Wheat for October delivery fell 70 ofa cents
on Wednesday and in spite OF some recovery
the average for October thus far Is seents pc
low the lowest moLthly average ever maoe,
which was in September, and was nearly ~
cents below the lowest prior TO this year the
October average being 50 cents below that OF
October 1891 or 1881 Western receipts are
only 400 49l bushels for the week against -
O64 3S3 bushels last year and Atlantic ports oSl'-
Os4 bushels against sg3,Sfi bushels last year
but the controlling fact is that no deuanu as

plus. Corn declined \ to / cent during the
week with receipts not quarter OF last year
and exports not a tenth. Pork products were
small and weaker, with lard q quarter cent
lower.

weeks OF October were 10 per cent. less In
value than last year. while the Increase IN
value OF imports has been q per cent. Much

in August and Septembe- the quantity OF
wheat decreased over one-thrL Provisions
and cotton gained but oil decreased, and In
minor products exports in September declined
le per cent The Increase OF i'm
ports exclusive Of sugar, was over
Is per cent. In September, and In two
weeks OF October at New York over 43 per
cent. With this heavy increase in purchases
and a decrease In sales OF products abroad, the
market for foreign exchange Is in position to
be quickly affected by Withdrawals OF capital
or apprehensions regarding the future peace OF
Europe. To the half million dollars exported
Tuesday Il is expected that as much will be
added to-day II appears that three trust COM
panies have now over fi00O0,000 idle money,
and that eastern mill loans are being taken
from New York by English banks, while the
Northwestern demand for money IS unusually
small. The treasury is again falling back
ward In reserve and large imports yield little
less revenue than last year, while internal rev.
enue for the past three weeks Is A,60o0OO
smaller than year ago.
During the past week the failures have been
253 in the United States, against 81 last year.
