TURNING POINT REAcHED-DuN.
Decrease in Bank Exchanges Looked
Upon as Favorable.

Upon as Favorable.
New York, Nov. 29.-Dun's review
tomorrow will say:
Further reduction in bank exchanges
reflect a smaller volume of payments
thru the banks. the total exchanges
this week at all the leading cities in
the United States being $1,54S,S14,72S
or 34.3 per cent less than last year,
and 35.7 per cent under the correspond
ing week in 1906. Only five business
days are included in the week each
year. The decrease in bank exchanges
is slightly less than last week. This
may indicate the turning point has
been reached, but practically every
city again reports loss compared with
last year, and at some cities the loss
is quite large, notably at New York,
Boston Philadelphia, New Orleans and
San Francisco. Kansas City is the
only exception and reports a small
gain, and at some central western
cities the loss is very small.
