1 Discouraging Day for Speculators, Caused by the Depression in Stocks. Vheat Saj;3 All jlorninp;, bat Reacts Slightly in the Afternoon Corn in Fair Demand Oats Dull Provisions Weak and Lower. MONEY, BONDS AND STOCKS. In Active bat Weak- Market, Almost All Stocks Selling at Lower Figures. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Money on call -was easy at 435 per cent., the last loan being made at 5 per cent., and closing offered at 5 percent. Prime mercantile paper, 6a9 per cent. Sterling exchange was active and firm at t!8lj for sixty-day bills, and $4.85i for demand. The total sales of stocks to day were 503,603 shares, including the following: Canada Southern, 4,920; Delaware. Lackawanna & Western, 37,920; Erie, 24,830; Kansas & Texas, 4,215; Lake Shore, 35.400; Louisville & Nashville, 11,750; Missouri Pacific, 8,220; Northwestern, 23,235; New Jersey Central, 4,300; New York Central, 9,300; Northern Pacific preferred; 3,210; Oregon Transcontinental, 9.000; Reading, 145,020; St. Paul, 60.172; St. Paul & Omaha, 5.510; Texas Pacific, 3.000; Union Pacific, 12,620; Western Union, 31.660. The stock market to-day was very active bat weak in the forenoon, and though a material rally occurred in the afternoon it was not enough to wipe out the losses made. The "bears" tnal e free use of an interview with Mr. Dopew. published in the morning papers, and succeeded in frightening holders to such an extent that prices were forced down from 1 to 2 per cent. There l grave doubt in, Wall street that Mr. Depew spoke precisely an be is reported to have done, and the denials put out later go far to make this a certainty. 'But all kinds of statements were made in regard to it, tbe "bears' going so far as to allege that Mr. Gould and the Vanderbilts were behind the bear" movement The Vanderbilts and Western Union were the heaviest sufferers in tbe decline, a special drive being made against them in the early dealings. Reading was again well supported, a large amount of it changed bands, and it berarae known at the close of business that tbe reorganization was completed; the opposition bonds were deposited before this was done, and tbe new securities will be issued by Dec. 31, or before, if possible. Tbe grangers were also prominently weak, with exception of Manitoba, but the movement in the remainder were of comparatively little importance. . The "short" interest is believed to be immense and some stocks are becoming very scarce for delivery on account of the large amounts which have been paid for and taken out of the street. The opening was active but decidedly weak, and further declines were made in the early trading, which was also feverish and .irrregular. Western Union and St. Paul were the leaders in the downward movement, while Reading was moot conspicuous in the rallies which occurred. The Vanderbilts also steadily lost ground, bat their fluctuations were not so violent. The decline met with no serious check until near 2 o'clock, when from i to 1 per cent, was gained, but the selling was renewed in the last hour, and the close was active and weak at close to the lowest prices of the day. Almost everything is lower, tA only exceptions being Manitoba, with agaiii of , and Oregon Navigation 1. Omaha lost 3; New York Central, 2; Lake Shore. 2J; Northwestern. 2; Missouri Pacific and Western Union. 2 each; Northern Pacific preferred, li: Erie, Louisville & Nashville, Norfolk & Western preferred, and Lackawauna, If each; St Paul and Colorado Coal, 1J each; Union Pacific, Reading, Richmond & West Point, and Jersey Central, li each. The projected extension of the Weeeling & Lake Erie bus been abandoned, and there will be no new issue of stocks, the policy of the management being to begin the payment of quarterly dividends of 1 per cent Railroad bonds, with the exception of Erie seconds, which contribute $266,000. and Texas Pacific Rio trust receipts, with $110,000 to the days total, were dull and heavy to weak. Houston & Texas general certificates lost 2, at 56; Iron Mountain seconds, 2, at 110; Shenandoah Valley general sixes, 3, at 34;Toledo, Ann Arbor & Grand Trunk firsts, 2. at 102. Government bonds were dull but firm for the fours. State bonds were dull and firm. Closing quotations were: Four per cent. bonds. 1 25 Sg Mar. & Cin. 1st, pref .... x on r and a ball per et.

The wheat market opened at about yesterday's clos ing prices. 70c for November, 72c for December, 772 3773c for May. There was a continuous sagging ail the morning, and during tbe last ball hour, when certain local traders, disap pointed in their expectations of a profit on earlier purchases and apparently worried by t:! weas ness in the stock market, attempted to get out. prices fell away nntil a decline from opening prices of 2c in the November delivery, 4s in De cember, and 3c in May was scored. The market at 1 p. m. was weak at the lowest point of the session November, 0gc; December, 711-c, and May. 77 c. In tbe afternoon there was a reaction, December closing finally at 72 372o, and May at 77Jc Corn showed some short lived activity and strength at the opening, on account of the light receipts, 3i0 cars, being sixty cars less than were expected, and the liberal movement oat ward, tbe inspection-sheet showing 352.000 bu of corn inspected out of store, and ship ments of 294,000 bu being reported from Chi cago. There was also a fair demand for cash property early; opening prices were the highest of the session, however, except for the May delivery, which advanced ic. lhen the de mand for cash corn fell off on account of the scarcity of vessel room here and the refusal of tbe Grand Trunk road to accept any more corn for lake and rail shipment on account of lack of cars, and the market sagged. The loss on the day was $3 c in November, i3 Jc in December, and ic in May. There was not a large volume of business, the greater part of the celling being done by Hutchinson's brokers. The close was at fractional advance from the lowest point, at 411c asked for November, iOg 341c for December, and 442 c for May. Oats were dull all around. Speculative orders were light, and there was less than tbe usual shipping demand for cash oats. A weak feeling prevailed for everything but October delivery, which ruled steady, while other futures declined, and at 1 p. m. were about lo lower. In the afternoon it of this was recovered, November closing at 25jrC, and May 29 jo. Provisions were weaker, and prices a shade lower. Receipts of hogs were larger, and light hogs higher. Trading in products was moderate, and chiefly lecal, and the fluctuations narrow. January pork received fair attention, and sold at $12. 25 3 12. 30. and closed at $12.25. Cash lard was firm with a good shipping demand at 6.40c. October was .021c lower, and sold at G.27J 36.30c; January sold at 6.30 3 6.35c.

Large Increase In Circulating Medium Fails to Improve Prices. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, say: In spite of many favorable conditions noted last week prices do not advance. Tbe Treasury added about $33,000,000 to the circulation in September, and has added about $4,000,000 since, and the B. & O. bargain has been ratified, and the Reading reorganization insured; yet prices of stocks fell on Wednesday to an average of $58.77 per share, tbe lowest since April and May, 18S6, and, excepting a few weeks then, the lowest for two years. Wheat has lost every advance since Sept 26; corn for a fortnight past, and oats for a month past, bave occasionally risen, only to recede again; cotton has declined I of a cent during tbe month. and pork $1 per barrel. Oil ia higher, but the transactions are insignificant Coal is stronger because of a strike, but iron and steel are lower. The elaborate statements of exchanges for the past year and a quarter only conceal the fact that of late exchanges have been falling be hind those of last year, first' at New York, and then at other chief cities and New England manufacturing towns.. In short the theory that "more money" insures prosperity comes to grief again. More than $107,000,000 bave been added to the circulation within the past fourteen months, but the speculation thus stimulated has wrought much harm already, and clouded the future with doubt While great activity and expansion are witnessed in some branches of business, others exhibit symptoms of reaction. Steel rails are again lower; sales were made last week for $34, spring delivery, and some makers are urging general stoppage of works. Pig-iron, No. 1 foundry, -continues scarce because of the Lehigh coal strike, but lower quotations come for grey forge, and also for bar-iron. Encouraging statements of exports in September show that of breadstnffs. cotton, provisions, oil and cattle the valae was 9 per cent greater than in 1886; a large decrease appears in wheat, but a noteworthy increase in flour: of cattle and pork, exports decreased one-half, and there is some loss in butter, cheese and oil, but a gain of $6,640,000 in exports of cotton. This month's exports from New York show a gain of 2 per cent, against an increase of 10 per cent in imports. Exchange bas advanced this week, because of large sales of stocks on foreign account, and tbe controlling question in the money market now is whether the passing of a dividend by the Baltimore & Ohio, and other events, will so discourage foreign holders of neenreties as to cause extensive selling: $1,100,000 more gold arrived on Thursday. Interior reports are uniformly more favorable; though tight money and slow collections are till reported from some points, the pressure is iu most cases less severe and collections rather better. In Texas, where the cotton yield is said to be 10 per cent below last year's, failures are more numerous and many traders are asking indulgence. But east of the Mississippi money is generally easier at tbe South, and the partial failure of crops is, as yet, hardly recognized as a cause of disturbance in the Northwest. If the actual losses of farmers are as large as the October bureau report would indicate, however, some shrinkage in the voiume of business must result The dry goods trade, though rather less active, has been fairly satisfactory in volume, with prices well maintained, though print cloths are a ehade lower. The shrinkage in wool manufactures appears in reported sales of wool at Boston, which were 21,000,000 pounds for three months ending Oct 1, against 58,000.000 pounds for the same month last year, but supplies on hand at the beginning of the period may explain part of the decrease. Tbe boot and shoe business is active and healthy, and lb leather market at last improves. In some localities at the West, where real estate speculation began early last fall, mortgages begin to ripen, and prices are no longer maintained, while bankers decline loans on real estate security. But the building of railroads and new towns and manufacturing centres still continues. The business failures in the last seven days number, for the United States, 182, and for

Canada, 20, or a total of 202, compared with 212

last wetik, and 19 for tbe corresponding wsei in 1886. . . TRADE IN GENERAL. Quotations at St Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Other Points. ST. LOUIS. Oct 14.

In all departments there was a good deal of activity to-day. In the main prices are steady and firm; especially is this true of dry . goods. groceries and provisions. The dry goods men seldom are busier than at the present time and their sales as for some weeks past, are running far ahead of former years, every dry goods house sharing in in this favorable report Grocers are busy. There have been weeks in which they have done more than in the last bat they are few and far between. Coffees and sugars maintain their firm position and the distribution is large for tbe season. Other staple articles are in good request, salt fish especially. Mack erel are in light supply and higher prices threat ened. Produce men are doing a good business and making some money. Eggs are hardly as firm as a week ago. Poultry is steady at tbe current reductions. Butter is plenty and cneap, unless it be a superior article. Irish potatoes are in good supply; prices a shade stronger. It is becoming quite apparent, says the New York I'rodnce Exchange, that the great shortage in the pototo crop here and ia Earope is of far more importance than is generally supposed; careful investigation here and in Europe shown the deficiency to be equivalent to 33,000.000 busnels of wheat. A loss in tbe food supplies of the world of so much magnitude as this should not be treated with indifference, its im portance, coming at this time, when so large a number of the working classes in Europe are out of employment, is certainly very unfortunate, because it is emphatically the poor man's food"; consequently he will be compelled to nse hieher-priced ;ood, thus greatly adding to the cost of living, xhe absence of our usual supplies of this popular rood will be felt by all, but not severely until after the close of navigation, and ere mid-winter the shortage will be fully realized. Druggists are having a brisk trade, prices unchanged. Iron dealers re port trade as improvine and prices steady. The hardware men are looking for a slight falling off in trade but it has not yet become perceptible. Usually as the fall months come on they ex perience a gradual letting down until the winter volume is touched. Leather dealers are doing a good business at unchanged prices although there is a decidedly firmer market East Hide men are blue, tbe market fails to rally on an in creased activity. GRAIX. The local wheat market is in a strong position on light receipts and a brisk milling demand. There are those who think wheat is in the near future to be good property. Corn is heavy; everybody seems to have all they want, the new crop so soon to come on to the market. Oats are in fair demand, but prices are hardly as firm as ten days ago.
