New York. Nov. 9.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Burinces baa been wfitltlrvg the greater part of the past week, and (the elections nre ex pected 'to give a ahum stimulus. Wheth er men nre right or wrong In expecting potter things, .t.ho fact that they expect, them does tend ito make things better. Thus, a larger volume of trade might tbe an.ttdoa.ted, although no political •vents can alter #he size of Hie corn crop nor make the rlenulmd for wheat or cotton closer to the supply. Neither can fhb election returns alter tihe tariff, and Jf an Induslr.v wns nffeoted by It, favorably or unfavorably, the situation Is exactly the same «« before the people voted, at least for some time to come. But It is fair Ho Infer that further mod ifications of tho tariff are rendered less probable by tho election* of Tuesday. In ithe speculative markets there has been scarcely tiny movement, and noth ing favorable to holders.
