NEW YORK, Sept 9.— R. O. Dun & Co.'s

: a month ago. and Indicate a con
suraptlon of 3,083.939 bales in this country
against 2,893.462 bales in the largest S^oi
year. The Increase of 14 per cent in Southern
imption during the past three years
with a decrease of nearly IU per cent in
Northern mills Is significant
"Nobody can guess how great the demand
[or Hen and stel products may be a month
hence, but the manufacturer has the patience
to wait for actual demands before hoisting
prii es. So far the advance has been re
markably moderate In the average 0° all
finished products, only ...a ncr cent fi_, u the
I price tills year, while pi g i ron has
risen lc_s than 3 per cent. Orders this week
included 10.000 tons rail, Chicago; 5 (Kio tons
pipe, Pittsburg, with 10,000 to 21,000 tons
coming at Philadelphia; 10, .0 tons plate
for a Baltimore ship yard, and heavy orders
for bars, rods, and especially sheets at all
markets.
"The sales of wool have been only 2 2^9 500
pounds at the three chief markets, "a .iiri^t
18,010,400 pounds for the same week last
year, and .812,000 for the same wepk ln 1892
The feeling grows that the price demanded
at the West cannot be maintained and until
wool sells at materially lower prices the
manufacturer cannot meet the existing mar
ket for goods. Prices for goods do n.it
change, and a number of mills will shortly
shut down unless the situation improves, 'n
the cotton market there Is still a lairly
strong demand, the print cloths nnd staple
goods unchanged in price, but the stoppage
of some Rasters mills continues.
"Failures for tbe week have beeu 194 in
the United States, against 210 last year, and
16 in Canada, against 35 last year."

review will say tomorrow:
"Speculation has again been irregular for
the week just ended, and professional in

with the recent activity of the outside pub
lic. The rise in the money market has creat
ed ccutton, although the feeling is that gold
imports, or acton by the government to

vent any stringency. The sharp df dine of
sterling exchange Is in l*.;p with this view
as regards gold imports and engagements
of specie for American aeoeunt have been
announced in London to tne amount of less

Of *.'_>ld In this direction.

developments in the general situation, apart

CHICAGO, Bept. 9.— The strength of cash
wheat in the Northwest today, in addition t_>
a reported shortage of the Russian crop,
caused a sharp rally In wheaf values here.
September closed 1>4.51%c high r. and De
cember gained 1 _o. Corn rore oats _. ;
provisions ruled weak. Pork left eff 2V_c
down, lard 10c, and ribs 7 _- ,)l ..
Wheat s-arted strong pnd forced its wiy
up in the course of the Brst hour,, trading to
lc above yesterday's close. The Liverpool
market opened from %d to _d higher, and
increased again to from to Id six n after
business started here. Thar cau ed a gen ral
rush cf shorts to cover, with s> 11 Ue wheat
for sale that competition was sharp and bid*
were gradually advanced. Chi ago received
!■' .ars against 269 last year. The arrivals
at Minneapolis and Duluth were 844 < ar
loads, compared with 196 a ye:.r ago. Atlantic
port clearances were again heavy, and that
drew attention once more to the execs i\\>
proportion of European requirements t! at
continued to be supplied from this side. Per
haps the greatest s'lrr.uius to the buying
that advanced prices of wheat here arose
from the great strength of the cash wheat
markets in the Northwest during the first
ha!f of the cession. Liverpool showed ad
vances at the close of from lVsd to l_d, and it
was thought the strength there was in great
part owing to further confi: m lti DH of Rus
sian crop damage and desire of Russian ex
porters to cancel sales they had made for
September shipment, as reported h re yester
day. The market here wa« more a 'tive and
broader than for some time back. Ti.e gov
ernment crop report, which Is due tomorrow,
had some influence on the bu'l side, eont-ary
to experience of tta usual effect The mar
ket ruled strong right up to the tr>p of the
bell, and closed near the highest point of the
session. September ep.'ned _.®%c higher at
82% c, advanced gradually to C4c, and closed
at 63% c sellers'. December started %_f_e
up at 61 _,<_ _V4c, sold up to 62 I_c,1 _c, and ciosed
at 62e buyers'.
Low temperatures, together with predic
tions of frost tonight strengthened eo-n. Th?
crowd had gone short last night, and conse
quently, when they found themselves con
fronted by a decidedly bulli-h wheat rn-rket
today, they became alarmed. A scramble to
cover ensued, and competition easily fo ced
an advance. A report that the government
crop report tomorrow wouid drop the corn
condition six points was also an Influence.
The market ruled strong throughout the en
tire session, and closed within a fraction cf
the high point for the day. December be
gan l 4 _"%c up at £01/4@30O 1 /4@30 : _c, advanced to
30"_c, and closed at 30 _c buyers'.
Oats were firm nnd higher, in sympath.'
with other grains. There wns a fair amount
of business done, with heavy covering by
shorts. May opened unchanged to %C up a:
21*4(5 21 ..e, and advanced to _:2i_c.
Provisions opened fairly sf ady, hut tur:el
weak on heavy selling by prominent packing
houses. There was also considerable real z
ing by traders who had bought lower down
on the decline. Very gocd buying, bowev* r,
sprang up on the break, and the market c"O3
-ed fairly steady, with part of the loss recov
ered. December pork opened 5e lower at
$8.56, declined to $..45, then relied to ?8.77 7,
the close. December lard started unchanged
at $4.50, weakened to $4.90, ard Armed up to
$4.95 at the close. Octob.r lib? b^gan un

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-There was further
drastic liquidation In the stock ma.Ket today
at an expense to prices of stocks of between
$1 and $2 per share In a great many cases.
Dlßapointment over the fixing of the St. Paul
dividend at only 2% continued the prevailing
influence, and uo attention was paid to the
favorable developments or to the Indications
of an eaßier condition ln money. The selling
was evidently ln the nature of speculative
profit-taking, and came from an element that
has persisted in the confidence that prices
were certain of a further advance. A grtat
part of this confidence has been based on
the supposition that the St. Paul dividend
would be Increased and would awaken gen
eral activity and widespread outside Interest,
as was the case wilh the Increase in the Bur
lington dividend. There was a short-lived
period of firmness to prices early ln the day
on a demand to cover some of the shorts put
out yesterday. This movement was encour
aged by the failure of the London market to
reflect any violent depression on account of
the St. Paul dividend, but the advance In
prices was met by continued heavy offerings,
and by noon the movement to throw over
stock was In full force again, and prices were
tumbling throughout the list. Early gains
in a few special cases were almost completely
wiped out. Among those stocks which have
recently been subject to attack on account of
individual causes of weakness there was a
noticeable hesitancy on the part of the bears
about putting out short lines. Manhattan
and Brooklyn Transit were conspicuous ex
;»ples. It was, ln fact, evident that fresh
commitments either on the short or
the long sides were not ln order, and
the activity of the market was almost en
tirely liquidation, pure and simple, due to the
hardness of the money market.
There was also some disposition to apply
the ultra-conservative standard adopted by
the St. Paul directors to some other properties
which have made more liberal disburse
ments of expanded earnings, and to question
somewhat the integrity of the dividends thus
esatbllshed.
The distinctly easier tone of money in
the afternoon brought recovery in prices
aside from that due to covering by the ro.m
traders. How far the easier tone in money
ls due to the increase in new government
bonds available as security to release cash
from the treasury and how fr to the contrc
tion of loans Incident to the weak market
liquidation Itself is not clear.
The reduction of the call loan rate to 2%
per cent resulted in the steadying of foreign
exchange and advance ln the London money
rate. Banks continue to lose cash very heav
ily to the subtresury, and the shipments of
currency to the Interior show a large Increase
over those of last week.
The bond market showed the affects of
liquidation, though to a less degree than ln
stocks. Total sales, $4,000,000. United States
2s advanced y_ and the new 4s _, while the
3s, when issued declined % in the bid price.
There were large dealings ln the 3s at from
105% down to 105 _ at the close.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL-New York, S-.pt. 9.
—The Evening Post's London flnanci'il cable
gram says: T 'Except for Kaffirs and West
Australian mining shares which are booming
the stock markets here were quiet and gener
ally dull today. The leading stocks were
somewhat depressed by Cretan . ffairs. Amer
icans were flat on the St. Paul dividend, clos
ing near the lowest It i. generally believed
here that the St. Paul company could have
paid a much higher dividend and the policy
of a large carry-forward ls regarded as a
not too hopeful omen for the future. The
London discount rate Is 1 5-16<ft. _ per cent,
and decidedly firm on New York gold demand.
It is reported that gold is to go to New York
direct from Japan in addition to other ship
ments from Europe, but I cannot confirm
this."
