This statement was made at the company offices despite the fact that it is admitted there are more or less seri- ous delays in the traffic schedule, the worst of which seems to be on the suburban lines.
 Mir. Goodwin denied that there was anything like confusion resulting from the installation of the new system. No report on traffic yesterday was re- ceived this morning but indications were that it took a slight slump. MT Goodwin attributes this to the cold weather and not to the zone sys- tenn.

LOCAL STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN VERY NARROW MARKET
Price Variations Confined Small Fractions-oney Market

The local market settled down into
very much of pcrfunctory affair
usually witnessed on the half holiday
in midsummer The trading was cN-

from a few inactive issues, were con-
fined to small fractions
The waiting character of the market,
which was more pronounced than in the

in view of the crratic gyrations of the

NO LET-UP IN VOLUME
OF WESTERN BUSINESS
Maintenance Of Activity in Face
of Strike Conditions Con-
sidered Remarkable

Chicago. Nov. S.-Thc maintenance
Of business activity throughout the
West. in the face of unparalleled strike
conditions of disturbing character. is
remarkable.
Generally speaking, there has been
little. if any. lct-up in the volume of
operations in any quarter. Many manu-
featuring concerns are worrying about
the supply of coal little later on, but
up to this time the curtailmcnt of op-
crationS has been necessary only in
few cases. The advance in corn prices
is productive of more solid satisfaction
in agricultural sections than anything
else, and this feeling is being reflected
in heavy buying of all kinds of mcr-
ChandiSC
Wholesale business the first week in
November will be far ahead of last year
and is of record breaking proportions
for the time of year. Cotton goods of
all descriptions continue to advance, and
the late reports in regard to cotton pro
duction and the quality of the crop are
making buyers all the more determined
to supply their needs as far ahead as
possible, resulting in further advances
in prices.
Steel and iron production has not
been affected adversely by. the coal
strike so far, as the companies nave
been supplied with fair coal stock re-
serves. October export sales were lib
cral. but shipments naturally have been
limited. There has been moderate i'm
provcment in the steel situation from
a producing point of view, but Strik"
conditions are still crippling the plants
to a considerable extent.
Reports from interior banks reflect
strong situation, with funds plentiful
4 for all legitimate needs, Deposits in
| both state and national banking institu r.
| tions are of large volume.
Railroad traffic statistics for October
reflect the prosperity of the West in
graphic way. October was the biggest
freight traffic month in the history OF
the burlington road. and it is regarded
as especially significant that the in
crease in miscellaneous freight as com
pared to October last year was ~ PEI
cent. Other western roads all show blI
gains over last year i'll total traffic.
Money rates are steady, business
houses being given the same accom-
modatiOns at the same rates that have
prevailed for several months. The rate
at Chicago on collateral are Jl2 to
per cent aud "a to 5l4 per cent TO

cries were made. In short, it was shown
that the supply continued extremely
limited. So long as this state of af
fairs exists there is little danger of
serious lmcksct in these favorites.
These same stocks, however, much as
in the preceding sessions. were wholly
neglected in the days short session.
