GOOD FARMING WEATHER.
Iron And Steel Market Conditions
Pipe and Plates in Demand
WOOL PRICES SATISFACTORY.

New York, Oct 29-R G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says that
contracts for steel rails for the season
thus far are within 80, 900 tons of last
years heavy bookings, and the conf
dence in an ultimate marked improve
ment is so strong that all raw
materials are firm, and without any
speculative activity to stimulate them.
The weather over a great part of the
country has been favorable for agri-
cultural operations, which are pro-
crossing well, and in the West the
unreasonable temperatures have re-
tarded general trade comparatively
little, as there has been no great slim
illus yet this season.
Conditions in the iron and steel mar
ket steadily improve: orders gradually
swell in volume and buyers make less
effort to secure concessions. In most
cases quotations are not altered, but
there is an advance to $50 at Phiiadel
phia for billets, owing to the. better
business IN rails. Pig iron moves free
ly, especially at Chicago, where manu-
facturers have contracted heavily for
finished stuff in excess of raw material
on hand. Cast iron pipe is in urgent
demand and new plans for ship build
ing will take plates. Bridge builders
are buying structural forms heavily.
Cotton showed little recuperative
power after last weeks decline and
closed lower. The loss in price is
$3.50 a bale since October Q, and ex-
porters are still holding off Wheat
also continued its downward course,
| owing to the good news here and
| abroad, but an encouraging feature
was the accelerated foreign buying as
quotations declined. Atlantic exports
| for the week were 1895. O2s bushels
against a.253,62 q year ago, and
Pacific shipments s7s,O43 bushels
against 65s. $50 last year. Corn is
| slightly weaker. while pork products
have fallen sharply. Most other pro-
visions are heavy. but linseed oil rose
sharply to 75c. The better tone of the
boot and shoe market was sufficient
| explanation for the advance in materi-
ais. New England shops are buster
than for many months before, but thus
far manufactured goods have not ad-
vanced with materials. Sales of wool
at the three chief Eastern markets
continue to increase, exceeding $780,
600 pounds last week. Prices are not
altered, and bids slightly below the
markets are refused. Cotton goods
move rather more freely as the price
comes nearer parity with raw material
but wide sheetings are dull at the adj
vance to pc.
