The exhibit this week is in some re-


The exhibit this week is in some re-
spects the most unsatisfactory one We
have ever published. The grand total
shows quite a large loss over the showing
in the same cities last week. The loss falls
most in those cities where Tuesdays 3
eectioE day was observed as a holiday.
The percentage of decrease this week
amounts to SO per cent. against an in.
crease last week of 20.l per cent, and
AS per cent. the previous week.
In New York the percentage Of lie.
crease is 1873 per cent, against gain OF
l7.9 per cent last week. The recurrence
on Tuesday, November S, election day,
and the incidental excitement and alb
sorption OF public interest, confined the
business OF the week to five days, and
with stormy and unsettled weather early
in the week, otherwise more or less
seriously checked operations.
Outside OF New York, instead OF a de
crease, the clearings show u percentage
OF gain, being l3 per cent, against 27.7
per cent. last week. In fhe Southern
States, both New Orleans and Memphis
again fall below the line, the iormef
showing a decrease OF l3.1 per cent.
against 8 = per cent. and the latter . |
against 3 per cent. This falling off is
owing, manly, to the shortage in the
cotton crop, due, in part, to the dimin'
ished size of the crop and in part to the
fact that planters are holding back the
cotton, awaiting better prices.
The western cities, very generally,
show healthy gain. Chicago has gain
ed l79 per cent, against 47.5 last week
Cincinnati III, against 25.+; st. Louis,
where there 10 an unusually active cot
ton movement, Az per cent, against
30.2; Louisville $50, against 500; In.
dianapolis u s, against IL; Cleveland
80 8, against 25.4; Columbus Is, against
"A per cent.
Milwaukee, where the millers have
shut down owing to the high range IN
wheat, shows decrease OF 30. 5 per cent
against an increase OF ii per cent. last
week. Kansas City has gained l.5 per
cent, against 40 per cent. The trans
actions have been rather dull here the
past week, and good deal OF money
has been locked up in grain.
San Francisco shows gain OF ll.3
per cent, against SO per cent. last
week.

roads prevented, to some extent, the
distribution OF goods, has increased it's
