profits are marrow. AZ Pittsburgh pig iron is
weaker, but Manufactured iron and steel is in
Bcod demand; glass trade fair. AT Cleveland
trade is good in all lines; excepting less de-
mand for manufactured iron. At Detroit bust
ness ts equal to last years and manufacturers
are active. at Cincinnati retail trade is i'm
proving and manufacturers fully employed. AT
Chicago some decrease is seen Ia cured meats
lard, butter and cheese, but slight increase in
barley, 2Oper cent. in -four, the weeks trade,
being the largest Of the year
An increase of d third in eattis and
oats, of half in hides, and receipts of dressed
beef and corn are double and of rye and wheat
three times last years. Merchandise sales
are very favorable. There Is The same coils
fidence at st. Paul, Where cold weather stimu-
lates trade and Minneapolis saw1ni1ls have
closed the largest season on record, while flour
b1ills, though troubled by ice, turn out 5000
barrels daily. AT MilwaukHe there Is satisfads
tory trade, but larger IL the west where crops
And n n6ney are plenty. At Kansas City there is
healthy activity, and cattle and grain receipts
improve. At Denver trade is very good, but at
Salt Lake dull with slow collections. The
southern cities report better; at Nashville and
Montgomery Trade Is vefy fair, at Charleston
good with improving exports. AT New Orleans
receipts of cotton and sugar are large and both
in good demand, and Savannah alone reports
present trad light and money easier, but
prospects bright Speculation during the past
week h6s not been active here, but c&rner at
Chicago has put up corn for immediate delivery
6 cents, and pork is 25 cents higher, oats 11s
cents and wheat FIVE eight cent higher, while
cotton and sugar are heavy, The feeeipts Of
cotton exceed these Of the same week last year
by 5000 bales, and the exports by $1,000 bales,
but the stocks in this country are 521 600 bales
larger. Wheat receipts at the west continue at
the rate Of more than 100000 bushels for the
full week. and experts have been 900, 900 bushels
Of wheat alone from Atlantic ports for three
days of the present week. Corn is coming for
ward fairly, and after November a sharp de-
cline in prices is expected. Oil and coffee show
no considerable change. The volume Of specu.
lation Ia most lines Is fortunately so restricted
that legitimate business and the movement of
products are not at present embarrassed. In
the great Industries the outlook has improved.
There is better demand for iron, and sales of
pig are liberal. Some Virginia iron is offered
very low and S16 at Providence for No. l is
quoted Bar is in better demand. Plates are in
fair demaud but structural iron is little
weaker, and steel bllets are at the lowest price
ever recorded S26. On the whole there are evil
dences of enormous consumption already,
nearly equal to the production, with prospects
of an increase next year. The market for cop
per is unsettled; tin is slightly higher, lead
changed anil coal dull. The market for woolen
goods distinctly improves with colder weather,
though some holders make slight concessions on
old stocks. Cotton goods are fairly active,
though print cloths accumulate. Money is
comparatively easy and collections generally
fair
