General Trade Conditions
Much Improved.
Textile Industry Fully Operated
With F|ourishing Sales.
Lille Extra Activity in Leather Trade...The
Record Of Failures.

New York, Sept. S.-R G. Dun &
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade, tomor-
row, will say:
Commercial news continues most
satisfactory, improvement being re-
ported in almost every case except the
further decline in prices of securities.
Crops are being harvested under most
favorable conditions and a few weeks
more without severe frost will put the
yield of corn and cotton beyond danger.
Industrial progress IS accelerated by
the broadening demand for iron and
steel products, textile mills and shoe
factories are well occupied, while the
demand for material testifies to exten-
sivc building operations.
Textile machinery is fully operated
and manufacturers show much inde-
pendence regarding new contracts. The
sharp fall in the price of cotton had a
somewhat quieting effect on the pri-
mary mark for goods. buyers restrict
ing operations to immediate needs.
Yet all Offering of spot goods on early
deliveries are quickly absorbed. The
feature is the pressure for prompt ship
ment which can seldom be secured
owing to dilatory tactics pursued in the
expectation of lower prices. This atti-
tude is still in evidence regarding the
future which promises to maintain cur
rent conditions of anxiety for each de-
livery as stocks are depleted. A little
relief is produced by the sale of goods
originally purchased for export and
buyers are counting on the permanence
of this element of relief. Jobbers re-
port satisfactory fall trade.
A firm tone continues to prevail in
the hide market although there is more
evidence of irregularity. No great ac-
tivity occurs in leather. yet there is 4
steady demand at full figures and the
cnly suggestion Of weakness comes
from offerings of poor quality, which
are not wanted. Some tanners have
curtailed production rather than ac-
cumulated leather at the present prices
of hides, but an active market is eX
rCcted in a few weeks, when the shoe
factories will be fully employed on fall
and winter lines. Many Of the larger
plants have orders on hand assuring
activity until February.
Eastern wholesalers are finding diff
Guilty in placing orders for November
shipments. JObbers are somewhat re-
luctant to operate freely on spring
lines. but they find producers equally
indisposed to force sales. Local jobbers
have been surprising all records of
size of shipments since about the mid
die of August.

the United States against 200 last year.

the earthquake. the crowd gradually
melted away, until by o'clock, the
streets had almost assumed their nor
NAL appearance except in the ruined
villages, where the inhabitants had no
homes to go to.
Troops. engineers and doctors have
been hurried to the scenes of the dis
aster to assist in the work of rescue
