These prices are %c lower on choice and %c lower on fancy than the lowest prices previously quoted by outsiders. and while the trade made no great rush to buy on the new basis still buvers took hold fairly well and orders for a good many cars were wired to the coast. Out-of-town Jobbers took to the prices very much more readily than the home trade, and before noon many had wired their confirmations to local representatives of packers. City buyers um- doubtedly would have bought more freely had he general situation been more settled. There rumors also of prices %@%kc less than figures already given and these naturally reased the nmervous feeling. Lower prices were also quoted from the >oast on London lavers, Sultanas and Thomp- son’s seedless. The new quotations for lavers were $110 for 2-crown, $120 for S-crown and 41 60 for 4-crown.

The New York circular of Henry Clews says: *Local monetary conditions should soon im- prove, es we are near the period when funds withrewn for crop moving purposes will be- gin to return. At the moment currency ship- ments are large, and In view of other known | movements one or two more unfavorable bank statements would cause no surprise. Bank re- serves &re low and the best has been said when the early return of currency has been taken into consideration. We are now enter- ing the gold importing season, which with re- | lease of crop funds usually insures & period of easy money until April. The prospects of gold imports just now, however, are very re- mote; in fact we seem more likely to send any’s s is_evidently reaching another ; England is depressed by war to draw gold from Europe. e ancial tical p and France, ropean nations, is girding herself 1o meet con- sequent demands upon her resources for as- tance; 1o say nothing of -the chill caused the recent break in copper in the United States. With the European markets in this mood and Jarge Russian, English and other loans in prospect, it is mot likely that gold will come bere in any considerable guantities under the most favorable conditions; and in se of untoward circumstances we might be sbliged even to ship gold, for Europe would certainly sell our high priced stocks to help meet their own difficulties. Our foreign trade continues on a._very satisfactory basis, Sep- tember exports showing an excess over imports smounting to $39,59.000, against $56,333,000 the same month last year. several times during the past twelve months our exports have not only fallen below last rear. but that our imports are steadily in- “reasing as a result of the difference in trade conditions here and abroad. The decreases in sxports have been chiefly in cotton, copper, oreadstuffs and steel manufactures, the out- ward movement of which could be readily in- lower prices, provided Europe’s buy- v was not further imuaired. In hose Aays of close international commerce the fferences in prosperity and adversity between Surope and the United States cannot long en- dure; they must in time approach a closer evel, and as this comes about we may look ‘or & reduction of the excessive trade balance which bas been such a feature in our forelgn ommerce during the last three years.

Nefther did the appar- | ent contradiction found in the resistance of the retirement of Northern Pacific preferred and the broad Intimation from President Hill that the Great Northern is to be consulted in the matter of the control of the Burlington system as well as Northern Pacific.
