E Remarkable Progress in the Iron and Steel Industry. DRY GOODS TRADE GAINING Demand for Footwear Sliows Im provement Reports From All -, Other Lines Are More Than Satisfactory. NEW YORK. Nor. S. R. G. .Dun & Co.'. Weekly Review of Tade tomorrow will ay? Without exception the reports of trade, both wholesale and retail, in all parts of the coun try, are. more than satisfactory and hold out the promise for 1910 of a year of unequaled business. What this means, expressed in al most inconceivable' flpures. is that'fiie United States is increasing its wealth at. a rate'never before achlAei.. . Neither the high prevail ing; prices nor the discussion of disputed econ omic policies seem in any way to shake confi dence or check the industrial progress. The remarkable progress in iron and steel is maintained and In October all previous records as to the amount of actual business booked were surpassed? In' practically every division orders are received In heavy volume and many millsi are falling steadily behind in deliveries. Bookings by the steel companies are especially large and some important con tracts are pending. ' There is a further large gain In the move ment of dry gonds. The removal of restric tions in purchasing is particularly noticeable in some of the larger retail centers. Efforts are directed In worsted, cotton and eilk man ufacturing eerresrs to prevent accumulation of high-cost goods not covered by contracts. The demand for footowear shows further Improvement and tho price question is less of a disturbing factor. Sile leather continues in active demand and business Is heavy. Dry hides continue to advance, with common va rieties bringing extreme figures. Prices' are strong for all lines. ACTIVITY IS WIDESPREAD.'

Closing Tone Is Decidedly Wekk. Equipment Companies Not Affect ed by Better Trade Reports. NBW YORK. Nov. 5. Steel fell into th background in the atork speculation today and tli volume, of the whole market suffered ac cordingly. There was some shift of specu lative preference back in the rid favorite. Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and Reading, hut the market, on the whole, relapwi Into one of specialties and was sjiven over to some what erratic movements. 4The Pennsylvania securities. Including the stock and convertible bonds, showed further depression as an exprewlon of the unfavorable view taken of the offerings- of new stock at par to .stock holder. The semi-annual divi dend of 3 per cent came off the price of Penn sylvania today, increasing the appearance of depression. The' muney market was tranquil, but the situation wai the subject of active discussion. From abroad came renewed intimations of the possibility of an advance to 0 per cent in the minimum discount rates, both of the Bank of England and of the Imperial Bank of Ger many. Foreign exchange rates yielded, but recovered briskly. Forecasts of the weekly currency movement indicated a slight offset f the loss in cash on Sub-treasury operations. The net decline in the cah holdings of the, banks for the week appears to be In the neighborhood of $3,500,000. A good deal of talk was heard of the sup posed negotiations tor a closer combination, of the leading; copper interests. Amalgamated Copi-er! however, was freely sold, in spite of assertions of the gnod quality of the buying of the stick. The railroad equipment stocks offered an example of the effects of profit taking without any change In the nature of the good trade reports affecting those com panies. The exports of wheat. Including flour, for the week reached 5,3f7.4o6 bushels, an In crease over last week of nearly 1,200,000 NEWR CORDS IDE bushels. The closing tone was decidedly weak. Bonda were irregular, with most of the activity in convertible issues, which were weak. Total salea, par value, 15.014. 000. United States bonjis unchanged on call. . ' CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
