WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Overwhelming Business and Industrial Activity the Keynote
of Dun and Bradstreet Reports Revival in the
South Is Especially Noticeable

New York. Nov. 5.-Bradstreets state
ment OF the condition OF trade for the
week ending tomorrow will say:
Two features loom large in this weeks
reports-the Overwhelming activity OF
trade and the increased momentum at
tanned In many industries
Out Of these grow overtime in factory.
mill and shop; progressive Improvement
In Industries. almost wholly dependent on
domestic wants: larger pay rolls; sus-
tanned. II not increased. demand upon
jobbers and wholesale dealers: more con-
ndent future buying, accompanied, how
ever, by urgent calls for goods already
ordered. and although mild weather has
prevented retail trade In the cities from
running its full course. much OF the
slack in this respect has been taken UP
by increased buying in various country
districts.
Apparently, pessimism has been alto
gether unsested. Activity in the stock
market continues. Legitimate demand
for money Is being supplied at easy
rates. while collections are freer. Rail-
road traffic, East and Northwest. Is OF
record proportions. and the grain move
ment from the leading producing States
has reached a new high-water mark.
Production CT pig iron Is the largest In
the history Of the country. while prices
for iron and steel continue on an ascend
ing scale. Railway buying indicates
pressure TO get orders booked. Bank
clearings for October set up a peak
level that will he hard to surpass.
Sold ahead Is the order of the day in
many Industries. and time 70 make up or
ders in hand. rather than to get new
business, is the chief dcsideratum. Flour
mills are pushed to China. furniture fac
tories are busy. war-order plants are
rushed. and foreign demand for stee
still presses. Every wooden mill Is re-
ported working full time. lumber con-
tinues to make progress. demand for coke
exceeds production, iron ore shipments
are heavy. building Is more active and
real estate is In better demand

New York, Nov. 4-Dun's trade
review for the current week tomor-
row will say:
Evidences of returning prosperity
are multiplying throughout the COM
mercial world. OF late. the construc-
tive movement has swung forward
with rapidity.
ume of transactions and a further
growth of optimistic sentiment fea-
tured the month just ended. when
several new high records including
those of both production and distri-
button already established
During October. for the first time
In the history of the country the out
put of pig iron reached 100000 tons,
export trade, due largely to the
urgency Of the war demands. was OF
unmatched proportions; gold imports
were of unparalleled size. bank clear
ings touched figures never before at
tanned, while a number of standard
stocks and bonds advanced to the best
prices of the year. Moreover. latest
railroad returns show remarkable
enhancement of the earning power Of
the commerce carriers. with leading
systems, notably the Pennsylvania,
reaching maximum revenues.
The business boom is becoming ma
tion-wide. instead of being confined
TO a comparatively few lines directly
stimulated by the war.
It is the exceptional strength of
the economic structure. as represent
ed in part by the bountiful crops and
the sound banking position, that has
made the advance to new goals pos
sible.
The confidence and actual revivaf
OF activity in the South is particularly
striking. Everywhere. general trade
keeps more even pace with the phe-
nomenal expansion In iron and steel
and throughout the country there Is
an increased disposition to anticipate
forward needs. The volume OF retail
dealings shows a material gain and
wholesale transactions are notably
larger Generally mercantile collec-
tions are decidedly better.

Ray Consolidated was also in good de-
mand. owing to an announcement that
the company will call for the retire.
ment. on December 81. of its $500 .oco
per cent convertible bonds These
bonds are callable at 10 and are selling
around 134 SO that this will hasten their
conversion into stock. Following the
ton, insiders predict an increase in the
dividend to 81 share The company is
now paying s1.50 a share annually. A
better demand was also reported for
copper metal and producers advanced
the price of Electrolytic one-eighth OF a
cent to IS 3-s cents a pound.
Public Utilities Tumble.
Public utility shares. which have been
prominent for the last week. shared in
the reactions of the entire list. Western
Union insiders attribute the recent
strength of that stock to the fact that
the earnings are well ahead of those a
year ago, and there is a possibility of an
increase in dividend in December.
Announcements OF railroad earnings
were favorable. Seaboard Air Line re-
porting a good-sized net earning for Sep

The action Of the Gould interests in
electing as president of the Denver and

obtained control of Missouri Pacific. The
