LONDON, October 31.-After a
nervous opening, due to intrusion
of political uncertainties, the securi-
ties market improved steadily during
the last week, but hardly regained
its stride of previous weeks. Pro-
fessional operators were definitely
more cautious, in view of substantial
open profits ready to be taken.
The bullish undertone, however,
fostered by continued good industrial
news and dividend statements and
the buoyancy in commodities, accel-
Grated the upward movement In shares
Of producing companies, while arnla-
ment shares were stimulated by the
treasury statement showing f83, ,000,-
600 in contracts were given for the
army, navy and air.
There was quiet recovery in gilt
edged bonds after early dullness,
which was explained by the release
of government funds held up prior
to disbursement of interest and
Thursdays Bank of England return

average Of f16, 100000 In September.

end of the month, showing an increase

further dishoarding by foreign hold

Reserve Bank Report Cites
Gains in Tobacco and
Cotton Prices.
Ey the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va, October 81
Business In the fifth district In
September and early October con-
tinued to run well ahead of the cor
responding period of 1885, the
monthly review, Of the Federal Re-
serve Bank here said.
Prices in tobacco and cotton in
clined upward, coal production for
September far exceeded September,
1885, production, textile mills in
creased operation for the month and
orders continued to pile up in Octo-
Der and employment conditions con-
tinued much better than those of
year ago with practically no seasonal
reduction of out-of-doors work.
Industries in the District, embrac-
ing the States of Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina
and South Carolina, have begun tax
ing on additional workers for Fall
trade, the report stated, and con-
struction work is sufficiently active
to cause shortages Of labor in some
skilled lines. Opening Of tobacco
makerts in September and October
gave employment to handlers, and
coal production on a daily basis in
September rose sharply, giving miners
longer hours and increased pay
envelopes.
Earning Assets Down.
Total earning assets of the Federal
1f DfahorI
chned by $3,171, 900 between the
middle Of September and the middle
of October, decreases of $2,501, 900
in Government security holdings and
$715,000 in industrial advances con-
trasting with small increases Of s40,-
900 in discounts held and $1,000 in
foreign loans on gold.
Federal Reserve notes in actual cir
culation rose seasonally by $l1,344,-
600 between September Is and Oc-
tober is, the rise being accounted for
principally by marketing of tobacco
and cotton. Member bank reserve de-
posits at the Richmond Federal Re-
serve Bank rose by s7.7o6. 900 during
the month under reveiw.
Failure Record Good.
The commercial failure record of
the fifth Reserve district in Septem-
ber was good, but compared unfav-
orably with the record for the United
States as a whole. The report de-
scribed this contrast as more ap-
parent than real, the district having
made an exceptionally favorable rec
ord last year."

MIXED TREND SEEN

TEXTILES HIGHER
Non. Ferrous Metals Also Hit
New Peaks-Copper
Holds Spotlight.
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statisticiar.

NEW YORK, October 31.-Com-
modify prices followed divergent trails
during the past week, textiles and nom
ferrous metals reaching new peaks
for the year, while farm products de-
clined.
Top news Of the commodity week
was the advance in domestic copper to
10 cents a pound. Despite repeated
increases in output by both domestic
and foreign producers, bids for the
red metal in rearming Europe were
boosted so far above quotations here
that rise was considered inevitable
in trade circles.
Prices abroad continued moving up
following the increase, causing many
analysts on both sides of the water to
look for another mark-up here In short
order. should demand remain at cur
rent levels.
With industrial activities bowling
along at fast clip in this country and
armaments the chief source of foreign
absorption, both tin and lead moved
up with copper.
Index Up Slightly.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important wholesale commodities
stood at 80.9l, compared with 80.89
last week and 1894 a year ago.
The press Of heavy orders buoyed
textile prices. With the cotton manu-
facturers and fabricators in many in
stances already sold well ahead and no
let-up in sight, demand has been spill
ing over into silks and woods. Quota
tions for each fabric edged ahead.
Agricultural staples dropped as grains
were sold by longs. Private estimates of
probable out run or grains and cotton
point to higher yields than we're orig
inally figured on. Corn, wheat, rye
and cotton all moved of. Oats made
small gain.
Live stock was mixed. The decline
in hogs, accompanied by heavy offer
ings, carried the index down. Cattle
and lamb advanced slightly.
Butter jumped more than a cent
a pound on good demand. Sugar,
cocoa, -four and lard were fractionally
lower.
Lumber Prices Jump.
Lumber and steel scrap stood out
among industrial commodities. The
former rose as the Pacific Coast dock
strike became certainty, since much
lumber is produced In that area and
shipped via boat through the Panama
Canal to the Eastern seaboard. The
decline in scrap was extended as sup
plies-brought out by the high prices
prevailing short time ago-remained
unusually large. Rubber, coal and
burlap picked up slightly.
