DUN'S' WEEKLY REVIEW.
Advance Of Wheat the Business Event Of
the hOur...Many Contracts Condi.
toned on Election Returns.

New York, Oct. OR. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review Of trade will say: The
event of the week has been the sem
sational advance Of wheat. The rise
was magnified by covering of specula-
tive sellers who imagined the advance
had gone too far, but was at the bot
tom based on an extraordinary for
eign demand. How great the shortage
in ordinary European supplies may be
is the point of doubt and speculation,
but none now question that shipments
from the Pacific coast to India and the
decrease in Russian yield are import
ant. and the buying of enormous guam
titles for export, with engagements OF
freight room at higher rates, express
the belief of European dealers.
The most striking features of indus
trial returns is the number of con-
tracts conditioned upon the election
These already are enough to make
business rather lively for a time, and
many others are pending which will
probably be held back until Nov. I.
Buying Of Bessemer pig at Pitts
burg causes q slight advance, and all
markets are strong for pig, but not fol
finished products. Very low prices are
made for speedy delivery by mills
wanting work. The tone Of the mar
ket it better and q decided increase, OF
orders appears in plates, about 3,OO(
tons for building vessels on the lakes
and instructural work at the west, ow
ing to contracts taken at Chicago fol
buildings at Boston. Toronto and Min
neapolis. A reduction in nails Is eX.
pected. A sale Of about five millior
pounds were made Of lake copper a,
10lH cents to domestic consumers. Tir
is shade higher at 1880. The move.
ment Of currency to the interior has
been only s3,5OO.00O for the week, ant
the market for commercial loans has
been dull. The volume Of business
shown by exchanges has been 81 pei
cent. less than last year, and 9.6 pei
cent. less than in 1892. Failures fol
the week have been 274 In the United
States against 231 last year, and G.
in Canada against 3S last year.

run them out at price and go
back to the market for more. That's
one way. That's why you al

About ten days ago Chairman Babcock

Canton. O., Oct. 23.-Before sunrise
this morning a party of visitors from
the Hoosier state came to Canton to
pay their respects to the Republican
candidate for president. They were the
first callers today. The delegation rep
resented Logansport, New Castle, Ko-

breakfast the party was escorted to
Major Mckinley's residence by the
Canton citizens committee. Major Nc
kinley, in addressing the delegation,
said:
Four years ago it was said to the people

all our present ills. If you started all
the. minls of this country working 20
their fullest capacity and extent you
would not increase the demand for labor,
corn or any American product, and you
would not increase wages.
The cry is that We have not enough
money. Now everybody knows that is
not true. We never had such prosperous
times as in 1892, and we haze just as much
money now as we had then. 1t is not a
lack of money that is at fault. 1t is the
difficulty of putting men TO work and
creating markets for our products. You
cannot make 52-cents a dollar and make a

every paper dollar based on gold will so
