The Demand for Currency Has Consider
ably Increased.
Il. G. Dun 4 Co. 3 weekly review OF trade
says:
Scarcely week has passed since Government Z
purchases OF bonds and heavy payments made
the street certain that there could be no mene-
tary pressure this fall Now people are alking
again about possible experts in gold foreign
change is higher. and rates for money have adj
yanced. The exports OF products are remarkably
large for the season-for the two weeks 40 per
cent. above last year's-but the imports OF mer-
chandise are also heavy, and the unrecordei
imports of securities returned from abroad
tend To turn the scales At every Wost-
ern and Southern center money 4 in
fair supply, with demand generally
good, but brisk at Milwaukee and such at Chi
cago that an advance in rates Is expected. The
violent storm has disturbed business not n lit
tie along the sea coast, aud affected purchases
for the interior. but in all other respects the
week has been one OF sati sfactory business.
Nearly all interior cities report trade active
or improving. Though the Government crop
report was thought slightly unfavorable, other
accounts all concur IN satisfactory views, and
the course of trade at interior points maui
tests the confidence of local dealers. the
wool mark ct is nominally firm, but If manufac-
turers refuse u buy the expected lower
prices will come. The grocery trade has been
much affected by the weather and sugar is also
weakt ned by the conviction that "A fall inpends.
Breadstuns have been comparatively inactive;
wheat is half a &C n higher and corn "A quarter
lower. Coffee advanced another half cent, and
oil cents, but hogs and lard are lower On the
whole speculation in products Is making I'M
usually little disturbance this year, and the
large crops are therefore all the more likely To
go into consumption promptly and at moderate
prices. The business failures during the last
seven days number for the United States l70,
and for Canada 70. For the corresponding week
OF last year'the figures were 100 for tho United
States and "a in Canada.

THE CARDINALS COMPROMISE.
II l. Accepted by the London Dock Compa-
MES and the Strikers.


The great strike which has paralyzed
London for several weeks. and at times
m naced it with riot and bloodshed has at
last been ended Through the mediation of
Cardinal Manning. At the final conference.
the Cardinal submitted definite proposals
from the strikers, the chief point being
that the payment of increased wages
shoull commence on Nov. 4. and the
terms were accepted by the dock
companies, after a protracted debate.
in which the Cardinal urged the duty
of the Directors to concedc the demands
and thus restore the city 10 tranquility.
Work will accordingly be resumed at once.
There is an almost unanimous agreement
Of opinion that the amicabe and mutually
creditable settlement Of the trouble. now
apparently secured is entirely due to the
untiring efforts and great sagacity of Car
dinal Manning. who voluntarily took the
part Of mediator between the obstinate
contending parties.
