Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say The year now drawing to a close will be notable for its harvests, the money value o; Its farm products being computed at close to 19.0o0.000.000. a record figure. This fan forms the best possible basis for Industrial advance next year. There Is. however, little change in financial and business sentiment, which remains conservative and cautious. Ccntfnued restriction of output has not prevented steady accumulation of pig iron storks, ana tne movemeut to curtail opera. tlona la exoecteri to be carried still further. In the dry goods market the holiday trade Is shaolua un well ana re-orners lor mer chandise are going Into Jobbing houses steadily. The cotton roods and cotton yarn markela are hampered by the difficulty of setting prices commensurute with high cot ton costs, and curtailment thereof continues. While there has been some improvement of th. shoe trade, business is stli consid erably below normal for this season of the year. Prices on footwear are not strong, but no concessions of consequence are reported. as values are already low, considering the cost of production. TRADE IX HOLIDAY IJNK8 OOOD. told Weather Stimulating Sales of Winter t.oods. NEW TORK. Dec. 0. Bradtreef tomor row will say: now or rain, followed by cold westher throucbout considerable areas. have tended to stimulate aales of Winter poods and wearing apparel, while the ap proach of the holidays has helped business in specialties adapted to that season. Job bers and wholesalers caterinc to this class of business have apparently done well as a whole, replenishing ox oroKen stocks glv- seasonable roods. In regular wholesale trade, th. approach or the Inventory season made for Quietness. and Spring buying in genera, is reported of rather light volume, with conservatism still ruling trade for distant dates.
