TRADE IN THE FARMING STATES. IT IS BETTER THERE THAN MANUFACTURING SECTIONS. The circular of Henry Clews, under date of New York, November 6 say “*Qutside of political Influences the conditions bearing upon the investment and speculative interests are very generally hopeful. Representations from the West are especially so. Merchants here from that section seem to have caughbt & boom- ing tone and are full of hopeful expectations. The industries of that section seem to be in @ much more prosperous state than those of e Eastern and Middle States, the tendency apparently belng to produce at home more of artzles which have hitherto been supplied from the manufacturing sections. The ease of money in the agricultural States is sometbing markable for this season of the year. At some of the centers the rate of Interest is even lower than at New York. This is In a large measure attributab to the unusual amount of money that has n distributed rough the importa- tions of gold and to the expansion of the bank clreulation attendant on the issues of bonds in connection with the war loan Squally, haps, the ease is a sequence of the large liquidations of farm mortgages from the Pro- ceeds of the liberal ylelds and higher prices for grain derived from the crops of last year and this; the result of which is to swell the idle balances of banks and produce & flush condition in financial circles. affairs at the West is likely to cause an im. portant rease, hence forth, in the deposits of the interior banks with their agents in this city; and it would not be surprising if the con- sequences s uld appear an extraordinary expansion of the New Y reserves and very Jow rates of interest during the winter months. "I quite likely that between now and B )00 busnels of wheat may January 1 some be shipped to Europe; and a large portion of the proceeds may under the Western condi- tions above spectfied, be expected to remain in this city on balance. It would seem probable thaf the extraordinary outflow of wheat has readhed its climax. Last week's export orders show a marked falling off. That may be in some measure due to the very high rates for ocean freight incident to the current heavy export movement; but, at the same time, the yecent large additions to European stocks are calculated to check the export demand until the farmers have made some concession from the recently advanced prices.” WEATHER REPORT.

WILLSON, Local Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Prices surged upward on the stock exchange to-day with what can only be adequately described as a rush and a roar. It was a day of furious activitv through- out In all departments and the closing was at boiling point and at the best prices of the day. The greatest interest and activity was shown In the rallroad securities of all classes &nd nearly all of those which were traded in ehow st least 1 per cent higher for the stock The majority /show gains of between 1 and 2 per cent. This rate of increase raised to between 2 and 8 per cent In the case of Atchison preferred, Rock Island, Baltimore and Ohio, Denver and Rio Grande preferred, Union Pacific preferred, St. Panl and Omaha, C., C., C. & St. L. and some of the specialties. The Oregon Naviga- tion stocks, both common and preferred, show gains of 4 per cent. The industrials and other spectalties fell into the background, both rela- tively and absolutely, and were almost totally neglected until the later dealings. Sugar, Brooklyn Transit and Illinois Steel stocks then sprang Into activity and scored substantial ad- vances near the close. In the case of some stocks high record prices were made to-day and In the case of many others the high price of the year was approximated. Atchison prefer- red, Northern Pacific and Union Pacific stocks reached their record prices to-day. There can be no doubt that the strength of the market is attributed to the feeling of relief that the unsettling doubts and uncertainties over the election are a thing of the past and the confi- dence that the generally prosperous condition of the country is sure to assert itself and lift prices to a higher level. There was a spirit of ebounding optimism abroad and everything was ignored but the most favorable incidents in the outlook. The marked falling off in the export demand for wheat and the resulting fall In prices no effect. The unfavorable con- ditions of the trunk line _situation which caused declines for New York Central and Pennsylvania in London received no attention and the prices of those stocks were advanced over a point. B. & O. rose 2% and Norfolk and Western preferred was at one time up 3%. Reports from the iron trade of a drift toward & lower range of values, which might ordin- arily be e d to have a marked effect on the stock market, were passed unnoticed. St. Paul's first week's statement, although it show- ed an increase of over $21,600, was much less striking than some of that road’s recent re turns which have passed unnoticed, yet there was an eager demand for all the grangers, which made the group the leaders of the mar. ket in point of activity. The Atchison securi- ties held foremost place and all of them ad- vanced strongly, the preferred rising 2% per cent with a stock issue of over $120,00,000 to move. Northern Pacific preferred more than redeemed its quarterly dividend and Union Pa- cific preferred was heavily bought, both for home and foreign accounts. London buying was again a marked feature, and commission house business was on an enormous scale, fair- Iy taking away the market from the hands of the traders, and eating up all offerings to take profits witheut appreciable check to the day's continued advance. The day’s business in bonds holds the record In the volume of transactions. All classes of mortgages were in demand but the reorganiza- ion issues continued the favorites. There was, owever, a_generally distributed business inhigh rade bonds and many speculative issues were Prought forward in the movement. Total sales, $10,045,000.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—The Evening Post's financial cablegram says: here opened quiet but steady to firm on Pre- mier Salisbury’s speech last night, which was well liked. The markets improved as the day went on andled by strong buying from the Continent, all the markets developed great strength. This strength was most conspicuous in Amer- icans, which, in addition to the New York sup- port. were bought largely by German division and house cliques on a general stock exchange | tip to buy Americans on the Republican vic- tory with the possibility that attention will | now be given to the currency question. Prices closed at the top. Grand Trunk was strong on good traffic reports. The boom in copper shares continues.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Wheat started weak. Opening transactions were at 66%@66%c, com- pared with yesterday's closing price of 86%@ 66%c, and a further slight decline soon oc- curred, several small lots changing hands at 66%c. The trade was under the influence of Liverpool. That market was quoted %d lower and advices from there attributed most of the decline to the peaceful tone of Lord Salisbury's speech last night. Traders there had been ex- pecting something entirely different, and with the strain relieved prices naturally dropped. New York reported a small demand from for- eigners for American wheat, but this was looked for, It being known that with no Eu- ropean cloud above the buying on that side would be confined to current wants. Up to 11:30 o'clock the trading was excessively dull. There was some buying against puts, and this and_more of the valuable seaboard advices as to the foreign demand sustained prices. Cables announcing closing quotations abroad, how- ever, knocked the pinning from under the mar- ket ‘and the prices dropped in a hurry. A &0 centime decline in American wheat at Antwerp, equivalent to 2%c per bushel, started free sell- ing, the price of May tumbling to 65%c before it was discovered that the reported Antwerp decline wes an error. The market stiffened up a trifie after that, but scon weakened again The stock markets | | @ | Closing Sales included No. 2 red | Joms 11 jeonouse has, | pretty much absorbed by seeders.

Kansas Clty reported a sale of 100,000 bushels of wheat 5%c below the Chicago price, sald to be & greater discount than has previously ruled this se son, and knocked the enthusiasm out of bu ers. December lost 1@1%c. Corn was dull and 'lower. Recelpts were heavy, notwithstanding bad weather, and cables were lower. The trade had also in mind the Government report due to-night, expected to be bearish. There was considerable liquidation by scattered longs and prices ruled lower from the start.

CALIFORNIA RAISINS IN NEW YORK none NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—The Journal of Com- merce says: The announcement of an advance of %c per pound in the price of California Mus- catel raisins, which was made by the Cali- fornia Raisin Growers' Association on Satur- day last, applying to all shipments after that date, has caused a much better feeling in the spot market, though it has led\to no actual advance in price here and seems to have checked the demand. The spot market is sald to be more poorly supplied than usual at this season, not only with layers and clusters, but with_ordinary loose goods, and while arrivals are freer now than for some weeks past most of the goods received are understood to be go- ing directly into consumption on orders placed 014 fruit that had been held we are informed, been goods a demand for several weeks past has been active and local seeders have been com- pelled to work day and night to Keep up with their orders and are still behind with deliveries. More confidence in the ability of the Ralsin Growers’ Association to maintain prices is ex- pressed by Eastern handlers of this fruit, par- ticularly in view of the fact that the output of etandard raisins seems to be turning out less than was expected.

The celebrated roadbed was stud- ded with dlamonds and hundreds of val- ble gems were taken from it. A ped- dler, thirty years ago, while hawking his wares from farm house to house, found a shining stone by the wayside, and thinking it might be of some value sent it to a geologist, who at once recog- nized it as a fine diamond. That was the beginning of the great Kimberly dia- mond mines. New Moon. November 13. First Quarter, et B ovemver 3 Full Moon. NOTICE TO MARINERS.
