Commercial Review

R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: Cooler weather in most Sec
tons of the country has stimulated retail
demand for seasonable merchandise, i'm
proving the tone of business where there
had been more or less irregularity, but
reports are still somewhat mixed as to
collections. Supplementary orders are
coming to the primary markets for wear
ing apparel, and in many cases shipments
would show still larger gains over. the
same time last year if transporting facll-
tiles were better. This car shortage is
an increasingly disturbing element:
There is still very close comparison OF
railway earnings, which were only 9 per
cent. larger than in October, 1904. In
dustria conditions are little disturbed
BY labor controversies, although several
important questions are under discus
sion. Thus far work is scarcely inter
rupted and more cases OF advances IN
wages are reported.
At the South and West scarcity OF
labor retards operations, yet those sec
tons are more prosperous than ever be-
fore. Leading branches of manufactures
make good progress, most mills and tao
tories having orders for more remote
delivery than is customary, and especial
ly favorable statements are made re-
specting lumber and flour mills. Failure
returns were very favorable in October,
liabilities falling SO per cent behind last
years For the first time in recent weeks
exports from this port declined material.
ly in comparison with the same week OF
1904 the adverse balance amounting to
$4,843,Io3. Imports rose $I,o43,o25
Forward business in hides during the
past week attained enormous proper
tions, transactions at Chicago and Mis-
souri, River points reaching fully 100000
hides.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 2o2, against 2Io las'
week, 233 the preceding week and 229
the corresponding week last year.
Bradstrect's says: Wheat, including
-four, exports for the week ending No
vember 2 are 6,2S3,3o9 bushels, against
4,2o7,Ioo last week, I,482,2o2 this week
last year, 4,34o2SI in 1903, and 5,7I5,555
in 1902. Corn exports for the week are
I,ooo,3Io bushels, against 7oS,I3S last
week, 346o27 year ago, I,45oo3o in
1908, and I3o,S47 in 1902.
