THE WEEK IN TRADE.

tinues Throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8 -E3Gdstreets SAYS {:
Cooler weather and continued purchases
by interior merchants, notably West
and South, continued the Slight inn
9roveanent in trade ret Crded in preced-
ing weeks. Merchants 1T primary cot
ton markets and ut large ccMters in the
spring wheat region report a better
movement of staples, due to unusually
heavy receipts of those crops. Through
out the Central West, including such
points as Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis, the volume of trade falls behind
that of a year ago in some instances,
but Is equal to it in others. AT Eastern
centers the improvement is seen in
more disposition to
- Discount Commercial Paper,
although at unchanged rates. Whole
sale merchants report a better feeling
very generally, but few anticipate any
material increase in the volume of busi.
ness this month.
Mercantile collections continue slow
and as difficult to make as heretofore,
except in the cotton states and at some
points in the Northwest, where heavy
crop receipts have enabled interior
merchants to liquidate long standing
accounts.
The total number of business failures
throughout the United States from Jan.
I TO Sept 80, 1896. is II, 26O, the largest
aggregate reported for a like period
since records of this character have
been compiled. The next largest CORE
spending total was ll,14O, for nine
months of the panic year 1893.

The Plague Mt bombay.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The fact that the
dreaded dubonic disease has obtained a
strong footing in Bombay is established
beyond question, and the situation is
regarded as most serious. Other towns
have taken quarantine measures and
the City of Bombay has been placed out
OF bounds for troops. The outbreak is
attributed to mats which were known
to have been infected with bacilli from
Hong Kong.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 5. What has
lately given the strongest kind of sup.
port to the local wheat market and has
become a startling feature Of the situa.

failure this year, to what extent is not

damaged. Within the past 4s hours
two whole cargoes of California wheat
to 90 in steamers have been sold, the
destination of which is Calcutta. These
two cargoes amount to 0,0O0 tons. If
more steamers al be procured and the
price of wheat does not go too high
other cargoes may be bought for ship.
