NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Apprehension over the money situation con-, tinues. Gold to the amount of $200,000 has gone to Paris and £130,000 to Egypt. There are ru- mors of an impending French loan of 30,000,000 francs to cover the budget defleit. It Is sug- gested that the recent gold shipments have been in this connection. In the market American stocks were lazy early. Then New York came as & buyer of the coalers, %gltbly Norfolk and Western and Ontario and Western. The latter was assisted by a revival of the old story of a_contemplated- amalgamation with the New York Central. Union Pacific was active, but finally lost its strength. The Bank of England is still lending money to the market Discounts are 2%, but the banks are chary lest the Bank of England rate rise.

Bradstreet’s on Trade. * % Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Despite the smaller movement of grain, and, up to this week, the lighter movement of cot- ton, 5o heavy is the volume of business offered the railroads of the country that complaints of car shortage come from all parts of the country, notably for iron ore and steel, lumber, grain and coal. In the coal trade the shortage | | s marked, because the anthracite tonnage is heavy, being estimated at $55,000,000, or one- ffth Jarger than a vear ago. Wholesale and jobbing trade generally is characterized as fair to moderate the country over. A fair reorder business is noted in the ' Northwest, but trade generally is waiting the movement of goods from retailers’ hands. Col- lections are generall. good, except at the | South, where the slower movement of cotton | has tended to retard business. As for some | weeks past, the iron and steel trade returns the | best reports, and these reports are being pro-; | longed to an extent which has rarely been wit- | nessed. The largest steel rail -order of the year was placed this week, in all 160,000 tons | being taken at the ruling rate of §23 per ton by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and | | some other large orders from other companies are now under negotiations. In all 1,500,000 | tons for 1802 delivery have been booked. Spe- clal activity is noted in structural material at Pittsburg and there have been additional or- ! ders for implement manufacturers, with con- | tinued activity in tin plates and steel sheets, | mills producing the latter being months be- hind on orders. The large crop of wheat and the admitte increase in the world’s supplies have heret foré been balanced by the knowledge that the rest of the world's food supplies are shorter thian last year. Prices this week have been pushed over the | “:dead center” by reports of drought in Argen- tine reducing ylelds from 25 per cent to 40 per cent. Exporters have bought on reactions. Flour has strengthened with wheat and pro- duction is heavy, the Minneapolls mills last ‘week breaking all records. Hog products are lower, the feeling growing that the higher prices of the late boom have checked consump- tion. Statistically the situation is, however, still bearish. ¥ ‘Wheat, including flour, exports for the week aggregate 4,592,134 bushels, as against 5,336,073 last week and 4,920,978 in this week last year. Wheat exports July 1 to date (seventeen weeks) aggregate 100,056,335 bushels, against 59,187,869 last season. The strength of leather products continues unabated and shoe shipments are heavily in excess of a year ago. Leather is 5 to 10 per cent higher than it was six weeks ago at most Eastern markets. Fallures In the United States for the week number 223, as against 193 last week, 161 in this week a year ago, 211 In 1599 and 219 in 18%8. Canadian failures for the week number 16, | as against 29 last week and 21 in this week | | NEW YORK, Oct. | a'year ago. *- - * Dun’s Review of Trade. * P NEW YORK, Oct. %5.—R. G.

Opening 5 10% Closing 5 10% liveries by manutacturers of staple lines, While opening transactions in ‘fancy n.nodl k< holldays are unusually ‘early, showing that dealers *anticipate a lars trade. Prices of commodities rule fitm and collections are satis- factory, even Southern payments coming for- rd promptly now that the tardy cotton crop begun to move freely, Each week the situation as to iron and steel becomes more encouraging, .orders running to the middle of 102 fn many products, There is much work in progress’ or preparing, promising many plants ready to start next year. The feature Of the week was the placing of enormous orders for steel rails, practically assuring another record-breaking output. Other railroad sup- plies are also in great demand, the most serious amount felt at the many points on account of shortage. Added to this s much structural work in replacing wooden bridges by steel arches, and In the minor lines there is an equally vigorous demand. Pig iron reflects the brisk movement on finished products and higher prices are anticipated. It is worthy of note that the domestic situation is mot called to stimulate export trade and the loss of much forelgn business may be directly attributed to the strike, which put the mills so far behind on home needs. Coke ovens are active and the output is large, but lack of cars and motive power restricts shipments. Coal deliveries are similarly retarded, the dealers being often un- able to Al more than a small proportion of thelr orders. On woolen goods conditions are qulet on account of the warm weather, but mills are fully occupied and producers.of knit goods have orders for some time. Strenkth In the raw material is conspicuous, mils buy- ing freely. More steady prices are received by domestic wheat growers, last year's figures belng surpassed, notwlthstanding the largely Increased yleld just harvested. Smaller crops of other cereals and hay caused the use of much wheat in fattening live stock and with lard more than 2 cents above last year's prices and m pork $3 a barrel this was a most profitable proceeding.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. The firmness in the best grades of Butter proved temporary, and the market has eased off again under larger receipts. During the past three days four steamers have brought in over T00 boxes from Humboldt and Southern Oregon, and it is too much of a load for the market to carry. Dealers have their salesmen out offering goods at concessions. Cheese remains as before. Eggs are steady at the familiar prices, supplies about balance the demand. Receipts were 17,000 pounds of Butter, — pounds of tter, 419 cases of Egss, 2 Cuses Eas s, 15,500 pounds of Cail fornia_Cheese and 11,600 pounds Oregon Cheese.

Peaches and Plums are about out for the | season, and receipts are too insignificant for quotations. Citrus fruits show little change. Oranges are in fair supply and rather easy than otherwise, while stocks of Lemons are ample for all needs. Limes are firm, but fresh supplies are about aue. The narrow gauge train from Santa Clara and Santa Cruz was Iate, and the Grapes missed the northern steamer In consequence, hence they to be carried over. IDUOUS FRUITS.

This is a smaller amount than our average requireme: call for, but for the moment there are n complaints being made by consumers that the; orders are not being filled. Some recent ch: ters have been made for steamers to carry our coast products to this market; these com- bined with our regular carriers will keep th market here fully maintained with fuel.. Th chartered list of coal carriers from Australia now foots up thirty-seven vessels, with a carry- ing capacity of nearly 100,000 tons. A number of these vessels will not reach here this year. There may be somewhat of a scarcity of fuel this winter for domestic uses, still, if consun: ers cannot get grades they have been heretc fore accustomed to burn they will be forced to utilize other substitutes. This shortage will be brought about by the accident occurring to the Wellington colllery in British Columb: Fuel oil is being freely shipped, and is me: ing with ready sales at better prices than hav been ruling for several months past.
