II. q. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Rerie . Of
Trode says
The first week OF October shows more ac-
tivty In spite OF the near approach Of the
Presidential election. Busne.si Is distinct
ly better at the South on account Of tho
Improvements In the price of cotton; more
sctive ut the West, with improved crop
prospects, and only slightly retarded at the
East The moderate increase In the demand
Tor money ut New York, which preceded
the October settlement, has passed without
any Embarrassment, and the rate for money
on call has declined from 81 b. ~ per cent,
While Mt other cities the money market,
are reported abundsntly supplied with
funds. The expected reaction from the cx-
tremc low price Of cotton helps business nj
the South, and, although wheat Is low in
price, II Is little better than II was week
ago. 4
