able s. rides. ~

New York, Nov. 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says
today: Although the holiday and un,
reasonable weather handicapped bust
ness this week further substantial pro-
gress was made toward normal COM
merciaI activity, especially in respect
to the number of wage-earners en-
ployed in the leading industries. Mills
that have been closed for over year
are reopening, and many plants that
were on part time or force are now in
full operation. Recovery is making re-
markable strides, and almost every.
comparison with conditions a year ago
provides a reason for the day devoted
to grateful recognition.
Prices of pig iron are well maintain
ed at recent advances, which may ap-
pear out Of proportion to changes in
finished products, but it is only re-
covery of former losses when pig iron
declined while steel was 7unaltered.
One of the best features of the week
was the demand for railway supplies.
Steel rails were ordered moderately,
and many leading roads are ready to
operate if the mills will roll accord
ing to special schedules at standard
prices. Strength is maintained in the
primary markets for textiles. .u
