' NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-R. G. Dun ft Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will aay: Industrial and commercial progress la low, but none the less definite. Low temperature and some Injury to crops pro vide the only adverse Influence of the week and this has little effect on manufacturers and traders, who have started to prepare for Increased business. Buyers of dry goods, clothing and millinery are notably active In placing orders and other staple lines also feel the effect of gradually ex panding confidence. Even If the official orop estimates of September 1 have to be mod erately reduced because of bad weather since that date, there is full compensation to growers In enchanced prices, and the strength of securities indicates the faith of the financial world. Many mills and fur naces have resumed business because of new ordero or adjustment of wade scales, and prloes are steadier in most cases, with a general advance In footwear.- It U not unusual to hear- fall trade spoken of as fully aqua) to last year's, although collec- ' Jions are not as prompt at several cities. Freight traffic blockades are not as fre ' quent as they were at this time In 18(S, . yet there la occasional complaint, and earnings In September were 6.V0 per cent larger than a year ago. It Is not yet possible to repdrt any mate rial expansion In the demand for steel prod uct aa a result of new price lists. Disap pointment has been experienced by those who looked for an immediate rush of orders, yet the business Is undoubtedly Coming forward, seveaal departmenta pre paring for activity In a manner that de notes great confidence In the future. Sev eral large orders for foundry and forge , pig Iron nave been placed while other con tracts are still pending. a Evidence that buyers are becoming ap prehensive regarding the scarcity of cotton f oods tends -to encourage the feeling1 that he mills will soon be called upon for lib. oral shipments. Yet the present condition of this Industry is no stronger. In the woolen division there was decided Improve ment In dress goods and fair duplicate orders were received In other lines. Foot wear manufacturers are still receiving sup plementary orders for lata fall shipments and plants nre in full operation, as a rule, while producers are securing slightly higher firloes. At the easier terms there has sp. eared a liberal demand for Chicago packr ildes. fully 100,000 being sold during the ( week. No recovery in price Is noted, how ever, and. foreign dry hides are barely steady. Leather Is selling more freely, all lines showing Improvement, except glased kid, of which the output Is being curtailed. Failures this week amounted to Hi In tt-.e United States, against tit last year and U In Canada, compared with If a year ago. SIRAOSTRJSET'I REVIEW OP TRADE Teadeaey Is for Improvemeat Aloag; Conservative Mass. HlfiW YORK, Sept. U.-Bradstreets to morrow will, say: . While there are diverse movements In dumestlo and foreign trade the tendency as a whole Is for Improvement along con servative lines. Buoyancy In the stock market, possibly manipulated, and the strength of cereal prices are factors stim ulating to trade, but the advance of the fall season -with cooler .weather In some sections and the prospect of good returns to the agricultural Interests despite the heay shortage In the wheat yield are all elements tending to encourage buying. The feeling iu many lines is that as the Season advances and the corn crop situa tion beooruea clearer, the need of additional re-orders will result in a fair volume of trade, comparing better with fall business A year ago than did last spring's trade with the corresponding period of lnuj. Hallway earnings reflect a heavy traffic, roads already reporting indicating a gain of 14 per cent over last August and the best ever recorded for that month. Telegrams to Hradstreels Indicate a fair axpanslon In western trade, though buy iut friM th sera-growing eoUuus U still cautious. Trade Is brisker af ti early all Pacific coast points, though Ban Fran cisco wholesale trade la rather smaller than expected. Southern trade advices are best from the section eaat of the Missis sippi. At the eaat Jobbing trad In dry goods has Improved at Boston and some rush orders for shoes are noted, but shipments as a whola for the year are 8 per cent behind a year ago. Demand for dry goods at New York Is hardly vp to seasonable expectations as yet. although a good bus iness Is doing. Higher prices for spring weight woolens are announced, based upon the strength of the raw material, which Is Armly held with an upward tendency, the statistical position being a strong one, The Iron and steel industry likewise be trays Irregularity. There Is a better tone In raw materials generally, though prices are - cot notably changed. Resumptions of finishing mills and furnaces are numerous, but against this are to be noted shutdowns of leading harvesting concerns and car building Interests. Reductions in prices ot finished steel have brought forth little new business at the east, but plates and struc tural material are reported selling better at the west. Wheat.
