DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-R. u.
Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade
will say tomorrow:
Not Wall street alone, but the entire
business world as well, watched the
progress Of efforts to bring about a set
tlement OF the anthracite coal strike
with active interest. This week the
paralysis of the anthracite industry
was more complete than last, and the
effect YVES seen upon the distribution
of merchandise in the east and the
placing of new orders with manufac-
tuners. Coal advanced % cents above
Hast week, and the larger companies
refused to name a selling price.
Aside from the expected reduction to
S26 for steel rails, and sale of Besse-
mer pig at Pittsburg at $1375, the whole
list Of iron and steel products is I'M
changed The feeling grows stronger
that bottom has been reached. Taking
the eleven articles quoted in our price
tables, it will be seen that after an ad-
vance OF over 100 per cent, in 1893,
prices have declined only about So per
cent this year and there is already a
tendency toward a higher level. One
company is considering the purchase of
10000 tons OF foundry iron and an ex-
port order for $500 tons of rails has
been placed. More coke ovens are in
operation but the price is unchanged.
Failures for the week were 204 in
the United States, against 1877 last year,
and Is in Canada, against II last year.

CHICAGO, September 2S.-An esti-
mate of heavy exportable surplus for
the Argentine was largely responsible
for weak wheat market to-day, Octo-
der closing 1A@1asc lower. Corn
closed &c down and oats shade higher.
Provisions closed but little changed.
Wheat started dull and weak and
kept at that gait all day. The chief
beariSh factor was a cabled estimate
that the Argentine will have an export
able surplus of 100000 bushels. On
the other hand, northwest receipts were
light, Argentine shipments only $4,000
bushels, compared with $4,000 bushels
the week previous. The seaboard re-
ported 10 loads taken for export The
crowd was in the selling mood. how
ever, and bull news was tossed into the
waste basket while the price bumped
down the speculative stairs. October
opened Ac lower at THO to 77ssc,
touched 771ac soon after and then. un-
der pressure of liquidation, some of it
credited to foreigners and some of it on
stop loss orders, dropped to 76Nc, at
which the market closed weak IL 613sc
under yesterday. Primary receipts
were $4,000 bushels, compared with
Uf1sVpV DuSuCiS i<sSl veal.
and Duluth reported 374 cars, against
40 last week and 500 year ago. Local
receipts were 302 cars, % of contract
grade. Clearances were $4,000 bush
els
Corn was a sluggard all day and
prices were easier on the receipts, ST.
cars, III cars more than the estimate
and in sympathy with the wheat weak
ness. The shipping demand was slack,
exporters re-offering cargoes here. Oe-
tober sold between $3.50 and 39Ac, and
closed sc down at 39asc.
There was practically nothing done in
oats. II was largely a changing mar
ket and in consequence held steady.
October sold between 217s@22c, and
21Ac. closing a shade up at 217s@22c
Receipts were 262 cars.
Provisions enjoyed a fairly good
speculative trade without changing
much in price Buying by shorts in
October lard and ribs was the chief sus-
tanning influence January pork sold
between S11.57ia and s11.671a. and clos
ed unchanged at SLIGO; January lard
between s6.771s and s6s2l1s. closing un-
changed at S6.77k@6.S0. and january
ribs between s6.171a and s6.221a G6.25.
with the close 2lzc up at $500
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, $50 cars: corn. 825 cars; oats,
265 cars: hogs. $4,000 head.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-The
Commercial Advertisers London finan-
cial cablegram says:
The markets here were idle and unde-
cided to-day. London declined to fol-
low the New York lead. Americans
hardly held at parity in the early
hours and they closed fiat on New York
offerings. Silver was excited, reach
ing 29A on government buying. 1t is
assumed that this is for India.
There was strong exceptional de-
mand for Mexican dollars.
Considerable option money was given
for calls for several months. This is
surmised to be speculation on Bryan's
chances. The bank released a good
deal of money, breaking the call rate
from Az to 21a per cent.

pointed a clerk in the postoffice there
December 10, 1900, and transferred

Stock.s-Stocks were reactionary
again to-day on the substantial salts
! faction Of the urgent demand from the
short interest. The brokers were too
busy on the floor last night in the clos
ing hour to notice what was going on
in the loan crowd, but the fact was
disclosed this morning that the supply
OF stocks was again very abundant as
result of the heavy reduction in the
outstanding short interest and the con-
sequent borrowing demand for stocks.
This in itself was sufficient to indicate
a reaction, as the existence of a large
short interest is a potential support to
prices and its elimination materially
Weakens the technical position of the
market. In addition there was the
usual lack of explicit official informa-
ton regarding yesterdays rumored
strike settlement and some natural re-
action in sentiment in consequence.
But the underlying conviction remains
hnshaken that a settlement is in
course of arrangement. There were
strong spots among the coalers, Read
ing first preferred advancing at the
opening on its good showing of August
net earnings, and Lackawanna rising
an extreme 3s4 on the declaration of
the regular quarterly dividend. This
served as something of drag on the
downward course of the market. Grow
ing weakness developed among the spe-
clalties, and very heavy liquidation was
in evidence in orthern Pacific, the
stock declining 2ss. The liquidation
was attributed to Berlin account. the
Berlin stock market continuing in
highly unsettled condition owing to the
growing stringency of money. De-
clines for many of the prominent stocks
ranged from l to points from the
lowest, and the demand to cover shorts
fat the decline was slight. The market
closed dull and heavy The prospect of
an unfavorable bank statement was
notably depressing factor. The banks
have lost on sub-treasury account alone
S., 10000. which includes deposits By
the banks for payments at other points.
The express movement of money to the
interior is expected to bring the aggre-
gate loss in cash by the banks to above
81 500, 900, or about million in excess
of that of last week. Liquidation in
the stock market has not been as large
as last week. but a small decrease in
loans y expected. The inroad upon
