Dun’s Review of Trade. * NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s ‘Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say With reasonable promptness business is re- covering both activity and tone and fortunate- ly without the sharp nise in general pri. whick was seen in the #pring and which was followed by a sudden und serfous transi lon to a more natural range. Manufactured goods are rising In response (o a better demand from dis- tributing scurces helped at the end of the week by the more sspsomable weather. Buminess is not vet what .t was on the top of the wave cf industrial prosperity, but this working is fast increasing. The ordinary measures of business reflect operations at all points, hut the textile markets are at the point of least re- sponse to the improved undertone of trade. Recital of conditions in the iron and steel market has become a monotoncus repetition. Each week there is the same record of mctivity #0 generally distributed that everything from the raw material to the finished broduct en- joys a share. There is also the same freedomn from speculative accumulation In anticipation of fancy prices that has been for weeks the most encouraging feature. Rallroad companies compete for rolling stock. Export orders in eore lines are filled with difficulty, owing to the unusual domestic demand for all forms of trof and steel products, but in no quarter is thefe any unreascnable inflation of prices such as Was scen during the meteoric ascent last year. In a few descriptions prices on export orders are shaded to hold the business. Two factors militate strongly against activity and strength in wool and woolens. ~Mild weather has been the chief adverse infuence, reducing sales far below a normal volume in this vicinity, while liquidation of embarrassed concerns threatens to throw a considerable quartity on the market at forced sales. In the light of these disquieting features it is not sur- prising that sales of wool at the three chief Eastern markets declined to 5,354,331 pounds, against 8,352,000 pounds in the week preceding and 19,670,392 pounds a year ago. Hides con- tinue to rise regardless of the largest arrivals of cattle at Chicago in many years. Failures for the week were 238 in the United States, against 191 last year, and 29 in Canada, against 22 last year.

Paris was lower and New York declined Ilc. Chicago was weak, as lower cables depressed the market. Selling by commission houses was | heavy and London was also a heavy seller. St. Louts likewise realized heavily. This week's | Argentine shipments were reported at 656,000 | bushels, against 560,000 on the same week last year. A San Francieco house cabled to Chi- cago: ““Why does not wheat advance?’ and received the following answer: ‘‘Wheat does not advance because stock is piling up all the | time. St Louts, for example, has the largest quantity in her history; the visible supply of the world is 8,000,000 bushels more than at this time last year, and supplies afloat and in store are more than liberal. This load | is hard to lift until consumption overtakes the supply at terminal points.” This answer | tells the story of the current depression. In this market futures were again off, but shipping_quotations remained unchanged. Spot_ Whear—Shippins. ¥7kc: Milins. 3@ 102% per ctl. CALL BOARD SALES.
