DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Business and Industrial Conditions
Continue to Expand.
GAIN OF CONSERVATIVE NATURE
Iron and steel Mills Are StendiIy

mand H. Improving-Shoe
shops Busy.

NEWrYORK. Aus. 2l.-R. q. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say:
Trade and Industrial activity continue to
expand, Improvement beinE Of a conserva-
tive nature that promises uermdnency.
There is little disposition 20 autiCiratc tho
future. but current. distribution is larger
and mercantile collections are more prompt.
There is some complaint among wholesale
dry goods 1obbcrs that the big auction sales
detracted from regular business. hut the
general situation was greatly improved BY
the distribution of those accuWulations.
and many retailers have remained to sup
plcmcnt, their purchases.
In manufacturing lines the iron and steel
Industry Is steadily adding to output and
shoe shops are receiving substantial con-
tracts, although producers are handicapped
by the PERSISTENT strength Of hides and
leather. & few special sales Of DiC iron
have been made at concessions from f1rwer
quotations. some merchant furnaces seek
ing all the business offered. but ,ha gen.
eral level Of prices is not materially al
tered anc there Is a distinct Improvement
in demand. Most recorded Transactions are
for this years delivery. each week bring
ing a little larger consumption at steel mills
and some reduction OF stocks in furnace
Yards.
