The New York Commercial "its:
"Jobbers are receiving many orders for goods
for immediate delivery, and the condition of
the market Is more encouraging. Price changes
are almost Invariably upward, with the pos
sible exception of peaches, which are uncer

tioned last week still prevails, und the out
look Is lor active business as soon us the
celebration is over and people really Eeitlo
down to the ordinary routine of trade.
"The announcement that the prices on rai
sins would surely be made to-day attra<ted
hardly more than passing attention. The fact
tl.at no prices except on standard grades
could b* made, owing to the uncertainty of
the crop, wus of more importance. The fact
that the old cr>>p is entirely sold nut iidJa to
the strength of the association's hi.ld on the
growers, nnj Indicates the Bagaclty of Presi
dent Kearny. It is likely that the raisin crup
has never been disposed of at tuch (rood fig
ure:- since growing became an important factor
in California's fruit Industry. Sales on th-
Fpot are small and nro limit.-d to such quanti
ties as are needed fur immediate consumption.
Prices remain steady at previous range.

EASTERN MARKETS,
New York Stock Market.
NEW YORK. Oct. H.— The disturbed condi
tion of the. foreign markets for securities and
the upward tendency of foreign discounts
caused a break in :>r!ces at the opening of
the Stock Exchange here. The selling move
ment was quite active in the first hour ami
prices for the day, in the majority, were made
In that time. There v/uh some pressure later
In the day in obscure quarters of the stock list
But prices generally were better by the end of
the first hour. In the latter part of the day
the email volume of offerings invited bidding
up of prices. The level of. many stocks was
carried above that of last night, both In the
railroad? an Industrial department. No lar^e
offerings were brought out by the advance and
even the violent upward leap In the money
rate to 40 per cent after 2 o'clock caused ■.:-.:•.■
a slight setback in prices. They hardened again
and the closing was very ftrm In an almost
Ftagnant market or.d only slightly below the
beet of the day. There is a mixture of gains
and losses throughout the list. Thero was con
siderable calling of loans In the early hours by
national ban! whose reserves ure below the
legal limit. But the money rate did not get
above 20 per cent during this period, and at the
opening money loaned at 6 per cent. Before tho
afternoon flurry It had falien back again to 6
jier cent. It was after 2 o'clock when the rate
spurted to 40 per cent, and then dropped back
again before the close. The urgent demand for
money seems confined to tho Stock Exchange,
ami the small disbursements created by to
day's high rate indicate row limits of need
there. Time loans, though they do not respond
to the high rates for call loans, are not offered
in large volume. Call loan rates at neighboring
financial centers wed I me deposition to ad
vance to-day, But the severe stringency j seems
confined to New York and to a narrow specu
lative circle- In the stock market.. There..is no
evidence ns yet of :my disturbance of the course
of general buHlu« v for lack at money. The
action of the London and Berlin markets I
and th« weekly return of ' the 'lmperial Bank
of Germany indicate an urgent need for money
there Obviously no further movement of gold
to New York la to be expected in the Imme
diate future. No effect is yet apparent from
the October disbursements of dividends and in
terest, but some funds are expected to make
their way from this source Into the New York
money market before many uuys.
A hope la entertained in Btock market cir
cles that sutne measure of relief by the Treas
ury Department is Imminent, us '.:.>■ absorption
of surplus revenues is th« principal cause of
exhaustion cf the local money reserve.
The bund market was dull, but prices were
lower In response to the high money rate. Tu
tal miles, p:ir value. $1,295,000.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.— The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram says:
Tho stuck market here opened weak to-day
and went flat early un the announcement of
an advance la the bank rate of discount from
SV4 to 4Vj. he advance was made by the gov
ernors of the Bank of England on their own
responsibility because of the rise In the rate
at Berlin of from 6 to 'i per cent. There was
no panic and little excitement, but It was
decidedly weak, although there was a slight
rebi.und finally.
Lord Rothschild, despite the critical state of
affairs in the Transvaal, told Ills lends this
intuiting that there would be no war. Con
sols were down to 101% lor money and 102»»
for the N. ijetiil.rr account. At th close to
day they were Wl*i for money.
Americans bepun flat and went from 'i to 1
point under parties. New York bought sllght
ly, but the dose was flabby near the worst.
The Berlin favm It's— Northern Pacific, Union
Pn'>!ts.' and Canadian Pacific— were most de
preesed. A money squeeze is expected there.

Chicago Grain Market.
CHICAGO. Oct. B.— Early Transvaal advices
contained nothing to Increase the apprehension
j of war and Wheat opened easier; December, 74*4
| ©74?ic; May, 77%©77% C, Those who had rushed
i to cover during yesterday's scare sold moder-
a tely. Cables were a disappointment, Liverpool
1 being up only Vid, while consuls showed an
: advanc-f. An advance set In following a report
that -hostilities had already begun. There was
a fat runs outside demand and the early sellers
asxln bought to cover their first sales. Undor
this Impulse December ascended to 74%@74%c.
: The advance was not held long. The nervous
feeling resulted In more selling and the price
slumped to opening figures. The last advance
of the day carried December to 74% c, but this
was also lost, the price sliding off to 73% c, the
i low mark for the day, and closed at 7<c. The
i break was due largely to the big Increase In
Northwestern elevator stocks, 6,000,000 bushels,
compared with 3,493,000 increase In September
of. last year. The announcement of this served
• a? a signal for a lot of selling and the war
news for the time being was Ignored.
Corn held strong the greater part of the day
altected principally by the Transvaal political
crisis. December closed at 30Vi@30%0.
Oats held firm, influenced less by war new«
and break less severely on the turns. De
cember closed at 23V«c.
Provisions were dull. January pork closed

London Wool Sales.
LONDON, Oct. 3.— The offerings at the wool
auction pales to-day amounted to 10,743 bales.
The tone was steady, with prices ruling at the
late decline. Medium coarse stocks were rather
easier. The recent Blackening In the demand
Is attributed to manufacturers having filled
their requirements. The prospects of dearer
money Is causing many merchants and specu
lators to suspend operations for the time be
in*. Scoured merinos were taken chiefly by
the home trade. Many bales of medium New
South Wales and Queensland were withdrawn.
Locks and pieces were easily disposed of at
a very small decline. Greasy merinos Bold
steadily to French and German buyers. Cross
breda were In large supply, and as the qual
ity was fine competition was spirited. Medium
greasy was Irregular, owing to the withdrawal
of American support. Cearse stock was taken
principally by the home trade at prices on a
level with yesterday's decline. Sllpes were
largely withdrawn.

WHEAT— future market fell back In
sympathy with a decline at Chicago. Spot quo
tations remained unchanged.
Chicago opened easier on large receipts and
latter market were 1 higher, as well ac at
Paris. There were more buyers than sellers,
however, at the decline. War rumors kept the
market nervous and unsettled. Later on good
speculative buying developed, and there was
a phenomenal demand for cash corn. Still ;
later the market turned weak, the outside buy
ing subsiding and the local crowd being over
loaded. In addition St. Louis turned seller on
a large scale and It was learned that Northwest
county elevator stocks Increased 4,00u,00u bush
els in September. ,

coal have been delivered here, viz: Dv Gues
clin. 2198 tons; General de Charette, 3058 tons;
Port Patrick, 2726 tons; Sea King, 2160 tons;
total, 10,142 tons. There are In the engagement
list twenty-one vessels, loading and afloat, with
a. capacity of about GO.fcQQ tons; of these only
three lire due this month, hence the stock on
hand i.f Australian will become almost nil
next month. Colonial fuel is being displaced
by our local coast collieries, as the cost de
livered here of the former Is too high, although
i the coals from Newcastle are very popular with
' some consumers, but the deliveries for the past
j Fix months nre diminishing, and are too spas
i modic and Irregular. The prevailing freight
I rates and the high cost of coal at Sydney and
Newcastle make shipments almost prohibitory.
The exceptional dralt this year from Australia
for the Honolulu market hay diverted vessels
1 from thin port, and has forced freights up,
1 so that tonnage for here Is absolutely unob
■ tamable at covering rates. This rush of fuel
, to Honolulu will diminish materially in the
I next nix months, as the moving of troops to
! the front must ease off before that time, and
transport! will be gradually dropped out of
I the service. A number of these same steamers
■ will eventually drift Into coal carrying on the
; coast here, and freights will decline in that
line In 1900, pay about twelve months hence."

CONTINUED ACTIVITY WITH FIRM
PRICES EVERYWHERE.
The Pacific Coast Wood and Iron for Octo
ber says:
"Redwood has not been quite as active dur
ing the past month as In August, but the fall
ing off has not been very noticeable. The re
ceipts have not been as heavy In September,
but It Is always the case each year In this
month. Pine, spruce and fir have held their
I own, and the lumber business, both from a
| retail and wholesale point of view, is extreme
ly healthy and progressive. This is for San
Francisco and the near-by vicinities along and
across the bay.
"In Northern California the most encourag
ing activity is reported. The mining Interests
are making heavy demands for suitable tim
ber, and several large log drives have been
accomplished to meet the orders. Building is
going on rapidly and the evidences of agricul
tural prosperity are seen on all skies. In Hum- 1
i boidt and Mendocino counties the mills are I
j rushed with foreign and domestic orders.
"In the southern part of California reports
i show an ever-increasing lumber business. Or
ders are frequent and heavy, but difficulty is
experienced, as in the past months of 1899, in
getting suitable vessels for the southern route.
To offset this drawback, the local San Fran
cisco, Eureka and Northwestern shipyards are
busy with a number of new schooners. These
may neutralize the scarcity, but more vessels
I will be needed before long.
"In the Pacific Northwest the lumber busi
ness has never been better. The market Is nor
mal and healthy in Its evidences. Portland.
Or., is turning out about 850,000 feet of lumber
per day. Prices are advancing with the in
crease of demands and the present 'wave of
prosperity is carrying the lumber manufac- j
turers and dealers along at a merry rate.
Great scarcity of logs is the heaviest drawback,
and logging outfits are running on a scale I
never heard of before.
"In Washington every department of the lum
her market is happy. The foreign and Fast
cm shipments are growing and show heavier
exports than for years gone by. The Puset
Sound lumbermen see a bright future In the
Hawaiian Island trade. The Puget Sound lum
ber has secured a firm foothold in Hawaii, and
it is expected the. trade will grow to enormous
proportions with the growth of the islands.
"All in all, the coast lumber interests feel
like according a Dewey celebration to the firm
and steady condition of the lumber trade and
the advent of even better times."
