BUSINESS ON A BIG BOOM.
POLITICAL EXCITEMENT FAILS TO
CHECK TRADE.

The Volume of Legitimate Dealings
Unprecedented for This Season of the
Year-Speculators the Ones Most
Affected by the Campaign-An In
crease in the Number of Failures.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
review Of trade for the week is as follows
The interruption Of trade by the political
excitement has increased, as is natural aud
yet the volume of business continues larger
than usual and probably larger than in
any previous year at this season. The
single fact that bank exchanges, outside Of
New York, in the last week but one OF a
presidential campaign, exceeded those of
last year by l0l3 per cent, the clearings of
last year having been exceptionally large,
proves that the volume of legitimate bust
ness is unprecedented, for only part of the
increase can be attributed to excess of
speculative operations.
SPECULATION MOST AFFECTED.
Indeed, The speculative markets appear
to have been more affected by political iu-
tere~t than other departments of business,
and in stocks the sales here have been only
about 100000 shares for the week; in
wheat about So 900 bDshels; in cotton
dDOuJ oDJ,pDJ DleS, ana III the OuDeE mar
kets rather smaller than usual
Reports from interior poi is indicate
marked improvement in the volume of
trade at Nashville, Memphis and Detroit
and satisfactory business at nearly all other
cities, but at Philadelphia, Pitt burg and
K nsas City the prevailing quiet is at
trlbuted to political excitement.
MONEY IN GOOD SUPPLY.
The money markets appear well supplied
at nearly every repor ing point, with the
usual rates maintained, but a shade of
s.rilgency is noted at St Paul, and an
active demand at Kansas City, with some
Doubt about the business prospects in West
ern Kansas, which leads to caution in deal
ings with that section. Otherwise the re-
ports of the condition of trade are better
than usual, and an improvement in collec-
tions is noticed at the southwest and in
northwestern centers.
In the IRON business, the sales On October
are thought to have considerably exceeded
the production. Transactions of Co slider
able magnitude are noted, including sales
by the Thomas company for 1889 delivery
at SlS. Tho closing Of contracts for u 500
tons of rails for the Vanderbilt roads made
the week one of exceptionally large trans
actions, but quotations are still $21 30 70
S2S at the eastern mills. Bar iron is easier
but prices grow more irregular, and the
former quotations for nails are not quite
maintained.
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
The exports increase little exceeding
those of last year for the past four weeks
about 3 per cent, while the imports fall
below last years about per cent.
With wheat, cora, coffee, lard and pc
troleum little lower than week ago, the
general average of prices nevertheless re-
mains substantially unchanged, the quota
tions on articles not the object of specula-
ton being, on the whole, little higher

American Critics on Bret Harte.


F. C. STEDMAN, the Poet and Essayist,
must be counted among the treasures of the
language"
The late e. P. WHIPPLE, the famous Boston
critic: "Bret Harte has great sharpness of
merely external observation; he has, also, great
depth of moral insight He nterpretS rude
dennis. He touches that vital virtue in their
nmOSt souls which will, in the end, degenerate
their coarse natures. He may be tolerant of
their he ettng SINS but his liberation is of that
sort which tends to lift rather than to justify
them. In short, he is thoroughly christian in
and pathcs though he is artstcally careful to
conceal his end in his means, and to teach
morality while seeming to dispense with it,"
VI. w. HAZELTINE, the Literary Critic OF
the New York sun: Few writers of our own
or any recent generation can vie with Bret
Harte in the mastery of our smiles and tears"
WARREN CHENEY in the Overland Monthly:
Had Dickens lived in California, bis impress
sons would have given us stories of the same
spirit as Mr.. Hartes. SO far as he has given
his art to the production and delineation of
California life, his work has all the stamp OF
originality and genius
His work has appeared in prominent journals
of all countries
Macmt ldn's Magazine and the London Has
trdted NeCS in England.
Revue de deLr Mondes, the great literary
magazine of France.
Deutsche Ru,.dschaU. the leading monthly of
Germany.
Reri.fa Euopeo, the chief review Of Italy.
Mosh:otC Gazette, the most influential journal
OF Russia.
And in prominent papers and periodicals in
Lisbon and Madrid.
