FRIDAY. Oct. 24-6P. NJ.
There continues an active movement in almost
every description of merchandise. and speculation
Is making such Roadway has not been known
these many years. not since the days of imitation. 1t
is much to be feared that merchandise will be forced
away beyond it's real value. rendering collapse u
matter OF certainty. Abundant harvests. an active
outflow of cereals and stable oil tend to induce
active trade and higher scale of prices
that material enhancement Of values those
during the period Of depression from which
have just emerged would BIO matter of but prices
have already in some advanced to much higher
figures than there would be for while
there is indication that they will go higher The
speculation in wheat has carried prices higher point
than the most ssnguine expected but little while ago
and though the fluctuations radical the general
dency all along has been upward and there who
think they will be much higher independent Of the
export movementthe Market being under the complete
control the spectators nssmuch of the largest
shippers also the most active spectators 1t is difficult

trade active while in hardware is and has been
active than almost known In drugs and chem
icals there probably such activity, and with
abroad and at the primary markets been easy
