The Decision of the Coal Trust In

InduStrfaIs.

The past week has been a fairly salts
factory one in the money market OF the
country. The supply OF funds continues
ohtainable at u~ndisturbed rates. Contrary
to expectations the foreclosure sale of
the Union Pacific railroad had no intiG-
encc upon the loan market, such an ar
raEGement being made by the government
that much of the purchase money is TO re-
H,ain with the banks on special deposits.

the first time for months the New York
banks gained money from the country
10000 In speaking of the currency move
transfers of currency to the interior began
this year on June %. one month earlier than
in 1885 and two months earlier than in
1886: but the volume of shipments is below
both years. TIL figures of transfers to
November 1 show a total of s., 59., 600 for the
New York banks, against 81 800 in lss6
years transfers were to the South. or
slightly less than in previous years. The
smaller total business has been caused by
the quick movement of the crops"
In Boston the money market continues
quiet and the same may be said of Phila-

are rather light for this time of year and

Dry Goods.

New York. Nov. 1O.-Evidences of contin-
ued weaknesses in the dry goods market
prevail. Concessions are being made con-
stantly In nearly all lines of cotton textile
1abrics. These reductions show a decrease
on the part of both first and second hand
dealers to effect a movement in stocks at
as early q date as possible. The unseason-
able weather conditions are the primary
cause of depression in the market, and
these have continued to such an extent
that 1t Is doubtful whether a complete re-
