Canadian failures number 30, as against 29

Failures in the United States for the week
number 1?3, as against 175 last week, 210 in
this week a year ago, 164 in 1899 and 233 in
1898.
The boot, shoe. leather and kindred Indus
tries were all active and Eastern- shoe ship
ments are 14 per cent larger for the week and
12 per cent larger for the season than a year
ago. The strength of hides and the recent ad
vance in leather, however, is still further nar
rowing the margin of profit, in shoe manufac
turing.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the week
aggregate 4,719,898 bushels, as against 6,195,749
last week, and 4,292,855 in this week last year.
Wheat exports, July 1 to date (fourteen weeks),
aggregate 89,568,178 bushels, as against 50,458,240
last season.
Among cereal products ' the feature is the
active demand for: flour at higher prices.
Wheat is a fraction higher on the week, on a
belief that following the recent decline caused
by the heavily increased movement at the
Northwest and the gain in visible supply reac
tion -is due. • .. , ... .1 . • .
Hardware is active at nearly all markets
and supplies are generally limited. Some
weakness in nails is noticed at the Kast, not
withstanding active demand, but at the West
\u25a0wire mills are behind on orders. Special activ
ity in lead and zinc Is noted at Western pri
mary points. Copper is in hand-to-mouth de
mand here, but it is to be noted that spot
prices have advanced at London. Tin is higher
here in' sympathy with the speculative' advance
at the. same market. „ . •
. Iron and steel continue in active demand,
particularly for the cruder forms, such as pig,
and for finished . products affected by the re
cent strike.
The great mass of prices the country over
show few important changes, and this steadi
ness, In fact, is a notable feature of the trade
situation. The feature in sugar is ,the partial
restoration of the large reduction made in re
fined sugar at the West last week. Instead of
the 3%c quotation Of last week 4%c is now
asked, the large orders received at- the' lower
price making It certain that the full reduction
was an extreme one . .
NEW TORK. Oct. 11.— Bradstreet's to-mor
row -will say:
Some quieting down in the general demand
for merchandise is noted this week, partly the
result of weather conditions, such as r.ains in
the Northwest and warmer weather at the
West, while at the South the restricted move
ment of cotton delayed collections at several
markets. The lull in the demand for dry
goods, clothing and shoes from Western jab
bers is. however, not unexpected, being ac
counted for by the advanced ' stage of the sea
son. .A slight upward swing in prices is noted
this week, following the general gain in all
staples down in" September, but the changes
in cereals are small, whether upward or down
ward.

\u25a0 NEW TORK. Oct. tL— Great speculative ac
tivity continued in the stock market to-day,
tut It was centered to a large extent in trans
continental Etocks, led by St. Paul, which rose
£% points over last night in the late dealings,
and closed 1 point below the btst. The ap
pearance of the market suggested the days of
last spring, dear to the memory of tie pro
fessional speculator, when the absorption of a
\u25a0new railroad system or a new transcontinental
combination iras rumored each successive day
end wifflj accepted in the credulous mood of
the speculative world. The activity of to-day's
market was largely dn« to the crop of rumors
revived by yesterday* 6 various reports of the
proposed plan for consolidating the control of
JCerthem Pacific, Great Northern and Burling
ton in one proprietary company. As a matter
of fact, the official disclaimers this morning
of the accuracy of the published reports and
the prompt relapse in the prices of Great
:N'orthern preferred and Northern Pacific pre
ferred had a somewhat chilling effect on the
epeculative sentiment. The general accord of
the current rumors in allowing that the stock
of Northern Pacific Itself was not yet provided
ior in the plan, the alleged provision for the
retirement of Northern Pacific preferred
through which the control by the Harriman
liuereets is cxerttd and the assertion by ret>
reseritttives of Karriman interests that that
syndicate was not a participant In the plan.
fcecmed to open up a vista, of renewed conten
tions. As the day progressed there was a re
vival of old rumors that Union Pacific was to
acquire St. Paul in exchange for new bonds.
In the presence of these pleasant old associa
tions speculative «nthuelaem seemed to take
flre. The buying of St. Paul was quite !n the
old prodigal fashion of outlay, and Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and Atchison were con
jpicuous followers. The extreme advance in

Chicago was dull and featureless, and'sym
pathized with the heavy selling of Corn. The
market was also influenced by rumors of con
siderable cash business impending, which sent
tho shorts to cover. The buying became very
good. The exports from the different ports
for the week, according to Bradstreet's, were
4,728,000 bushels. Minneapolis stocks will in

CHICAGO, Oct.. It-Considerable activity fol
lowed the opening of the corn market, induced
largely by the disappointment among the bear
clique, which expected a decided advance In
the olHcial crop report. At the close yesterday
this advance was predicted at at least five
points, and bears had sold freely in conse
quence. When, however, October's condition
wa% reported at but 52.1, as compared with Sep
tember's at 51.7, quick covering was the re
sult. December closed firm, %c higher, at 56%c.
Wheat ruled fairly active and higher, De
cember opening- %@%c higher on improved
cables at 69Vi@69%c. Statistics. If anything,
were bearish. Receipts were still very liberal,
though falling off somewhat in the Southwest.
Clearances were small and the export demand
was sluggish. In spite of these influences
wheat gained material strength, principally
from the corn report, and rose steadily through
out the session on -covering by shdrts. There
was some outside demand, which helped, and
December sold to 70V»c, easing off a trifle at
the end and closing strong, %c higher, at 70c.
Oats were moderately active early, but dull
and narrow later in the day. December closed
a shade lower at 35Vi@35%c.
An easy market in provisions at the opening
resulted from a renewed selling for the local
and outside accounts. Prices sagged rapidly
for a time in spite of a stronc hog market,
but on a development of a considerable local
demand, thought to be an effort of packers to
keep prices up, January products reacted and
held steady. January pork closed 12%o ad
vanced, lard 7%c up and ribs 5c higher.

Everything on the list is quoted dull. There
seems to be a cessation of the demand at the
moment, though a reaction is expected to ap
pear at any time. Brokers say that even con
cessions fail to induce buyers to take hold.
The fact is the buying was so furious a month
or so ago that everybody got loaded up and
will not resume buying until stocks need re
plenishing. •

change in Cheese.'

London Market.
NEW YORK. Oct. 11.— The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram says:
The tone of the stock market was distinctly
Improved to-day, and there was much more ac
tivity, especially in the American department,
jj Copper shares spurted with Amalgamated
Co1>per, Rio Tlntos 1% and Anacondas 1%.
American stocks opened with London a free
buyer, expecting handsome profits, but New
Tork etolidlty made London sulk, although the
reaction was unimportant. The coal stocks
were the favorites in the expectation of a re
vival of the combination. Erie was In particu
lar demand. London.' observing that New Tork
is all the time absorbing, talks of. a resump
tion of the bull movement, and the activity of
the Morgan, Hill and Harriman interest en
courages buyers. - V-i™

California Fruit Sales.
Failures for the week numbered 231 in the
United States against 232 last year and 34 in
Canada, against 32 iast year.
Wholesome activity is still the feature at iron
furnaces and steel mills. While old orders are
tilled efs rapidly as possible, there Is no imme
diate prospect of catching up with contracts,
especially as each day brings new business with
delive rles running far into next year.
l J igiron production on October 1, according to
the- Iron Age, was at the rate of 307,982- tons
weekly, an increase of S112 tons over the output
on September 1 and 84,813 tons more than in
October, 1800. Yet furnace stock steadily de
creased, amounting only to 361,593 tons October
1, against 670,541 a year ago and supplies In
consumers hands are believed to be light. Foot
wear shops are still producing at. full capacity,
not only in the old-established New England
factories, but In this State and in the West and
houth; prices are unchanged also, although
manufacturers contemplate the advancing of
the leather market with some Increasing inter
est. Hides and leather are at the top price of
the year, while the finished product sells below
the prices of early spring. \u25a0 \u25a0
Quiet conditions prevail in the dry goods mar
w ' not because of light demand, but through
the strong views of sellers, which prevent ex-
POrt sales as TreU as domestic business.
•silently better relative prices have been es
tablished by the leading cereals, wheat making
a fair gain, while corn lost a little of its ex
ceptional strength.- There is no evidence of
holding back for higher prices in Western re
ceipts for two weeks of 15.83S.426 bushels,
against 12,918,3S3 last year, when more attrac
tive quotations prevailed. . Export3 from the
United States are not equal to the recent rec
ord-breaking figures, but" still compare fairly
well with earlier years. For the week, flour
included, shipments reached 4.188,328 bushels,
a sainst 3,583.438 a year ago. and 4,329,829 for
toms. labor is well employed at good wages and
the- buying power of the people is more than
sufficient to meet the advance In the cost of
living of 4.6 per cent over the price prevailing a
year a^o..
