New York. Oct Is.-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say:
Trade and industrial conditions work
forward very slowly. trade conditions be-
ing very disappointing for the season
Of the year. Evidences OF growing ease
In money market matters, combined with
enlargement In foreign trade due
to the war and good reports from the
winter wheat crop. contribute bright as
poets to otherwise adverse conditions
While the acute stringency In money
has not passed as yet, the progress made
in the direction OF lessening the strain
on credit is gratifying. However, business
Is restricted, and though merchants, ex-
cept in the South, are hopeful enough,
buying is marked by much conservatism.
Yet, on the whole, current distribution is
reasonably good. except in the South,
where trade Is well nigh stagnant be-
cause OF depression in the cotton situa-
ton.
"on the other hand, orders growing out
OF the European war stimulate a multi
plicity Of manufacturing lines and cause
overtime operations. In Industrial lines
some zest is furnished by foreign orders.
but demand on domestic account is espe-
cially light, and in such a basic industry
as iron and steel the tendency is to cur
tail outputs and to depend on ease in
credits to bring about an improved swing
Coal and lumber are slow of sales. II is
certain. however, that a relatively large
volume OF foreign orders have been
taken by some machinery interests. Col
lections, save in spots. are slow. the
northwest being most favorably circum-
stanced in this respect"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Continues to Improve, Many Factories
Working Overtime and Foreign Orders for
Grain Unusually High-Money Stronger.

New York. Oct Is-R. G. Dun & CO..
Review will say tomorrow:
Financial conditions improve in
steadiness and ability. but buying is eau
tious. Corporate and individual econo-
mics are being largely put in practice,
and while they will ultimately result in
a great reserve power, their present ef-
feet is to reduce consumption. With the
iron and steel industry working on q
50 per cent capacity basis; with building
operations reduced over 90 per cent: with
a prolonged period OF warm weathet
interfering with the normal development
of mercantile distribution in dry goods
and kindred trades; with the railroads
suffering from diminished earnings, and
curtaIling the purchase Of supplies until
the matter Of increased rates is deter
mined; with capital conservative in pro-
noting new enterprises; with collections
slow and the business caution increased
by the fear OF a longer war than was
at first anticipated, the situation presents
many features conducive to conservative.
Yet there are a number Of encour-
aging Indications. The money and eX-
change situation is becoming stronger
week by week. Some of the restrictions
on dealings in securities are being re-
moved. Foreign commerce is expanding
from the prostration which attacked II
and a new trade balance Is being estab-
nshed; exports from New York during
the last week were N7.5l2,sH compared
with S13,121, ,s33 a year ago. Foreign de-
mand for wheat continues heavy. This
condition makes for q relatively greater
prosperity

Southern spot markets were not quotsbly lower

automatically stop the hauling Of the staple from

per production, It is obvious that the de-
mand for American copper met, in the
war a real fundamental condition about
which IL was not necessary to theoriZe.
Since, on the contrary, the best fields
of Europe, and particularly of that part
Of Europe which is the very center of the
struggle. produced each year an enor-
nous and increasing amount Of raw sug-
ar, it is equally obvious that the sug-
ar growers on this side of the water met
another condition and a quite dissimilsr
one about which 1t again is not neces-
sary to theorize. One condition was de-
the most favorable condition that could
be imagined.
II is obvious that out Of a contrast
like this one maydraw a strong con-
clusion for the benefit Of the investor.
1t should be fairly clear that for pure
investment, which seeks security and
integrity Of principal and certainty of
income above everything else, there are
elements in such stocks as those des-
cribed which should place them outside
the investment zone. They carry too
big a business risk. They make a man
or woman unwillingly partners in the
changeful and tickle fortunes of the
world. They rise and fall with the tide

great, now small. according to circum-
stances Of theday. That Is a funda-
mental departure from the principle Of
pure investment.
There is implied no criticism of such
stocks for the purpose for which they are
adapted. A business man, who likes
to carry in his investments some chance
for profit and is willing to assume some
chance for !oss, may find them entirely
suited to his requirements.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago Oct, I6-There was no abatement TO-DAY
in the demand for breadstufs on account Of Great

were entirely too small. The activity and success
Of the Germans has caused some fear that the
