Of such a movement to believe that the crop Is
materially smaller than that OF 1890. and they
remember how all sorts of reports, even 1nciud-
inc those of the Department of Agriculture, con-
tributed last year to deceive the public as 10
the size of the crop II the accounts so industri-
ouslv circulated this year have been equally
misleading. they have fallen upon less credulous
ears.
The price of corn has been maintained IN u
surprising manner, considering the great crop tnao
will soon begin to come forward. but the sup
NV i'm sight is very small, that spectators
can do what they please for the time, ana Tine
farmers appear to be in no haste to send new corn
70 market The past week has seen another
decline in pork products, and hogs have Deeh
weaker st the West Oats are cent lower Tor
the week, and oil a fraction lower. Wheat has
Welded a fraction for November. and western
receipts continue very heavy, about 9,ooo'ooo
bushels last week, in spite OF the talk at some
points about farmers holding back grain under
orders from the Alliance Exports OF wheat have
not been correspondngly large, but in four weeks
have exceeded ii. 900 900 bushels, -four included,
from Atlantic ports alone. While some f2ieign
writer's are continually arguing Tor very hsh
prices, the fact remains that the quahuty OF
wheat sold by farmers at about present quota
tions is enormous, while the expected kussiah
prohibition Of exports does not yet arrive, anu
India continues to forward about a million busli-
els per week, having exported from April to
October "a over 36,700O00 bushels, against
l5IOOOOO bushels last year in the same time
The market for wool grows a little weaker, es-
pecially for Territory wool. and manufacturers
are buying sparingy because the state of the mar

pet mills are working largely. though prices are
very low, and the dress goods and worsted goods
works are well and proftably employed. Probably
there is more cloth and wooen clothing brought
over from previous seasons in proportion to the
quantity required than Of almost any other
product, fact which would explain the delay
in Improvement of that industry There hrs
been quite change OF tone in the iron Market
and lower prices than ever are reported for some
manufactured products, while unexpected hnan-
cial weakness of some producers OF pig canses
haste to sell. But the consumption is enormous,
and seems to be a little increasing, and some
further sales Of rails are reported.
Money has been abundant and fairly low, not
withstandng the advance of rates by the Bank
of England caused a bit Of stir. AS gold con-
tinues to move, over $1,600,000 having been
shipped from Europe last week, and large eX.
ports ensure further supplies the strife between
European banks seems to concern rather the share
which either shall be forced to spare than the
aggregate amount to be forwarded Merchandise
imports last week were little larger than year
ago but for four weeks fall short SO much that
the aggregate for the month may not reach
$64, OO0 900. Produce exports in four weeks
have exceeded the actual, though not the re-
ported, exports of last year, so that judging from
New-Yorl returns only, an aggregate Of about
1913 100000 might be expected. At that rate,
the excess of exports over imports for the month
would be considerably more than the S26, OOOo 900
of last year, and about equal to the S29,OOOooO
of the year before. The Treasury has made little
change in currency during the week, excepting
that it has put out 81 100000 more new notes
