UNIFORMLY FAVORABLE.
Advlces From Leading Markets Show a Pros.
porous Condition Of Trade.

Satisfactory trade and price conditions
apparently still reign. So few, in fact,
are the reports of poor trade that IA
vorable reports may be said to be almost
unanimous. An expanded volume of
fall trade is indicated by the aggregate
of bank clearinGs for the week, though
reports from some markets point to the
greatest rush being over. Prices, as a
rule, maintain all their former strength,
decreases being few and relatively un-
important. In several lines, notably the
cereals, cotton, petroleum. iron and steel,
the tendency has been toward higher
levels. Cotton has been notably strong
and active. Short crop estimates are
becoming more generally current.
Steady demand for export and con-
fidence in all Of this years wheat crops
being needed have proved stimulating
In the face of heavy receipts, and adj
mittedly large present supplies. Pos
sibility Of war in the Transvaal, too, has
been an additionally strengthening
feature.
Business failures for the week number
147, as compared with 1872 in this week a
year ago, and 237 In 1897.
