THE BEARS SQUEEZED Lackawanna Shares Manipulated for a 10 Per Cent. Advance. Monotony of Business on 'Cliane Kclievcd by a Little Sensation Indianapolis Grain More Active. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easy at V.d-Yz per cent., the last loan being at 2, closing offered at 2. Trime mercantile paper, 7&0 per cent Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business In bankers' Mils at $i.S.V5? 4.83i for demand, and at HKUfZ.u for Bixty-day bills. Posted rates, $i.S431.SS; commercial bills, .8l?tf I.S2. Silver certificates, 7371ic Saks silver certificates, 2.000 ounces. Bar silver closed at 73c per ounce; at London, 33"sd. The sales of shares amounted to 102,300. Were it not for a squeeze in Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and a break In Cordage the speculation on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday would have been without marked feature. The general list was sluggish to a degree, the sales in no single instance reaching twenty thousand shares, and In only four cases exceeding ten thousand. The little deal In Lackawanna was in the nature of a surprise to the street. A decline of Yz per cent, was recorded in the morning, which was quickly recovered, and then the Mock jumped 2 per cent, on one sale of a hundred share, to 149, and then shot upward with pyrotechnic rapidity to 137. a 10 per cent, advance on Thursday's closing ligures. Th?n came a gradual decline to i;iA with a recovery to 14, and a reaction at the close to 153H. an Improvement on the day of 64 per cent. Lackawanna is not a very sa4e stock for operators on the bear side. It Is held closely by insiders, who keep account of the short interest, so as to be in a position to put the screws on any unfortunate bear who may be put In a corner. As the story goes, the shorts had borrowed some twenty thousand shares and the upward movement was Inaugurated to compel them to cover. It is said, however, that so far as bringing the bears to cover is concerned the move was not an unqualiiied success, as the transactions in the stock did not reach H.OjO shares. Cordage was sold on the announcement that the receivers report, already long delayed, would not be given out until after It had been passed on by Vice Chancellor McGlll. and also on a rumor that the reorganiration committee and the receiver had come to a disagreement. A decline of 2'U was effected before a halt was called. The general market was iirm and a fraction higher at the opening, but buyers were wanting to sustain the list, and a period of depression set In. Firmness was the prevailing tone during the afternoon and at the close. Irregularity, most marked, characterized the dealings in the bond market, which, during the morning, was more active than the share speculation. The Issues which advanced I per cent, or over are: L..

On the wholesale streets, yesterday, trade was hardly up to the preceding days of the week and it is quite apparent that a few good sharp frosts are what is needed to give snap to business generally. In prices there were few changes. The looked for advance in both coffees and sugars has not yet materialized, but both staples are very firm and sugars scarce. In the produce line there Is ?orae activity. Apples, lemons, in fact, all fruits are firm and meeting with fair cal?. In vegetables, while prices haver not materially changed, there is a weaker tone on Increasing receipts. Poultry and )rovisions are in strong 'position and movng freely. The hide market presents no new features. The local grain market is fairly active. In wheat but littles doing.

I have, during the last twelve years, fed wheat to hogs and sheep and have found it more profitable than to sell the wheat. I have never fed wheat to hogs when the selling price of the hogs was less than 5 cents per pound, and have fed the wheat unground and dry to them. I once finished oft feadlng hogs In August, when the price was $3.25 per cwt. and the wheat fed

brought $1.35 per bushel. Another time, feeding a longer period, and selling at 5 cents per pound, this in winter, alternating wheat and corn, the wheat brought 80 cent3 and the corn 50 cents, or an average for both of C3 cents. Pigs of four to six months of age Improve rapidly on wheat feed. Lambs when weaned fed on ground wheat, not too finely giound, improve rapidly, as do broken-mouthed sheep.

DUN-S TRADE REVIEW Fact ories Silent, Business Congested and Outlook Gloomy. The Improvement Promised a Few Weeks Apo Not Materializing' as Was Expected. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-R. G Dun & Cos weekly review oi trade, to-morrow, will say: It Is difficult to detect any signs of Improvement. While thsre has been, some addition to the number of manufacturing establishments resuming and the number of hands at work during the past week, It is b3coming painfully clear that the orders obtained do not suffice to keep employed at full time even the limited force at present engaged. Th3 business transacted is still far below that of last year in volume, in railroad earnings the decrease being 10.6 per cent., in spite of large world's fair business. In payments through the principal clearing houses outside of New York the decrease is 2G per cent. There is, on the whole, less activity and less confidence regarding the' future than there was a week ago, due to the uncertainty regarding the monetary condition. Whila the volume of all kinds of money in circulation has increased $21,377,217 during the month of September, and is now greater by almost $10,000,000 than it was last year, th3 embarrassment is now, as it has besn all the time, due to a lack of confidence rather than to a lack of currency. It is observed that, while the bank circulation increassd in September $3,052,317, ths amount of bank notes in the treasury have increased $4,057,894, and several of the banks which took out additional circulation have retired it and sold the bonds deposited. The stock of money in New York banks has increased and the retirement of clearing-house certificates here and at other cities shows a great improvement In' the monetary situation and yet there is but little increase perceptibla In that confidence on which commercial or industrial loans mainly depend. There Is not such encouragement as might be desired in the Industrial reports for the week. In almost every department orders are found too small to keep the restricted working force fully employed. Many concerns are working short time, while the general reduction In wages also affects the purchasing power of th? millions who still have work. An increased number of establishments is reported in operation, but the sagging of prices in print cloths and some other cotten goods, and in the most important products of iron and steel discloses greatly retarded business The demand for iron products Is on the whole less satisfactory than it was a week ago. Steel billets are selling at Pittsburg for $18 per ton and there is practically no demand for rails. In manufacture of wool there is still remarkable hesitation and the demand for consumption is much restricted, so that the purchases of wool at the principal markets, notwithstanding some speculative buying, have been only 2.G23.993 pounds, against 4.272.400 for the same week last year. The markets for stocks and products have been comparatively dull. In stocks prices have generally yielded a little, and are a small fraction lower than a week ago. The trading has not been large excepting the industrial stocks, but those have not been active except in dealings between a few traders. The movement in wheat has been fairly large and the prices declined about 2c, while corn has also yielded about lc. Cotton is about ic higher, without distinct reasons in crop prospects, and pork products are also somewhat higher, pork being 77c per barrel up. Oil has advanced sharply, and after some reaction closed 2c per barrel higher than a week ago. It is possible that the surplus of currency in circulation has its natural effect in stimulating speculative activity. Happily the changes thus far have not diminished the exports of products, which continue fairly large. 7 M RESUME OF FAILURES. Failures continue to decrease in numbers and Importance, though not as much as has been hoped. The number reported in the United States during the past week has been 320, against ISO for the same week last year, and in Canada 45, against 27 for last year. The disposition to include all banking and financial failures with those of commercial and manufacturing concerns during the last year has led to statements which do much injustice to mercantile interests. In the accounts published this week, under the appropriate heading, it is shown that the aggregate liabilities of commercial failures during the last quarter of the year are but $52.814,17G. including some not properly classified, and that the aggregate of $82,420,040 may be fairly compared with the failures of a similar character reported in past years. During the first half of the year the failures were, in amount of liabilities, $108,920,829. so that the aggregate, Including banking and financial failures, has been not more than $251,340,837. But it is probable that some financial corporations were included l.i the returns for the first half of the year, and omission of these would somewhat reduce the aggregate. From returns to this agency and all other Information obtained it appears that failures of banks and corporations during the three-quarters of the year have been abcut 713 in number, with liabilities amounting to about $180,SOO,000. Resides these there were failures of railway corporations whose liabilities, not Including the stock outstanding, were ns,000,000. Thus It appears that if all liabilities of individuals, firms nnd corporations which failed during the nine months of 1S03 were considered the aggregate would not be far from $750,800,000. But for comparison with previous returns relating to commercial end manufacturing concerns, the aggregate liabilities, properly stated, Is somewhat less than $251. QUO, QUO.

WHEAT REACTED SOME

After Three Successive Daj's of Decline the Trice Turned. Com Was Still Hammered by a Coterio of Chicago Brokers Provisions Showed Gains. CHICAGO, Oct. 6. Too many staring uncertainties to-day made the shorts in wheat nervous. The result wa3 the covering of a great deal of wheat, and the market parted company with corn, which wa3 hammered again as on yesterday. The points confronting shorts In wheat were a short session Saturday, then no session aj;.-ln until Tuesday, and the government report for October, with prospect, according to some authorities, of only about a quarter the increase in the visible shown a year ago. Wheat closed at 'go recovery from yesterday's closing price, while corn is from to ic lower, oats a 'trifle firmer and hog products strong on some outside buying orders. f Wheat at the opening was about the same as the closing figures of yesterday to Uc better, advanced He and declined again to opening f gures, then became stronger, and prices were advanced "gc for December and ?ic for May, declined lie and ?ic. respectively, held steady, and the closing was about c higher for December and higher for May than yesterday. There waa not much wheat offered until the higher prices were reached, and the larger offerings then checked further advance. The big corn shipments which held the market early only delayed the storm. The selling of long corn and raiding by wheat houses was renewed the last hour, and another slump like that of yesterday occurred. The selling was led by Ream again, followed by Logan, Frazer and many other commission houses. The market opened with sc advance, and sold up a fraction more, declining lie later. On the down turn me nemand improved and prices advanced UtPic, then broke Tilc, ruled steady, and closed with loss. In oats George Severance bought quite freely. Prices did not get outside of a c range. Small receipts of hogs gave firmness to provisions, which were well held for a considerable time, but yielded later on some realizing sales by longs. Afterward the market began to harden again; and closed firm, with the following additions to yesterday's prices: In October pork, S5c; January, 20c; October lard, .12 c; January, 03c; January ribs, ,12c. There is a decline of .05c in October ribs. Vessel room was in good demand to load this week, but for next week's loading little inquiry existed. Rates were steady at 240 for wheat and 2c for corn to Ruffalo. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 175 cars; corn, 475 cars; oats, 275 cars; hogs, 10,000.

Instead of increasing, it grows less. In cotton goods there is very little spot trade, and only a few fair-sized orders have been received on export .account, with preference for brown and colored cottons. For prints and printed fabrics there is a quiet market on both local and mail orders, with no change in prices, but a tendency towards weakness. Print cloths show no changes; thcra are sellers at 2"-4c for 64 squares. Ginghams and woven goods rule quiet, with a few hurry orders for small quantities. Dress goods rule without change. Worsted goods show some weakness. Foreign dry goods, are fairly steady, with a moderate demand. The jobbing trade shows more activity on buying for out of town. Local demand small. Oiln. NEW YORK.
