.DUN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Ahead and Much Business on
Must Be Carried Over.

r. G. Dun & Cos Weekly Review
OF Trade" says; Recent mild wealth
er might have been expected to re-
tard business, but freight block
ades and several similar conditions
testify to the contrary. Holiday
trade promises TO supply unpreced-
ented business. Manufacturers are
so fully occupied that contracts for
early delivery cannot be considered
in most cases, and the amount OF
business that will be carried over in
to 1906 will certainly eclipse all rec
ords. These sanguine prospects are
confidently announced in several OF
the leading industries, latest news
from the iron furnaces and steel
mills being notably gratifying. Crops
were not seriously injured by the
frost, and such small percentage Of
the years yield still remains expos
ed to danger that agricultural re-
suits may be summed up as most fav-
orable. Railway earnings thus far
reported for October gained only O.2
per cent. over last years movement.
but prices of securities were little in
fluenced by the bankers addresses
urging conservatism. Failures this
week numbered 2l4 in the United
States, compared with POS year
ago, and 25 in Canada against "a last
year.
Bradstreets will say: Further
strength has developed in iron and
steel. Premiums for quick delivery
are now almost universal, and con-
tracts far into 1906 are announced for
both crude and finished products.
The only flaw in the situation at pres
ent, one, by the way, flowing from
intense activity in all lines of indus
try, is the growing inability OF the
railroads to handle the freight traffic
offerings. This complaint is well
nigh universal.

Enthusiastically intellectual parts,
the title role in his own stage
adaptation of Lord Tennyson's

After the performance Sir Henry
returned to his hotel, reaching his
rooms at 1870 O'clock when it was
observed that he was in great pain.
Physicians were Immediately sum-

Sir Henry was seized with an at
tack of syncope and expired within
a few minutes, without having utter

manager for many years, and few
other intimate friends. The event

PRICES GROW FIRMER
Danger Of Runaway Iron and Steel
Market is Passed.

The Iron Review says: The danger
of a runaway is disappearing and
conditions are thoroughly sound.
The outlook is that while there will
be no special excitement in the near
future all plants will continue fully
as active as they have been for some
time.
The demand for structural material
continues unabated and efforts to en-
thuse life into the strike of struc-
tural workers seems to have had little
effect. Among the recent large orders
for bridge material was one for
$4,000 tons from the Atchison, To-
peka e Santa Fe railroad.
