$42, ,00O. .000 and the September excess will
evidently be larger, unless shipments of
gold are received. Merchandise exports
from New York in three weeks of Septem-
ber have been 10 per cent over last years,
and imports 1877 per cent less, and IKE
changes on the whole trade for the month,
and would result in net exports of $5S, 000,
600 merchandise besides silver.
Produce markets have been uncertain,
closing a fraction higher for both wheat
and corn, while the decline in cotton con-
tinues. Wheat has gained a fraction for
the week, while Atlantic exports, flour in
cluded. for three weeks have been ~ 4SS, 1S1
bushels, against 6,1s3,743 last year. West
ern receipts are exceeding last years. and
foreign estimates now agree IN making the
probable requirement from this country
over 100000 900 bushels greater than last
year.
The official ending of the western coal
strike add many thousand men to the
working force in the mines, and others in
manufactures using bituminous coal. The
anthracite strike has substantially ended
and no extensive labor disturbance is
threatened. The output of coke is now
125,OOO tons, and the price is also advanced

burg to $105O and grey forge to $3.50, with
lactual sales of 10000 ton Southern pig in
the Mahoning valley for s6.75 at Birmng-
ham.
Bllets were quoted at $685. and s22 has
eben refused for wire rods. The struc-
tural work is behind orders. tin plate mills
are hindered by failure to get sheet bars
delivered fast enough, plate and sheet mills
find heavy demand for cars at the west
with vastly improved demand, and shade
better prices at the east. The average
advance of iron and steel products from
the lowest point is S.2 per cent.
Wool sales at Boston have decreased a
quarter, but manufacturers are still un-
able to find profits in goods with wool at
the present prices. Reported sales of
wool are more than double those of the
most prosperous years, but the rise In
prices renders the future more doubtful ex-
|cept for manufacturers having heavy sup
plies laid in.

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Sept. A.-In wheat prices
around the opening were controlled en-
tirely by the action of the Liverpool mar
ket That market started at Nd decline,
but before the opening here had not only
recovered this but added I'd to yester-
days closing price. The reason given for
Liverpoors strength was a report Of dam
age to the Argentine crop by frost. That
was considered unlikely and another pri-
vate message from Liverpool said the re-
port was without foundation. The market,
however. here took sufficient notice of the
report to raise wheat from 92% to 92N, the
closing price yesterday having been 92A@
923s. The advance encouraged sellers and
quick reaction followed to 91%. 1t was
stated on the floor that special session of
the British cabinet was being talked of to
consider means of relief for the sufferers
on account of the Irish potato crop fail
ure. The bringing of this feature of the
worlds food situation before traders un-
doubtedly was influential in the advance
to 90 cents, which followed the decline to
91N. One decidedly weakening factor was
the continued heavy local and northwest
receipts. Chicago received 229 cars, 2S of
them of contract quality. The quantity in
spected out of store was only q, 900 bushels.
Minneapolis and Duluth received 1901 cars,
against 1913 week ago and 722 the corre-

bull clique was left alone in a great meas
ure to do all the fighting against the bear
ishly inclined section of the local opera
tors. Most of the heavy traders expressed
themselves as unwilling to buy during the
continuance of such heavy northwest re-
ceipts. New York reported that foreign
ers were made the sellers of futures early
in the session. A private cablegram from
Berlin read: Wheat declining. Danubian
states and Russia offering freely"
The Atlantic port clearances of wheat
and flour were 100000 bushels. Primary
market receipts amounted to 1.217, ,522 BUSH
els. compared with S62.S47 bushels the cor
responding day o. last year. The closing
prices abroad showed the following
changes, compared with yesterdays final
quotations: Liverpool No. American red
and No. northern spring. Id lower; fu-
lures, from I'd to %d higher; Paris, S GEN.
times lower for September and centimes
lower for later futures. After the advance
to 90 the market reacted to 921a. A slow
advance to 92H followed. but the weak
ness of closing cables caused another re-
action, the price of December declining to
921s@929s by closing time.
Trade in corn was dull and the small
amount of business made rather heavy

European Markets

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The stock markets were irregular and
rather dull today. The rise in prices in
New York induced sales here and the
market for Americans closed practically
without recovery. The fear at the moment
is that the New York account is becom-
ing top-heavy, and inasmuch as the feel
ing here is still timid, professional opera
tors are dreading lest New York may
leave them in the lurch. Grand Trunks
were weak. Mines were better on Paris
buying.
The money market is surprisingly easy,
considering the hardening factors, such
as the issue of treasury bills next week
and the payment into the Bank of Eng
land next week of the second installment
of money on the Japanese loan. There
are also statements today of a large Ca
madam loan soon, as also one million
pounds in West Australian treasury bills.
The Paris bourse was firm. Gold exports
have had no effect there.
There are special reserves of gold in
Paris, on which money has been borrowed
from the Bank of France.
The Berlin market was steady. Dutch
exchange has fallen sharply.

amounts to Sc. 900 in four days. and the
advance of its rates by the Bank of Eng

check the movement in view of heavy
