grades of Steers All Over the coun-
try-Hogs In Active Demand Today
at Cents Higher Prices-sheep
Unchanged.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Cattle-Most Of
today's receipts were poor in quality
and sold at low prices. The close of
the week finds the choice OF beeves at
best prices seen this year, there being
a scarcity turnout the country of such
stock, but the poorer Kinds are as low
as ever.
Only a comparatively small number
of cattle will likely find very ready
sale here next week, and traders are
advising conservative marketing of
cattle in the near future. The big
squirt in prices here "Wednesday was
due to suddenly appearing urgent de-
mand, which has since subsidized, and
the ebb of the tide has swept away
the gain In values then noted on some
Of the plain and medium grade steers,

late last week, while the strictly good

Hogs.
There was an active demand ana
prices averaged 5 higher. Pigs were
scarce and in good demand. AS COM
pared with week ago, prices are
about the same.
Sheep
Prices were unchanged with a fair
demand. Lambs were salable at 400
OATS for culls, up to 6.O0@6.2O for the
best.
