REVIEW OF TRADE.
t
Demand for Alt Products Continues
Immense- Scarcity of Coke Close
Many Blast Furnaces.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly rteview of
Trade says: Speculation waits upou
politics, but legitimate business i not
disturbed by the approaching; elec
tion. New labor controversies have
been promptly settled by advancing
wages, and the gradual improvement
in the supply of coal has reduced
prices ami restored activity In manu
facturing. Compluinu are Increasing
as to the tardy movement of freight,
miles of cars being stalled by the
lack of motive power, and many roads
re-fuse to accept further shipments
until the blockade nre relieved. Low.
or temperature has stimulated retail
sales ef seasonable merchandise, but
frost comes too late to seriously In
jure agricultural products. Liberal
e onsiihiplion stu-iinins quotations In
most lines, domestic dc mantis being
supplemented by larga export. Oper
ating expenses of the railways havo
increased in many cases to such a de
gree that ne-t earnings are somewhat
curtailed, but gross earnings for Oc
tober thus far exceed last year' by
4.7 per ce-nt and those of l'loo by 13."
per cent. Undue significance Is at
tached to the announcement that tho
Frlck Company will not advance next
year's price for coke above $3. Al
though this is in line with other con
seri'Uive efforts of lending interests
to prevent Inflated prii'es. the prob
able influence 011 tho outside market
will not be great, as the hulk of out
put will go to the plants of the United
States Steel Corporation. Meanwhile
salts are row being mude at $lil In
extreme rases, and the scarcity ha
closed more blast furnace. Tho
future courso of the Iron and steel in
dustry will be largoly influenced by
this fuel shortage, much business be
ing perv.anently lost to noma pro
ducers, and price- In some depart
ments already show the effect of dis
organized conditions. Railway need
have not diminished, numerous large

pressure for locomotive i causing
large premiums to be offered. Struc

building are next Iu point of urgent
demand. Agreement on the tin plate
wage scale may secure a lot of busi

and some reduction In price is ex
