NEW YORK, october 3-Dun's says:
Brisk, cool weather during the week
accelerated the demand for nearly all
grades of seasonable merchandise, with
the movement particularly accentuated
in millinery, shoes, wearing apparel,
draperies and household equipment.
Heavy promotion work is being contin-
ued by the majority Of retail estab-
lishments, with anniversary sales and
novelty merchandising appeals featur-
ing activities. The volume of dry goods
and clothing sales shows considerable
gain over that of former weeks and
measures well up to the volume Of last
year"
Weekly bank clearings. $7.489. 1865 900,
a decrease of 500 per cent from year
ago. Outside Of New York there was
a decrease of 1875 per cent.
Bradstreet's says:
Weather, favorable and otherwise,
and the European situation affected
trade throughout the entire country
this week Nearly all reports to Brad
streets from so leading centers men,
toned the weather In most sections
the fortunate drop in temperature had
stimulated buying of seasonal goods.
Continued dropping In retail prices
and large advertising expenditures are
still the watchword among the depart
ment stores. Wholesale buying con-
tinues cautious, and inventories are in
good shape, with much of the slow
moving goods disposed Of. This has
stimulated orders from the wholesalers,
at least q little Normal seasonal rise,
however, has by no means mater

an irregular opening today.
" Electric Bond 81 Share was down

with United Light e. Power A and
American Gas & Electric. Pennsyl-
Vania Water & Power was of about
points and so was Consolidated Gas

with consultations rather than wages.
Pittsburgh Plate Glass exhibited a
somewhat firmer tone after weakness
in previous sessions on the halving OF
the common quarterly dividend. Recent
trends in raw cotton, which are bring
ing demands for lowered cloth prices,

Pepperell Manufacturing.
Ford Motor, Ltd. mirroring the tone
of the London market, was easier,
though Wcolworth, Ltd, common

other international utilities were vir-
tually unchanged. General Electric, Ltd,
was a shade lower.

spot on the chain store division. Parke-

pipe line group This movement had
been preceded by a semblance of
strength in such standard oils as I'M
perial OIL International Petroleum,
South Penn Oil and Standard Oil of
Kentucky.
Aluminium Co of America, one of the
few active higher-priced industrials,
was easy. The coppers failed to show
much enthusiasm over the coming con-
ference to curtail production.
Carnation Co. one of the few dairy
ing issues to appear. was shade lower.
Packing shares Jagged. Amusement
shares showed a slightly increased de-
nand. and air stocks for the most part
were lower on a small turnover.
