CONDITION OF TRADE.
Dun's Review says:

Further progress is made in tile readiust-
ment OF the markets 10 the higher prices
which are inevitable IN a period Of big gold
production. reviving Industry and acIi -e
speculation. The government October re-
port OF value OF agricultural exports was
.he best on record. with Two exceptions and
this was largely due 10 the higher Irices OF
products. ana especially or cotton. IL is
significant, however, tnat 1hs attention Cf
many of our leading financiers is being di-
rected % the fact that demands OF our do
mestic consumption are steadily reducing
the amount of surplus available for export
and this makes for marked changes n fut-
IRE economic and financial conditions in
this country. The speculation in cotton has
been a sensational ard unsettling incident.
Except for a slight reaction in the demand
in some departments. there is no chang in
the remarkable activity which prevails IN
tho iron and steel trade. and even the slack
ening Of demand in some branches is more
than counter rbalanced by the increased de-
mand in other branches. In the GrygoOds
trade the noticeable development this week
as in the last fcFv weeks, is the steady re-
Adjustment 70 the hign prices OF the raw
materials The same development appears
IN the shoe trade. Railroad earnings during

increased 70 per cent over last year ard 4T
Der cent over 1906. while in New York there
was a decline Os 81 per cent as compared
