Notwithstanding Difficulties Attending
Winding Up Of the War.
The Rush Of Orders Has Strength
ened Prices and Caused a Larger
Demand - Payments Through
Clearing Houses Largely In
creased, Showing That the Busi-
ness of the Country is Expand
ing.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-R. G. Dunn
& Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will
say tomorrow:
Business is passing well through the
difficulties that attend the winding up
of war, which are generally greater
than those involved while war is in
progress The rush of orders kept back
while war lasted by those who thought
1T shrewd not to take any chances, has
strengthened prices little, and caused
a larger demand for the time than can
continue but though it has passed
there is evidence that the consuming
demand is very large. How large can
only be judged after some weeks Of
waiting. But once more it looks as if
those who wait longest are likely to
pay most.
The business Of the country is ex-
panding, SO that payments through
clearing houses in the second week in
September were 22.5 per cent. larger
than in 1892, and for two weeks II per
cent. larger. From these and railway
returns, and such trade reports as are
instructive, it must be concluded that
more business is being done than
in the best of past years, though not al
ways with much profit.
Wheat has gone forward much more
freely, and the price has advanced 2
cents. 1t is supposed that the ad-
vance is largely due to milling de-
mand coming upon a narrow supply.
Exports are large, 3,007 ,974 bushels
(ftour included) from Atlantic and POI. =

two weeks 5,697, ,32O bushels from both
coasts, against 1896, ,S53 bushels last
year. Receipts of wheat for two weeks
of September have been 14,663.99
bushels. against 1867, JOG bushels last
year: The foreign demand will be
smaller, and the American crops larger
than last year
With the starting of nineteen fur
naces, idle month ago, partly not in
cluded as yet, the weekly output Sep
tember 1st was 213,043 tons, against
FOG, III tons August 1st, and the de-
crease in stocks, 1888 tons in two
months, indicates a consumption but
little below million tons per month.
Structural work is the heaviest ever
known at Pittsburg, though smaller
than last year at New York. Bar mills
are crowded with the general railway
demand for automatic couplers, and or
ders for street cars to Japan and plate
mills are crowded west of Philadelphia,
while the foundry consumption is heavy
and the rail mills not yet ready to ac-
cept orders which they cannot deliver
for months, being engaged far ahead.
Tin is quiet at 1905 cents, and lead at
cents, with copper strong at 1912 cents
and spelter at $3.50 in spite of SEN
sational rise at London. Heavy sales
ahead have blocked the project for a
tin plate trust at present.
Important cotton mills have stopped,
and print cloths hold 2.06 cents, with
other cotton goods included, but cheap
material hinders operations for those
who have settings made from higher
WOOL
Woolen mills represent rather better
orders, although much machinery is
idle, those who have not old wool bid
ding much below the current prices,
which are SO far maintained that sales
I for two weeks have been only 6,635, 300
pounds, against 36,629, 400 pounds last
year. and 17,015, 100 pounds in the same
week of 1892. 1t is worthy of notice
that $4,000 pounds Of Australian wool
was sold at Boston for shipment to
Europe, while the mills cannot buy at
present prices, except for mixture with
other wools. Many insist, just as they
did eight months ago, that the old
stocks must be about exhausted.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Bradstreet's s
tomorrow will say:
Reports of still further large distri-
button at most Western markets and
slight improvement at Eastern centers,
where demand has been slower to ma
terialize; enlarged foreign demands for
breadstuffs, increased railway earn
ings, not entirely due to the swelling
movement of grain to market which,
indeed, is still behind last years rec
ords; bank clearings increased over last
weeks records and over all correspond
ing weeks, except one year ago, when
speculation was rather active are
rather better than expected Govern
ment crop reports and enlarging ex-
ports of American manufacturers are
all features tending to make the trade
situation at present q notable one. Crop

Among the many forms of this disease are
headache, nervousness, paralysis, apoplexy

such diseases by these pills.
No discovery of medern times has proved

nor unexpected, proves to have been
less than feared, and average conditions
of leading crops, notably wheat, corn,
cotton and potatoes, are better than
one year ago. Operative in inducing
the improved foreign demand for our
wheat and our perhaps has been a
tendency to shade early estimates Of
the worlds wheat crop this year, some
figures being as low as $500, 600 900
which, while larger than last year, is
still below that of 1894 This, with the
low state of the worlds wheat sup
plies, and with slower than expected
movement from American farmers
hands to leading markets, has increased
the premium of cash wheat with the re-
suit of advancing prices The contin-
ued rise in ocean freight rates is taken
to confirm reports of recent large ex-
ports sales.
The qu1eter appearance of the iron
trade is confined strictly to new busi-
ness, because mills are still fully pro-
vided with orders, and, in spite of a
slight Increase in production, stocks of
pig iron are smaller, pointing to a
heavy consumptive demand. The ex-
port demand for Southern iron noted
one week ago still continues.
The wholesale demand for lumber
continues, in spite of some complaints
from retailers.
Export trade, as a whole, continues
very satisfactory the August total
swelled by larger shipments of cotton,
provisions and manufactured goods,
generally larger than August one year
ago by Al per cent, Notwithstanding a
heavy increase in shipments Of bread
stuffs. Import trade as yet shows no
particular expansion, and Off the eight
months our exports are 80 per cent. in
excess Of imports
Unfavorable trade features are few,
and presented chiefly in the textile man
ufacturing trades, but here it is pro-
posed that the undeniably large distri-
button Of dry products this fall will
soon be reduced in improved demand.
Wheat shipments for the week re-
fleet an enlarged foreign demand for
American wheat and flour, aggregating
3,615291 bushels, as against 3, 1OO,2OS
bushels last week, 6,2S9,9 ,94S bushels in
the corresponding week one year ago,
3,566326 bushels in 1896, 2,53O, 800

of wheat aggregate 36, 169,091 bushels,

NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
Secretary of the Navy Long Reor-
ganizes the Fleet.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Secretary
Long this afternoon issued an order re-
organizing the North Atlantic squad
ron. The fleet is reduced from a force
of about 100 vessels to thirty-two, the
remainder being detached ready for dis
position in the future The four YES
sells Of the Morgan Line, the Prairie,
Yosemite, Yankee and Dixie, with the
auxiliary cruisers Badger and Panther,
are ordered to be laid up in reserve at
League Island.
The fleet as reorganized will consist
of the Indiana, Massachusetts, Texas,
New York, Brooklyn, Amphitrite, Puri-
tan, Miantonomah, Terror, Cincinnati,
Montgomery, Newark, San Francisco,
Detroit, Marblehead, Mayf1ower, New
Orleans, Bancroft, Marietta, Topeka,
Castine, Nashville, Wilmington, Ma
chias, Princeton, Fern, Hist ResO-
lutte, Potomac, Scorpion, Alvaredo.
Another order received from the Sec
retary put the following vessels, now
at the Norfolk navy yard, out Of COM
mission: Siren, Stranger, Tecumseh,
Viking, Wasp, Frolic and Apache. Their
crews will be transferred to other ships,
where they are now short service men.
There will be no change in the flag
officers of the North Atlantic squad
ron in consequence of the reorganiza-
ton. Rear Admiral Sampson, though
in Havana on detached duty, will still
remain in command Of the second Sec
ton of the fleet.
This reorganization of the fleet is
probably the beginning of the execu-
ton of a program for the reorganiza-
ton Of all the forces on the various
stations, which will include the re-
vival of the European station, the re-
habilitation Of the South Atlantic
station and perhaps the creation Of a
Southern Pacific station.
