CAUTIOUS ADVANCE
IN TRADE ACTIVITY
August Failures Contrast
With Bank Clearings
PIG IRON is ACTIVE
Garnered Crops Contribute Even
Better Yields Than Anticipated a
Fortnight Ago-Consumption
of Iron Products Good

New York, September 6.-R. ID. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Continuous advance in trade activity ID
the tenor of the reports from the principal
manufacturin and distributing centers
this week. There are still certain de-
velopments indicative of passing condi-
lions of depression. The large number OF
August failures, with their heavy aggre-
gate of liabilities, are a legacy Of the
now disappearing disturbances, and they
contrast sharply with the big August
bank clearings, which are development
of present activity and buoyancy. The
clearing in August gained 4.6 per cent
over last year, while during this week
they increased 1915 per cent over 1911 and
17.6 per cent over 1910. The evidence of
these clearngs is confirmed by the cur
rent railroad gross earnings which show
gain of 6s per cent over 1911. Rates
of money are hardening in all parts Of
the world. The increased confidence in
the financial markets is illustrated by the
fact that the August output of new secu-
rites and short term notes in this coun-
try was S92,000,000 greater than a year
ago. The remarkable consumption of iron
and copper products continues to the point
of actual capacity, and all the principal
industries show satisfactory activity
There continues an unusual demand
for iron and steel for this season of the
year, with indications that the bulk 0f
production is going directly into con-
sumption. Buying in some directions has
been checked slightly by the material adj
vance in prices, yet the amount OF bust
ness in prospect aggregate sa heavy ton
mage.
Activity in pig iron is now the most
prominent feature of the situation. and
the output during September promises to
be the greatest rate of the year. The
month opened with PSI furnaces in oHera-
ton.
New York, September 6.-Bradstreet's

Every. prospect pleases and trade con-
tinues it's onward march. Culmnative
strength appears to be the order OF the
day. The quickening impulses of better
