LOSS TO COTTON MEN.

Mr.. S. l.. Patterson, Commissioner of
Agriculture for this State, has received
an invitation to attend the convention of
Commissioners of Agriculture of the
Southern States, which will be held in
New Orleans on September Goth. Gov
ernor Gambler, of Georgia, has accepted
the invitation to respond to the address
of welcome, which will be delivered by
the Governor of Louisiana. The Com
missioner of Agriculture of the State of
Louisiana will be the temporary chair
man. Uniform classification and the
adjustment of reclamations by foreign
countries which is a source of heavy loss
to cotton men, are the prime objects of
the gathering. The attempt will probably
be made by the Southern States to have
classiiers appointed by their executives
and have their rulings stand as official
to the foreign dealer.

THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS.
Industry and Trade Severely Taxing
Transportation Facilities.

NEW YORK, Oct, 20-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: More nearly, perhaps
| than ever before does the volume of gen
eral trade and industry tax existing trans
portation facilities handling the same
From nearly all parts OF the country. but
particularly from the West and South
come reports of car scarcity. Some Of this
congestion seems to be the result Of a di-
version of traffic ordinarily carried on by
water routes to already crowded railroads.
An example of this might be instanced in
the eastbound tonnage movement from
Chicago last week, which exceeded by two
and half times that carried in the cor
responding week a year ago. The inability
OF present transportation facilities to cope
with the existing situation is, however, not
confined to domestic trade lines. From
both coasts of this country come reports
of insufficient tonnage offering to handle
goods seeking a foreign outlet, and freignt
rates are considerably higher than they
were year or more ago. This latter fea-
ture, in fact, is one which may have i'm
pOTtant effects upon our foreign trade dur
ing the balance of the year.
With few notable exceptions, prices con-
tinue strong. number of lines have ad-
vanced quotations, while the great body of
staple articles manifest all their old firm
ness Some weakness in wheat prices is di-
rectIy traceable to higher freight rates, be-
cause Of the partial closing of the door to
relief from growing domestic stocks. Corn
is not as depressed as wheat mainly be-
cause of lighter receipts; but it is to be
noted that current receipts Of wheat are
also smaller than they were year ago.
The weakness in prices of copper and OF
copper mines stocks is attributed 10 pro-
duction gradually overtaking demand. The
renewal of strength is noted in cotton,
though foreign buying is reported still in
different domestic speculative confidence
and good conditions 10 the manufactured
branch furnishing an impetus this week
Last among the leading staples to feel the
wave Of prosperity, coffee has of late dis
played marked strength and an increased
speculative interest is noticeable. Sole
leather has been more actively dealt in, and
is higher on the week. In iron and steel
maintained strength is still q feature at all
markets. Raw wool is frmer, and even
higher on better demand at the East, some
heavy speculative transactions being re-
ported. The strength Of lumber is appar-
emily undiminished. Business failures in
the United States number 221, as compared
with 164 last week, 213 in this week year
ago, 205 in 1897, 292 in 1896, and 259 il

GREAT BUSINESS EXPANSION.
The Prices OF Material Advancing
and Factories Crowded.

and Factories Crowded.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Dun's tomorrow
will say; In most lines business continues
to expand, though in some quarters there
are signs that buying has been checked
either because prices have outrun the views
OF buyers, or because recent purchases
have been so heavy that nobody is left in
need. Prices are still advancing, in almost
every line, supported by rising prices Of
materials, and works everywhere are still
crowded 10 their utmost capacity, while at
many points it is found hard to get enough
competent hands. But the volume of busi-
ness expressed in values rises much more
than prices, showing a remarkable increase
in quantities of goods exchanged. Pay
1aents through clearing houses in the past
week have been 51.0 per cent greater than
last year The outbreak of war in South
Africa has brought no such changes as
many feared. In England the markets
have treated it as an event already over
discounted, and relations with this country
were not appreciably affected.
Wheat has declined l IL cents in price
in spite of unfavorable crop reports. and
Western receipts do not keep up with the
unprecedented movement of last year. But
Atlantic exports, -four included, have been
in three weeks of October 10, ,679 216 bush
els, against 8 1856, 226 last year and Pacific
exports !, ,53g, 1S8 against 2.29S312 last
year Beyond doubt prices would rise far
and fast with such a foreign demand, if
official and other current reports OF yield
we're fully credited Corn exports add tes-
timony as to foreign needs having been
in three weeks 1924 406 bushels, against
1902 O39 last year.
The upward movement of cotton, three
gixteenths for the week, has now come to
depend largely upon great speculation.
The consumption is heavy. Prices of goods
have risen so far that there is some doubt
whether they can be maintained. Wool also
has enlisted a powerful speculative interest,
and sales of II 293, coo pounds for the week
at three chief markets represent about
twice the consumption.
Sales of so. coo tons Bessemer pig and
reported demand for 100000 tons billets in a
bare market at PittsbuTg have made quota
tions less intelligent than usual Besseme1
sales at $23 for next year and $Z4.5O for TINS
year at Pittsburg are reported, with billet
sales at $394$40, ard sales OF sheet bars at
$50 per ton.
Shipments of boots and shoes from the
East have been 106, ,412 cases for the week,
against 81 ,142 last year, an increase Of II
per cent. At Chicago the market for hides
has been very active, and reported sales Of
265. .OGO sides at five markets have filed up
many tanueries for some time to come.
Stocks have advanced, in spite Of powerful
depressing influences. The average for
railroads has advanced 1.47 for the week
and for industrials 8S cents, and railroad
earnings in October have been S.6 per
cent larger than last year, and 21.4 per
cent larger than in 1892. Failures for
the week have been 45 in the United States,
against 22l last year, and 20 in Canada,
against u last year.

THE FRENCH WHEAT CROP.
The Country VIII Probably Import
4.OOO.OOO BusheIs

Consul Atwell the American representa-
tive at Roubaix, has forwarded to the State
Department the Exchange Bulletin" esti-
mate of the worlds wheat crop for 1899,
and particularly that of France The esti-
mate is as follows:
The provisional figures from France
show a crop of I22, ,242, eco hectoliters (346,-
500 554 bushels) this year against 49,
05O, 220 hectOliters (372,049.474 bushels) in
1898. This is a falling off of S,S0S 200 hec-
toliters Us, ,09S, 963 bushels) from last year,
but an increase OF L, ,245, ,SS6 hectoliters (34,-
TAI $50 bushels) over the mean production
Of the last ten years, which is figured at
los 996 ia hectoliteTs (379 321 ,975 busheIs).
Taking the general needs of consumption
in France at 124.000 600 hectoliters 1880
15S, 600 bushels) the crop will meet the de-
mand, if accounts be taken of the excep-
tioually abundant crop of last year. which
has left a large unconsumed stock of old
wheat available at present. The probable
importation is figured at 1900 900 hecto-
liters (4.255 500 bushels This will prob
ably be confined to hard wheat. which Is
not grown in France in sufficient quantity
to meet the needs Of manufacturers of ali
mentary pastes. The production of the
world at large is estimated at SS6, 500 0Ge

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
The Weakness Abroad Causes n
Slight Break in Wheat.

CHICAGO, Oct 2O.-Weakness abroad,
and particularly the poor export demand,
brought about a 3-4-cent break in the wheat
market Cash at Liverpool was 1-2q1d
lower although futures over here were off
only Id. Exporters were resellers on
this side. Argentine shipments exceeded a
million, although Argentine a year ago
shipped nothing CIearances were small.

December May difference is 3-4c.
Corn almost held it's own, barely off Is
cent in spite of the wheat break. The SEN
timent continues bullish on this grain, but
that has been Offset of late by the car
scarcity and by the very high freight rates
Argentine shipments last week were almost
1,5O0, 000 bushels. Liverpool was 1-2d lower
on spot. Seaboard clearances were 693, 600
bushels. There were 519 cars here today
The spectators rather than the shippers
are the bulls at the moment.
Oats were steady, following corn rather
than wheat. The two coarse grains are
under about the same sort Of influence
Provisions were quiet and steady, with
little change in prices. Packers sold mod
erately, and the buying was scattered,
partly by pit traders. The closing was
slightly easier. The cash demand for meats
was somewhat better, with prices for meats
lower.
