G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say The perlod of suspense is nearly over. Busi- ness has been longing tor & free fleld in which to leap forward, but restricted buying largely to wants for immediate consumption. Some evi- dence appears of willingness to take epecula- tive chances in the movement of a few sfand- ard goods, notably of iron and steel. The actual resumption of operations in the anthra- clte coal fields has added largely to the work- ing force and closing down of & few emall steel plants is only in the nature of concen- trating operations at more advantageous points and has not _much reduced the number of men employed. The weather in some sections has favored business, but at New York has been unseasonable, accounting for much of the loss of 15.3 per cent in bank clearings here. En- couraging signs multiply in the iron industry. Strength in Bessemer and gray forge at Pitts- burg showe that the recent increase in activ- ity of finished forms has at last affected the market for raw materjal. Improvement in domestlc buying of plg is the more noticeable because of decrease in exports. Structural shapes continue in urgent request, plates ad- vancing with active demand from shipbuild- ers and_with talk of a pool to sustain the price. Bar iron would sell readily at former prices, but holders grow stubborn. Reports are current that American concerns have contract- ed for machine shops in Bremen and numerous bridges abroad, including some in Africa. Bil- lets at Philadelphia cost $i), which does not look like reduction in stecl reils, Buyers in these lines decided not to walt for election to place contracts. There was aiso some recovery in wheat, started by the statement that Argentine would not be able to exgon freely this year because of the injury to the growing crop. Small con- cessions are made by importers of AW sugar. Failures for the week were 193 In the United | States against 183 last year, and 23 in Canada, against 25 last year. —# * New York Grain and Produce. | * * | NEW YORK, Nov. 2—FLOUR—Receipts, 20,005 barrels; exports, I barrels; sales, 4500 packages.

The upward | movement of prices, which was the feature of the preceding fortnight and which was, in effect, a discounting of the expected result, has been checked by the general disposition | to take profits or to reduce commitments in | e bardening of money rates | | over the election has also created conservatism | the market. on the part of the commission-houses and the tendency in such quarters is to have customers Testrict transactions for the moment. It i | also noted that throughout the street the dia- | position hae been to call for much larger mar- gins and to otherwise prepare for any emer- gency. The market thus seems to have placzd | itsel? in a position to awalt the outcome in | a calm way and it is also noted that the | realizing by people who bought early in the CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—Wheat prices, after an active session, left an irregular trall, but for all its sinuosities the tendency was plainly downward. December opened %@%e higher at T44G74%c under pressure from shorts, who were surprised at a slight advance at Liverpool it the face e decline here yesterday. The crowd, how seemed to have plenty of long stuff and the clear weather and an Argentine cable greporting prospects ‘‘satisfactory’’ wers sufficient to bring much of it out. December dropped to T4l4c early, rallied to T4%@74%c and then, pressed by additional influences, includ- ing {iberal primary receipts and the closing of thres flour mills at Minneapolls, slumped to Ti%e. On profit taking by shorts December ral- lled sharply to 72%c, but the advance falled to firnd substantial support and further liquidation eent the price back to 73%c. The close was | weak, December isc lower at 73e. Corn was qulet, despite the weakness in the wheat pit. The market derived strength from | light receipts and good export demand.
