NEW YORK, Sept.,22.—Bradstreet's Finan- clal Review to-morrow will say: | Money continues firm, though toward the close of the week there was a relaxation ‘of the pressure which the stock market has expected during the past fortnight from this cause. The decline of exchange rates and the news that about $500,090 of gold had been engaged in Lon- don for shipment to New York caused a some- what better feeling as to the financial outlook, and the market rallied more or less from fts eariler depression. The threatening aspect of the Transvaal situation was among the bear- h factors of the week, and it is thought that while the danger of war in South Africa over- hangs the London market there is little like- lihood of any heavy gold Imports from the other side. The movement of money from New York to the interlor continues, and the bank statement of last Saturday practically wiped out the surplus reserve. Yet the money mar- ket this week, while firm, was not stringent, and though the call loan rate was firm at about 6 per cent, extreme variaticns from that level were less marked. The pressure to liquidate speculative hold- ings of stocks has at times been severe, the most significant illustrations of this _having been afforded by the course of Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the other Flower stocks In the early part of the week. The decline In prices and the reduction of the volume of loans to Wall street has naturally been a factor in as- sisting the monetary situation. - It also seems % | that stocks have been largely passing from | weak into strong hands, while the movement of the past fortnight has made bears of the pro- fessionals and resulted in the creatfon of a larger short interest than the market has pos- ‘ sessed for some time. The activity of the bears | was naturally a feature of the week, and to | manipulation of this kind some of the extreme declines may be ascribed. The covering of shorts on a large scale also contributed largely to the rallying tendency in price which began on Wednesday and assumed considerable force | in Thursday’s transactions. The public was by no means active except in reducing its mar- ginal holdings of stocks, and the market has been largely in the hands of professional oper- |ators. | “Europe’s part In the speculation here .was negative, and while London is in suspense about the Bouth African situation, no interest in American securitles is.possible. 'The favora- ble character of railroad earnings, the activity of trade and the other evidences of prosperity continue to cause a strong underlying bullish sentiment as to the future of the market. In fact, the street ftself inclines to a belfef that should the condition of the money market im- prove, a remewal of the rising - specalation would be very probable. Nor has the market | been without " bullish _developments this week The rapid advance of Delaware, Lackawanna & Western stock to 191 and the strength of the other anthracite coal properties seem to re- flect a general belief that the position of the coal trade has undergone a materfal improve- ment, while in the case of Lackawanna there are rumors of some pending developments re- garding its capital and dividends which would justify the advance. Nor are railroad dealsack- ing, the most important happening of that kind Dbelng the reported sale of large Interests in the Southern Pacific to bankers identified with the property. e e — - Bradstreet’s on Trade. @ NEW YORK, Sept. row will say: Satistactory trade and price conditions ap- parently still reign. So few, In fact, are the reports of poor trade that favorable reports may be said to be almost unanimous. An ex- panded volume of fall trade is indicated by the aggregate of bank clearings for the week, though reports from some markets point to the greatest rush being made. Prices, as a rule, maintain all thelr former strength, decreases 22.—Bradstreet's to-mor- | | ultimate effect of enhanced | time betng few and relatively unimportant. In sev- eral lines, notably cereals, cotton, petroleum. fron_and ‘steel, the tendency is favorable IO ward higher levels. Cotton has been notably strong and active. Short crop estimates :-r; becoming more generally current, and bearish cstimates of maximum ylelds have been pra¢ tically discarded, more especially as it 18 clalmed that agents of English spinners are heavy buyers at the South, and domestic man- ufacturing conditicns are known to be in a e degres tavorable. i eady demand for expor I all of the year's crop being needed have proved stimulating in the face of heavy re- ceipts and admittedly large present supplies. Possibility of war in the Transvaal, t0o, has been an additionally strengthening feature. Iron and steel are higher on a moderate volume of new business, and the steady placing of or- ders Indjcates confidence in present values well on into the middle of next year. Pig iron, how- ever, is nearer a parity with consumption. The quotations upon demand {8 not yet settled, and imports from abroad, while not likely to be of heavy volume immediately, are a feature which may have to be dealt with next vear. The scarcity of beet cattle is reflected fn still higher prices. and strength Is shown in domestic hides, which also feel the impetus of steady demand from manufacturers of leather. No signs of abate- ment in the sugar war are to be seen, price- cutting 18 active and prices are demoralized, Other groceries, however, are firm, as are most other lines, with the exception of cheese and tin, which note some easing in price from the recent advance. confidence in Moet lines of manufacturing return strikingly | £00d reports, notable n this respect being cot- ton and woolen goods. Complaints of back- ward deliveries of cotton goods are common, while in woolen goods a number of mills re- port their order-baoks filled for spring delivery and have withdrawn from the wool market. Wool is higher at London and sympathetically strong here, and expectation of a good export trade for fine grades of domestic Is enter- tained. The coal trade reflects weather and trade conditions and still further improved de- mand, and predictions are of further advances later 'in the season. Demand for lumber, though Interfered with by strikes at a number of markets! is reported very strong, and scar- city of cars and boats s reported quite general- Iy in the West. This scarcity of transporta- tion, however, fs not limited to the lumber trade, simflar reports coming from the coal and iron industries Wheat, Including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,030,765 bushels, against 4,536, 52 bushels last week, 5.224,927 bushels in the corresponding week of 1598, 5,705,525 bushels in 1897, 3,930,455 bushels in 1596 and 3,151,097 bush- els 'In 18%.

I e — NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say to-morrow: The reaction in the stock market {s not a sign of anything outside of the market, but has set many to look for signs of a reaction elsewhere. Such sizns have been hard to find. It has been for months a wonder that the de- mand for products’ was sustalned at rates ex- ceeding past consumption in any year, not- withstanding the general rise in prices. But | the demand does not appear to abate, and the rise In prices continues. A partial explanation is that scarcely any class of products directly | consumed by individuals has advanced as much | as- the wages and employment of labor. With more hands at work more hours and with 10 to 15 per cent higher wages, the gain in purchas- ing power has been quite beyond the rise of 4 per cent in boots and shoes this year, or § per cent In leather, 5.2 per cent in woolen goods, or 10.9 per cent in wool, and even bevond the rise of 17 per cent in cotton goods, mainly due to the rise of 13 per cent in cotton. But pro- ducts used fn manufacturing and transporting | have advanced much more, because of the enor- | mous increase In volume of business done and in anticipated business for the future. Higher prices cause shrinking demand, other things being equal, but this year other things are not equal. Wheat exports fall a little below last year's, but in three weeks, four included, have been 8,656,577 bushels from Atlantic ports against 9,293,381 bushels last year and 1,021,998 bushels from Pacific ports against %7961 bushels last year. Rut W §52 bushels a 9,397 bushels last vear, and even more impressive are the receipis .of 18,515,832 bushels of corn against 11,177,483 bush- els last year, and the exports of 9,201,427 bush- els against 5,943,956 last year. Prices moved little either way until Friday, when a_sharp advance made the week's gain 3c. Further Government reports have been so far accred- ited abroad that cotton has risen to 6.62c, but it comes forward more freely than in years of maximum crops. When men pay $3 and $5 per ton more than the latest quoted price for iron products in or- der to get early deliveries, it is because delay is threatened on works or raflroads or bridges, vessels or machinery, promising a net profit many times the cost of a small fraction of the material. In such circumstances. as in much .| of the reconstruction and expansion now going on, present cost counts for little compared with the earning power of the finished product in a like this. Ressemer and anthracite pig e unchanged, grey forge at Pittsburg and ricago and Southern fron are higher, bars $2 per ton higher and plates $3 per ton and ratls $1 per ton. Most of the business is for next . with premiums paid for more speedy de- ons for consolidation of Fall River cotton mills have developed a contest between those favoring local or non-local management, with a new selling arrangement announced for other plain goods as well as for print-cloths. Prices of prints have been cut one-quarter cent for indigo blues, but otherwise the demand is strong. The American Wool Company has an- nounced that the whole production of all worsted mills has been soid, which may give unexpected opportunities for other mills. Its contracts for a great quantity of machinery in- dicate a bellef that within its fleld the demand for goods will much exceed the capacity of its works. Prices have been firm, stronger. since the general advance at London. Sales at the three chief markets were 13,443,800 pounds Failures for the week have been 154 In_the United States, against 173 last year, and in Canada 15, agalnst 16 last year. — New York Grain and Produce. - .

At the start business was rather slow, but with buyers in the ma- 3 its | with wool | ority. Liverpool was up %@'%d, partly on e So0d "wpor demand at that market and rtly on the critical state of affalrs in the ransvaal. Primary receipts were large, but clearances were also heavy, and early in the sesslon @ good export business was indlcated. The main feature of the strength, however, was the elimination of the heavy selling pres- sure recently put on the market by the firm whose suspension was announced yesterday, Barrett & Farnum. A good deal of inherent strength was suggested by the great amount of wheat the market had absorbed from that source without any materlal decline, and it impressed speculators to a considerable degree, | Good buying was done by the local crowd, but outside support was also prominent, St. louis being & buyer. The strength shown by the coarse grains also made its influence felt on | wheat later in the session. Trading gradually broadened and during the afternoon was quite active, with prices steadily advancing. The market got considerably over call price and there was a good deal of selling against those privileges, but everything offered was readily absorbed.” One of the largest export houses in | New York reported more general acceptances of offers of wheat to foreign points than at any time since the Leiter deal. That many of- fers were still somewhat under the market was shown by export engagements of but thirty-two | loads. Most of the statistical news was bear- | ish, but it had little effect on the market. De- cember opened at 71%772c, sold at TI%@71%c, | advanced steadilr to 73 and closed firm and 1@1%c higher at 72%@73c. Almost nothing was done in September. Offerings were light and bhut few bids were necessary to advance the price 2. It closed at 74c. ' There was a big speculative trade in corn. Brokers were all well supplied with buying orders and prices advanced sharply, with De- cember in the lead. The cash demand was large, with foreigners accepting liberally for | shipment of the new crop. December closed %c higher. Oats followed the lead of other grains and was strong all day. December closed e up. Provisions were rather dull, but steady.
