Special telegraphic adviees to the In
ternational Mercantile Agency from cor
respondents throughout the United States
and Canada are summarized as follows:
The most significant trade feature of
the week is found in tendency to great
er ease in money for mercantile uses at
Boston, Philadelphia. Chicago and Pitts
burg st. Louis bankers anticipate like
conditions there soon.
In the Canadian dominion there is a
good demand for heavy winter goods.
The wheat harvest there is exceptionally
large, and growers are receiving about
rs cents bushel for it.
Winter wheat sowing has progressed
fayorably. Prospects for top crop OF
cotton have decreased. Rice receipts
at Southern markets have been quite
free. Crude oil prices are up l. cents
within two weeks.
The increase Of $200,000.000 gain in
loans and discounts by national banks be-
tween Sept. 10. 1902, and Sept. 3, 1908,
is explained fro-I the Office of the Comp
troller of the currency TO be largely due
10 the fact that between those dates
there were chartered $40 national banks,
with capital, surplus, undivided prohts,
circulation, government deposits and re-
discounts of $3.50 100000.

Local feeling at Vancouver is very
bitter over the award Of the Alaskan
boundary commission. There IS much
talk of annexation and Of Canada be-
toming Independent, business men gener-
ally being much dissatisfied at what they
pronounce British Disregard Of Canadian
interests TO please the United States. II
is a matter of comment that the most
outspoken among the discontinued are
Englshmen residing here. Many Of these
say that Canada Will never achieve her
greatest possibilities until she becomes
part Of the United States. The Rev.
Elliott S. Rowe, the leading Methodist
minister of British Columbia and who,
with Chief Justice Hunter. composed the
labor commission which sat last summer,
in an interview said: 81 am a Britisher
and ! have always been a Britisher, but
If Great Britain is 10 hand Canada over

be potent enough to have something to

Traveller crane on the Pittsburg end of
til" new Wabash bridge over the Monon-
gahela river nine men were killed aud

lowing the builders to work. While
many men were at work ON this addi.
tioaal section the projecting bar snapped

Grain shipments for six days, includ-
ing 1922, AL bushels of corn, aggregate

presented the most interest, owing to
stronger buying and the scarcity of that

7 r. G. Dun & Co.'S
| New YORK. Weekly Review of Trade


While some contraction in trade and
industry has undoubtedly taken place, it
is not in proportion to the reduction of
20 per cent in PIE iron output, or the
reaction in prices of securities, although
in normal years these have usually prov
ed fairly reliable barometers. Many
branches OF manufacture, however, are
working full force, with large orders still
untitled, while the latest returns OF the
crops are most encouraging. Finance
and labor are the disturbing elements
this year. neutralized very largely by
favorable commercial and agricultural
conditions. The net result is fairly well
maintained volume of trade, offset by
conservatism in carrying out protected
new undertakings and proposed extern
sions of facilities. Railway earnings
thus far available for October are 6.2
per cent larger than last year and 12.7
per cent above 1901.
Weekly conflicting reports are received
as to the condition of the iron and steel
industry. There is evidence that the de-
cline in quotations has been checked. al
though it is occasionally stated that spe-
cial terms are made on important con-
tracts. a better inquiry is noted in the
West, pig iron being freely taken by
open-hearth steel furnaces and makers of
railway supplies. and in some favored
lines the new orders cover deliveries
through all of next gear.
Footwear factories are busy on con
tracts that win require some time to
finish. and wholesalers still complain that
deliveries OK heavy goods are not made
promptly, yet there are indications that
trade is quieting down at the East There
is no elimination in activity at the West.
More idle machinery has resumed at
cotton mills, but the cost of raw cotton
is still considerably above a parity with
the prices that buyers are willing to give
for goods. Increased inquiries are noted,
although the unsatisfactory quotations
prevent business being consummated.
Woolens are dull in mems wear fabrics
and quiet in dress goods.
Failures this week number POS in the
United States. against 206 last year, and
in Canada 2S, compared with "A year
ago.

The Baltimore financial world was
startled Monday by the suspension of
two OF tie citys largest financial con
Germs, with joint liabilities Of $1,000
600. The Maryland Trust Company,
with capital stock Of 81, 900 and
deposits OF over $5,000,000, and the Un-
ion Trust Company, whose capital stock
is S1,000,000, with deposits of about
$4,000, went into the hPuds of receiy
ers by consent
Allan McLane. third vice president Of
the Maryland Trust Company, was APP
pointed receiver for that company, with
a bond OF 100000, and Miles White,
Jr., one of the vice presidents OF the
Union Trust Company, was appointed
receiver for his company, with a bond
Of $1,0000O0. number of petitions
for coreceivers have been fled in court
By stockholders and others interested.
Although the two companies had no
interests in common, their suspensions
were closely related. The Maryland
Trust Company has about S6,090000
tied up in the Vera Cruz and Pacific
Railroad, across the Isthulus OF Tehuan-
tepec, in Mexico, which has recently
been completed The unfavorable condi-
ton of the market has prevented the
company from realizing anything on
these securities and it has become press
ed for money. The effort was made to
negotiate a loan Of S2,000.000 in Lon
don, but failed, aud this precipitated the
receivership.
> A run on the banking department of
the Union Trust Company caused its EN-
barrassment. The doors of the Many
