CONDITION OF TRADE.
Dun's Review says:

Further progress is making in trade e&-
pansion and financial condltlonS are HloIe
settled, while politics, in spite OF tle di Iiedi
ness of Election Day. does not inaterlally
affect the business situation. Nearly every
development OF the week Is faVoraple'
Even the weather conditions have con-
iributed TO a larger. distribution OF meT-
chandlse The iron and steel trade Is
breaking previous records and the prlncl-
stock dividend The railroads, with the
courage born of greatly augmented iraihc,
are purchasing heavily of steel ralls. cars
and other supplies. Their earnings during
the first three weeks Of October were Ill

of drvgoods is expanding and somewhat

showing of growth than it is making at
the present time

demand shown in many lines Industry in
turn responds with adyices OF full manu-
facturers' order books, full or overtime

together the situation is, all things con-
sidered. a very satsta ctory one. and the
rate of Improvement in the late months
of the year promises to place 1893 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 ad-
vance of the season and the marketing of
the years crops are bringing out a large
volume of trade in the country districts,
while enlarging payrolls, fall festivals and
state fairs are all helping to stimulate dis
tribution in the cities. Jobbing trade keeps
