Totals .. — i Bradstreet’s Financial Review. l | * NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Bradstreet's Financfal Review to-morrow will sa Irregularity has prevalled in the movement of prices for securities this week. The tone of the market, however, has been firm, although the absence of public participation reduced the volume of trading to & minimum. Politics are still uppermost in the minds of the financial community and although the results of the State elections in Vermont were considered there was a continuance of the in- dizposition to enter upon any speculative ven- tures. Investment stocks are in demand at all concessions and holders of securities still dis- TR | play a marked disposition to sell them, money being easy, the prospects for a continuance of comparatively low rates of interest being con- sidered exceflent. The decline In foreign ex- change is a matter of interest to the street, the large foreign purchases of cotton and the pressure of bills against such exports tending to reduce the level of exchange still further. It is noted that the Bank of England Is manfp- | ulating the London money market and it is also thought that considerable foreign loans are likely to be made In New York during the autumn, some authorities going so far as to predict ‘that another issue of British consols may be brought out in the United States after the Presidential election is éver. The money and the stock markets here, however, have reconciled themselves to the idea that the ve to supply foreign re- quirements for specie and no particular appre- henston is felt on this score. London has on the whole been a purchaser of securities in | this market, although its transactions were on a limited scale, and speculative interests on the other side are inclined to walt and the market Railroad earnings are still good and some surprise was occasioned by the large increase of $190,000 in the St. Paul's gross earn- ings for the last week of August. This led to some speculative buying of the granger stocks, that portion of the share list developing a very strong tone. The real activity of the week, however, centered in a few speclalties, the movement of American Sugar being the most notable. That stock advanced to 122% in ad- vance of the increase of the quarterly dlvidend rate on last Tuesday from 1% to 1% per cent. The directors met early In the day and ad- journed until the afternoon, but in the mean- time information as to what was intended seems to have leaked out and a vigorous buy- | ing movement set in. the incident being char- acterized as a new {nhibition of manipulation on the part of the management. There was preseure in People’s Gas, due to the unfavor- able competition at Chicago. Among the few notable movements in the raflroad list was a rize in Southern Railway preferred, which sold up to 65} on reports that an increase in the dividend rate was not improbable, notwith- standing the intimation given in the annual report that the rate would be kept at 1 per cent. — T I Bradstreet's on Trade. * — NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: Trade developments for the week have been mainly favorable and the improvement in gen- eral distributive business in the latter part of August has gathered force In the first waek of Feptember. Leading features have been the widenirg fali tfade reported at nearly all points West, South and on the Pacific Coast; some im- provement in the jobbing demand at’ the East, with Southern buying a marked feature, rather better reports from the two t staple crops of the West and South. wheat and cotton, improved export demand for American products, netably wheat, iron and steel and cotton, and unvarying good returns by the transportation interests of the country. The corner appears to Lave turned In bank clearings, because the aggregate for the first week of September, though broken by holidays, is larger than the total for the preceding week. The industrial outlook has been fmproved by settlement of the tin plate scale. the general resumption of operations in the glass Industry, the predicted settlement satisfactorily of the remaining fron and steel wage reales and the possibility that recent large sales of print-cloths will avert a resort to wage reductions in the New England cotton industry. The anthraclte coal trade outlook, however, is clouded by the prediction that 140, 000 men 'will strike this week. Tre iron and steel trade continues positively cheerful in tone and n large business has been and is now being booked. No important gains in prices are reported.

G. Dun & Cv. Weekly Review of Trade this week will say: The volume of business does not materially enlarge at the Fast and there is only moderate improvement at the West and South, but if expectations of greater activity when politics cease to disturb are realized current operations will be found to have laid a substantial foun- dation. The most important event of the week in the Industrial world was the agreement on the tinplate wage scale with the Amaigamated Association, granting about § per cent advance to 35,000 hands, long idle, Other metal work- ers' disputes are nearing settlement, while the Borden purchase of 500,000 pleces of print cloths at 2%c clears up the Fall River market and is believed to preclude serfous wage differences there, The final decision of the dissatisfied an- (hracite miners as to a strike will be reached to-day. If a strike is decided upon, it is llkely to involve only a portion of the anthracite in- terests and the producers are well preparsd, as production in August was 619,000 tons over last year and coal has been moving to market for two weeks very heavily. Prices of grain are little altered, good crop reports coming in freely, but the éffect is be- ing neutralized by a foreign estimate of u world’s crop below requirements. Wheat stocks carrfed over were ample to meet the discrep- ancy and traders do not seem able to advance prices more than G over last year's price for | wheat and 6o for corn. This difference is ap- | purently satisfactory to growers, as 7430372 ushels wheat were received at Interfor cities in the first week of September, against 5,945,697 bushels last year. Exports from Atlantic ports amounted to only 1,902,540 bushels wheat, flour Included, against 2,500,960 bushels a year ago. The Atlantic shipments of corn made a better comparison than in recent weeks, 2,923,079 bush- els, against 3,051,569 last year. Cotton is strong in the face of a larger yleld than expected.

T.—To-day marked the turning point in the great bull movement in cotton on the New Orleans, New York and Liv- erpool Cotton Exchanges. With a crash, amid tremendous excitement, prices fell 25 to 32 points on the opening, while the close was weak at & net less of 19925 points. Between the opening and the final phases the market | scored some violent fluctuations, at ome time advancing within a point or o of yesterday's closing. The loss of the first call wiped out fully one-third of the rise accumulated during the fore part of the week and resulted from a bull panic at Liverpool. The public was not a loser on the collapse of the English and Amer- fcan markets, having sold out pretty thorough- Iy during the great rise of yesterday. Man- chester spinners voted at a meeting to-day to close down their mills, being unable to manu- facture cotton goods at the present abnormal prices demanded for American cotton. More- over, there was not sufficlent staole in Eng- | land to_keep them golng for ten consecutive | days. Some traders are talking 10 cents for | leve the turning point has been reached. To- day's business on the local Cotton Exchange was estimated at 1,000,000 bales. NEW YORK, Sept. —COTTON—Futures opened weak and irregular, with prices down 222 points, under one of the heaviest seliing : movements Wwhich has ever been witnessed in the cotton pit. Orders to unload came from Furope, the South, the West, Wall street and tke speculative public in general, and it was not until prices were down 14 points that buy- ers could be indced to take hold. Trading was very active, except for a brief period around midday. The market once more shifted in the last few minutes and broke under heavy gen- eral selling. The close was weak, With prices net 19425 points lower. Chicago Livestock Market. ] CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—CATTLE—Receipts, 1500; stead utchers’ stock, steady, except medium cows.
