Trade Review Indicates Brighter Prospects and Cautious Outlook
R G Dun and Co Weekly Review of Trade notes a shift from speculative excess to conservatism, with prospects for steady gains under current systems. Manufacturing in New England remains active aside from rotten mills, and fall retail demand looks strong. Rail and lake traffic show gains, grain markets stay active, and hogs and other farm products reflect shifts in store figures. Strong activity in wearing apparel in the South and widespread interior business soundness accompany continued demand for rails, bridges, and structural materials.
