The Weekly Review of Chicago Trade,
published by Il. G. Dun & Co., says:
Commercial defaults again furnish a
gratifying decrease, and it is notable that
business activity, as measured by the VOL
ume of payments through the banks, IS
now above that of the corresponding
weeks in 1907 and 1906.
A healthy sentiment finds general &C
ceptancs and prevailing conditions derive
strength from the improving outlook, al
though election interest caused some tenn
porary recession in distributive channels
and TRANSPORTATION. Prospects in the
main widen confidence in manufactures
and. preparations indicate an early IN
crease in the active machinery and labor.
Iron and steel industries have consid-
cradle new demands in sight, while there
is more actual buying of railway equip
ment and supplies.
Building operations within the city
limits compare favorably in, value with a
year ago. Unusual quantities or materials
are now required and, while competitive
bidding is keen, there is more hrmness
in quotations of quarry products ana ium-
Der, although cost averages are less thah
at this time last year.
Deliveries of commodities exhibit a
smaller aggregate and lake traffic Is rath-
er light, but. the earnings of Chicago
steam roads continue their recovery. ,.G
Fewer buyers, as expected, appeared IN
the wholesale markets and house trade
was limited, yet mail orders reached an
encouraging total for dry goods, boots and
shoes, food products and Christmas wares.
