most points, and that the money markets.
are the whole comparatively easy, al
though the crops to be moved are enormous
and the actual movement unprecedented.
Wheat receipts at the west for three DAYS OF
this week have averaged more than l,ooo,ooo
bushels daily, and though exports are only
about as large, the foreign demand sumees
to strengthen the price, which has risen
cents in the past week on sales of about 3d..
o0O 900 bushels here. Corn has declined
rapidly. the fear of harm from frost van
ishes, and is sl2 cents lower than Week
ago, while oats are PA cents lower Laro
and hogs have declined with corn, but mess
pork is held up by speculation. Cotton mas
also declined 3-16, for while reports indicate
that the yield may be much smaller imam
that of last year, foreign buying Is mucn
diminished and the stocks on hand here ana
abroad are large. Coffee has declined three
quarters of a cent, while oil has advanced
cents. 1t is a surprising fact that. notwith-
standing the output of pig iron is almost
the price grows more steady ana
decidedly better tone is observed
in all the important markets. The delivery
of rails to September l were about 699,Ooo
tons, though the demand for other iron ana
steel is better. An awakening is seen In the
boot and shoe business, although ship
ments are not at present equal to those or
last year. but the manufacturers have more
satisfactory orders and the feeling is moro
confident. The woollen manufacture is do
ing remarks ably well in some branches, par
tculary in worsteds and dress goods and
the demand for dress goods notably ex-
ceeds the present supply. 1t is believed
that in all wool caSSimeres much bust
ness is being done ever. Print cloths
have advanced little, and it is believed
that this has been the largest season
known in prints. The treasury has paid
out but little money for bonds presented
during the last week, and hence has a little
increased it stock of cash on hand but re-
cepts in part of the gold recently shipped
from Europe have strengthened the New
York banks In spite of the large outgoes to
the interior.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days,
number, for the United States, 2l0, and for
Canada, 20, total of 233; compared
with total of PA last week, and 2l7 for the
week previous to the last. For the CORE
