Business prospects and trade trends praised by Dan's Review
Dan's Review reports the week ending Sept. 28 shows favorable monetary conditions and improving cotton manufacture, while iron woolen leather and silk show less progress. Railroad shipments for September are up 3.8 percent from last year but down 11.8 percent from 1892, and clearing-house exchanges are up 21.4 percent but below 1892 by 8.1 percent. The outlook looks promising, though cotton exports may shrink due to high prices despite merchandise imports remaining 30 percent above last year.

Prices under tariff reform shift as farmers face lower farm prices

Farm prices fell about 17.5 percent from Sept 1 to Sept 3, 1895, while manufactured goods barely changed.
