toward higher prices. Those changes are 70
corded In detail further on In this coiumn.a and,
taken a. q whole. they can hardly be regarded,
in view Of the well-known circumstances Affect
ing prices. as indicating q wild or I'M
safe speculation. For a number OF stocks
material advances have been recorded.
at the same time extraordinarily large earnings
have been reported for periods anterior to the
crop movement. and these foreshadow trafnc re-
turns that viii unauestionably upset the calcu-
lations OF many professional dealers in securi-
ties.
One Of the most interesting developments
this week has been the further advance in
the price of iron. resulting. OF course, from
n larger demand. This movement has been
accompanied by an evident determination on
the part OF the principal producers and
manufacturers Of iron to prevent suicidal COM
petition and obtain fair prices for their product.
Other noteworthy DEVELOPMENTS are progress
toward a settlement Of the strike OF
the bituminous coal miners, an increase
in bank clearances, even in comparison
with those OF 1892, an advance in the prices Of
commodities. and q falling OF In the number
OF business failures. Exports Of breadstufs
continue upon n large scale, while Inn
ports of merchandise are smaller and are
constantly diminishing. Europe, however,
continues to sell securities In this market. or, to
state the case moro accurately. American in
vestors and spectators. confident of their po-
pition and Of q rising market, are steadily abb
sorbinR European holdings of American securt-
ties.
The dealings on the Stock Exchange for the
week ending tonight were unusual. Tho trans
actions in stocks were in excess of $780, 900
shares a day. and the number Of issues dealt in.
1s4, was the largest in any week in the
history OF the Exchange. The transactions in
bonds averaged over 3k millions par value per
day and. as in the case OF the stock market.
higher figures. While extensive realizing Of
profits has at times suggested q reaction
In prices, no serious setback has occurred. and
present indications are that the extraordinary
crop movement. resulting from the European
demands for breadstuffs, will place the trans
portation industry OF the United States upon a
more substantial basis than for many years past.
As compared with the dnal prices OF last Sat
urday the majority OF stocks are higher. Tho
more important net advances are in Omaha 81.
