BRADSTREET AND Dun
REPORT ON BUSINESS
Cooler Weather of the Week Is
Felt TO Affect Volume Of
Trade.

New York. Nov. 6.--Bradstrcets Sat
urday said:
Retail trade. which now occupies the
center OF the stage as regards distri-
button. has been greatly stimulated by
colder weather over wide area OF
country. In fact, reports regarding
this branch Of business display a bet
ter tone than they have since last
spring. The turnover has been espe-
cially marked In such lines as dry
goods. rubbers. boots and shoes. furs.
deferred breaking up OF stocks now
seems to. be under way.
Jobbing lines report q fairly good
volume Of orders, though II Is still too
early to expect much benefit from the
recent cold weather. Road sales sent
provement, and It Is significant that
wooden goods for spring shipments and
advances are noted in several lines.
But In a general sense wholesale trade
outside Of holiday lines Is relatively
light. At the same time there are
enough cross currents to prevent uni
formfty. Thus country merchants con-
tue to buy in a very conservative man
ner: industry remains rather quiet and
the low price Of cotton Is having de-
pressing effect on trade and collections
In the south. or course, the low prices
OF the crop means cheap supplies for
the textile mill industry. and conse-
quently more activity later. while the
size Of the yield presages good export
trade. Soles Of cotton goods for future
accounts are hampered by the belief
of consumers that the price situation
Is unstable.
Leather is firm and there is more dis
position to cover distant requirements.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending November were
200. against 231 last week. 179 in the
like week of 1910, 212 In 1909, EOS in
1908 and 226 in 1907.
Canada number 16, which contrasts
with 81 last week and % In the corre-
spending week of 1910.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade today says:
The Volume OF business is Of fair
amount and trade continues to exhibit
a quickening spirit In most lines 1t Is
still below producing capacity, general
ly consisting Of the supplying OF i'm
mediate necessities. The absence OF
ierge unsold stocks on the shelves and
the presence of supplies OF credit SO
great that this country is now able to
finance the pressing needs of Europe
20 an extent that has rarely II ever
been equaled In the past, are elements
Of basic strength.
Orders for steel products booked by
the leading interests during October
are estimated to have been the largest,
with one exception, in any month this
year. The transporting companies also
are making purchases of needed equip
ment, contracts for some 10000 cars
having been placed in the past week.
