bought by the box and carried around

THE TRADE SITUATION.
Strength OF Prices Still the Leading Fea-
ture-Cereals Appear to Have Reached
u Dead Leyel-The Failures.

New York, Nov. 11.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Strength of prices q natural outcome of past
and present demand is still the leading feature
of the trade situation, Notwithstanding thai
unseasonably warm weather In some sections
OF the country tend to restrict retail trade ana
necessarily exercises some effect upon recorders
from and collections by iobbers Less than Or
binary interrupt N is indicated by election day
observances. The strength OF lextiles, both
raw and Manufactured has Dael further ac-
centuated during the week. increases being
noted in raw cotton, wool and hemp Raw cot
ton advanced easily this week on an appear
ance OF better buying BY foreign consumers, IN
duced by reports OF frost damage, statistics OF
small movement and active domestic demand
for the manufactured produ IT, Wool hns been
equally strong, though transactions are smaller
and material gain in prices is TO be noted,
while from the manufactured goods branch 1t
was reported OF confident strength and OF prob
able future advances In mems wear goods and
carpets.
| Cereals appear to have reached dead level,
with prices showing little or no change. The
dullness Of wheat at domestic markets finds ex-
pNnation in Bradstreet's statistics Of worlds
stocks, which indicate gain for the month OF
over l7,000OOJ bushels, contributed from Amer
lean sources, however, as foreign supplies
showed slight shrinkage. Corn is strong,
notwithstanding rather more liberal current
estimates Of yield and largely owing TO the
readiness OF foreign buying at concessions.
Signs accumulate that shoe manufacturers and
lobbers are meeting with success in securing
recently advanced prices, Hides and leather
are sympathetically strong and shoe manufac-
turers are actively employed, Anxiety in lum-
Der is feature at many markets and strength
OF prices Is no less marked.
In iron and steel there Is rather more irregu-
larity noted. Active demand on railroad ac-
count has induced an advance in iron and steel
bars Of s. per ton, but steel blllets are lower.
