Though business was light, a firm tone characterized the speculations in most instances, a fact which was attributed to the reassuring advices cabled from Jndon as to the progress of the settlement in Kaffirs. The market opened dull, but as a rule fractionally higher. The speculation left off lirm in tone, with the net results showing but little change. The course of prices during the week has been unsatisfactory to both bulls and bears. The salient features of th market Influences have been the Use in the price of silver, due primarily to its accumulation In London to the payment of another installment of ino Japanese indemnity by China, the government crop report, the anticipation of the publication of a plan for the reorganization of the Union Pacific railroad and a similar prospect for tne consolidation of the Chicago gas companies. The contest in Lnion tanned sole leather between the Trust and independent tanners had special effect on the Leather stocks. The crop report confirms the impression that' the corn crop of 1S93 is the largest ever gathered and that the wheat crop is a fair one. Cotton, according to the estimates, will be probably one-third shorter than In 1834. Jlowever, the planters are realizing practically GO per. cent, more money per bale than they received last year, and are marketing the crop freely, the veather being extremely favorable for picking the cotton. The fall trade has heen good both at New York and Chicago, while the heavy movement of spring wheat towards the head of the lakes has given tha St. Paul road the largest earnings in its history, excepting In October. .1:. The returns of iron furnaces in blast Indicate a production greater than ever before, with shi pments of ores from the Lake Superior region also breaking the record. To sum up. the domestic news is favorable, while the stock market snows an uncertain-. and even declining tendency. This has been brought about by the peculiar situation in London and on the continent, due to th extraordinary lnflation in African goM-mlning stocks, which n the average are selling at four times their par value. Anthracite coal has been Bteadlly marked up, both at tidewater and in the Interior. The stocks of the bituminous coal companies, while firmly held, have not advanced, though the business of the roads has Improved on the activity In the Iron trade. In financial and railroad circles great expectations are based on the proposed "Joint traffic association of the New York trunk lines and connecting roads." The only Stocks whose movements deserve comment were Chicago Gas and Leather preferred. The first was sold heavily early in the week and declined from 71. the limited sale, to 63;. A rally ensued which was helped -by the report that a majority of the certillcates had been deposited under the consolidation plan. The stock advanced to 70 on heavy dealings, closing only lower than a week ago. The unsettled condition of the sole leather market encouraged a bear drive on Leather preferred, forcing tho price down per cent, to Covering of shorts on the announcement of two per cent, dividend caused a recovery to S4?4. The discovery that th dividend was a regular and not a special one reinduced weakness. The final transactions recorded a net loss of and for the common 2 per cent. Final prices are In the main below last week's closing sales, but exceptional gains occurred In Starch Firsts of 4a; Krie Telegraph. 4. and Bay State Gas. Z per cent. The aggregate sales were 1.121.S68 shares. Trading in bonis in to-day s brief session was fairly large, the fales aggregating $S87,00O. The tone of the market was generally firm. In The usually Inactive lsues some material gains were scored. Prices for the week were irregular, with a declining ten Jency. The I'nlon pacific issues were prominent in. the dealings and cored advances on the news of the imjicnding. reorganization plan. Tho Oregon Improvement issues, were depressed early In the eek on the unsatisfactory financial condition of the company, the firsts declining 8 per cent., with a subsequent recovery of 4i p?r cent. Th other more prominent net changes are: Advances Illinois fctel debenture five?-. 12 per cent.; Toledo.

"In Wall street the speculative interest still hangs, fire." says Henry Clews, in his weekly review of last week's operations on the New York Stock Exchange. . "There is hesitation and postponement, though in no , sense positive , distrust. , The spirit of speculation and Investment alike is conservative and cautious, and those who have made large profits upon the advance or the last few months are not disposed to risk them recklessly upon new ventures. There Is a feeling that the not remote future has better conditions In store: but between the present and then there are contingencies which are regarded as possibly Involving sharp tests of the strength of the market. Chief among those uncertainties are the course of the gold movement after the opening Of the new year, and the extremely sensitive state of speculation on the foreign bourses. The former of these uncertainties is viewed hopefully, or at least as being so far In the future as to. warrant no acute misgivings at the moment. The bad possibilities of the transatlantic mining speculation, however, is a much more serious matter and compels prudent operators to keep on their guard. "The Kaffirs excitement is one of the wildest outbreaks of speculative mania experienced within, the present century. It began with the remarkable success of a few ventures connected with the new gold discoveries . in South Africa. This led to the formation of syndicates without end, and to the formation of companies for exploration and for dealing in the new issues of stocks and for the boldest banking undertakings. In respect to basis, many of the schemes- have really none except that of air; whilst most of those that have actual property have very questionable deposits of the precious metal, and all are capitalized immensely in excess of their actual merits. In the exploiting of these ventures, the fine art of financing has been carried to the most daring pitch of excess. Dividends have been declared In the face of losses and in the absence of production or even of any development. Py bold manipulation, the prices of these issues have been steadily forced up to a positively ludicrous Inflation. It is Impossible to state in exact flirures the extent to which this furore of speculation has run, for of a large amount of the ventures no public Information Is obtainable. Rut, so far as respects the companies which give more or less publicity to their affairs, there are some twenty-five which have been paying dividends, with some regularity, averaging about 20 per cent., and ranging in some cases as high as 63, to, 90 and even 100 per cent. These may be regarded as bona flic enterprises; and In the speculative enthusiasm they have excited lies the basis of the rotten, superstructures of speculation on which the metropolitan and provincial stock markets are alike running crazy. The legal Capitalization of these twenty-five companies 1h about $32,300,000; while their present market price represents $192,300,000, the dividends aver-iging about 9 per cent, on the current price.- Resides these, there are III companies reporting on the London market which are paying no dividends and pass muster on reiterated promises that are never fulfilled. These nondividend paying mines have an aggregate capital of $139,000,000. Their .market valuation - last month was 1363,000.000, or exactly four tlmts the par value of the shares. Besides the 138 mining companies above referred to, there are thirty-one other various organizations, which are concerned in land, banking, estates, promoting, exploration, etc. These concerns have a total capital of $73,000,000. consisting principally of 1 shares; and, in this case again, the market value is exactly four times the par capitalization, being $215,000,000. Excluding from the reckoning the twenty-five dlvu dend-paylng mining stocks, we have here, first, a total of 164 enterprises, representing either no valuo or very uncertain value, capitalized at $218,000,000; and. second, this comparatively worthless scrip worked up to a fictitious market valuation of $SS0,OoO.OuO. France ha also its schemes of like quality and similarly inflated, but wt have no means of knowing their exact extent. "This -Is the measure of the mass of explosive elements that now underlies the financial markets of London and Paris. This Is the quality of the Investment material that those great centers are gloating over while contemptuously turning up their noses at Amerlcna securities. It Js not surprising that the sober part of London and Paris must begin to feel utieasy. That all this must end in a terrific explosion there Is na possibility of question. That the catastrophe can be much longer postponed js not to, be doubted. The symptoms are already ominous. The stage of distrust has been reached, and the next stage must be realizing; and when that comes the collapse will be instantaneous, and hundreds of millions of market value may be wiped out In a few hours or days. At the moment the stronger speculators are attempting to stay the realizing process by main force of buying; but such stuff cannot be saved by such tricks, and soon the big speculators and the little ones will be crowding on each other to realize, with no buyers in the field. From the nature of the case it must be so; and It is none too earlv to discount the inevitable. "The interest of the New York market In this impending explosion lies In this: That as the collapse would affect the whole investment market, our securities held In England would suffer in sympathy, and might consequently be returned on this market. It Is easy, however, to overestimate the extent of that danger. The class who have participated in this craze are not likely to be the same as those who Invest in our securities or speculate In them. The latter class might temporarily realize; but the demand would soon return, and the speculative Interest in London would then center upon Americans, as affording the most attraction to the conservatism in speculation which would then be the order of the day. Nevertheless. Wall street cannot afford to, be indifferent to the coming end of this inflation. We shall feel the shock of the distant earthquake, and it will be prudent to keep a vigilant eye upon our china. "Home conditions affecting the market are grnerally favorable. The business of the country is proceeding upon a conservative but fairly profitable basis. The busi

ness of the railroads continues to gradually Improve, and the increase of $i?v).000 in last months receipts of the New York Central is regarded as an encouraging symptom. The conferences among the Western roads with a view to stopping rate-cutting are progressing favorably toward? some form of agreement. The rise of 23 cents per ton in the price of coal is favorable to better results for the coal roads. The movement of produce to the seaboard is now fairly under wav, which means not only .tetter earnings for the railroad, but also a freer supply of exchange against grain and cotton, and a further decline In rates for sterling. The large outflow of currency to the Interior Is a healthy symptom, and Is grad ually putting up the rate of Interest 1 ! towaras a normal scaie, wn-cn nas Deen much needed as a means of insuring a more wholesome regulation of the gold movement."

In several departments trade of the week closing Oct. 12 was so much of an improvement over many preceding weeks that the wholesale merchants were well satisfied. In prices there wete not many important changes. Sugars advanced early in the week, but later declined. Everything In the grocery line carries a steady, firm tone. The poultry market declined 1 cent, while eggs advanced Z cents, and are scarce at that figure. The commission men In the latter part of the week succeeded in bolstering up E rices somewhat on fruit a. but on vegetans low prices prevailed. The Cour marhct

Is more active, but prices do not improve. The coal market is becoming quite active and a tendency to advance prices is developing.

LARCiC VISinLC SIPPLY ASSISTED REARS TO DKI'RCSS W II CAT. Wenknesa Did ot Extend to Corn and Oats. Which Closed Unchanged Provisions Gnlncd. CHICAGO, Oct. 11 The visible supply got In Its work again to-day. December wheat lost He, owing to expectation of a big Increase in stocks next week. May corn and oats closed unchanged and provisions made slight gains. Wheat was fairly active. There were weak spots when the price fell Vc below the close, and from this point It went up steadily fully one cent, but suffered a relapse. The conditions and currenj gave some encouragement to both sides of the trade, but the bulls profited the most. Cables came higher and New York sent liberal buying orders here. Northwestern deliveries were only moderate and all advices continue to claim a pressing demand for flour for export and at satisfactory prices. There was liberal buying by several large local operators, and as offerings were moderate, the competition sent prices up. The exports of wheat and flour for the past week were nearly Sob.OOO bushels less than the week previous and the probable Increase In the visible supply next week was figured at about 2,000,000 bushels. But sentiment seems to have been shifting steadily to the bull side and there was liberal covering by shorts and good buying for Investment. But the sharp advance started heavy realizing and short selling, with nearly one cent break. December sold early in the session as low as CO'tr 60c, but advanced gradually to 6lVtc, turned weak and fell to 60l,ic, closing at that. Corn was comparatively strong on a very small amount of business. The elevator people appeared to want the carload offerings to go to store at a shade better prices than they would pay yesterday and a good demand was reported for shipment to the seaboard. October closed at 29c as against SSTic yesterday, and May at 29c, compared with 29?t291c on the day before. The firmness, in wheat and corn influenced the slight advance in oats. The elevator people also bought in quite a fair amount.' May opened at 20420c, sold at 20?r20c and closed steady at 20c. Provisions tried to get through the day with as few transactions In futures as possible and had a great measure of success. The little business that was done was at a shade Improvement over yesterday's closing prices. Pork and ribs are each 5c higher and lard .02VfeC up. The day's run of hogs was 17,000 and better prices at the yards caused the firmer feeling. Estimated cars for Monday Wheat, 350; corn. 50; oats, 250. Hogs, 36,000 head.

LONDON, Oct. 12. Wool, auction sales closed to-day with a firm tone, and at the best rates of the series, with the exception of Cape of Good Hope and Natal wools, and defective, bulky scoured, which were rather easier. The feature throughout the sales were the enormous muster of buyers and the impetuous bidding of the Kniflish and continental buyera. The quantity held over was only 10,000 bales, including fully 7,00) bales of Cape of Good Hope and Natal, which were distinctly- held above the mftricpt. Knglish buyers secured during tho sales 102,000, continental 189,0J0, and American 5.000 bales. The trade here la in a very healthy condition. Stocks are light with large orders for Bradford in hand and still looking. The continent Is also well supplied with orders. The supplies of wool will likely decrease next year throueh drought in New South Wales, a severe winter in New Zealand and a reduction of sheep. The sixth and last series of this year will open Nov. 2C. The first series for next year will open Jan. 14, and the second series March 3. The next sheepskin sales will be heiU Nov. 7. The number of bales offered to-day was 13,719, of wiich 400 were withdrawn. Following are the sales In detail: New South Wales 4.C77 bales; scoured, 7d(fns64d: ereasy, 44l0d.
