The hesitation which had been caused in the day by marked weak- ness of the ose stocks and by sympathy of other industrials was overcome by the strength of Pullman and New York Central, and prices of the rallroads rose quite gener- last night's level. The easing of for sterling exchange encouraged the it gave way to profit-taking in the when the preliminary estimates of ement of money for the week appeared rate for call money stiffened to 3 per cent. The most active stocks reacted a point and in Pullman the reaction extended to nearly seven points. There was some rally before the close, which was firm and at small net gains for most stocks. The strength of the market, however, was not widely distributed, and in fact was almost wholly confined to the few most active stocks. The banks hav gained slightly from the sub-treasury on rou- tine operations by reason of continued large disbursements for Government expenditures and on account of anticipated Interest. But the outg money to the interfor has been heavy. The week’s shipments by some large banks have been the larzest of the season. The net result is estimated by experts at a loss in cash by the banks of nearly $2,000,000, The easing of the exchange rate, in spite of a sight hardening in the London discount rate, was significant. The outgo of gold to London may be averted, but it will be hecause of a gher money rate here. Interior rates for New York exchange show no cessation of demand from those quarters.

G e Bradstreet's Financial Review. o= > NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Bradstreet's, in its review of the New York stock market to-mor- row, will say Frices improved this week, the stock market showing a rally from the depression caused by tight money and the South African war. Early in the week a better tone appeared In the ioan market, rates for money on call de- clining to 4@5 per cent, with 6 per cent as the extreme. The completion uf the large set- tlement connected with the Central Pacific re- adjustment also relieved the money market from fears of further genersl disturbance of loans, and it would appear that large Inter- ests were encouraged to give remewed support to advance their specialties. The buying pow- er was mainly supplied by a large short in- terest which had accumulated during the past month. The market, at the same time, is sen- eitive to the financial conditions here and abroad. The easier tone in the New York money market is calculated to facilitate & movement of gold from this side to London, which the temporary falling off of grain exports, the scarcity of commercial bills of exchange and the rise of sterling rates to $4 &7% rendered a possibility. The fact that the London money market is being carefully tended and kept free from dis- turbance as a preparation for an expected war loan might Involve the Bank of England's taking advantage of these exceptional condi- tiors and procuring some millions of gold from New York. It was, of course. recognized that such a movement could not be very large nor continue for any time, vet the stock market was inclined to watch this part of the situa- tion with much attention. The firmness of the London stock market continued and there was even some buying at times from that quarter, while on Friday the news of Brit- igh success in the first engagements stimulated London and had an effect on prices here. B —1 Bradstreet's on Trade. Pldiiiie D Losl et NEW YORK, Oct, 2).—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: More nearly perhaps than ever hefore does the volume of general trade and industry tax existing transportation facilities handling the same. From nearly all parts of the country, but particularly from the West and South, come réports of car searcity. Some of this congestion seems to be the result of a diversion of traffic ordinarily carried on by water routes to already crowded railroads. The inability of present transportation facilities to cope with the existing situation is, how- ever, not confined to domestic trade lines. From Dboth coasts of this country come reports of | ana 2,65 | changed. insufficient tonnage offering to handle goods seeking a foreign outlet and freight rates are considerably higher than they were & year or more ago. This latter feature, in fact, Is one which may have important effects upon our foreign trade during the balance of the vear. ‘With few notable exceptions prices continue strong. A number of lines have advanced quo- tations, while the great body of staple articles manitest all their old firmness. Some weak- ness in wheat prices is directly traceable to higher freight rates, hecause of the partial closing of the door to relief from growing do- mestic stocks. Touching the wheat situation, however, it may be said that while present statistics of stocks of domestic and FEuropean are bearish estimates of the year's cropcon- tinue to afford strength to the bulls' position. An average of five leading European estimates points to a world's crop this year not far from 2,500,600,000 bushels and a_falling off of 325, G0 to 373,000,00 Bushels from last year dicated, against which, of course, is to be reckoned increased supplies, visible and in- | visible, of at least two-thirds of that amount. | Raw wool is firmer and even higher on better | demand at the st, some heavy speculative transactions being reported, The strength of | lumber Is apparently undiminished, though supplles are reported more liberal at some markets, but lumber mills are very generally reported rushed with orders. Returns of export trade do not as yet reflect the effect of recent advances in freight rates and show the movement of merchandise abroad during September to have been the best re- corded for that month, being 22 per cent larger than a year ago and 5.6 per cent larger than September two vears ago. For the nine months | our exports exceed those of 1898 by 4 per cent, & maintenance of which gatn would fndicate a total export for the calendar ar of 1899 of $1,300,000,000, which total, however, may be still further exceeded if the freight situation im- proves. , Wheat, including flour, shipments for the ‘week aggrezate 4,160,618 bushels, against 5,263,- 634 last weck, 422878 In the corresponding week of 1 52,171 in 1897, 4,067,271 in 1596 4 in 1895, Business failures for the week number 221, as compars with 164 last week, 213 in this week o year ago, 2% In 1567, 22 in 15% and %9 In Business faflures in the Dominion of Canada for the week number 20, as compared with 19 | last week, 24 in this week a year ago, 27 in | 1897, 48 n'1696 and 36 In 189. { ©- — Dun’s Review of Trade. NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say to-morrow: In most lines business continues to expand, though {n some there are signs that buying has been checked, either because prices have out- run the views of buyers or because recent pur- chases have been so heavy that nobody is left in need. Prices are still advancing, in almost every line supported by rising prices of ma- terials, and works everywhere are still crowded to their utmost capacity, while at many points it 1s found hard to get enough competent hands. But the volume of business expressed in values rises much more than prices, showing a re- markable increase in quantities of goods ex- The outbreak of war in South Africa has brought no such changes as many feared. In England the markets have treated it as an event already overdiscounted, and relations with this country were not appreciably af- fected. The outzo of cotton {s just now checked, but of other great staples and manu- facturers’ products the foreign demand is sur- prisingly sustained Wheat has declined 13%c in price in spite of unfavorable crop reports. and Western receipts do not keep up with the unprecedented move. ment of last vear, having been but 23,134,400 bushels, against 30,592,404 bushels during th weeks of October last year. But Atlantic ex ports, flour included, have been in three w of October 10,679,216 bushels inst bushels last year, and Pacific exports 1, bushels, azainst 2,256,312 bushels last year. yond doubt prices’ would rise far and fast with such a foreign demand if {al and other urrent reports of . yleld were fully credited. | Corn exports have been in three weel 406 bushels, against 7,002,036 bushels I Wool bas also enlisted a powerful speculs interest, and sales of 11,263,000 pounds for the week at three central markets represent about twice the consumytion.

The Western market s strong and the Eastern not changed, While large orders for bars are re- | fused at Pittsburg by the works, which are | full for many months ahead, others just start- ing are seeking such orders at 2.01 cents, and the Chicago and Pittsburg markets are still full of orders for plates, although the works at Pittsburg have nearly caught up, and some of them ars now taking oniy 2.75 cents, agalnst 2.90 cents last week. Some works are also | taking orders for sheets at 3.10 cents, and in other directions there are signs that the enor- mous production begins to be felt. There is a possibility of check, owing to shortage of cars | at Connellsville, which restricts delivery of coke, the output the week having been 248 tons, in operation and price unchanged.

The bears were in- clined to work within narrow limits, however, and as the market at the outset was consid- erably under put figures, a partial recovery followed - on buying against privileges. Cov- ering by shorts, owing to moderate domestic receipts and the strength developed by corn, also added somewhat to the upturn. The liqui- dation, however, was of sufficient volume to prevent anything like an enduring advance, and as the demand was short lived the mar- ket soon started on the down grade again. The bears were disinclined to push their advantage, «and trade finally became.so dull that for an hour in the middle of the session there was scarcely any change in price. Finally longs, who had been walting for an upturn to un- load, lost patience, and offerings becoming quité plentiful the market gave way under the pressure and ended up at the bottom of the i Clun, day's range. Indications of an increase of 2,000,000 bushels in the visible supply this Week hastened the decline. December “opened lpe lower at 70%c, sold sparingly at 70%c, ad- vanced to 70%c, declined to 70%c, and closed with sellers at 70%@70%c. Corn was relatively strong and active. Poor husking returns and a steady increase on local stocks encouraged general buying, but the weakness of wheat had an unfavorable effect and the advance was lost. December closed at_30%c. There was very little tradimg in oats and what little fluctuation occurred was due al- most_entirely to sympathy with corn. Decem- ber closed at 2216@22%c.

Foreign cables re- ported English farmers sellirg freely at present prices and liberal offerings from other coun- tries, and under such circumstances it hardly possible to expect much life in the local market, where freights continue to be a domi- nant factor.

WHEAT-The local market was weak, with a declined in futures. The Produce Exchange ad- journed at noon in respect to the memory of the late H. V. Deming. Chicago was lower, as foreign advices de- pressed the market. Broomhall reported a poor demand in Liverpool, with millers and dealers well stocked.

This amount must be largely increased next week, or the reserves in varl will become very siim, as at this season the domestic demand is very heavy. This is very evident from the string of teams awaiting their turns for loading some British Columbia coal now discharging. Flguring the time lost for a man, horses and wagon to secure a load, it is close calculation to see where the profit in that transaction comes in. The demand for steam coals is also very brisk, in fact, centractors are close pushed to keep up their agreed deliverfes, and are not over solicitous to make sales for future requirements. The present fuel congestion will be relieved a few months hence, when the services of several re- cently engaged steamers shall be brought into requisition, as our former fleet of sailers which were utilized as coast coal carriers, have ac- cepted forelgn business which proves more profitable. Foreign coal is coming along very slowly, and but little is being foaded, notwith- | standing high outward grain freishts should in- duce generous shipments.
