DUN'S REVIEW,
The Cooler Weather Gen.
orally Stimulates Trade.
Conditions Healthy in Cotton
and Wool Goods Market.
Leather Sales for October Surpass Any
Month in 10 Yedrs...FaiIures.

| New York, Nov. 3.-R. G. Dun & Cos.
| Weekly Review of Trade, tomorrow,
will say:
Cooler weather in most sections of the
country has stimulated retail demand
| for seasonable merchandise, improving
| the tone of business where there had
been more or less irregularity, but re-
ports are still somewhat mixed as to
collections. Supplementary orders are
coming to the primary markets for
wearing apparel. and in many cases
shipments would show still larger gains
over the same time, last year, if trans
porting facilities We're better.
Large purchases of pig iron carry the
contracts for distant delivery we'll into
the first quarter of next year, and in
quirieS are by no means confined to the
| leading interest, numerous small Or
3crs being placed with growing evil
dencc of confidence.
Conditions must be healthy and the
outlook bright in the Gotten goods in
ouStry when the nest noticeable fea-
ture is the inability to secure prompt
delivery. Quotations are naturally firm
in view of this preponderance of de-
mand over supply
There is comparatively little uneasi-
ness regarding the labor situation at
Fail River, yet it is Il market factor. AS
to WOolenS. mems wear agents are pre-
pairing for the next fall season, espe-
cially in the WOrSted division, where the
entire product for the current season
has been sold. This helps the situation
as to wool goods, which have been rel
atiVely less attractive
Stocks of leather are rapidly iimin-
ishing, tanners stating that October
sales surpasS any month in more than
~ years. While a reimbursement of
market values for footwear was expect
ed the general advance of 121a cents
per pair that is being asked by manu-
facturerS is so large that few contracts
OF any size have been placed for deliv-
cry after Jan. l.
Yet the strength of raw material is
so pronounced that there is little pros
pect of securing better terms by delay.
New England shops are well supplied
with old orders which assure operation
for the balance of the year and W hen
the time comes that jobbers must re-
plenish stocks. it is the general opinion
that new quotations will be accepted.
Failures, this week. in the United
States are 2O2, against 229 Cor the cor
