Steady Increase in Percentage of Idle v Machinery and the Number of Idle tars cwumcs iiraduai increase in Retail Trade, New York. Sept, 4. -It. O. Dan U Company's weekly review of the trade will say to-morrow: . - The steady decrease In percentage of Idle machinery apd the number of Idle freight cars swells the amount or money distributed among- wags earners and gradually increases the Volume of retail trade. As Stocks of merchandise In the, stores of re tailers become depleted, there is store confidence regarding the future and contracts are made covering deliver les up to the end of the year, but conservatism still 'dominates the sit uation and many plans will not ma terialize into anything tangible until the election uncertainty Is removed two months hence. Cotton mills still curtail their output, but other leading manufacturing Industries are gradually increasing their output and the fortnightly statement of idle freight cars shows a decrease. Lla billties of commercial failures In Au gust would have compared favorably with those of the same month laM year, but for three large suspensions, one of which was speculative ana had no effect on legitimate business. Pig Iron production has made fur ther progress, fewer furnaces offering concessions in prices as the aemana Improves and Southern companlef are able to extend operations since the collapse of the coal miners' strike n the Birmingham (liHtrici. severai idle furnaces are preparing to reaumo next week. A better undertone Is beeinnlng to appear in the primary marnei ior cottons, although buying Is confined to pot goods that are taken only as ac tuallv needed. Local jobbers have aone a miie better of late. Kill The , Merchants & Parmeris liaffoal Bank Mr. Patterson's) Body 'Still TJnre. -ore-red. Special to The Observer. . Y Klnston, Bent. 4.
