share on the whole, though in other markets
the weakness still continues. Meanwhile.
the general condition OF industries and trade
throughout the country is not only remark
ably good but improving perceptibly from
week to week, although the exports of mer-
chandise are not yet large enough to prevent
some exports of gold.
General trade at Chicago is larger than a
year ago, with favorable crop prospects. Re-
celptS of lard, butter and cheese show some
increase over last year; Of wheat sixth. of
wool third. and of flour and hides one
half. while in cotton decrease of third ap-
pears, and a large decrease in rye and barley,
with small decrease in other articles.
Milwaukee trade is fairly good, tobacco
having been little damaged by frosts, while
corn is kept back by cool rains. and at Min
neapolls crop prospects are fair. lumber is
active and strong and general trade good. AT
st. Paul trade improves with brighter pros
poets, and while average crops are expected
higher prices are judged probable. Al Oma-
ha trade is active in groceries and dry goods
and fair in other branches. st. Louis re-
ports strong trade, and railroads taxed to
carry grain. At Kansas City trade is i'm
proving. receipts of cattle and grain being
heavy, and at Denver business is good.
The iron industry grows active. Nearly
all works are full of orders, and the output
is now heavy. Nails have advanced 10 cents
per keg, but some weakness appears in prices
of structural and plate iron. 4 meeting Of
nallmakers next week may give that branch
chance for larger business. Copper is un-
certain with sales at 11l2 cents Business in
tin has been checked by speculation. and
lead is weaker at T. Is cents. The expected
war between the Pennsylvania and the Read
ing adds to the dullness i'll coal. Boots ana
shoes are in great demand.
Cattle receipts at Chicago for the year are
13 per cent larger than last year, and receipts
OF all live stock there In August were nearly
rs per cent larger.
Wheat has sold at 77l9c. and excepting in
frr0 dox in no lnn hou hon,

$4,000 bu in four days, against 1,7ol 600
Atlantic exports. Oats are l2c higher, but
corn is much lower, with Frightening crop
prospects at the West and coffee is nm eighth
lower. Cotton has advanced 1-l6c during the
week, although the Financial Chronicle
makes the last crop 9.03S, 900 bales and the
decrease in acreage this year only IL per
cent.
With restricted exports of products at
present foreign exchange Is steadily strong.
but the treasury has put out of new notes
stocks Of gold and silver. and the money
markets throughout the country are
amply supplied, while collections i'll
all quarters are very fair for the
season. 1t is expected that some more gold
will 90 out this week, but no apprehension
appears AS yet on account of this unusually
continued movement, because the supplies
OF currency available are remarkably large.
and the interior markets appear to demand
less money from seaboard centers than is
usually demanded al this season.

out the country during the last seven days

Canada, 33 or a total of l79, as compared
with totals of 176 last week, and $50 the week
previous to the last For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 2l4 repre-
sentlng lS7 failures in the United States, and
