EASTERN MARKETS
New York Stock Market.
NEW YORK Oct. 27.— stock market j
made a considerable display of strength during !
the early hours of the day. Later there were ;
occasional advances by individual stocks or
groups, some of "which saved gains on the day,
but In the majority of cases the active selling
movement of the last hour wiped out the ear
lier gains and carried prices In some cases
sharply below laet night's level. The motive
of the gelling was tile fear of an unfavorable i
bank statement to-morrow, as well as to take >
Rttractive profits on the week's advance. The i
high-priced industrial specialties and the Iron j
and steel stocks were conspicuous in the late
r<- action.
The most notable movement of the day was
the rise In some of the railroads running [
through the South and Southwest. The largo !
earnings shown by monthly returns caused the !
movement. The same motive advanced the i
price of Atchlson preferred and Northern Pa- i
cific. The speculation was mixed during the!
grf-ater part of the day, many of the leading j
Industrials drifting up and down at a level '
either side of last night's price. This was
true of Sugar, Tobacco, Manhattan and the
leather stocks. The last named were reaction- I
Cry parly in the day, but preferred stock came
Into active trading late In the day and gained
2H- Other strong spots were Rubber, General
Electrio, Laclede. Tennessee Coal. Colorado
Fuel and Chicago and Eastern Illinois pre
ferred. New York, Chicago and St. Louis pre
ferred dropped over 3 points on a single tran
saction without exciting any attention. There i
were various points of weakness in the minor
specialties. Stocks of companies having to do
with the metal industry were all Inclined to I
heaviness on account of the reactionary tend- i
ency in the price of the metals. The Iron and j
Etet'l storks were not exempt. Steel and Wire I
dropping an extreme 2%, with only a feeble
rally, Call money flurried to 10 per cent with
the late demand for loans to carry over until
Monday .md was quite firm at 6@7 per cent all !
day. According to statements by the leading
banks the net shipments of currency to the in
terior both by express and by deposits at the
sub-treasury for telegraphic transfer amount
to about 12.500. 000. Aftfr allowing for receipts
of a considerable Mini in gold 7rom the assay
office by the banks their loss to the sub-treas
ury still amounts to upward of $1,000,000. To
morrow's statement It therefore expected to
show a loss in cash of fully $3,500,000. Unless
the loan account of the banks has been'largely
diminished It is evident that the surplus re
eerve. which stood last Saturday at only $1,441,
--075, must have been wiped out and a deficit es
tablished.
The bond market eased off later in the day
In sympathy with stocks, but earlier gains
were not In all cases wiped out. Total sales,

United States bonds were unchanged in bid j

Bradstreet's Financial Review.
NSW YORK. Oct. 27— Rradstreet'a financial
review to-morrow will say:
A fair degree of activity and an enlargement
of public interest In speculation accompanied
a further though irregular rise of prices this
week. This movement was partly based on
the rec very of the London market, which in
the eari.- days of the week discounted the pos
sibility of a speedy ending of the Transvaal
war by a sharp advance, in which American
rails shared the honors with Kaffir mines. The
somewhat easier tone of money also lnfluenc ,1
speculation, and Ci nsi.k-rable relief was shown
when it became apparent that the recent rise
In foreign exchange rates was due largely to
exceptional transactions in securities: that no
gold was likely to be shipped to Lundon, and
that the Hank of England and t!ie London
money market recognized that It would be un
wise to create any extra pressure or disturb
ance in the financial situation here. Freed
from this apprehension, and meeting for some
days nt least with decreased demands fnr the
shipments of currency to the interior, the mar
ket for call loans yielded somewhat, the rates
(juute.l on la.^t Monday being 6 per cent or less.
The Increased activity and the advances in
stock prices on the succeeding days were, how
ever, accompanied by a harder tone in the loan
market, the rntes for money promptly ris
ing to above 6 per cent, and on Friday after
noon touched 10 per cent. This was acccompa
nied. moreover, by continued evidences of dis
crimination against Industrial collateral by the
tanks, the copper stocks in some instances
having it appears, been rejected In hank loans,
which can be readily understood in view of the
weakness of that claps of securities. Yet the
stock market was to all appearances more im
pressed by the talk of a speedy return of
money from the Interior to New York, and It
might be observed that lart'e bids were re
ceived for the $2,800,000 of New York City 3V4
per cent bonds which were offered this week,
the average of the bids being over 107.
The money situation was also influenced by
the favorable_statement of the Bank of England
and further decline of discounts on London.
The interest rates, therefore, did not materially
check the bullish feeling, though the industrial
stocks were held in check by the restrictions
which the last of facilities for carrying them
Impose. At the same time Wall street fully
recognized the Importance, from an industrial
stan. '.point, of the Dladng of contracts for
1,500,000 tons of steel rails at the recent ad
vanced prices, deliverable through the year
190 ft. thus insuring the activity and profitable
character of the steel industry of the T'nlted
a for another twelve months. ThPre has
Dot a little frosh outside buying of sto.k-.
even in the better class of industrials, and
commission houses were more of a factor In
the market. At the same time the upward
movement seemed to depend for pun-haslng
• on covering by the short Interest, sup
plemented by some renewed London buying and
by the bullish manipulation which pools and
large operators carried on in various parts <if
the stock list. '
Bradstreet's on Trade.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.— Bradstreefs to-mor
row will say:
A quieting down of distributive trade, mnre
particularly at retail. Is reported In telegraphed
advices to Bradstroet's this week, growing out
of the unseasonably warm weather now be
ing experienced In most sections of the coun
try. Reflection of this is found In less urgent
orders received by jobbers and In somewhat im
paired collections at many points. As regards
prices, however, thaw is no appreciable loss
of strength, the grent majority of quotations
remaining steady, and among those making
changes advances are still numerous. That
the business condition of the country remains
at an unprecedented volume is testlflod to by
the heavy gains noted In bank clearings over
a year ago and by the Immense increases in
railway earnings over exceptionally good re
turns last October. As regards the current ac
tivity in transportation it may be said that
eastbound traffic from Chicago in the past
month has been more than double that re
ported In the same period a year ago, and
twice as large as that reported In October,
18M, a record period of good trade. The ocean
freights situation is gradually Improving part
ly because high rates are attracting all dis
engaged tonnage and partly because the rhe> k
to foreign buying, ■ particularly of cereals,
caused by the advance in vessel rates, has
exercised a reflex action on the latter mar
ket. Simultaneously with the drop in freight
rates this week, has come a hardening of quo
tations for cereals, partly the result of this
improved foreign buying meeting the late de
cline and partly also because foreign and do
mestic demand for corn has not as yet brought
out the flood of offerings earlier looked for.
Wheat has been sympathetically strong, tm
have other cereals, and wheat flour has been
advanced this week. Coffee is firm, ■ but not
much higher on the week, some speculative
reaction having been noted. Among the leaS
ing products decreasing in price, tin and cop
per among the metals have been most notable,
the latter claimed to be due to production ap
proaching more to a parity with demand.
Cotton is fractionally lower aa the result of
a deadlock between foreign consumers and
American producers. The situation of cotton
goods, one of aggressive strength, is unques
tionably a supporting feature of no small ac
count. The strength of wool is natural. In.
view of the large sales. In woolen goods de
mand Is favorable and further price advances
are predicted. Lumber after slight hesita
tion nt some markets, due to enlarged sup
plies, Is again very firm, as are also hides
and leather, in sympathy with recent advances
In boots and shoes.
The situation of iron and steel Is perhaps
the most notable one yet presented. The feat
ure of the market is the reported booking by
the steel rail mitts of the country of nearly 75
per cent of their capacity for next year's de
livery. In all 1.500,000 tons of rails are re
ported to have been booked for delivery next
year, and there is In addition, considerable
unfinished business' on 1899 account, which it
Is claimed will still further enlarge the volume
of business handled next year. Heavy buying
of pig Iron, to cover some of the rail sales,
is reported In the Central West at prices little
below those ruling for some time past. In all
lines of business demand Is still very heavy,
demand for steel for cars, of plates for ship
building and for wire being additional signs
of Ftrength Demand fir hcrtlware is active
at nenrly all markets. The scarcity of sup
plies noted last week is still a feature and
jobbers nre still push»,l for prompt shipments.
Br.rbed wire, nails and hand implements tend
higher at some Eastern markets. Complaint
that present high prices are injuring our ex
port trade Is also heard.
Wheat, including fi.iur shipments for the
week aggregate 6.416.1 PS bushels, against 4,160.
--618 bushels last week. 5.660,991 bushels in the
corresponding week of IS9R 5.811,391 hushels in
1897. 3.625.0C0 bushels in 1896 and 2.713,014 bush
els In 1595. Since July 1 this season, the ex
ports of wheat aggregate 69,r.42.1C0 bushels,
ngalnst 67,071.880 bushels last year and 78.283,
--654 bushels in 1897-98.
Business failures for the week are 211 as
compared with 221 last week. 2V.1 In this week
a year ago, 218 In 1897, 246 In 1856 and 299 in
1595. Canadian failures for the week number
21, as compared with 20 last week. 23 in 1838.
29 In IS?7. 87 In 1596 and 48 In 1895.
Dun's Review of Trade.
NKW .YORK, Oct. 27.— R. G. Dunn & Co.'s
weekly, review of trade to-morrow will say
Fears and not facts made a war In South
Africa seem a menace to property here and a
week of conflict has cleared away the fear.
British markets for securities have been helped
by the belief that mining shares would be
worth more with no Boer contrul In mining re
gions.
Large purchases here of ammunition and
meats have swelled the balance due this coun
try. Honey markets hay grown less embar
rassing:, . stocks have gradually advanced, in
dustries are still supported by a volume of de
mand for which no precedent can be found
and payments through the principal clearing
houses for the past week have been 36.6 per
cent larger than last year and 57.3 per cent
larger than In 1892. So great an increase shows
the net business of many potent forces making
fur public prosperity.
The heaviest transactions in steel rails ever
made so early cover 1.500,000 tons for next year's
delivery, or two-thirds of the entire capacity
of the works.
The Pennsylvania is said to have taken 105,
--000 tons at '$33, but all the leading railroads ;
made large purchases and the price was then |
advanced to $35 per ton, the same works hay- !
Ing delivered during Ihe past year at $18 to |
$19. Great contracts for material follow, one j
concern having bought 100, 000 tons Bessemer i
pig at Pittsburg for $23, while 524 50 Is paid for
early deliveries, and 50, W0 tons billets were sold 1
to one concern there and 3n,000 at Wheeling, j
$T>S 50 being quoted, with slabs at $39 50 and ;
sheet bars at $36. Such transactions only sh.w
the general belief that such prices will run far
JntO next year. For structural work many !
orders appear, Including some of consequence j
for the East and for Cuba, and In bars the car |
and implement den and makes the Chicago mar- j
ket very strong, but at Pittsburg works a:ix?aty '
for future contracts has depressed the price to
?2 15, and in plate s.-.me works have nearly
caught up with contracts and are accepting
$2 75. Shots are also weaker, $3 05 bring quoted
at Pittsburg, as the proposed combination
seems to have failed.
Markets for minor metals are reacting, tin
having fallen to $30 62, with recovery to $31 25
on Dutch sales in October, 400 tons larger than j
usual, and lake copper Is largely offered, at '
$17 37. Lead Is a shade lower at $4 67% and
spelter Is demoralized and offered at $5. Coke
holds strong, shortness of cars hindering de- i
liveries, though more ovens than ever before are \
producing.
Wheat remains practically unchanged, while i
Atlantic experts, flour included, have been 12.
-532.841 bushels In four weeks, aeainpt 13,483,056
last yf-ar, and Pacific exports 2,197.771, against '
8,124,806 last year. Western receipts fall short
and in four weeks have been only 30,022,530 ,
bushels, against 40.150.fi09 last year.
Without concert there is probably some wait-
Ing for better prices by farmers.
Pallures l.ir the week are 190 in the United
States, against 226 last year, and 23 In Canada,
against 34 last year.

Chicago Grain Market.
' HK'AGO, Oct. 27. — Wheat opened weak and
alter a feeble effort to cover showed a de
clining tendency for the remainder of the ses
sion. Nearly everything combined to create a
bearish sentiment. Argentine shipments for
the week were unusunlly large, amounting to
1.072.0W bushels. Crop conditions in that coun
try were reported promising, the scarcity of
ocean vessels alone preventing enormous ex
ports. Such evidence of the undiminlshed ship
ping capacity of the South American republic,
coupled with a steady increase in the do
mestic visible supply, • disheartened holders of
long Wheat, who unloaded freely. There was
Kin oonaiderable selling for the short account,
and as the demand was sluggish the market
sagged steadily until near the ond, when cov
ering startod an upturn. The improvement
was only temporary, however, as liquidation on
a heavy scale followed and the market closed
weak within a fraction of the bottom of the
day's range. A slack cash demand and ra
porte of the excellent condition of the winter
Wheat as a result of the recent heavy rains,
stimulated the selling movement. December
opened %<SV*c lower at 70%@70%c, touched 70%
@70%e, declined to 70V.C and advanced to 70% c
and declined to 70% cat the close.
Corn was strong and active early, but event
ually weakened under liquidation, encouraged
by an estimate by an authoritative statistician
that "the total yield would amount to '2,200,000,
--000 bushels instead of 2,000,000,000 as predicted
by the Government bureau. A disappointing
poor cash demand was also against the mar
ket, but country buying owing to wet weather
and moderate receipts prevented any important
break. December closed with buyers at 31%e.

Hay and Feedstitffs.
Bran Is weaker, under receipts of 9000 gks
from Oregon, but prices are no lower.
Wet Hay continues to depress the market.
and dry Hay commands a premium. Dealers
are breaking into country warehouses in order
to get dry stock, ami this adds $1 50 per ton to
the price. In other words, when the wet Hay
gets cleaned out of the market sellers will have
to advance prices $1 60 per ton to get out even
on their holdings.
