NEW YORK. Oct. Especial kilograms
equal to that reported last week, with
Satisfactory inquiry and demand. The
movement of staple goods is increasing in
thAsouthwest and west. while in Kansas
the demand is reported to be better than in
a corresponding period of any previous
preceding year. General trade is quite good
at San Francisco. AT New Orleans it has
been checked, owing to tn e approach of the
close of the month, as well as to the scare
produced by the prediction of an
earthquake. The bank clearings at
thirty cities, as especially wired Bradstreets
point to an Enthusiastically full volume of COM
mercial transactions, speculative and other
wise, exceeding in the aggregate late ex-
hibitS. The weeks total is 1894, $40, CSC,
as compared with 1868, 003, S69 last eek,
and with SS42, 699. 255 in the closing week
of September, 1885, gain of $40 per
cent. on the week. and of 6-10 per cent,
as against the like week last year. The
activity in the stock market, as well as in
vestments made owing to anticipated Oct.
1 disbursements of interest and dividends,
are largely responsible for the weeks in
crease. The gross earnings Of ferty-three
railways for the third week in September
as reported to Bradstreet s, aggregate S4,-
155, 1856, against So, $50, 29O in the like week
of 1885. The earnings of the forty-four
roads from Jan. to date are S134, 0S6. 1913
against S123. 427, 900 last year, a gain Of
S10 $50, 526 during the nine months past.
The New York stock market was strong
and advanced irregularly, with several re-
actions though the temper of the market
was generally bulliSh. At the close fears
of danger to the Trunk line pool from the
dissatisfaction of the Pennsylvania road
caused more timid feeling. The transac-
lions of the week were 1858. 23S shares
against 5, 3S5. 500 last week. Bonds were
strong. The transactions were SO, SGT. 500
against $40, 032, 600 last week. Money was
firmer and rates were manipulated as high
as 10 and Is per cent. though the bulk
of business in call loans was at rates vary
ing from to s per cent. Prices of dry
goods have been sustained in some lines.
Cottons advanced and the demand is good.
The wool market continues very strong,
as manufacturers are buying with more
freedom. American wool prices
are said to be lower than foreign. The
quarterly reports of visible grain and -four

since July and indicate that both wheat and
corn have been rapidly marketed. The
September cotton report announces mod
crate improvement in condition owing to
favorable weather. The domestic iron
trade continues active and prices are very
firm. An advance for next week is proba-
bic. Finished iron is about 1-10c higher
per pound. Anthracite coal is fairly active
at the ordered advances. but petroleum,
hog products. wheat, Indian corn and
sugar are lower. The heavy receipts Of
grain, large visible supplies and the con-
sentative attitude of foreign buyers are re-
sponsible for lower prices. New Orleans
advices point to 25 per cent. reduction in
the Louisiana sugar crop. Easier London
markets. with slow demand for refined
sugar, have resulted in the lowest quotation
on record.
