r. G. Dun & Co.'S special weekly re-
port to The Times Dispatch OF local
trade conditions is as follows
Gratifying reports OF improvement In
business are received from nearly every
section of the country. Richmond has
recovered from the dulness OF the past
year, and the past two months have
witnessed n return to almost normal
conditions. Jobbcrs are employed to
capacity. and sufficient future ship
mcnt orders are booked to insure a
prosperous fall and winter business.
Lower temperatures have created de-
mand for seasonable merchandise at
retail, and the trade was further aug
mentcd by the thousands OF visitors
who took advantage OF railroad rates
during fair week.
Improvement In tho lumber trade Is
lspasmodic: prices, however are main
tatned. Real estate is inactive and
sales have been inconsequential for
several weeks Building. while con-
fined to small structures, ia of fair vol
