FORT WORTH, TEN. sept. ~ 1900 |
A heavy trade is reported to-day In all
lines, but especially so in wholesale and
retail groceries
Eggs have declined cent per dozen.
Butter has decided downward ten
dency.
Chickens have declined 10 cents per
dozen.
1t is said that less than $4,000 pounds
OF spring wool remain in Texas, and quo
tations are withdrawn.
THE STATE OF TRADE.
Special kilograms to Bradstreet's re-
mort continued full volume of general
business, though there have been less
favorable advices from several points.
While the movement Of staple products
from Boston has been good, it has been
less regular, notably in dry
goods, which, however, is re-
garded az natural after the exceptional
activity enjoyed Of late. At s.. Louis
new business continues TO be reported,
but the rate of increase is less than
previously noted. There is quieter tone
to trade at New Orleans, where the pre-
dicted earthquake appears to have pre-
vented the appearance of country buyers
to some extent. The retail trade at
Savannah has been checked since the late
disturbance of the earth, and there re-
mains, of course, much to be done
at Charleston before the commerce
of that city reaches its former
proportions. Owing to late fall
ures on the Pacific coast, business at San
Francisco Is more quiet and somewhat un-
| settled. At most other cities the full vol.
ume of commercial transactions already
noted exceeds totals at like periods in
Immediately preceding years, and In near
ly all instances meets the more conserva-
tive Of the hopeful anticipations reported
within two months past. The Increase
reported in the east-bound trunk-line rail-
way tonnage of late weeks is reflected
In the augmented totals of rail-
way earnings. Those for 40 roads
specially reported to Bradstreet's for the
second week in September, amount to
81, 661 1856, against S4,077,575 in 1885.
From January to date the total is $l2l,-
$50, COO, against SIP, 900 last year, a
gain OF over $9,200,0 900, or per cent.
The bank clearings at 30 cities for the cur
rent week, given to-day exclusively by
Bradstreet's, aggregate $968, 46l, ll5,
against $S75,l7l, 2S2 last week and
800, 34I ,849 in the like week. of
1885. Some of the 10 per cent.
gain this week over last is due,
OF course, to the widening OF the specula
tive market in Wall street. AS against
1885, the increase in clearings is 38 per
cent. The Wall street stock market is
excited, and bull fever prevails, based
on the settlement of the trouble of Read
ing. Prices of nearly all active stocks
show material advance. The
granger shocks form an exception,

favorable to the formation of the North

, amount to 3,400, 600 shares, against 49,
900 shares last week and 900 shares
the preceding week Bonds also partake
of the improvement, the transactions
amounting to $l0,033, 600 against $6,265,
, 900 last week. Foreign exchange is strong,
advancing on purchases OF sterling by
operators in stock arbitrages. The lead
. ing domestic money markets other
than New York continue for the
, most part somewhat easier than
|, last week, though at few the
current continues toward the country and
the demand tends to exceed the immedi.
l ate supply. The principal dry-goods
