NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-R c. Dun & Co.
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Trade and Industrial activity continue to ex-
pand Improvement being of conservative ma
ture that promises pernanency. There Is little
disposition to anticipate the future. but cur
rent distribution is larger and mercantile coll
lections are more prompt. In manufacturing
lines the iron and steel industry is steadily
adding to output and shoe shops are receiving
substantial contracts although producers are
handicapped by the persistent strength Of hides
and leather Export trade is dull inquiries
from India and Red points being at much
lower prices than are quoted The decline In
supers has made a resumption Of demand
from China still more remote Hides are again
very frm, large sales of western pack hides
being made at good prices.
