ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street


NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Wall street was
prepared for an outburst of enthusiasm
over stocks on the part of the general pub
lie after yesterdays ebullient enthusiasm
on the part of the street itself. The gran
gers, the Northern Pacifics and the lead
ing southern railroads opened higher The
public's enthusiasm had apparently in
duced 1t to place large orders to buy stocks
at the opening. The foresight of the large
operators in making the opening level OF
the market high one was thus justified,
quite freely. Prices, however, were fairly
well maintained in the first hour, but In
spite of the violent activity of the market,
it soon became evident that the supply OF
stocks was fully equal to the demand.
Room traders detected evidences of real
izing by large interests and commenced to
sell the market. with quite a marked ef-
of checking activity, and the market fell
into dullness until it received renewed i'm
petus from the strength of special stocks.

Government Revenue

Revised statistics of government revenue
and expenditure for the last fiscal year are
given in the annual report of the treasurer
OF the United States submitted to the sec
retary of the treasury this week. 1t appears
from the figures given that the net ordinary
revenues amounted to $405, 1921 1856, an in
crease of $57, ,597,6 $50 over those of the pre-
ceding year, while the net ordinary ex-
penditures amounted to S443,36S, ,5S2, an in.
crease Of S77, ,594 ,423. The deficit for the year
amounted to $38, ,047 PAT, which was over $lS,-
100000 in excess of that for the year preced-
ing 1t will be recollected that the receipts
were swelled by considerable sum paid into
the treasury on account of the sale of the
Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific railroads,
while, on the other hand, the expenditures
were increased by the payment of $20,S5O,-
952 on account of the bonds issued for the
construction of the Pacific railroads.

Dun & Co.'s Review

NEW YORK, Nov. u.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly trade review will say tomorrow:
The country has safely. passed through
the trial of off-year elections. Before the
elections everything except political uncer-
tainties 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 November thus far
shows clearings 1914 per cent larger than
ss Ss and SO psr Gent agp than
been so per cent larger than last year and
so per cent larger than in 1892. Foreign
trade shows an increase of 20 per cent In
ports from New York last week, while
imports showed a gain of only % per cent
In October, and credits against foreign
rate. There was absolutely no anxiety
about the currency, and the treasury is
only too strong. When the enormous ex-
ports of products are considered, it seems
quite impossible for the country to meet
with any serious monetary trouble, espe-
cially in view of the past surplus In favor
of this country.
Wheat declined nearly cent, but recov-
cred all the loss, with Atlantic exports,
-four included, of 3, 1896. 500 bushels, against
3,2H, ,4S9 last year, ana Pacific exports 1,016-

record, with heavy receipts and without
large milling demand.
Iron production November / was 228 925
tons weekly, against 215,655 October l, and
a decrease is seen of 35241 tons in stocks
unsold outside of the holdings of the steel
companies, indicating an actual corsump-
tion of LOIS, GAG tons in October and 2S3t tons
greater daily than the largest ever shown
in any previous month on record.
Wool sales for the past week were only
4, ,735, 600 pounds at the three chief eastern
markets and were secured by concessions
at all markets last week, making Is, 234, ,90t
pounds. against 1862 902 for the same two
weeks last year and II, 2S9 800 pounds for the
same week in 1892 Holders are refusing to
abate their prices, because of their uncer-
tainty in regard to the demand for woolen
goods, which has somewhat improved, and
yet not greatly. It is growing in the minds
of holders of wool at the east that the sup
ply of foreign domestic wool on hand is
much greater than has been heretofore
supposed.
Cotton goods are on the whole in better
demand although denims are slightU low
er, and little can be said of an encourag-
ing character as to the demand for staple
goods of domestic use.
Failures for. the week were 211 in the
United States, against 291 last year. and 26
in Canada, against "a last year.

market was a dull. professional affair. The
close on Monday evening, on the eve of
the election, was firm. On Wednesday
prices opened up under buying by London,
supplemented by short coverings, and caus-
Ing an advance In the morning hours. At
the same time the bond list was relatively
stronger and more active than stocks. In
the afternoon a break In Sugar and the
conflicting rumors about the composition
of the next house of representatives caused
a reaction. On Thursday, however, these
surance afforded that there will be a sound
money majority in both the house and
senate. London prices came considerably
higher and the foreigners bought, stocks
throughout the day, taking in all about
10000 shares.
Under these circumstances the market
advanced steadily and the transactions for
the day rose to about $10,000,000 of bonds,
the largest bond dealing In the history OF
the New York stock exchange, while the
sales of stocks footed up more than 700, ,0Ot
shares. Fridays market was more or less
dominated by the same influence, the for
eign buying being again a factor, while
commission house buying was again prom
inent and the bonds market unusually ac-
tive. About midday the traders showed q
disposition to take profits but the de-
clines were small and the buying demand
for stocks continued remarkably large, al
though the close was irregular a conces-
advance. Atchison preferred rose from
35s to 40% on heavy transactions. 1t is
stated that the dividends will begin early
next year on the stock, and that ex-Gover-
nor Flower will enter the Atchison board
Union Pacific preferred rose from Ga to 6s

very large and that the stock Will be placed
preferred advanced from 75b, to .77ss and

stood that one per cent dividend on the
latter will be declared in December

company also had sharp advance to 102A4
The grangers were all strong while among
the other notable bull features were Fed
