Paris started 10 centimes lower, but tha. market closed at an advance of 10 centimes while Ant- w. rp gained 25 centimes. A cablexram s ated that there were good prospects of a reduction of francs in the duty on French wheat. This was disputed later, but In the meantime it had caused December to jump to #914c. Chicago received 269 cars, only 12 of them con- trac, Minneapolis and Du uth receipts were 496 cars against 1143 the corresponding day of the yesr before. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were equal to abont 800,000 bushels. Primary market receipis were 1,538,579 busbels, compared with 1,019,197 bushels the simllar day | or last year.

At & number of cen- ters special rate excursions of merchants have assisted the week’s volume of business, notwith- standing the intervention of a holiday. Specula- tive interest an! the strength of wool remain features of that market.

NEW YORE, N. Y, Sept. 10 —R. G. Dun & ing effurts and lack of usual exp.ri intersst. Merchandise. Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade in its issue to- morrow will say: There is no halting In the advance. Business grows better inall ways, for NEW YORK, N. Y., “ept. 10.—Flour receipts, | while its speculative end breaks conspicuous gaablers fora decline, & steady incr-ase in pr motfon, working force and the power of the peoile 10 purchase is :he feature which over- shadows all others. Reports of New York trade unions show an increas- since one year ago of 34 ver cent in the number of men at work snd a similar increase smong men iu like positon throughout the country would exceed 3:0,000, while every week adds many establishments to the active list. The coa-miners’ strike has disclosed such facts and bros ht to fight such diffarences that work will probably b: very soon resumed by a large share of the men. The farmers are heiped by nigher prices 1or wheat,and while Western re- ceipts do not show thal they have marketed a tenth of cro} 5, an assurance of hand some Profit to come prepares hem to buy liberal.y hereafter. Because of this and the increase of bands a: work, dezlers throughout ths country have star.ed to replenish stocks, which s the great forcs at p.esen: operaling in manu actures and trade, though distribution by retail trade has greatly increased. A galn of 12 per cent in one month in the out- put of pig irou from 165378 tons - ugust ito 185,507 -eptember 1, with knowledge that ha'f & dozen other furnaces ace preparing to resume end the unsold stucks hav- been reduced 14,400 tous weekly in August, indicating & consumption of about 190,000 tons’ more, explains the mouderate advauce in prices of finished products Pig iron is a shade stronger at_Cbicago, but the proof that the advance Is hesithy is tound in the growing demands of consumers, especially for bars, with inquiries for 300,000 tons 1 ported at Chicago for structural work, including 1-,000 tons for Santa Fe bridzes, 1or all sorts of car ma eris!, including 10.000 axivs, and for plates, especially for ship- yards ou the lakes, so that most prices have ad- ‘vanced $1 per ton. Copper is steady and lead s shade stronger at 8415 and the production of coke has reached 124,000 tons, with 12,717 oveas in operation. Wheat has'risen 5 cents the past week, not in a flurry. but in answer to the daily increasing for- eigndemand Though reports of the crop, now almost wholly out of danger, indicate a yied never surpassed but once, forelgn accounts still streugthen the belief that the deficiency abroad wouid be about 100,000,000 bushels more than usual, and mesnwhile reports indicaie that less corn than was expected wili be avaiiable for ex- port, its price has risen about 55 of & cent. While wheat receipts st Chicago have been break- ing records, recelpts at all the Western poluts are for the week & _little below last year’s, but Atiantic exports. 9,778,138 bushels, flour included, against 4,270,755 ixst year for two weeks, with 5,679,771 bushels corn, agalnst 8,570,704 last year, | dicate a foreign de- mand apparently limited at present only to ship room. With enormous speculative sales of wool, which appear 1o constitute most of the market at Boston, there is also more buying there and elsewbere by the woolen mills, which are enjoying extraordi- nary demand for goods at prices averag ug not 10 per cent higher than was paid early in the y The average advance for the week in sureiies had been $112 per share for raiiroads and 79c for truats. Failures for the week have been 215 in the United States, azainsi 315 iast year,and 56 1u Canada, against 47 last year. BA NEW YORK, N.
