NEW YORK, August 27.-Speeial tele-
grams to BudSrea's report continuance
of the favorable trade features heretofore
noted. The movement Of general mer-
chandise is fully equal to that in past
weeks, while the total volume for
August thus far is Equal to, and in
some things in excess Of like Pc
riods in preceding years The total hank
clearings at thirty cities show decline Of
S93, ,O65, Gas, or lOl per cent rs compared
with last week. The shipments Of dead
freight east from Chicago show marked
increase as compared with last week and
the receipts Of grain at primary markets
are heavy.
THE DOMESTIC MONEY MARKES
are fairly firm and at the East the demand
is noticeably in excess Of the supply, ow-
ing to the special demand at this time for
funds to pay for grain forwarded. II is
noteworthy that the demand for funds for
use in commercial and industrial enter
prises at the West continues large.
The New York stock market has been
dull and heavy owing to the stringency Of
the money market here, the unsettled con-
dition of the London market and the dis
turbed condition of politics in Eastern
Europe. The money market is firm. Call
loans are Gas per cent. and time loans arc
sac per cent. Both are
DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN.

ing to the advance in the Bank OF England
rate. The New York Stock Exchange
transactions this week aggregated s53, 900
shares against i02, 900 shares last week,
and the bonds sales aggregated s, ,OOo,O ,OO
against s., OO0, 900 a week ago.

bers l. active and with agents moderate.
Owing to the rcclassiication Of railway
freights ON dry goods, shipments from New

can and foreign, have been heavy. Cotton
hanncls have also been in active demand.

firm, and any material gain in demand Is
likely 10 ausc
INCREASED Production.

- cents per ton. old rails are stiif at
81. ~ per ton, at which figure makers arc
receiving about s. profit, No advance IL
probable in the near future. The Kansas
corn crop will he larger than expected
which has helped trade in that region.
The spring wheat crop in Minnesota h also
| in excess of late anticipations. The price
~ wheat has declined 10 some extent owing
Ia expectation of heavy deliveries
To increased visible supply, and.
to frccr selling by holders. The cot
ton reports are more favorable; much
damage has been done by the storm IN
southwestern Texas.
The total number Of failures in thu
United States this week was iJ0, against
l39 last week, and liG the like week last
year. Canada had 20 this week, against
II last week, and < the same week last
year.
The improved demand for sugar has
caused q small local advance, but the an .
