TRADE CONDITIONS.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Business
Review.

". Dun a SOsS "ttAhy
Review.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-R. G.. Dun Il
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Lower temperature brought out much
business in seasonable lines Of wear
rng apparel, and most reports from
wholesalers tell of the largest volume
of trade ever transacted. Shipping de-
partments are limited in activity by
inadequate railway facilities, and this
difficulty is becoming aggravated by
the free movement of grain and coal
as the season advances.
Grain markets were quiet, with mar
row fluctuations prior to the publica-
ton of the official report, botR sides OF
the account preferring to wait until the
situation was more definitely known,
but after the statistics were published
there was little activity. as no impor.
tant change appeared in comparison
with the previous report. Western re-
ceipts of wheat increased, but still
show loss in comparison with last
years figures. i- >~''-
