MONEY is TIGHT,
But Trade Outside of New York Is Re-
ported Good.

ported GOOD.
NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says: Re
ports from other cities show that at most
points the events in Wall street have
had little or no effect as yet. At Boston
transactions have been somewhat linn
tied and money is firm at high rates;
wool sales are smaller, 2,5OO, 600 pounds
for the week; leather is quiet and easier
and hides dull and lower; boot and shoe
manufacturers are getting the recent
vance in prices with shipments exceed
ing last yeal's, and lumber is quiet. At
Philadelphia money is tight and little
commercial paper offered or selling:
wool manufacturers are buying more
literally, with slight advance in some
grades. AT Chicago money is active at
2 per cent, but country banks are send
ing in funds for investment and East
ern disturbances are little felt: grain re-
celpts and cured meats equal last years,
While trade in dry goods, clothing and
shoes is much larger
Money Tight, but Business Good.
No other western point shows disturb
ance IN trade, though money is generally
close. At ST. Louis the rate is to s
per cent and the volume of trade large:
at Detroit money is close, manufactnr-
ing active, Michigan wheat area show
ing Pc cent increase: at Milwaukee
money IS close and Eastern troubles do
not check trade: at Omaha, ST. Paul,
Denver and Kansas City money is in
strong demand. Southern cities make
much the same report. New Orleans
hnds money active, cotton receipts be-
low last year. il. >'tyaT and rice liberal,
with good demand for all, and Sayan-
nan reports money tight. but trade &C.
tive. At jacksonville, earlier Northern
travel than usual causes activity. These
accounts SHOW a remarkably encourage
ing condition Of business. but more than
usual scarcity Of money in spite of good
collections.
Trade in Various Lines
The coal tradesis dull, holders trying
to reallze October prices, and the high
price Of coke causes complaint. Tin is
lower at ii cents. Copper is steady
and lead weak at $3.50 because of con
siderable importatious. India rubber is
lower at - cents fer Psrafine. The
boot and shoe trade is somewhat checked
by the prospect Of reaction in leather,
but pIlces range u to 10 cents per pair
higher than last year. In dry goods
there Is observed some hesitarcy by
buyers, but mills are well sold up. wool
ems realize slightly better prices and in
some cases dress goods are firm.
BreaGsta affs Are Lower,
exports in October showing heavy de-
crease. Wheat falls 5 cents for the
week, corn q cents and oats nearly 2
cents. Pork products are steady, coffee
and cotton unchanged. The stock mar
ket, after the severe decline on Monday
and Tuesday, rallied little, but was
weaker again on Thursday and Friday
forenoon and much affected by rumors
of further failures feared. The treas
ury has put out $60o,0O0 more silver
notes, but taken in 81 100000 of other
money, Its offer to buy bonds being in
effective.
Exports and Imports.
While exports of products were enor-
nous in October. they have fallen off u
per cent. below last Years for Novem-
Der thus far at New York. In October
exports of the principal products were
12,53e, ,O3S, against %11l ,21S. .923 last year
when the aggregate of exports was the
largest ever known. But the state of |
money markets abroad and of the trad
ng in securities prevents movement of !
specie in this direction. and for some
lime to come pressure in the money |
market here is probable.
