CLEARING HOUSE RECEIPTS
For the Heck Has SO Per Cent. Larger
Than for Last Year.
DEMAND FOR IRON PRODUCTS
London Has Hoisted the Speculative
Price of Tin and Copper-Cotton
Mills Helped by the Fall
River Combination.

New York, November A G. Dun s.
Co.'S weely review of trade will say to-
morrow:
Not even the election has disturbed BUSH
ness industries on the financial side this
week Although many are doubtless wait
Ing for the votes before borrowing, the VOL
ume of business through clearing houses is
S.5 per cent larger than last year and LIS
per cent larger than in 1892. While political
doubts may count for much, they can only
have prevented a growth of business which
might have been much more than has
been realized.
Failure returns for October are curiously
puzzling because while the small failures
compare remarkably well with those of pre-
vious years. and also the failures of 100000
or more in about two-thirds If the BUSH
ness classes, there were large failures in
few branches not generally due to present
business conditions, which made the ag
gregate s14OO0, OOO but neither the Sawyer
wooden failures nor excepting, perhaps,
some in machinery, and boots and shoes
and leather, indicate difficulties beyond
The Iron Industry
those of the particular firms failing.
In iron, neither the volume nor the value
of manufactured products diminishes.
While Bessemer pig is sold against the
combination at Pittsburg 10 cents lower
with other iron there and elsewhere steady
general demand crowds closely on the heels
of production. London has hoisted the
speculative price of tin and copper, but
they closed at 1915 and 1917 cents here with
lead weaker at 1855 cents and tin plates
practically unchanged.
Wool holders at Boston have been selling
largely at concessions said to be several
cents per pound. The weeks sales at the
three chief markets were 10,797 400 pounds
against 1851, 1902 last year. The cheering
fact Is that the large manufacturers are
now buying with confidence, and that at
some reduction in the cost of material the
business will pay.
The cotton mills are helped a little by
the combination to restrict production
about Fall River Cotton is again at the
spot, while Mr.. Neil estimates crop of
II, 900 bales besides large stocks brought
over here and abroad.
Wheat exports continue very large,
amounting to 4699,576 bushels from Allan
tic ports, flour included, against 3.2S7 53e
last year.
Prices have not changed materially.
Corn goes abroad largely, 3,011 ,0s5 bushels
during the week. against 1888 vast year
and prices are well held.
Failures for the week have been 1874 in
the United States against 276 last year and
twenty-eight in Canada against thirty last
year.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW

New York, November 4-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Further quieting down of new business in
iron and steel, the relapse into dullness,
though at steady prices, of wheat consumed
upon the withdrawal of the excited foreign
demand and some slight increase of quiet
ing trade, chiefly in the south, as result
of the approach of the elections are all
features calling for special mention this
week. Among the more actively favorable
features are the surprising steadiness dis
played by the most staple articles and the
enlarged distribution of staple goods at
many western and southern markets, as the
result of improved weather and removals
of guarantees. Confirmatory quite
favorable reports as to the general trade
during October are the returns of bank
clearings for that month and scattered re-
ports as to the increased business doing at
many centers, in that month, as compared
with one year ago.
Exports statistics of grain, too are be-
ginning to show that an ample basis for
the stories of heavy foreign buying really
existed, exports this week being the heav-
lest on record.
New business in iron and steel have been
lighter than for weeks past and some shad-
ing OF quotations. particularly In steel, is
reported. Export trade continues large and
increasing, and mills are still we'll enough
supplied with orders to regard this ore
election quite with something approach
ing equanimity. Important negotiations
touching future prices of steel rails are now
In progress, quotations are entirely with
drawn, and some reports are that an i'm
portant consolidation, or at east control,
of prices and output has been practically
agreed upon.
Wheat Somewhat DulIer
Wheat has been duller, but steady on
uncertainty as to possible foreign political
complications, offsettine a heavy gain In
movement from producers. The surrent de-
equal and even exceed all previous records.
active demand for domestic woods, largely
at Boston, and at price concessions with
rather more reported doing in cheap makes
OF worsteds. Cotton has made another new
low record on heavy crop movements.
touching cents for November delivery at
New York, but improved demand for ex-
port with the working of the new print

for the manufactured product.

Not Backed Down.
