NEW YORK, Sept. CIR G. Dun & Cos,
weekly review of trade says: The volume
of legitimate business continues TO I'm
prove. Crop reports were altogether 1aF-
orable. As to corn the general prices has
nqain declined slightly. In stocks a severe
reaction averaging 8 per share eliminated
last Saturday and there has been an aver
age advance of $3.50 per share. The crop
which is most important IN railroad or
financial aspects is not large. The yield OF
whcatis 50. 100000 to 90,000, 900 bushels short
o full crop. Heavy rains late IN the
season have also injured cotton TO some
extent as to grade and as to quantity, but
the feeling still prevails that large bust
ness NAV be expected for the coming
season.
Though fuller supplies of money at
western and southern centers may cause
demands upon New York to be lighter
than usual. official reports show that the
money in circulation of all kinds was
about s1,361, 100000, September l,
against 81, 1921, 100000 year ago. The
treasury has put out this month about
Foo 900 900 more than it has taken in, be
sides adding to circuiationsthe amount OF
gold and silver coinage. For the past
week the addition to the trade has been
81. 200, 600, and on Thursday S3,760,OOO more
bonds were purchased, Sl.30 being paid for
q per cents The reports from interior
POINTS show that money is generally in
ample supply, though there is still close
ket is light at Atlanta Collections have
improved. For speculation money here IS
in abundant supply, but for commercial
uses the market is growing harder. Busl-
ness is fairly active at all interior points
reporting and at most it is better than a
year ago, but while the principal centers
report good and increasing trade the ac-
counts from several of unusual dizziness at
the smaller towns in regions surrounding
suggest that the distribution may not be
answering expectations.
The iron market grows harder at Phila-
5elphia, though one company still sells al
Els for No. l. Coal is largely on past con
tracts and the output thus far is So pei
rent in excess of last years to date. In
wool prices are shade higher, but the
speculative demand has abaLed.
Foreign trade has improved little, but
exports for the past three weeks from New
York are still sc per cent below the last
years. while imports here show an in
crease of per cent. The preliminary
statements for August show that the ex
ports of the breadstuffs, provisions, cattle
cotton and oil were $, a., 1893 smaller thar
for the same month last year, or % pei
cent, but the last years exports for the
month were exceptionally large.
Wheat has been moderately active, will
sales of %. 100000 bushels, and only one
quarter net advance in price. Corn ha!
declined nc, oats &c and oil 81
Pork products are higher. Dressed hog
lOc less and lard 15c per hundred pounds
Cotton has advanced 1-l6c, with sales O
10000 bales, and coffee &c. with sales o
A06, 600 bags.
Hides and leather has advanced fully
&c.
Meanwhile exports of wheat from this
country for July and August amount t
1S,5000o0 bushels, flour included, against
81, $4,000 bushels last year, and the suppl,
remaining for export is probably "a, coo, 00
bushels greater than last years export
for the rest of the crop year.
The business failures number Dos a
compared with 2l1 last week and 22i tn
week previous TO last. For the CORES
ponding week of last year the failure
were lSS.
