investment, and Eastern disturbances are
little felt.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Grain receipts and cured meats equal last
years. A slight loss is seen in dressed beef,
butter and cheese, and a heavy loss in hides,
but liberal gain in wool and lard, while
trade in drygoods, clothing and shoes is
much larger, with satisfactory collections.
No other Western point shows disturbance
in trade, though money is generally close.
AT st. Louis the rate is to per cent, and
the volume of trade larger. At Cincinnati
money is light but collections very fair; the
clothing season exceeds expectations, and
the grocery trade is very good. AT Detroit
money is close at z, collections very fair,
and manufacturing active. Michigan wheat
is showing per cent increase. At Cleve-
land money is tight collections satisfactory,
and trade good except for clothing. At
Milwaukee money is close at z, collections
satisfactory, and Eastern troubles do not
check trade.
BRISK TRADE FURTHER WEST.
At Omaha, St. Paul, Denver and Kansas
City money is in strong demand, collections
healthy and business good. Southern cities
make much the same report. Baltimore re-
ports all business healthy, mills running
full and trade brisk, with satisfactory col
lections. New Orleans finds money active,
cotton receipts below last year, but sugar
and rye liberal, with good demand for all.
Atlanta reports easy money and good trade.
Savannah reports money tight, but trade
active. At Jacksonville earlier Northern
travel than usual causes activity. These
accounts show 8 remarkably encouraging
condition of business, but more than the
usual scarcity of money in spite of good
collections.
IRON BUSINESS SMALLER.
The iron output November /, was III, ,95S
TONS weekly, against 179, ,263 October 1, and
considerable decrease in productions is
expected if prices yield. The demand for
manufactured products is not distinctly
smaller, and in railroad supplies decrease
is foreshadowed by financial troubles.
The coal trade is dull, holders trying to
realize October prices, and the high price of
coke causes complaint Tin is three-eights
lower, copper steady and lead weak, because
of considerable importations.
India rubber is lower. The boot and shoe
trade is somewhat checked by the prospect
of reaction in leather, but prices range
higher than last year. In drygoods there is
observed some hesitancy by buyers, but
mills are we'll sold up, woolens realize
signify DeIUer prizes III sOuS CASTS, duu
dress goods are firm.
FARM PRODUCTS.
Breadstuffs are lower, exports in October
showing heavy decrease. Wheat falls 8
cents for the week; corn, ~ cents, and oats
nearly cents Pork products are steady,
coffee and cotton unchanged, and oil is 81
cents lower. In general, speculation in
products is less active than usual.
The Treasury has put out 100000 more
silver notes, but taken in s., 400, 900 more of
other money. its offer to buy bonds being in
effective.
While exports of products were enormous
in October, they have fallen II per cent be-
low last years for November thus far at
New York, but larger excess over imports
fails to affect the money market since the
movement of securities this way is large.
1t is not to be forgotten that the demand for
money is largely due to the unprecedented
volume of business thus far.
