BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
WEEKLY SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS
 IN TRADE.
September Closes With Little Abate- ment in the Demand and Indi- cations WarrantinE OptIm-
 ism for Future

New York. Sept 29.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 September. a period of almost unex- ampled activity in all lines of distribu- tive trade and industry, closed with lit tie abatement visible in demand and with optimism as to the future wide spread. Favoring the satisfactory winding up of the months work have been good weather conditions, allowing the maturing of practically all food crops without damage from frost Ad- ditionally helpful to distributive trade and collections have been the beginning large sales of cotton at good prices South, an unprec edented demand at top prices for all kinds of building ma terial It Is true that retail trade in warm weather but this is regarded as only temporary. Crop moving necessi- ties have produced a growing feeling that the past two years of easy money are about to give way to firmer condi- tlons. With the advent of October some quieting in the present demand few centers note that trading is less active because many buyers have re- turned home. Where, however, as in the case of spring sales of cotton and shoes. a line on next years business Is ( htained good reports are received.
 Iron and steel buying for the last quarter of this year and the first three months of 1906 Is very good Septem- ber's bookings in most markets in fact topping the list of monthly sales. IL might also be noted that winter wheat viii be planted and soil and other con ditions seem to insure a better start than a war ago. Transportation facil- ities are already taxed by movement of crops and heavy general trafEc.
