COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
OF Trade says:
Renewed buying Of rolling stock
by the railroads is the conspicuous
development OF the week In the iron
ana steel trade. Reports indicate
tnat orders are being placed with
some urgency and that considerable
new business is under negotiation.
Activity at steel works is reflected In
continued heavy purchases of pig
IRON at many points and further adj
vances IN prices are announced. One
contract for 10000 tons of Bessemer
at $1S is reported. The structural
shops are receiving a moderate
amount OF new business.
Trade in dry goods shows steady
gains and the higher prices In the
primary markets, forced by the sus-
tanned high cost OF raw material, are
now quite freely paid. Trading in
white cloths continues active and
prices are fully on a level with the
cotton market. Export trade is lin
tied by the higher prices"
Bradstreet's says:
Improvement is the order of the
day In trade, collections and indus
try. Colder weather, freezing tenn
perature, light SHOWS or killing
Irosts, coupled with freer crop move
ment, have helped retail trade and
collections at the West and North
west while lower temperatures and
high prices and free marketing of
cotton have helped distribution at
the South. Jobbing trade has been
coincidently benefited by -reordering
to I'LL broken stocks, and the dis
tributive trade side accordingly pre-
sents very favorable appearance. -
