The extreme rates for | laans of 20 to 40 per cent recorded on Monday and Tuesday last were unnacessary. In fac . there has been some discussion as to whether gnch figures were not the result of manipula- tlon. Yet it is evident from the bank state- ment yublished Thursday, September 28, just before the market entered on the two days’ recess for the Dewey reception, as well as from the known movement of money to the interior, that the banks were still losing cash and were cbliged to ccntract the volume of thelr call loans to the street. Tax payments in New York City and other October disbursements also necessitated an extra amount of disturbance of loans and there consequently was not a little pressure resulting in many borrowers being forced to pay from 10 to 15 per cent for ac- casiest terms obtainable. Nevertheless, the murket bocames less disturbed as the balances were readjusted, and by Thursday 12 per cent was the extreme for the time loan market, and content to'accept 3 to 5 per cent at the end of the day, and on Friday the extremes were 5 to & per cent. Both the money and stock markets have been to some extent influenced by the rise ir the Bank of England rate to 5 per cent, which with the firmness of the London open money market and the financial pressure which is shown in Germany rendered further fmme. diate importations of gold improbable, if not imposeible. Relief from this source being cut off, discussion of the domestic financial situa- ticn does not develop signs favorabie to the resiorgtion of the decided ease in the New York loan market. The activity of trade and the vrosverity of the country, it is held, will keep mevey in clrculation during the autumn and early winter, when, under ordinary cir- cumstances it would begin to return to New York as s0on as the crop movement was well under way. It, therefore, seems that the stock market must resign itseif to a high if not a etringent money market, In which § per cent will be the minimum for both call and time loans. In spite of this tendency and of the disposition of professional traders to press the market for sales, prices have behaved well, and after a pretty general, though far from severe, | decline in the early part of the week, a dull, irregular recovery set in on Wednesday. This was partly in sympathy with the improve- ment at London. It was, however, noticeable that most of the purchasing here was by the bears, and represcnted the covering of thelr £hort contracts. In fact, one of the features of market to provide any appreciable liquidation of long stock. Meantime apart from the dearer money market nearly all the circumstances bearing on stock values continue to be favor- able, and this activity and prosperity of trade naturally creale a certain feeling of confidence in the future of the market. The volume of trading for the week has been smaller than usual, and the international yacht race has diverted the attention of a consider- able scction of the Wall-street professional element from the market. On Friday the mar- ket developed a good deal of strength on fur- ther favorable influence and from London. — o Bradstreet's on Trade. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: Distributive trade, while smaller at some markets, s still of encouraging volume, industry is active, rallway earnings heavy, prices still tend upward and bank clearings increase, while fallures lessen. Fall festivals and otber celebrations at several citles have had an appreciable effect upon retafl and proved a stimulating factor in wholesale lines. Industrial activity 1s widespread and strikes are fewer and less costly than in most years. Though lessened by holidays, bank eclearing: swelled partly by heavy October disbursemen and partly by general business expansion, tend to enlarge as the season advances. Busine: faflures are apparently at a minimum and lia- Dilities are certainly less costly than for many years past. Prices as a whole manifest aj gressive strength. Farm products are especially prominent in this direction, the South's great- est staple, cotton, owlng to short crop, ad- | | record never ‘before approached, | Other 1 | that wheat continue Yances, and owing to active gpeculation, leading in gutent of kaln with an advance of nearly 3c for the week, of nearly 2c as compared wit & year ago and of guite 214c as compared with the ;gw Water prices touched in the season of Iron und steel hold all their old strength, the former on heavy buying at Pittsburg and fur- ther West, while large quantities of steel rails have been'bought by leading railroads, and fur- ther hcavy business is under consideration. Export trade in Southern iron has almost ceased, and there is talk of relmporting some already shipped. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 5,135,338 bushels, against 3.872,- 465 bushels, revised, last week, 517,224 bush- els in the corresponding week of 1898, 4,823,461 bushels in 187, 4,030.772 bushels in 1896, and 2,244,338 bushels in 150, Since July this season, the exports of wheat aggregate 55,699,413 bushels, agal 52,498,121 bushels last year and 60,080,412 bushels in 1897-98. & Dun’s Review of Trade. ( NEW YORK, Oct. 6—R. G. Dun & Co. weekly review of trade will say: The grand demonstration in honor of Admiral Dewey effectually stopped business of most kinds for two days at the chief city of the country and yet the remaining transactions of the week would have excited wonder a year ago. At New York, where the interruption was greatest, pavment through clearing-houses ex- ceeded $1,058,000,000 in four businees days, a and outside New York the gain reflects a_great expansion in the volume of that kind of business which does not depend on exchanges. It has been a week of remarkable monetary changes here and eleewhere. The Bank of England ralsed its rate 1 per cent before and a half more after its weekly statement, from 3% to §_per cent, with the” hope that ‘the outgo to New York might be checked, but the Bank of Germany lost also. Germany lost also and raised its rate to 6 per cent and the Bank of France lost heavily. While high rates were pald here for money required in speculation no stringency embar- rassed any branch of legitimate business and the stock market has held up surprisingly. With such business as the great steel companies are | dolng 1t fs not strange that their stocks are | firmly held. There have been heavy sales of rails deliverable next year, $33 being fixed as the price after consultation, and about 250,000 tons, fairly divided between Eastern and West- ern works, were sold. For their protection the great companies bought billets in large quan- titles, for which it is said $35 was paid by some, and of Bessemer pig nearly 200,000 tons, the Federal Steel Company taking 110,000 and Pitts- burg works taking advantage of old options. arge rail contracts are expected soon, ¢espectally those of the Pennsylvania. Plate Wworks seem to be gaining little if any on their orders and bar mills are crowded as ever, while the renew mille causes more active buying. But while Bessemer pig rose 2 cents and greyforge at Pittsburg declined 50 cents, finished products were not changed, excepting another rise of 15 cents per keg in cut nails, and there is reported some disposition to hold' back orders because of the general rise in prices The Wool market is strong with sales of 10,382,152 pounds at three markets, prices being maintained, although the advance at London has been cked. After advancing about 2 cents, wheat declined sharply, uncertainty in the Transvaal being used by speculators as excuse for the fluctua- tion. The closing price is unchanged with At- lantic exports of 3,562,062 bushels, flour included, an:}lr_\ 2.864.033 last year, and Pacific exports of 397,502 bushels, against 702,414 last year. With it 15 noted that corn exports were aiso 2,992,232 bushels for the week, against 2,531,002 last the price rising 1 cent. It seems not strange firm and Western receipts .1 bushels for the week, against 10,539,359 last vear. The merchandise exports from New York have been In four weeks §31,202.622 in value, against $32.745,4%4 last vear, jvhich, with the Increase in manufactured exparts in cotton exports from gther points, insures an enormous outgo for Sfpl(-m)mr. while the increase in imports at New York has been about $9.500,000 in value, apparently not enough to reduce the excess of €Xports for the month below $30,000,000. — . , New York Grain and Produce. i NEW YORK, Oct. 6, —FLOUR—Receipts, 23,- 061 barrels; exports, 20,610 barrels.

Liverpool fafled to show the ad- vance expected in view of the war rumors and the effect was distouraging to the bulls. The market opened e under vesterday's close; December at 13%@73%c, and May at 764@ T6%c. Reports of large Argentine shipments were also an influence tending to weaken the market. An Increase of 1,200,000 bushels in the stocks at Minneapolis and Duluth was re- ported and Snow in his report estimated the crop of wheat at 564,000,000, considerably over the Government estimafe. With these items before them the longs began to unload and prices declined. St. Louls for some time had been a strong support of the local market, but let go a long line. Important liquidation was done by local and other outsiders. De- cember declined to 72c. There was some covering by shorts against puts, causing a reaction in December to 72%c, but the liqui- datlon was too general for the market to stand up under and December again declined to T2@72%c, at which it closed. May wheat ranged at T%GT%e to T04@T6%e and closed at Thige. Corn was strong and higher early, in sym- paiby with the Liverpool advance of %c. The ocal price was helped by an impression quite generally prevalling that crop estimates have been too liberal. December closed ¢ higher at_30%@30%c. Oats re extremely dull but steady. market range was only iic. Snow put his estimate of the crop at §0,000,000 bushels, compared with his estimate of 749,000,600 last year. Decem- ber closed unchanged. Provisions barely held thelr own, showing steadiness with hogs which were unchanged to fc up. The cash trade was not brisk.

Generally the local market goes in advance of the Eastern and Eu- ropean markets. Some wools have been sell- ing, but not at extreme prices, and the mar- Ket can be quoted quiet, with very little in- quiry from brokers or Eastern agents for either scoured or grease wools at any higher rates than have prevailed in the last four or ve weeks. T ¥ (e Red Bluft sales last week about 2200 bales were offered and sold at 10@12c, which was really 1@2c per pound more than the mar- ket at present justifies, but as there are about three milllon pounds less mountain wool this | year, owing to the fact that sheep were kept out of the national parks, there is a keen com- petition for all free fall wool. “There is still considerable wool in this mar- | ket, The country is pretty well bought up, but very little wool is coming in on consign- ment. “Owing to the rise in freight rates to the East, more wool has been shipped out in_the last three days than for a long time past, both scoured and in the grease.”” | HOPS—Quoted at 1012 per 1b.
