WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun and BradStreet Report Conditions General,
FaporabLe-RetaH Trade Is Improving.

New York, Oct. 13.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say: Trade conditions over the
week still show the effects of conservatism
dominating demand in all lines. but on
balance the business done this week has
been larger the one holiday considered.
Retail trade has been unquestionably
benfited by cooler weather.
Evidences of lower prices for raw
and manufactured cotton affecting buy
ers, and limiting orders frequent, but the
output Of the country's mills is unques-
tIonably larger at present than for a
number Of months past. The reports as
to building activity show that operations
current or projected are running ahead
OF a year ago, but the lumber trade Is
still rather dull The machine tool trade
Is dull, but as a whole, with the
centers reporting activity few and far
between.
THE jewelry trade is more active, and
the shoe trade likewise. The iron and
steel trade is fairly we'll employed,
though evidently at the expense OF val
ues. Collections do not show any i'm

New York, Oct. 13-Dun's review, octo-
ber Il, will say:
Measured by every important test, the
volume of business is larger than at the
corresponding period last year. and 1t is
gradually expanding. and the reports
from the leading trade centers during the
week being especially cheerful.
This appearance of increased activity
is particularly shown in the dry goods
trade, most of the branches of which, and
particularly in cotton, a brisker move
ment is reported. and more mills are re-
suming production. Increasing activity
is also reported in shoes, and the sales
of leather make up a respectable total
In iron and steel the business, tudg-
ing from the latest report OF unnlIed or
ders by the principal producers, while
showing a slight reduction from last
month. Is. nevertheless, well ahead OF
last year and greater resistance appears
to concessions in prices. There is bet
ter railroad demand for rolling stock and
the structural demand IS also improved.
During the past fortnight there has
been n notable reduction in the number
of idle cars, a sure indication Of increased
traffic a fact which is further confirmed
by the September total railroad earnings
which we're 80 per cent larger than a
wear ago.

Sharp Advances in Tobacco BondS-Beet Sugar
Makes New High Record - Russia's
Crop Report Shops Shortage.

New York, Oct. 13.-Bonds Of the Amer
ican Tobacco Company, both the Is and
IS, were traded in on a heavy scale to-
day, with sharp advances in both is
sues. American Beet Sugar was an is
sue to make high records. Cotton made
new low records. Wheat advanced on
announcement of a bad harvest in Rus
sia. but the general stock market was
dull though strong.
1t appears that large blocks Of the
per cent Tobacco bonds have been
picked up by operators, who will refuse
to accept any plan that does not give
them about par for the security. They
claim that the bond is a contract to
pay par. and they insist on its fulfill
ment 1t would be absurd, of course.
to consider the idea of the tobacco trust
being insolvent, and action Of the market
suggests that the insiders are willing to
let the company pay par for them. The
6 per cent bonds advanced on the theory
that they will be worth 120 under the
terms of the reorganization. They are
10 get $500 in cash for each $1,000 and $500,
payable in Z per cent bonds. which is
already quoted on the New York curb
at 30, thus making 30 for the IS.
Sugar Buying Is Good.
Beet Sugar made a new high record,
and the buying seemed to be first-class.
Bankers, however, are advising the liqui-
dation of Beet Sugar by small investors,
because the high price of sugar, brought
about entirely by crop shortages, is sure
to infiame the public and make a de-
mand for reduction of the tariff on sugar
popular. With a radical Congress, such
as will be in session this winter, there
is no telling what will happen to stock
holders of the two great sugar COM
panies.

LANE AND MEYER
SPLIT IN VIEWS
Discuss Railway Capitaliza-
tion at Convention.

A discussion of railway capitalization
during which Commissioners Lane and
Meyer, Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, took divergent views, yesterday
brought to a close the convention Of the
National Association of Railway Com
missloners. The convention voted to hold
its next meeting in Washington Novem-
Der 10, 1912.
Prior to adjournment, President-elect
Charles F. Staples was inducted into Of
fee, succeeding r. Hudson Burr, OF
Florida. The other o.hcers who assumed
their duties yesterday were: o. P. Goth
lin. Ohio. first vice president, and II.
Warner Hill, Georgia, second vice presi-
dent. William H. Connolly, Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, was re-
elected secretary, and william Kilpat-
rick, Illinois, assistant secretary.
In the general discussion Of railway
capitalization, Commissioner Meyer ex-
pressed the opinion that pubnc-service
bodies should see that every piece OF pa.
per issued by a railroad company told
the truth, and nothing but the truth,
and that 800 in money or service should
be behind every 500 certificate Of stock"

KALBFUs' PROBE MONDAY.
Conditions in District AssessOr'i
Once VIII Be Investigated.

Commissioner Rudolph announced yes
terday that the series Of hearing to be
held beginning Monday morning at 10
o'clock to investigate the charges pre-
ferred by F Oden Horstmann against
Samuel T. Kalbfus. District saloon in
spector, are to be held for the secondary
purpose of investigating general condi-
tons in the office of the District assessor.
Kalbfus is charged with having been
engaged in real estate transactions with
representatives of local brewing COM
panies, who were required from time to
time to appear before the excise board
for the transaction of business.
w. P. Richards, District assessor, Will
make a number OF recommendations,
which, in his opinion, are necessary for
the efficient operation of this branch OF
the District government Among the
recommendations are that the excise
board be given control over hotels, SINH
lar to that which 1t exercised over sa-
looms; that the excise board be given
additional authority in regard to the
regulation of saloons. and that the word
knowingly be stricken from the law
prohibiting the sale of intoxicants to
minors.

crops to-day following that of the United
States, and the Russian estimate places
the yield Of wheat 240,0000OO bushels
under that of last year, the yield Of
oats 10000, 900, and rye 14S,OO0O 900 less. The
dry weather has been general and the
revolution in China is a direct result
of partial crop failures in that part of
the country. The only respect in which
crops of the United States showed any
Improvement of importance in the latest
reports over those OF the previous re-
Port, were the addition of 100000 BUSH
els to the potato crop and 1000, 900 BUSH
els to the corn crop. The public in
general ignores the shortage of 14000, ,0O0
tons of hay. but this will be reflected
in the record high prices OF meat this
winter.
Steel Market DemoraIized.
An authority on steel said to-day that
the market for material is in a state Of
Generalization. Would-be purchasers can
'get almost any price they are willing to
pay provided they pay what it costs to
pI oduce the material. Quoted prices are
ignored entirely and both the trust and
the independents are looking for orders
except in rails. Rails hold firm as
though to defy the United States govern
ment to do something.
Cotton sold at the lowest price in three
years, and the activity of the cotton
market is drawing many traders away
from stocks. Spinners are holding off.
believing that prices will sink much low
er, and about the only purchasers of op-
tions are traders who have sold short
higher up. Thus, although short selling
is heavy, the volume of short contracts
is not growing because one short sale
automatically retires an outstanding
short contract. The great crop of cot
ton instead of being an inspiring influ-
ence is developing into a new cause OF
trade depression.
