STATE OF TRADE.
II. G. Dun's Weekly Review OF the Condi-
ton of the Markets.

NEW YORK, October l7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: In all
directions of business the outlook i'm
proves The volume of trade so increases,
that notwithstanding the recent enormous
increase of circulation, the money markets
are growing stringent. Exports have been
remarkably large and the domestic trade is
such that exchanges outside New York
exceed last years by Is per cent. But
while New York and Boston money mar
kets are fairly supplied and steady at > to 6
per cent, the market is tight at Chicago
and stringent at Philadelphia. At Pitts
burg there is a good demand without
stringency. Trade Is strong every
where. At Boston wool is rising
At Philadelphia wool is more active
and slightly higher. Chicago reports
smaller receipts of grain, cured mcItsl
dressed beef. cheese and butter than year
ago, but receipts of wool are larger. At
Pittsburg the iron and glass trade were
good with prospects of an advance in win
dow glass. The weekly output of pig iron
in September was 1876 per cent. larger than
year ago. There are more sales of pig at
Cleveland and all manufactured iron is in
large demand.
At Pittshnrg pig is allittle weak. Bes
semer iron and steel is growing stronger
At Philadelphia the steadiness in pig is
encouraging, though Ressemer is weak,
but all finished products are in strong de-
mand The noteworthy fact at New York
is the sale of Tennessee iron, Lucy or
Ensley brand, and strict No. ! foundry, at
sl6.25 per ton.
: OF the textile industries, the increasing
demand for cotton and wool bears witness,
though the production of print cloths at
present prices is held Improbable Spec
ulation in wheat made further progress
this week, the price raising IL cents on
small sales. But the exports are
practically stopped; in September only
500. $50 bushels, against 2,223, l04 last year,
went from the Atlantic ports, and thus far
in October only small part of last years
export. Corn also goes abroad but little,
having advanced during the week only an
eighth. while oats have risen nc. But
the export movements of cotton is extraor-
dinarily large, and the exports in provis-
ions are also very heavy.
The new tariff has caused an advance in
prces of some kinds OF goods, which toSeth-
er with the rise resulting from partial
failure of crops, has moved up the gen
eral level of prices materially, though
less than one per cent. on all commodities
since October 2nd. But the higher range
of prices accounts in part for the quick
absorption of Il circulation far greater than
that of last year.
The business failures during the last
seven days number 221, rs compared with
2l5 last week. For the same week last
year there were 223.

the Sanscrit language. India is about
the only country where you can make a
direct assault upon Mohammcdism
without entailing serious con-
sequences. One great trouble in in
Producing the gospel in that
country is TO find people willing to lis
ten. They are not eager to receive the
Gospel, and it is sometimes only by the
most ingenious devices that you can
effectively approach them. The speak
er alluded to the extremely bad weather
of that climate, and the many Difficult
ties that had to be overcome I'm order to
successfully cope with the natives. He
gave a description OF 4 hospital which
had been established there in connec-
tion with the missionary work, and how
through the medium Of this institution
they were brought into closer and more
sympathetic communion with the sub
jects with which they had to deal.
Rev. John NJ. Kyle. of Brazil. was
next introduced, who stated that he had
been in that field eight years. The
speaker gave very comprehensive de-
scription OF the work of that country.
and showed remarkable familiarity
with the social and political history OF
that Republic. Such was the extent of
the work I'm that locality that the
speaker felt that fully hundred more
ministers could be advantageously used
over that wide stretch Of territory.
Secretary Arthur Mitchell, of the
American Board OF Foreign Missions.
was next introduced, and he spoke at
some length upon the work that was
going on in various quarters. At the
beginning Of his talk he quoted the re-
mark of celebrated Missionary author
lty that missionaries had done more
for the intellectual and relig-
iOus advancement OF India
than all the other agencies
and influences combined. A large por-
tion of his address was in relation to the
work in China and the wonderful possi-
bilities Of that country for the carrying
on of the missionary work. He spoke
of the enormous vitality Of these 4OO.-
100000 of people,'a tceming population
that almost fills one with awe The
speaker had personally travelled all over
the Empire, and gave the fruits Of his
own rich experience.
When we recall the fact there are
three times as many people in
China as there were in what was
commonly termed the historical
Roman Empire, we can imagine some
thing of the enormous missionary un-
dertaking. Mr.. Mitchell referred to the
unity OF government aud language in
China, of the fertility of the soil, of the
natural resources OF the country. and
wound up by calling the attention of the
audience TO the great responsibility
which rested upon Presbyterian work
erS in shaping the future of this great
and marvellous empire.
The four addresses were all listened
to with the deepest interest. and the
evening was a decidedly profitable one.
