THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Money Has Been Secured to Push she
 Project Through.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--It has been an- nounced by people closely connected with the Nicaragua canal that the Mic aragua Canal Construction company has secured enough money to go on with the work of building the canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans through Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
 A bill has been introduced in the state senate at Montpelier. Vt, to incorporate the Nicaragua Canal company for tho purpose of building canal through Nicaragua m Costa Rica.
 Mr. Weed, who is the president of the Nicaragua Construction company, lives in Plattsburg, N. Y., and the reason for the company going to Montpelier for it's charter seems thus to be accounted for.
 According to the plans, as far as can be learn' d, this new company will sue ceed the Nicaragua Canal Construction company, which has been in process of reorganization.
 At the office of the Nicaragua Canal Construction company it was decided that as yet nothing could be said about the affairs of the company.
 Smith Nj. Weed, who has his office in the Coal Exchange building, said that he would probably be able to make an announcement about the company next week
 At the office of the Nicaragua Canal company. which has the concessions from the government for the territory where the canal will go, 1t was said that the prospects were favorable to building the canal in q short time.

CONDITION OT TRADE.
R. c. Dun & Co.'s Review For
 the Past Week.
THE NEAR ELECTION HAS EFFECT,

In some Trades the Seasons Are Too
 In Others the Voting flinders Opera
 tion Dreads,uffs Advance, but No
 Change In Manufactured Products.
 NEW YORK, Nov. g.. R. G. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 The last week of October, with an ex- citing election near, cannot indicats much of the true condition of business. In some trades the seasons are too far advanced for great activity and in oth- CTS the voting flinders operations. But it is satisfactory that the volume of pro- duction is well maintained by one or two branches that no momentary diffi- culties disturb; tho breadstuffs are lit- tie higher and no material decline ap- pears during the week in manufactured products.
 At present the volume of business transacted is, on the whole, better than last year and much smaller than in 1899, though 8 presidential election was then close at hand.
 Corn has advanced about 4c. with exports about an eighth of last years. Pork and hogs are q shade lower with the trade about the same. Wheat is ac higher for spot and 1e. for December, and it looks as if strength in corn had prevented further decline, although western receipts were only 4,5S7, ,670 bushels for the week, against 6,503, I'll last year and Atlantic exports increased to 696, ,566 against TAO, 506 last year. The irresistible force is, of course, the enorm- ous accumulation, which continues, al- though producers may naturally be in- elined not to sell at current prices.
 Cotton is little lower, spot being 5.75c. with receipts so heavy that large crop estimates are favored, though if makes little difference in the real pros pect whether the yield is 100000 or 1 :. GOO. 900 bales greater than the worlds requirement., with the great stocks of cotton in sight. The depression of cot ton and wheat and the partial loss oi the corn crop must be reckoned impor- t,nt causes of hesitancy in the retail distribution of products.
 In the iron industry the chief activ. ity Is in structural work, bridge and other plates. while the demand for sheets is somewhat diminished, bar and wire showing no improvement, and nails are weaker The average quota ton for the various kinds of iron and steel is per cent lower than in July, 6.5 per cent higher than at the lowest point in April and 20 per cent lower than in July last year.
 Waiting for retail depressed the tex tile manufacturers and concessions in prices have been made to effect large contracts. Otherwise the market is gen. orally dull, without indications of im- proyement.
 In wools the fall and winter demand is disappointing, though still fairly large for the season, but expected supple mental orders do not appear and then the uncertainty prevails as to spring goods.
 During the past week the failures have been 249 in the United States against 85s last year and 30 in Canada against 23 last year.
