Dun's Weekly Review

NEW YORK, Oct. OR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow VIII say:
Further progress is making in trade expan-
sion and financial conditions are more settled
while politics, in spite Of the nearness OF
election day does not materially anect tne
trade circles are so uniformly favorable as TO
leave no question as to the widespread charac"
ter of the revival. ~
If further evidence of the rapid expansion
in iron and steel were needed 1T is furnished
by the report of the Steel corporation for the
third quarter and the appropriation OF slo'-
600 600 for new construction work. which tes-
tifies to the confidence shown in steaoy
growth of business in the future.
The leading railroads continue TO make ND
eral purchases of needed equipment, recent
sales of rails aggregating 1000 tons. New
business comes forward slowly in structufai
lines More interest is shown in the wire
trade than for some time past.
Stocks In retailers hands are reduced and
orders for fall have been so conservatlVely
placed that the rush for immediate delivery
forces higher prices.

Rradstreet,s Review

NEW YORK. Oct. 29-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say: Trade as whole is good IN
dustry, In turn, responds with advances OF
full manufacturers order books, full or over
time run, and general reports OF an insuIn-
cheney OF labor to meet requirements.
Altogether the situation is very satisfactory
and the rate of improvement in late months
promises to place 1909 close to the front In
the list Of years OF prosperity.
While mild weather has tended to retard
retail trade in some sections of the north
west, the general report is that the advance
OF the season and the marketing Of the year $
crops is bringing out large. volume Of trade
in country districts. q
EARLY reports as to holiday trade are also
very good Spring trade Is reported OF good
volume, and the general movement Is toward
enlarged sales.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2s.-strong buyers have
come into the wheat market, and there has
been a steady accumulation of December ey
those who believe that shorts VIII be unable
to deliver The heavy northwestern receipts
have not proved burdensome, as shown IN
the small Increase last Monday in the Vis-
ible. Theer is a steady movement Of spring
wheat by way of Chicago Detroit and Toledo
to millers south of the latter, extending TO
Kentucky and Tennessee. There is no longer
doubt as to depleted supplies OF wheat on
the farms east of the Missouri river. Inc
winter wheat varieties have held their SUN
premiums everywhere. While there IS a cur
tailment of -four shipments from the mills
that work on orders, domestic millers report
a good trade and no increase Of retail stocks
Export -four trade is the question at the
present prices though large operators in this
line made good hedges at a dollar and under
In the chicago and Minneapolis markets. and
shipments are confined to this class. q.
The Pacific coast wheat is moving in mod
crate volume and holding up the export vol
ume. The advance IN the last three days
will bring big receipts next week, ana a
decline in the market is due unless the Dig
buyers Of the December product protect the
price though on their theory of ultimate high
er prices they should welcome a decline Tor
further purchases. A scalp only on the down
side is in sight at this time.
Corn has held firm on heavy selling by the
Patten and related interests The shorts are
Basfng their play on heavy receipts from HI
inois, Indiana and Ohios The Ohio grain
dealers report that corn the average VIII
NOT be fit for market for some timei Indiana
makes similar complaint and Iowa announces
that the big yield section had too much
moisture and the grain will not be ready
for shipment for several weeks Should a
period Of damp weather develop south of the
lakes the shorts will come in quickly. Ihe
whole corn situation looks strong and, with
the high prices prevailing for cattle and hogs,
theer will be less surplus, as farmers VIII
hold for next spring feeding, when young
stock will be available and provisions at a
higher rating. Shortage Of cars is an added
factor to the corn market, and every weak
ness makes a good buying place.

SPECULATION IN
STOCKS REVIVED
EASING OF MONEY MARKET
RESTORES CONFIDENCE
BANK OF ENGLAND FAILS TO
CONTROL SITUATION
Wall Street Dealings Proved Broad
and Active, and Comparative ADJ
vance In Prices of securi-
ties Enacted
INV Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.--Today saw a
considerable revival of speculative in
terest in stocks. The cause was the
easing money market, and the conf
dence conditions would further relax
with the passing Of the November l
money settlements.
The sources OF supply Of the addi-
tional funds offered in. the money
market was believed to be London,
where it was reported private bankers
had been reduced to replace some of the
accommodation recently called in re-
sponse to the maneuvers of the Bank of
England The attraction for this ope-
ration was the payment Of a commits
sion to the English bankers by the
American borrowers which amounted to
a sharp premium over the interest rate
ruling in the money market there.
The resumption of American borrow
ing in London marks a defeat for the
expressed policy of the Bank of Eng
land when it set about to control the
London money markets and to make
the advances in the official discount
rate effective. The possibility came
into discussion, therefore, of further
defensive measures by the bank to de-
feat this movement. '-ev
The weeks currency movement mas
been against the New York banks, ac-
cording to- preliminary estimates al
though the net result is ameliorated by
the shipment of funds from the interior,
the balaneetin favorsof New York being
estimated at upward of $3,000,000. On
sub-treasury operations, however, the
banks have lost $3,271,O 900, while gold
exports to- South America and to
Canada have taken an additional So
475,000.
The stock market proved broad and
active and a comparative advance in
prices was effected. The covering ope-
rations of a substantial short interest
were given credit for a good part of
the days buying.
Vigorous recoveries in some of the
stocks which have hung back in re-
cent movements. notably the Hill rail-
road group, were a feature of the day.
United States Steal still absorbed a
large proportion Of the total dealings,
and its aggressive advance formed an
effective leadership.
This was supplemented by fresh
strength in Union Pacific, Southern Pa
cific and Reading. The copper indus
trials held a conspicuous position.
{ Rumors were persistent that an un-
derstanding among the principal pro-
ducers had been reached which would
rebound to their common benefit. No
official confirmation could be had for
these reports, but the fact of confer
ences between persons mainly con-
cerned gave them color.
Bonds firm. Total sales, par value,

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-rhe cotton market
was again intensely excited with prices works
ing up rapidly from the opening and some
deliveries sold at new high levels. Trade
the first hour was enormous, but after that
the business became less active and there was
a quieter tone, and orders were on a smaller
scale the remainder of the session. The OPEN
ing advance and the early gain were due to
aggressive open support by the leading bulls
and renewal OF activity and speculative
buying through commission houses occurred.
The market in thesafternoon showed a mod
crate reaction, and there was evidence Of a
little selling pressure. Bull news was not
quite so plentiful, and the reports in regard
to the short time were Increasingly numerous
