WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun and Bradstreet Report Conditions as Show-
ing Little Change-Cool Weather a Help.

New York, Oct. 27.-Bradstreets Octo-
Der % will say:
Trade displays little change, with Der
haps a slightly greater tendency toward
irFgularity. Yet the consensus Of re-
Totts from many markets, barring some
In the South, indicate that retail trade,
on which branch of distribution attention
is centered, has been materially helped
by cooler weather
Wool is being bought freely, and the
mills are active on orders, while leather
and shoes are also being taken in guam
tity. Trade in cotton goods is not being
helped by the instability of prices.
Wheat seeding IS finished. and con-
ditiOnS in that respect are favorable.
Corn husking is progressing, but little is
being cribbed, owing to excessive moist
ure, and high-grade corn brings very
hiGn prices. Money is easy and Eastern
banks are reported to be buying COM
mercial paper in the West. However,
collections lag. being particularly back
ward in the South, owing, of course, TO
the low price Of cotton and the holding
movement now In force in that section.
In the Industries. the chief events of the
week comprehend the decision of the
il Cading iron and steel interests to termi-
nate its lease on the Great Northern Ore
lands. the intention of the Ore-carrying
roads to reduce freight rates on this
raw material. and finally the application
"f the Federal government for a diSsolu-
tiOn of the United States Steel CorpO-
ration. But so far as actual buying OF
steel and iron goes, the week has de-
velOped very little. Prices continue to
tend downward
