DUN'S REVIEW Of TRADE
Distribution Of Autumn Merchandise /,
Unusually Heavy,
FACTORIES HAVE BIG CONTRACTS ON HAND
There is Little Idle Machinery and
the volume of Railway Tramc
t. the Heaviest for
Months.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-R. c. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade tomorrow
will say:
Distribution OF autumn merchandise lie in
progress unusually early this year and the
that the last half Of 1906 promises to estsb.
lish a remarkable record of commercial
activity. Current retail trade is well main
jobbers indicating that dealers stocks are
becoming depleted, and there 10 little com
plaint regarding collections. More labor
disputes have reached settlement and no
serious controversies are threatened, while
In many, sections the supply Of wage
and insufficient rolling stoGI, cause delay,
despite widely extended faSilties as COM
pared with last year, ans this trouble will
probably Increase as the crop-moVing sea-
son advances.
Special reports regarding manufacturing
conditions have been received From about
forty leading industrial centers and there
Is surprising unanimity In the statements.
n MiIh scarcely an exception. plants are
idle machinery except where alterations or
improvements are In progress, and con-
tracts on hand far exceed those held at
this date in 1904. Equally gratifying Is
the confidence expressed In the future, a
prominent feature OF most reports. En-
couraging crop prospects provide n large
share of the good feeling. Railway earn
ings in the first half of August surpassed
commerce at this port for the last week
exceeded the movement a year previous
py SE,4lO546 In exports and N,lO6,OO In I'M
ports.
Sentiment has improved in the iron and
steel industry. Actual transactions are
stu somewhat limited. but confidence in
the future Is becoming more widely diff
fused. Mills making textile fabrics are en-
toying larger degree of activity and APP
pear to have more business In sight than
any other branch of manufacture. This
is due in part to the low position to which
stocks were allowed to become depleted
before purchasing became general and also
TO the firmness of raw material, which
does not encourage delay in providing for
future requirements.
Recent conditions in hides and leather
are accentuated and 1t is evidently the
! policy of strong interests to sustain hides
at the best position, while neglectlng
| leather Foreign dry hides are unchanged
| at the recent advance. Shipments OF foot

American Ambassador Mccormick has
returned from Carlsbad, but pending def
mite instructions is not taking any active
steps.
Spencer F. Eddy, secretary OF the Amer
lean embassy at St.. Petersburg, arrived
here today from the Russian capital and
had a lengthy conference with American
Ambassador Mccormick relative to the
situation.
Premier Rouvier is still in Paris with his
vacation in suspension mainly because of
the proposed military demonstration against
Morocco. While continuing to exert it,
moral influence towards the success OF
, the negotiations at Portsmouth. the gov
eminent thus far has refrained from formal
Intervention.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Temps telegraphs that Emperor Nicholas,
while expressing to Ambassador Meyer his
| deep recognition Of President Roosevelt
| efforts explained that Russia was unable
to make further concessions. His majesty
| said that the payment of an indemnity
| would be contrary to the fundamental inter-
ests OF the nation, while 1t would only fur
Their the ambition of the Japanese for fresh
territorial conquests and involve the posi-
| near future with the balance of power in
| their favor instead of an equalized
strength, at present. The desire of the
Russian people for peace, the emperor told
| the Ambassador, did not supersede the ma
tional interests.
