NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The Evening Post's financial cablegram from London says: The stock markets here were quiet and irregular to-day. Argentines and Brazlls contnued good. Americans after a_firm opening closed decid- edly flat on New York selling. Grand Trunk was lower in sympathy. Mines were easier, but there was a -sudden Jump tn De Beers on a favorable telegram con- cerning the output. London market discount rate is 2% per cent. The decline {s mainly due to anticipation for the release of £5,000,000 in Government divi- dends of October 5. The ease may continue for a weelk or two, but probably not for long.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3).—Bradstreet's Finan- clal Review to-morrow will say: Attention has agaln been centered upon the industrial stocks, a heavy decline in American Tobacco being the in the week's speculation. Money has ceased to be a source of anxiety, the arrival of gold from Europe and the fact that the treasury disbursements are once more exceeding its receipts resulting in freer offer- ings and easier rates for some time and call loans. While the European markets showed symptoms of alarm over the political outlook in France, in China and in Egypt, London has, nevertheless, been on the whole a buyer of Americans, particulatiy of the Pacific railroad Stocks. Exchange was stronger early in the week, but though further large gold engage- ments are announced, over $00,000 specie was taken in London during the week for American account, and there are also rumors of gold shipments from Australia to San Francisco. Stgar at times rivaled Tobacco in weakness, if_not in activity, and other industrials sold off to an extent which gave support to the idea that a large manipulative interest which has made a bull ‘campaign in that group had con- | cluded that their speculative possibilities were ing as to the nature of the contemplated im. provements and the period for their final adop- tion of the announced electrical equipments aided the bears in their efforts and a sharp decline occurred on heavy offerings. Frequem feeble rallies were made, but there was n. strong support. A drive against the rubber | stocks met with unusual succes: the com- | mon losing 233 and the preferred 6. The fact | olders of investment stocks are | is that the pretty nervous over the operations of the bear cliques and when a rald s made, stop-loss or- ders come tumbling out on every half ofr. There was no definite explanation to account for the rubber slump, but the street was ready to advance plausible reasons. The recent a quisition of a rival concession apparently cul- minated an upward movement in the stock and profit taking was a natural consequence. To What extent this operation was carried and whether trade developments favored a diminu- tion of holdings-can only be inferred. Rumors that local banking institutions had discrim. inated against the stock as collateral in loans found some credence, owing to the rapidity of the break. The general railway list sagged steadily and along in the afternoon took the | Jead. Discussion of the monetary conditions | was more favorable and expectations are enter- | talned that to-morrow bank's statement will make an encouraging showing. Sugar and To- bacco commanded market attention, but there were no developments of consequence concern- ing these properties and their price ovement was of the violent up and down order, as for | some time. Toward the close the market firm- ed up In spots and ended with a falrly steady tone.

While money showed increasing ease the se- vere decline in the leading industrial naturally occasioned some temporary unsettling of loans.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trdde will say: Failures in Beptember have been about $6,000,000, and for the quarter about $22,875,000. No report covering the exact month or quarter is possible this week for a journal Which myst go to press on Friday, the 30th, but the returns indicate a smaller aggregate of faflures than in any other month in many years, except in August of this year, and smalier for the quarter than in any quarter since 18%2. In fact, excepting one quarter In that year, no other appears to have shown o smaller agsregate, unless more than ten years ago, when the volume of solvent business was very much smaller than it is now. Evidently the complete returns to be iven/next week will show that the state’of A T ver , unless in this of 18%2.

If there were not on hand commercial and mill stocks unusually large, or if manufacturing were more successful, early recovery might seem probable, but the heavy fall in material has affected the demand for goods, causing buyers to expect still lower prices for cotto: Although, there was a decline last week, good now average lower than ever before. While the stagnation in wool continues and sales are emaller than in the same month in the panic year, 1893, numerous milis have started tempor- arily in order to get out sample pleces. There has been no quotable decline {n wool and scarcely any in goods, the recent reduction having stimulated a large demdnd. The_ demand for boots and shoes seems & little better and recorded shipments have been larger than in September of any year, except the last, and larger than in any other year from January 1 to date, In the minor metals slight weakness in tin and lead does not indi- cate smalier consumption, while copper is strong at 12%c for lake and spelter strong at 4.32%c. Nickel {s higher at 35@3Sc and tin plates unchanged, in spite of the enormops in- crease in production, though the desire to push smaller works into the consolidation which now commands 114 mills, Is sald to threaten temporary decline. With pig iron firm every- where, in_gpite of the extraordinary output, and Bessemer held at $10 45 at Pittsburg, while valley producers report 330,000 tons sold for delivery before June mnext, the consumption is evidently growing. _The week’s reported contracts {nclude one for 17,000 tons of pipe from Basic steel by the Sfandard Oll Company, material for.2000 cars ordered by the Pennsylvania, structural work for tweive ordinary and - two large buildings, and heavy orders for plates, partly _ for two lake vessels and partly for " Eastern ship yards, . which have larger business than ever. ‘The demand for iron bars, owing to Increased use of steel, is in some quarters below expectation, and ship- ments are less active at Pittsburg, though the mills are full of orders. Rall producers are negotiating a compact and the usual price, $18, 1s said to be shaded in some quarters while it is pending. But car, locomotive, bridge and structural work {8 exceedingly heavy, and there are no signs of decrease in the demand. Wheat rose 2ic, but on Thursday declined sharply, closing 2e lower for the week, not- withstanding very heavy experts, amounting for the week to 4,911,022 bushels, against 5,092,- 18 bushels last year, and for four weeks to 15,011,962 bushels, against 20,661,316 last year, flour Included. The usual babel of guesses does not ghange the belief that the crop will be the largest ever grown, and while farmers through- out” the West are holding back grain largely because of low prices, the Western receipts ars now running above the extraordinary movement of a year ago, both for the week and month. Failures for the week have been 1% in the United States, agalnst 194 last year, and 1 in Canada, against 34 last year. BRADSTREET'S REVIEW. NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Bradstreet’s to-mor- row will say: Though rather quiet conditions were reported in a number of lines of trade the volume of business doing the country -over, a very heavy one, is slightly smaller, so far as bank clearings Indicate, than in September a year ago, but comparing very favorably with corresponding periods in all preceding years. While the edge appears to have been taken off the active demand for some time, noted in the West and Northwest, and the imposition of yellow fever quarantines and the low prices of cotton in the South have hurt trade in that section, there have been, on the other hand, rather better reports recelved from the lead- ing Eastern and Middle State cities, pointing to a fuller development of the long-expected fall trade. Acompanying this slight shifting of activity from one section of the country to the | other has been a continued heavy export move- ment of leading cereals, unprecedented activity in the manufacture of nearly all lines of iron and eteel and continued good reports as to gross railway earnings, comparisons in this respect, it being remembered, being made with particularly favorable conditions one year ago. Rather less pronounced strength is noticeable in the price situation. Wheat, after quite a heavy bulge early In the week on undoubtedly good_export demand, foreign buying and ner- vousness of September shorts, has quieted down slightly and prices are a few cents lower on the week, the result mainly of increased de- liveries by farmers taking advantage of the Sympathetic weakness in other cereals is like- wise noted. Pork products are lower, partly because of less favorable Southern advices. The feature of the situation in iron, steel, and, in fact, nearly all metals, is the strength of values, which reflects the unprecedentedly heavy consumption now going on throughout the country, though new business is quieter, pending progress making on orders already booked. Export trade in iron and steel is re- orted feeling the effect of the advance made n freight rates, resulting from heavy ship- ments of our cereals and other products abroad. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 5,306,879 - bushels, against 5,024,927 bushels last' week and 5,8%,246 bushels this week one year ago. the third quarter of Business failures for 1898, as reported to Bradstreet's, were the smallest for at least six years past, but be- cause of one very large fallure in September the liabilities are larger than one vear ago. For the nine months' period the total number of fallures is 8855, 10 per cent fewer than in 1597 and 21 per cent smaller than in 1596, though 19 per cent larger than In 1892. Liabilities in- volved aggregate $102,197,887, 18 per cent smaller than in 1891, but 31 per cent farger than n Fallures in the Dominion of Canada for the nine months number 1091, with aggregate la- bilities of $§7,592,510, a decrease of 26 per cent in number and of 20 per cent in labilities from last year, and are the smallest alike in number and ‘Mabllities involved for any year for at least ten years.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—The opening in wheat was at & shade under yesterday's closing price, December starting. at €2%c. There was mod- erate lquidation ‘for a time, principally by local operators, due to the lower prices and weak markets at Liverpool and Paris and to heavy receipts both here and in the Northwest. Minneapolis and Duluth reported arrivals of 1266 cars, compared with 955 a week ago, and 109 last year. Chicago receipts were 230 cars, 2 o which were of dontract grade. Outside of this, however, there was nothing in_the news to encourage selling, and after the first flurry of llquidation had passed, prices began to mend, December_recovering .to 62%@63c, from 62i@t%e, to which point it had declined shortly after the opening. There was some incentive to buying in the news which came in from the seaboard. Later cables from Liv- erpool showed @ partial’ recovery from the early decline. New York reported that ves- ferday's export sales would amount to nearly one and a quarter million bushels. Outside markets as & rule were slightly easler, but none showed weakness, Duluth quotations be- ing, in fact, a little higher. Argentine shipped no wheat this weel. Trading became excessively dull, and con- sisted mostly of evening up transactions, many of the active traders departing for Omaha to- Right for the exposition. After noon the market developed genuine weakness, partly on account atches from Liverpool confirming reports offerings. rance of the languid support the market had been receiving, but did not cause much increase in selling. Outside mar- kets all closed considerably lower for cash wheat. A visible increase of from 70,000 to 1,000,000 bushels was looked for. Atlantic port cleatances of wheat and flour amounted to 706,- 000 bushels. The market was at its weakest near the ciose, closing at about %ec down.
