In the prefacing Commissioner Carroll D. Wrigbt jt?nders cordial acknowledgement of the co-opera- 1 tionr and assistance rendered by H. i Llewellyn Smith, hena ot ine i>?o<?r ucpartment In England, arvd.^I. C. Moron ^ and M. C. Morlsteaux, tlv[chiefs of the bureau! of labor in France and Belglum, respectively, through means % of which the department wan the recipient of very accurate data on .the wage question In these countries./ J Prices of the essentials of life in con, nectlon with the ivag*/rates are not discussed, although the avticle remarks their tendency since 1092 probably "has been slightly downward/' and asks when the wage tables i^rq'studied It be considered when "prices are stationary and wages have increased, every increase means greater purchasing power or a day's work." while "if there is a decrease in prices the increase in purchasing power of a day's work is so much gi eater." ? The wa?e tables Include such various occupations as are susceptible of accurate definition in the countries mentioned, and their number is limited to twenty-five occupations by the dlffl- ^ culty of determining tne equivalent in foreign countries to the home industries. Regarding the home industries, ! wage quotations for each occupation, were in most instances secured from at' least two establishments in the cities of Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans. New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Allegheny, Richmond, Bt. Louis, St. Paul and San Francisco, for the period of "1870 to 1808." Respecting foreign wages the years 1897 and 1898 are not covered by the report, on account of the difficulties and delay experience in obtaining correct data. Data for the wages abroad have been secured from London and Manchester in England, Glasgow in Scotland, Paris In France, and Liege in Belgium. The averages of daily wages for the home occupations. It is explained, do not represent the averages of the Hems obtained from large Industrial centres of thp United States, are probably somewhat higher than what prevailed throughout the country. ' In order to make accdttte comparison of wages in the United States during the period from 1870 to 1878, Inclusive, when money was considerably de- , predated, and the years from 1879 for?? ?? ?* atlnwanrd has baon made for i the depreciation In currency, and the figures given for the earlier years are those secured toy reduction of the original curxehcy wages to their equivalent In gold. The wages of the foreign countries arc, of course, given in gold, and as the reports of wages in-Belgium for certain occupations do not cover the entire period, such report's were not u.?ed In .computing the general average of wages that prevailed ?here, and for k * the paine reason, the report of wages in London for blacksmiths were not made use of In computing the general average of wages for Great Btntain. The reader is cautioned against making use of the summary of rerults con- { t 'ined in the bulletin for,other purnose than tracing the course of wages 1 Trom #*ear. to year, and to avoid instl- * tutlng comparisons between the wages v of the different countries, because each j average for'the United 'States repre- , 265 wage quotations, while each average for Great Britain represents only ' uveni)-oevcii quuiauuus?ku w??r.tlona In London, eleven in Manchester fi and six In Glasgow?for France only j, tvvor.ty-one quotations, and for Belgium only eleven quotations. The wage tables tell that In the United States tharo was a rise from $2 20%, the wages of 1870, to In 1871. and 12 45 In 1872. A gradual decline, which readied Its lowesfi point?a wage average of $2 18?In 1876. occurred during' the four succeeding years. There was a rise to $2 24V& In "1877 and to 52 30^4 In 1878 and a gradual increase up to 1884. when $2 49 was reached. In 1885 a slight decline took place, which continued throughout 1886, but In 1887 the wages that prevalled.?in 1884 were more than regained, and there was a steady rise in the rates of wages from 1887 to 1892, Inclusive, when 52 26, the highest nolnt for that period, was reached. From 1892 to 1898, there was a alight but steady decline, wages for 1898 being $2 43%. or $0 12% below the higheat mark they reached In 1892. but above the wages for 1S70 bv 22*4 cents. The Immense superiority in wages paid to American over foreign workingmen Is shown by analysis of the wages tables for ond the averages reached in Great Britain. France and Belgium during the entire period. So far as Great Britain, in which country wages most nearly of all European countries approach the scale paid in the United States, is concerned there was it gradual Increase in the Averaged of wages during the yearn from 1870 to 1877, the rate being In 1S70 II 20 and In 1877 $1 41%. In 1878 thenwas a slight falling, which fell further in 1879 and 18S0, the average during those two years being $1 37%. Wages increased to 81 40% In 1883. and remained at this rate during 1894, but the fears 1885 and 1S86 show a slight decrease. after which there was a steady increase until wages reachcd $1 49 in 1853. In France, with the exception of 1888. during which year there was a slight decrease, wages showed n gradual increase from $1 06 In 1S70 to $1 33 In 1898. Of Belgium, the rabies <ell that wages Increased from 80 59*4 In 1870. to $0 65% in 1874. They fell slightly during 18746-6-7-8, reaching $0 60% In the latter year, after which a gradual rise, which continued through 1879-1880-1-2, took place. The five years that followed were ones in which wages decreased, SO 62% being reachcd In 1887. During the years subsequent wages fell and rose, and In 1896 reached 10 66%.

The professional element ihowed no disposition to take profits, | lending the holiday, although there had >een sufficient rise in the last two days o turn the balance of operations to that tide In any closing up of speculative ac:ounts. The evidence was rather on the side of the covering of the shorts. Trading procetded In a /ery desuUory manner during the arly hours of the day, although the selling for foreign account, which was 'airly liberal, was well absorbed, and )rices of in-ternationaJ stocks firmly suaained. Southern railway preferred cvas a conspicuous example. But as he day wore on the market gained both n activity and strength, and embraced in Increasing list of stocks. The conemplatlon of the very heavy volume of )ank exchanges, and the enormous ex>ort business in cereals had their influence on the bullish tendency, as did the continued favorable report of railroad earnings, especially from the west and south. An increase of 4,000 tons in the ;ast-bound freight movement from Chl;ago was a feature. Handsome Increases In earnings were alno shown by southern railways. Northern Pacific ind Great Northern preferred, the later showing *386,941 more earned for Ocober than last year.

CHICAGO?The unwillingness of traders to remain short over the election holiday was the main factor in an advnnee of %c in wheat to-day. Corn, oats and provisions show no substantial change. Nearly all of the activity of the wheat market was confined to the first fortyfive minutes' trading. There was a very evident unwillingness umong big and little shorts to leave the contracts oncovered over to-morrow's election, and the demand from this source, while it lasted, was very potent. The main additional support of the market came apparently from the uneasiness In England over the political .situation, as shown by a drop of 3-16(1 In consols. French rentes were also easier. Liver ?? ?-*- ' Unil pool, oy openin? nine hvit, uau recovered the decline it started with, and cables brought fair acceptances and inquiries for corn and oats for both the United Kingdom and thf* continent. The cession preceding a holiday is always notably dull, and to-day was no exception. After the early demand had been satisfied the market dropped. Domestic receipts were very heavy, and the visible supply was expected to show a large Increase. These facts had a good deal of influence in causing a diminution of the demand from those who were buying on the European situation, and by the noon hour a good part of the early advance had been lost. During the last hour trading was excessively dull, but prices held fairly steady, renewed covering by shorts on a small scale being sufficient to sustain the market. May opened c higher at 66Vfc<&'66?ic. It sold up within a short time to 6S% and gradually declined to 66c. The closing price was 66?4c. Corn early showed some strength, mostly through sympathy with wheat, but the subsequent weakening In wheat, and the liberal receipts of corn, had influence enough to cause a gradual decline In the price of the coarser cereal. There was a fair shipping demand for corn, and clearances were llheral. May ranged from 33% to 33Hc, and closed a shade higher at 33ty,$T3394c. The market for oals reflected the action of wheat and corn, when signs of weakness appeared there was rather free offerings by receivers. Cash demand was limited. May ranged from 24%fv24%c to 24 He. and closed a shade lower at 24%?-5%e. Provisions were almost at ? standstill. Tho market was firmer, helped by better yard prices and the advance In wheat. What little trading was done was mostly of a sculping nature. January pork closed unchanged at $9 OK; January lard a shade higher at 00Q5 02V4 and January ribs unchanged i?t $4 fcr>.
