NEW YORK, Oct. 7.R. 0. Don ando's. Weekly Review of Trade for this>eek says:It Is an economic phenomenon thatbe highest prices of modern times,'hfle causing natural hesitancy in certinquarters, fall to check the growthf business. Costs In many lines, inpite of the previous extensive adance,are still rising steadily and inorae cases rapidly, yet each week thelagnltude of demand, continuing aftertonths of unprecedented buying, beomesmore noteworthy.There is not an industry of any imortancein which orders, followingtuch less than the customary summerbandonment, are not again increasig.and If In some branches the exansionis limited It is principally beauseof the inability or disincllnaonof manufacturers to commit themalvcsfurther. Nearly all of the worksiroughout the country are coveredy contracts extending well Into theiture and the chief problem confronttgproducers, as it has been for someme is the question of making deliv-nes witn tne desired promptness.Distribution at retail varies with the'e&ther. but maintains a high averge.and even in the region whererop results have been disappointingonsumption does not appreciably lessnbecause of the advanced prices forirm products compensate for the diilnishedharvests. With the Governmentreport indicating further deterlortion,cotton has risen to the highest)vel since 1910 and of the 101 changes1 the 331 commodity quotations reglariycomplied by Dun's Review SO'ere gains and 21 losses this week.
