SMALL PURCHASES
They Have Characterized the
Weeks Trade.
The Wheat Market is AgaiT
Lower Than Ever.
DEMAND FOR IRON
Tt Seems Better Than 1t Was a
Month Ago.

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade says: With the chief
money crops of the West and South
sinking in value it is not strange that
purchases of manufactured products
are smaller than was expected Wheat
has touched the lowest point ever
known for options, and cotton the
lowest ever known in any form with
the present classification, and the ac-
emulation of stocks in both products
is discouraging to the purchasers for
an advance. Producers are compelled
to sell at prices below the ordinary
cost of raising crops and in some
Western states there is also lament
able failure of the corn crop Under
the circums tances it would be very
strange if the demand for manufac-
tured products should be quite as
large as in other years.
Wheat suffers from accumulation of
stocks in sight. which are far beyond
what is usually expected for the sea-
son and the exports in Septem Der
were unusually small. For the first
week of October Atlantic exports
were j. O97, 372 bushels, against sos
TAD last year; and Western receipts
were only 4615, 600 against 6, l3O, 6s7
last year and these figures give some
encourage ment, but little influence in
view of the unusual visible supply
The price for cash wheat is a small
fraction higher for the week.
Corn receipts at the West have only
been third as large as they were
last year, with exports amounting to
nothing. but the price has not further
declined after the heavy fall during
the previous fortnight Pork products
are weak in tone, though only lard is
quotably lower
The condition of the industries is
in some respects more satisfactory
Evidently there is a larger demand
for iron products than there was a
month ago, although the increase in
GU tput has been some what greater
than the increase in the demand, SO
that prices steadily tend downward
Failures for the past week have
PIG in the United States. against 400
last year, and SO in Canada, against
As last wear.

The reports of correspondents on
wheat feeding show that farmers to a
large extent have tested the value of
wheat when ground) as food for all
classes OF stock and are using it free
ly and deriving benefits from its use
that are surprising Many of the
correspondents who have made scie n
tific tests state that one bushel of
wheat when ground and properly fed
is equal to one and one-half bushels
Of corn, and as this is a year when it
will have to be used to a large extent,
it is apt to revolutionize the stock
feeding business
Another prominent feature of the
report is the large number of coun-
ties reporting disease among hogs
In the eleven states disease is re-
ported in Ill counties. There have
been thousands Of pigs from 20 to 40
pounds weight shipped from Nebraska
and South Dakota into Iowa, Illinois
and other states, and it is principally
among these hogs that the disease
started and spread to native hogs
