Bradstreet’s Financial Review. e NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Bradstreet's Financlal Review to-morrow will say: Speculative sentiment appeared to undergo a. change this week. The bearish feeling and de- clining tendency in prices, which had been generally displayed for the preceding fortnight, | gave place to an exhibit of renewed confidence and rising values. The immediate cause of this movement was the announcement that the an- thracite coal strike would be ended and, though the concession of an increase of wages to the | miners by the companies did not result in the promipt collapse of the strike or the reopening | of the mines, the street seemed to accept ths | idea that under the circumstances the strike would not last. Reports that a settlement had been arrived at were brought out several times during the weelk and always produced consld- erable effect in str other factor in the same connection was the prevalence among financial interests of de- pending election. Exactly what this is based on is hard to determine, but it would seem that the reappearance of sipport in varlous parts iing from powerful financial may be attributed to this influence. interest; a di tion to follow such bullish leadersiip or to indulge in any speculative buying. The large increase in the current transactions at the Stock Exchange was, on the whole, due to professioral activity and the covering of the large amount of short contracts that have been put out in anticipation of a break was largely responsible for the sharp advances in many stocks. The money market was decidedly firmer, loans being curtailed, owing to the heavy withdrawals of funds to the South and West, though the bank statement of last Saturday was more fa- vorable than had been anticipated, so far as the reduction of surplus reserve is concerned. Time money, however, advanced to 5 per cent and call money was firmer at 214@3 per cent. The firmness 6f money was offset to some ex- tent by the further decline of exchange which, as explained elsewhere, caused some expect tion of gold exports. It Is hardly thought, how- | ever, that any large amount of specle would be sent’ here at present, owing.to the continued strain in the position at the financlal capitals abroad. London,took only a moderate interest in our stock market, but was a buyer to some little extent, particularly in the Pacific stocks. It was also noted that Berlin Interests were again buyers of Northern Pacific common, after | having #0ld that stock heavily in the preceding fortnight. Bradstrect’s on Trade. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: Despite some irregularities both as to demand and prices. due partly to warm, rainy weather, but likewise a reflection of a hesitancy to embark largely in new business pending political events, the general tone of trade is a favorable one and confidence as to the outlook for business in the remainder of the year is notable. Some diminution in the volume of jobbing business i= no at large Western centers and continued rainy weather in the Northwest alike checks the movement of wheat to market, injures the grade of the | same and discourages retail and jobbing dis- tribution. Ten-cent cotton is the key to tae very favorable report which comes from the | South and the character of reports from this section s more nearly favorable than for many years past at this time. The indispo- sition to contract heavily as to the future ls perhaps most marked in the fron and steel trade and here a toward ‘weaknes: duction is noted. been improved by the signing of the tin plate scale, but the anthracite coal situation is, on the surface at least, rather more unfavorabie than a week ago. more mines and miners be- o the most marked tendency in the crude forms of pro- The Industrigl outlook has ing dle and production steadily diminishing. Special weakness 8 noted In the sugar trade, owing to the practical break of the raw sugar corner as much as to the passing of the can- ning season and the reported intention of the refiners to reopen the war on prices. Speci, strength is noted in provisions and hop pro- ducts in which the very strong statistical poinc is receiving more attention. The strength of the railroad situation is reflected in earnings fully equal to last year and In instances larger and the announcement that rates are to be advanced on November 1. October dis- bursements were the heaviest ever known and are partly reflected in current bank cleari inga, which are the largest since last June. Th rail situation is the cynosure of eyes in the iron and steel trade. A Western road has bought 25,000 tons at Chicago and a large anthracite railroad has gone into the markel the East, but the heaviest systems have not yet contracted for their requirements though announcements are awaited with interest be- causs of the example they set to buyers gen- erally. Pig iron is weak- all around, being lower at the South and at Pittsburg and the demand is largely for small lots. Export de- mand is belng favored by lower freights. A help to the market for plates has been afforded by the order for 6000 steel cars given by u trunk line. Wheat. Including flour, shipments for the weck aggregate 4,459,167 bushels, against 4,242,- 8§10 bushels last week, 5,183,398 bushels in the corresponding week of 1899, and 547,224 bushels in_ 1898 From July 1 to date this season wheat ex- ports are 47,221,067 bushels, agalnst 5,699,417 bushels last season, Business fallures in the United States for the week numbered 177, as against 169 last Jieck. 146 in this week a year ago and 163 in bt Canadlan fallures for the week number 13, as against 22 last week. # Dun’s Review of Trade. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—R. G. Dun & Co. Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: The anthracite coal settlement has been de- layed another week and the effect on busine: in the East is more apparent, though distribu- tion in the West and South seems no less active. Seazonable weather in the East would quickly aid matters. Prices are slightly lower in fron, wool. coal and sugar, but the produce and textile markets are firm and in all depart- | ments of business an effort by distributors to increase transactions would quickl prices. There is little ordering. ahead"in “any ind of ‘merchandise, but steel rall makers look for contracts for about 2,000,000 tons after election. Rain is needed in the South and on the North Atlantic coast, but in the Southwest rains have checked cotton picking. The most Interesting financtal development was the further drop of lc.in the pound in sterling exchange, completing a d.clm of 2 in two weeks, without any important change ldnm on': ‘n.x’or;-y dulurkc‘tz.“ tt the same time Lon- or discout strengthened ma- terially, though the Bank of Eogiand made 5o GV CALL, SATURDAY, change in its rate, in which an advance had been expected. Heavy foreign buying of cot- ton has outweighed all other influences and there is {nsufficient demand for regular re- mittances to absorb commercial bills drawn against the -u‘yla. Cotton shipments are pro- ducing about double the exchange they did a Yyear ago, and as the crop is being moved with the funds shipped from New York and without Eold tmports from Europe the net result is that New York s loaning foreigners about half the value of the crop. Most manufacturing con- cerns are delaying extensive production until after election and are buying little raw ma- terlal. Plgiron has declined on small rders end was also depressed Ly the cut in Southern tural lines are steady and export buying does much to prevent duliness. Costracts for cars, bridges and plates for shipbuilding were sizned | during the week and rails were sold at §2 to dumestic roads, while a small amount was taken by Italy. Boot and shoe factories are more actively emploved on rush orders, con- firming the reperted reduction of stocks, but spring contracts are postponed. Sales of wool at the three chief Eastern markets were 3,417,- 265 pounds, exceeding every week since August, but still insignificant compared with last year, and Coates Brothers' average price of 100 grades on October 1 was 19.64c, against 20.37c September 1. Wheat Is steady. For the week Atlantic ex- poIts were 38,2293 bushels, flour included, against 3,562,062 in 1899, After the end of Sep- tember there was a decline in the price of corn for the current month’s dellvery, but ele- vator prices remained firm and receipts for the week were only 4,840,802 vushels, against 7,079,340 last year, while Atlantic exports were 2,144,610 bushels, against 2,992,232 a year ago. ‘l ner lll)c;{s l(k(‘hl:;;go caused a sharp rise n prices o roduce.
