NEW YORK, Nov n.-R. G. Dun Co. Weekly Trade Review will say tomorrow:
 The country has safely passed the trial of off-year elections. Before this election every thing except political uncertainties favored business enlargement. The volume of trade has been the greatest ever known In October and the greatest ever known in any month, except December, 1892. The record of Novem- Der thus far shows cearings 10.4 per cent larger than last year and s.9 per cent larger than in 1892. The railroad earnings in October have been 5.2 per cent larger than last year and 80 per cent larger than in 1892. Foreign trade shows an increase of 20 per cent in Oc- tober in exports with 3S per cent in exports from. New York last week. while imports showed a gain of only 22 per cent in October up at an inconvenient rate. There was abso- lutely no anxiety about the currency, and the nous exports of products considered 1t seems quite impossible for the country to meet with serious monetary trouble. especially In view of the past surplus In favor of this coun-
 Wheat declined nearly a cent, but recovered all the loss with Atlantic exports, four in- cIuded Of g. Boo 509 bushels against BETA 4S9 last year and Pacific exports 1.0l6961, against l. bushels for the week, against 7,255.514 last year continue to render the holding back of stock manifestly a failure Cotton remains at the lowest prices record with heavy receipts and without large milling demand.
 Iron production November was 22S. 935 tors weekly, against 215. .635 tons October 1. and a decrease is seen of 35. .21 tons in stocks unsold outside the holdings or the great steel com panies indicating actual consumption or i 019 646 tons in October and 2S3 tons greater daily than the largest ever shown in any pre- yious month on record
 Wool sales for the past week were only f. 735 900 pounds at the three chief Eastern markets and were secured by concessions at all markets last week, making 1S.2S4. 300 pounds against 16 652 902 for the two weeks last year and I2 2S9, 600 for the same week in 1892. Hold CTS are refusing to abate their prices, though large manufacturers bid below current market prices. because of their uncertainty in regard to the demand for woolen goods. which has some what improved and yet not greatly It is growing in the minds of holders of wool at the East that the supply of foreign and do- mestic wool on hand is much greater than has heretofore been supposed. Cotton goods are on the whole in better demand. although denims are slightly lower and little can be said of an encouraging character to the demand for staple goods of domestic use.
 Failures for the week were 211 in the United States against 291 last year, and 2e in Canada, against 24 last year.

 CONDITION OF NEW YORK MONEY MAR
 KET.
 NEW YORK, Nov 12-The Financier says: The decrease of $4. 900 in surplus reserves, following the shrinkage of s7. 100000 for the previous week, will attract renewed attention to the condition of the New York money market. The clearing house banks now hold s15, 0Oo.0 coo in excess of legal requirements. At the rate reserves have been falling 1t will be seen that the margin for available expan- sion Is being narrowed to small proportions. But even with this fact known. 1t is doubtful whether the response will be rise In rates approximately rapid. In the first place, great deal of the money represented in loans has been invested In sterling bills which are profitable only long the market this side of the water is dull. The continuance of these investments is dependent upon the ditions which since election seem to have been removed Last year. during the month of No vember, the reserves of the New York banks increased from $15,O0 900 to s31. 500, coo. One complication, then absent, but prominent, Is the treasury deposits in banks which has reached its maximum and will sooner later become a source of drain on bank resources. Everything considered, the outlook favors tenn porarily firmer quotations, but the supply Is so great that 1t is difficult to how a per manently higher level can be maintained
