THE STATE or TRADE.
Special kilograms to Bradstreet's point
to volume Of general trade quite equal
to that reported in late weeks, with sat
isfactory inquiry and demand The move
ment of staple goods Is increasing in the
Southwest and West, while in Kansas the
demand Is reported to be better than IN a
corresponding period In any preceding
year. General trade Is quiet at San
francisco, and at New Orleans
has been checked, owing to the
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 specially
wired Bradstreets, point to an unmis-
takably full volume of commercial trans
action, speculative aud otherwise, exceed
ing in the aggregate late exhibits The
weeks total is 1894 ,620, 800 as compared
with S96S,00S 1863 last week, and with
SS42, 699, 225 in the closing week in Sep

week last year The activity in the stock
market, as we'll as investments made,
owing to anticipated October ! disburse-
ments OF interests and dividends, are
largely responsible for the weeks in

New York stock market was strong
and advanced irregularly, with
several reactions, 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 Penn
sylvania road caused a more timid feel
| ing. The transactions of the week were
| 2, 653, 233 shares, against 1896, 1929 last
week. Bonds were strong; the transac-
lions were 50, S67 900, against $40, 032, 600
last week. Money was firmer and rates
were manipulated as high as 10 and 10 per
cent, though the bulk of business in call
loans was at rates varying from to s per
cent. Prices of dry goods have been
sustained, in some lines of cot
tons 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 re-
ports of visible grain and -four stocks to
Bradstreet's show heavy increases since
July, and indicate that both wheat and
corn have been rapidly marketed. The
September cotton report announces a
moderate improvement in condition, ow-
ing to favoring weather The total num-
Der of failures in the United States for nine
months, as reported to Bradstreet's, IS
1852, against 1923 in 1885. The total liza
billties are $77, ll0,6i4, against S90,976,-
/ 35S, and the assets $37 1897, 056, as com
pared with $43, 1854, 500 in three quarters
of 1885 The total failures have fallen be-
low like records for 1885 and 1884, and
the proportion of assets to liabilities is
fractlonslly higher. Canada has had GA
failures since January l., against 9S4 in
1885, but the liabilities have increased
from 81, 1867 to $685., 764, and the as
sets from 1891 1903 to 1920, 1903. The
domestic iron trade continues active and
prices very firm. An advance for next
year is probable Finished iron is about
l-l0c 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 re-
ceipts of grain, large visible supplies, and
conservative attitude OF foreign buyers
are responsible for lower prices. New
Orleans advices point to 20 per cent.
reduction in the Louisiana sugar crop.
Easier London markets, with slow de-
mand for refined sugar, have resulted in
lowest quotations on record.
