Pig iron has risen further. $25 being quoted
for anthracite No. l. the highest price since
January, 1888. But hides are at the
highest point since January, 1873,
having risen all the year with
very little reaction Prices Of pro
ducts have not correspondingly advanced.
Such wide discrepancies cause much en-
barrassment, but are the natural character
istic of rise which is mainly due. not
TO concerted action in any trade, but TO
the pressure OF a consuming demand, the
greatest ever known, which for the time
exceeds supplies, though very unequaily
The proper safeguard against undue ad
vance is the monetary pressure which ap-
pears whenever speculation in any branch
threatens to run too far. 1t does not appear
that legitimate trade or productive indus
try has at any point been seriously en-
barrassed by lack of money, and the free
return of currency from the West may be
expected from about this date.
The iron industry, which has led all
others in the advance, now leads the way
toward TeRdjustment Of values While
contracts for pig iron cover the entire
product Of the most important districts
for six to nine months in advance, many
of the consuming works in some lines ap
prOach the end of their orders, and have
new competition to meet, so that sheets
have fallen 81 per ton at Pittsburg, and SO
from the highest point in September, and
plates are So lower there and So at Phila-
delpha
The rise in cotton as yet helps manu-
facturers whose contracts cover production
we'll ahead, but the buying has been mainly
by traders, based largely on expectation OF
very low estimate of yield by the Agricul-
tural Department While last years Off
cial estimate was not highly accurate the
whole trade here and abroad then counted
on a large crop, and was right.
Wheat has not been very active or
strong. although Western receipts have
much declined, being 1881. .90T bushels for
the week, against 9924,O45 last year Ex-
ports are also smaller. The decrease in
foreign demand may be ascribed in part
to heavy previous exports, but perhaps still
more to the great movement of corn, 3. .45S.-
104 bushels for the week against 2,062, ,331
last year Corn advanced about as much
as wheat fell, though with prospect of a
heavy yield.
The volume of business does not shrink.
larger than last year, and 52.5 per cent
larger than in 1892, and railroad earnings
tell much the same story. Money IS com

Raw cotton advanced easily this week

active domestic demand for the manufac-

some irregularity and even excitement to
