A MARKED IMPROVEMENT.
The IStulneft* Outlook («eneralljr Um m
Brighter Appciarance.
New York, Sept. 29.— R. G. Dun St
Co.'s weekly review of trade says today:
Kotnll trade, the last step in tho rndvo
mont from producer to ounBumer, is at tho
same tlmo the first stop upon which de
pend ompty sholvos In tho stores and fu
ture ordors to tho mills. After mouths
of unnatural economy, buying should be
lnrgo enough to send tho mill* further
ordors very soon. Special inquiry lias boon
made this wook at nil commercial contors
regarding tho state of retail trndo, and
many answers wore glvon.
Wide divorslty appear* In different
trades, and tho details of business nt tho
different cities merit general attention.
Tlio main facts disclosed are, first, a
marked improvement within the post
month and a considerable excess over busi
ness done a year ago, particularly in tho
necessaries of life. Hut, second, lt appears
that tho volume of trade at present is on
the wholo considerably less than in a nor
mal year at most points, and In tho more
Important trades Is apparently about 80
per cent smaller than In .September, D4U3.
Evidence of continued Improvement in
wholesale trndo and manufacture doos not
appear this week. There Is largo distribu
tion on orders given somo time ago, but.
now business going to tho manufacturers
is everywhere slackening. Tho comple
tion of ordors for replenishment of stocks
leaves a narrow demand, ami it is yet too
early for consumption to provide furthur
ordors
Tho volume of business rejiorted by clear
ings at tho chief cities Is (1.9 per rent larg
or than lust year, but 81.8 por rent loss
than ln 1H92, and for tho month of Sep
tember tho dally average has been $134,
000,000, against $123,000,000 last year be
fore recovery from the panic had corn« and
$177,000,000 in 1892. As these lncludo
paymonts resulting from trade deferred
during months ot uncertainty, the com
parison is but moderately encouraging.
