of an Industrial bureau,

PAST WEEK ENCOURAGING.
Dunn & Co, Size Up the Business
Situation.


New York, Sept. 10.-R: G.. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade
today, says:
Holiday influence is calculated to
check distribution of merchandise, but
the past week has brought more en-
curaging results in the business world,
and from many points comes reports
of steadily expanding trade, while it
is not exceptional to find comparisons
with the corresponding week last year
favorable to 1904. Retail trade in fall
lines of dry goods, millinery and nearly
all wearing apparel shows a healthy
growth, and for hardware, household
utensils and kindred lines, there is a
broader demand. The best development
of the week was the resumption of
work in many industries that have suf-
fered thru strikes, while several serious
controversies were averted. Crop pro-
gress lis better than the average and
high prices promise to give profits to
the farmers Railway earnings are
heavy.
Signs of better conditions in the
leading manufacturing industries null
tiply as the season advances, and the
actual amount of business in sight
has increased very materially, despite
the indisposition of the railways to
place orders freely for rolling stock,
rails ard other equipment.

MARKETS ENLARGED
Weeks Reports Show That the
Industrial Situation Is Be-
coming Less Strained
FAIRLY ACTIVE TRADE in SIGHT
No Record Breaking Returns Looked
For In General Business or in Crop
outturn, However-crop Progress
For the Week Better Than the Aver
ase-GeneraI Outlook.

New York, Sept. 10.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade, crop and Industrial develop
ments have been generally favorable
this week.
Distribution on fall and winter trade
account has enlarged most markets, the
corn crop has progressed another week
toward final maturity, which, however,
this year is later than usual and sew
eral industries lately greatly depressed
or operating on short time, have re-
sumed running full time. The indus
trial situation is slightly less strained
than it was, and the beef strike is now
ended. In iron and steel, past and pros
pective price reductions have encour-
aged inquiry, consumption has finally
overt;lken production, and stocks of
crude material are smaller.
With the beginning of the crop
movement have come improved collec-
tons and better railway earnings re-
turns. August results point to a per
cent increase in gross receipts over a
year ago. All in all, the prospects con-
sAAAAS Aee'oi e'piS AoA a. ldllA dSl1NS IleloC
in most lines but nothing in the way
of record breaking is looked for in gem
eral business or in crop outturn.
There is a larger movement of shoes
from eastern points, more demand for
leather, and some scarcity developing,
owing to the curtailment by the tam
ners.
Eastern print cloth manufacturers are
not pushing business at present prices.
The wooden goods trade is not active as
might be wished, but raw wool is firm
ly held and confidence in the statistical
position of that commodity is univer-
sal.
The stubborn strength of prices is
perhaps the most notable feature in
the entire situation. In iron and steel
the features are the announced redcc-
tions made in steel plates, structural
materials and wrought pipe, and the
decreases in wire and nails.
Wheat, including -four exports for the
week ending September 8. aggregate
1,995,621 bushels, against 3,045,040 this
week last year. From July 60 date
the exports aggregate 14,460 2SS bush
els, against 1,255, 1913 bushels last year.
Corn exports for the week aggregate
446,231 bushels, against S44,41S Il year
ago. From July to date thsy aggrc-
gate $3.50, liz bushels. against 10, 10000
in 1908.

ONIONS TO CUBA
Shippers at Davenport Are Sending
Several Carloads Weekly Destined
for the West Indies-crop Rather
Short This Year.

Special to Times-Republican.
Davenport, Sept. 10.-This years
onion crop in Scott county, while very
fine in quality has been somewhat
behind the usual yield according to the
we'll known local commission man. He
states that the onions raised in this
vicinity have been Of good grade
thruout, but that for the last two or
three years the output has been con-
siderably more than this year.
Just at present the onions are COM
ing in daily by the wagon load and any
morning crowd of men can be seen
along Perry street unloading and
sacking the tubers for shipment
Scott county is a famous onion CEN
ter and the vegetables raised here go
all over the country and not only that
but they go to Cuba in immense guam
titles.
Ever since the Spanish-Arnerican
war the local commission men have
been shipping onions to, that island for
consumption and at present one or two
carloads leave this city for the nearest
southern shipping port every week.
Most of the onions are shipped from
Galveston Texas, and the shippers are
notified when boat is to leave in ad-
vance, so that they can have their Ship
ments on hand when the freighters
sail for the West Indies. The local
shippers have a great many things to
contend with in shipping onions as
far away as Cuba and they are COM
PEELED to meet many difficulties not ex-
perienced by the eastern shippers.
They are constantly having trouble
with the railroads over rates and fire.
uuently are compelled to pay more for
the onions than the eastern shippers so
that the business of shipping the on
ions to Cuba is hazardous to say the
least.
Ever since the war of 1897, however,
the increased friendliness between the
United States and Cuba has served to
furnish a ready market on the island
for local products, and the shippers
were quick to take advantage of this.
At present two or three car loads are
leaving here every week bound for CAL
weston or some other shipping point for
the West Indies. The price being paid
here now is in the neighborhood of SO
cents per bushel and is not high con-
sidering that the crop is short.
The onions are easily handled and
are mostly shipped in sacks. The ship
pers take the onions from the shippers
and sack them from the wagons. They
are then loaded in the cars and SEM
direct to the shipping points. In spite
of the fact that the cold weather ana
other unfavorable conditions have ren>
dered this years crop below the aver
age, the local dealers are doing a brisk
business and for the most part are well
satisfied with the situation

The MARKET IMPROVED
Strike Settlement Has Had a
Good Effect on the Live
stock Market
LARGE RECEIPTS ARE FEARED
A Big Run Next Week Would GIut the
Market and Cause Recession of the
Advancing Prices-cattIe and Hogs
Both Higher Than at Close of Last
Week.

Chicago, Sept. 10. - Receipts were
generally consigned direct to packers
tho a few lots of butcher stock We're
sold at steady prices. Prices closed 10
OBS higher than last week, the bulk of
strictly good steers selling up Is, while
common grades were about 10 higher
late demand ruling slow for these
grades. The strike settlement lends
belief that better market will prevail
in the near future, but a big run at the
start next week would undoubtedly
reaction from the present range of val
ueS.
While the strike is now settled and
many of the union men will return to
work on Monday, the general demand
for cattle will hardly show much more
strength, for a time at least, as the
public has been forced to pay high
prices for meats of late, and as
result the consumptive demand has
been considerably narrowed. Until
such time as meat prices come down
to normal scale again, there Will
likely be reduced outlet for meats, and
While packers will be in shape to
slaughter to their full capacity, with
in short time, the smaller demand
for meats will probably cause only
normal buying, and the country ship
pers should take this fact into cons
sideration when shipping stock. Trad
ers do not anticipate any very great
increase in offerings next Monday, AMI
Il big run will not be needed. The
market this week, while higher, has
not been particularly active, and when
buyers take moderate offerings as
slowly as of late, little indication #
broader demand under heavier re-
ceiptS is shown.
Hogs.
Trade was active, prices SOLO higher
than yesterday and 10@25 higher than
a week ago. with the advance mostly
on the better grades. Today's receipts
were comparatively small and every
thing desirable changed hands early.
Packers for several days past have
claimed hogs are relatively higher than
products, and consequently they are
talking lower prices for the near flu
ture, with anything like liberal re-
ceipts.
Sheep. i
The tone Of trade was remarkably
good and lambs sold fully 1925 high
er than the low time at the middle of
the week, while sheep sold steady at
preceding prices.

Sioux City Suckers.

Sioux City, Sept lo.-The stocker
and feeder trade has been in very
satisfactory condition. this week and
the market is, generally, a quarter
higher than the high point of last
week on the more desirable quality
and heavier weight feeders. Other
grades of stockers are 15c@25c higher
and even the common cattle have sold
to advantage owing to the supply not
being up to the increased demand. In
stock heifer values have advanced
in sympathy with the steers and with
sales at $2OOm2.50 the market is full
ly a dime higher than last week. A
brisk trade has been the order of each
day, and the dealers have made good
cleanup.

CUBA DOES BIG BUSINESS.
Large Crops in Island Largely Respon,
sible For Prosperity.

New York Sept. 1o-Houses in this
city activity engaged in trade with
Cuba report a distinct revival in bust
ness thruout the island Wednesdays
steamer went out absolutely filed with
cargo, and today's steamer, one of the
largest plying between here and Ha-
vana has been. compelled to leave over
1000 bags of oats for lack of room.
Sugar is now quoted on the basis Of
5-16 cents for SO test, duty paid, and
the large crops of sugar and tobacco,
together with the f1otation of the loan
on which payments are now being
made to the Cuban government, are
said to be in a large measure respon-
sible for the improved business condi-
tons.
