Fall' demand, now in full swing at the East, West and Northwest, compares well with last year and business continues to expand at the South. Specially marked features are the reports of a large seasonable distribution, heavy shipments and improved collections from lead- ing Western centers, The steel strike is gradually nearing its end, despite efforts to keep the trouble open. In thi meanwhile demand steadily grows and ums for quick delivery of and foundry and forge iron are In larger d mand evéen at Pittsburgs~Additional sales of rails for next year are reported and the busi. nese already booked in this and other lines assures activity throughout the winter. Job- bers” atgcks of nnished sxadas ape:hadly hefiee | “Pwo monthe of the cereal year have passed, and despite the pressure qf receipts from the largest wheat crop ever producd in the United States and Canada, primary receipts are 15 per | cent larger than a’year ago. Hog products are higher. Raw sugar is further demoralized and 1 1-16c 5 | lower on the week. | Upper leather dealers are yielding to the in- | evitable and some asking prices are fully lc | better than a month ago. Hides are advancing. Wheat, including flour exports, for the week aggregate 4,406,064 bushels, as against 6,607,- 611 bushels last year. Wheat exports from July 1 to date agsregate 61,682,996 bushels as against 29,261,568 bushels last season. For the week business fallures number 169 as against 188 last week and 154 in thls week a | vear ago. * - * Bradstreet’s Financial Rewiew;l * NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—Bradstreet's Financial Review will say to-morrow: As the Stock Exchange was closed Saturday until Monday, | which was a legal holiday, Wall street had a short week. When business was resumed on Tuesday there was a decided change in senti- ment, due to the fact that last week's bank statement was more unfavorable than had been | anticipated. “The loss of $6.000,000 in reserve Dby the banks and the reduction of surplus re- serves to about $11,900,000 created more or less apprehension regarding the money market, which was increased by the reduction in the supply of time money and the hardening of call loan rates, which advanced to 3% per cent. The idea found expression that if the experi- ence of two years ago was repeated and the bank reserves were further depleted exceed- ingly firm rates for money might result and the stock market receive a decided setback. * Dun’s Review of Trade. G NEW YORK, Bept. 6—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade to-morrow will say: A holl- day reduced the volume of legitimate business, while speculative operations were seriously cur- talled by the general closing of exchanges from Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning. In the movement of merchandise and in many manufacturing 1line there has been effort to make up the loss by working overtime, but the week's record will fall behind those im- mediately preceding. Actual sales of many iron and steel products are reckoned at ma- terial advances and the tone throughout has been hardened by vigorous demand. Placing of sample orders for spring footwear is of such character as to indicate a healthy market and gome jobbers are so anxlous for early delivery that contracts are being closed now. Despite that activity in the market for cotton goods and placing of Government contracts the staple shows no great strength. Although unsettled -in tone little alteration occurred in the prin- cipal cereals. Trading was restricted and thers was an apparent declination to assume an eggressive stand on either side of the market. Commercial failures during the month of August were 803 in numbet and $9,458,866 in amount of liabilities. Compared with' the same month last year the statement is most satis- factory. as failures were then only 785 in num. ber and $7,323,908 in amount. ————+ New York Grain and Produce. —_— NEW YORK.

This is pretty strong evidence that some of our large consumers are again ente ing the market, and are becoming liberal buy- ers, Besides it clearly demonstrates that the difficulties experienced by importers to take discharge from the carriers are being gra ually overcome. Householders are suffering the most seriously from the strike i drivers of coal carts, as those from the wharf of discharge are unable to get sufficlent fuel for their requirements, and just about this time most of their bins need replenishing. it is sincerely to be heped that the hour of settlement is very close at han as certainly neither the employer or employi is being In any way benefited by its continu- ance.

The tendency in Meats Is to get cheaper, as the supply in the wholesals mar- kets is slowly increasing. Fruits and Vegetables are about as usual at this time of the year. e Peaches and Bartlett Pears are drawing toward the close of their season and Grapes will be the leading fruit from now on. Potatoes. which have been unusually dear, owing to remarkable de- Tmand for them from the Western States, are getting cheaper at wholesale, and as they are now arriving in larger quantities the indica- tions are for lower prices shortly.

A dressmaker, scenting advertisement, paid the lady 30,000 francs a year to wear his costumes exclusively. A rival dress- maker, with envy in §is heart, offered her another salary on condition that she should circulate the statement that, while she wore the gowns of the first, it was only for the sake of the salary, and in her soul she preferred the i 1l§ of the second. She succumbed m& tion, and now there is a law: suit on and she bids fair to get neither —New York Press.
