NEW YoRK, Oct s7-xR. q. Dun u
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says;
Bushes continues large in volume and
generally profitable. In many cases
there Is noteworthy expansion ON ac-
count OF the new opportunities which
the revised tariff gives. Prizes OF stock
have been industriously assailed during
the past week but have declined com
paratively little. Though the trunk
line association has made no perceptible
progress toward settlement, the rates
charged seem TO be rather more satis-
factorily maintained. Meanwhile the
volume of other business is far greater
than ever before and the outlook IL con-
sidered satisfactory at all commercial
eenters.
Trade Oatside Of New York.
Boston finds the boot and shoe trade
encouraging and prices in that line are
firm. Sales Of wool are rather large,
gmounting TO a,204, 300 pounds bnt
there Is distinct imoroyement in the
market for wooden goods aud manufac-
turers are more hopeful. Cotton goods
ial declines. At Chicago there is a
marked decrease In receipts Of cured
meats, dressed beef, lard, butter and
hides but in cheese ard wool an in
crease, and the volume Of business con-
tinues larger than year ago with satis-
factory collections in dry goods and
clothing. AT St Louis the state of bus
iness Is healthy. At Milwaukee trade
Ii satisfactory and money unusually ac-
tive at 10 per cent; at st. Paul trade
is excellent and at Minneapolis receipts
of wheat reach 1 5000 bushels; at
Kansas City trade Ia healthy and at
Denver good.
A Little Monetary Pressure south.
There i rather more indication Of
monetary pressure at Southern points,
and at Savannah receipts of 80, 434 bales
of cotton and large receipts of resin and
turpentine make money tight, but busi-
ness Is dull al Jacksonville and only
fairly active in the Louisiana region.
The money markets are on tine whole
less disturbed than they were a week
age, but there liz an increasing scarcity
of funds at some OF the Western and
Southern centers.
The demand for boots and shoes con-
Times encouraging, and advances in
prices Of hides and leather are main
tanned The iron business Is hesitating,
and bessemer iron Is weak az pitishurg
and Philadelphia. But the demand for
all finished products continues SO large
large that the capacity Of the mills
seem TO be strained 10 the utmost, aud
while no advance IN price IN reported the
market In everywhere strong.
Bread saufT Markets Advance.
The markets for breadstuffs continue
90 advance. Wheat has risen "A cents
during the week, corn nearly cent and
oats nearly cents. The foreign de-
mand affords no support 10 this specuia-
tion, and the exports are Ear below
those Of the corresponding week last
year. The market for cotton has yielded
d sixteenth, and while exports are very
large, the reports indicate the largest
crop ever grown. Hogs are steady ami
pork shade lower.
Failures during the last seven days
number for the United States 203; for
Canada, 22; total, 225. as compared with
q total Of s27 last week. For the CORE
spending week Of last year the figures
were 2s5, representing 1s8 failures in the
United States and 81 In Canada.
