FINANCE AND TRADE.
DIstlnctly Better Conditions Produced by
Foreign Demand for Wheat.

w meat
NEW YORK, Oct 1O-R, G. Dun Il Co g
weekly review of trade says: Distinctly
better conditions have appeared Of late,
and are reflected In somewhat larger en-
ployment of labor, in larger transactions,
and in continued buying Of materials for
manufacture. A great part Of the change
is due to the demand abroad for our wheat
and tho unusually heavy foreign demand
for corn, which is u rarely failing sign of
deficient crops abroad where other grains
are used instead when wheat becomes
scarce and dear.
Bradstreets' review sGvs: Colder
weather, continued heavy receipts of cot
ton and wheat and other influences have
stimulated demand for the staple goods at
vDrious points, but the volume Of trade
remains moderate without material
change from week ago. The tendency
at some centers is to smaller volume of
trade, but the general outlook is for an
improved demand after election. Interior
merchants adhere to tho hand-to- mouth
policy of buying, and wholesale merchants
are inclined to examine into credits closely.
With the prospect favoring an excep-
tionally large demand for wheat for ex-
port within tho next six months, q larger
supply than heretofore reported, is likely
to prove fortunate. The total exports of
wheat this week amount to 4,O5O,772
bushels, against 4,sl5,0O0 bushels last
week, 2,244,0 900 bushels In the first week OF
October, 1895, 3,3l7 900 bushels in 1894,
e.SS2,00O bushels in 1893 and 1926, 900
bushels In the corresponding week of 1899.
There arc 29l business failures in the
United States reported this week. de-
cline of thirty-four rs compared with last
week, but an Increase OF seventeen as COM
pared with the first week in October, 1895,
and an increase of fifty-three as compared
with the corresponding week in 1894.
When contrlsted with the corresponding
total in 1888 this weeks falling off is 1l5.

RAMIL.
IT'S ADVANTAGES OVER FLAX.

In speaking of the factories in Europe.
Mr.. Parmenter enumerated them ~
follows: England, five; France, two;
Austria, one; Switzerland, one Ger
many. two. In England, he said, some
of the mills are working fine quality OF
damask table linen, which is being
largely sold throughout the kingdom.
He showed piece of ssilclOth, part OF
the bolt that had been used OH the De
fender in the international sailing match
last wear. It was accompanied by let
ter from Wilson Silsby, who made the
Defenders sails, in whrch he stated that
the ramie cloth was so per cent. lighter
than any other he had ever used: In
referring again to the manifold advan-
tages of ramie over flax, Mr.. ParmenteI
SAID that ramie would not shrink and
does not stretch like linen. He Mlduced
the fact that there is no flax industry i'll
this country, and furthermore, that the
impOrtatiOnS of linen goods are over
$40, ,0OO, 600 annually.
Now" he continued, "there IL no
reason why ramie should not largely
take the place of foreign linens as well
as other articles l have enumerated.
England, as have said, has, for the last
10 months, been making beautiful
quality of damask goods which the
wealthy classes are buying largely. Up
to the last six months III this country,
everything pertaining to ramie has been
in the experimental stage on account OF
not being able to get proper machinery
The Spinners of Patterson, n. j., rs well
as splnners all over the east, are i'm
patiently waiting to get ramie yarn III
sufficient quantities 50 rs to make it
profitable to spin. But no manufactur-
er now will go into ramie spinning unless
he is assured of Il steady supply. 1t will
be forthcoming. Crops in the south can
be cut from three to six times ayear,
and so you can see that the farmer has Il
constant source of income in this one
produce.
Mr.. Permenter explained at length the
process of "degumming. 1t simply
means in brief, the elimination of the
sticky substance hy combination of
chemical elements. The beauty of the
process is in its extreme simplicity.
Where in England seven separate baths
are necessary to bleach the fibre in re;.di-
ness for the loom, by Allison's process
there is simply one bath when it reaches
that Stage. The advantages Of produc-
ton and manufacture in this country art
that the crude fibre is admitted free OF
duty. while OH all manufactured products
brought in there is 50 per cent. duty.

crop report for November has been
completed. 1t shows up a little better

and much worse for tobacco than the
report for September.
1t should be stated, however, that
most of the returns had been received
before the recent storm which did
much damage to cotton still in the
field and tobacco which had not been
cut Fortunately, owing to the early
season, very little cotton and less to-
bacco was at that time unhoused.
Since cotton picking has been in
progress, the condition OF the crop has
been found to be slightly better than it
was month ago. 1t is 65 this month

as compared with 1919 a month ago.
Tobacco is 70 against 1914 for Septem-
