New York. Nov. 11.-R. q. u d
| Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Little relief has been afforded the
leading manufacturing industry In the
| matter OF transportation facilities. In
fact, the situation on the hole Is less
satisfactory since inability to secure
coke has brought about the banking OK
some furnaces. This in turn tends TO
harden the market for pig iron. though
no actual alteration In prices has oc-
CURED except at Philadelphia. where rs
cents more a ton Is readily paid. Ma
terial is purchased now for much struc-
tural work In the spring, and additional
contracts are seeking acceptance. Rail-
way needs were never as pressing,
every form OF equipment being sought.
Labor troubles and low water have
added to the difficulty arising from car
shortage. making three retarding In
fluences affecting the output OF coal
just when the export demand has be-
come n factor OF Importance.
Textile mills in New England are
busy, and there Is no longer any fear
OF labor controversy at Fall River.
Print cloths have ceased to be inflated,
standard widths resuming the former
quotation OF 3 cents n meeting with
q fair demand. Domestic buying OF all
staple cottons is seasonably quiet and
the views OF exporters are still below
those OF sellers. Reports from the south
indicate that spindles are well occu-
pied. In woolens there is n free move
ment OF women's dress goods and or
ders are plentiful in heavier weight
lines for immediate delivery. The sea-
son has reduced manufacturers stock
OF heavy woolens and worsted TO a low
point, and recent unprecedented buying
OF raw material indicates that orders
come foT ward freely. Footwear Is firm
at last weeks advance, and eastern
manufacturers are beginning work on
spring orders.
Leather IS held at the best prices Of
the season and dry hides rose further
on heavy sales.
Weather conditions were the chief
factors I'm determining price changes
of staple products. Low temperature In
grain growing states brought a higher
level OF quotations, corn rising 23
cents above the figure ruling at the
corresponding date last year and 26
cents over 1899. These advances Of
more than so per cent are far In excess
Of the ratio OF loss In production and

States for the week amounting to 5,65l,-

ing and foreign demands caused a
fair advance In price TO abou last
years figure. despite the difference in
output. Cotton weakened further; eX-
port and interior movements indicated
q better crop thar was anticipated.
At the lower price, however, exports
are heavy and tend to prevent any
serious reaction.
Coffee advanced despite the record

CROKER ON RESULT
TamnIany Chief Says People Wanted
a CHANGE.

New York, Nov. 6.-Mr. Croker, COM
menting on Mr.. S~hepard's defeat, said
he could not ascribe it to any one issue.
THE people wanted a change he SAID,
land the organization bows to the Will
Of the people. Tammany Hall has bee1
In power for practically seventeen
years, and IL any one party were to re
main in control for too long n period the
tendency would be toward a perpetual
ton OF power until the result would re-
semble a monarchy. Tammany Hall
has always profited by defeat and I
hope will do so this time"
Mr.. Croker said that all dissatisfied
persons had voted against the demo-
cratic nominee and that had contrib
uted much to the result.
AS to his own plans in the immediate
future he had nothing TO say. He said,
however, that Mr.. Low would have the
good wishes Of the democracy in his adj
ministration.
