' Bar -silver, 64c; Mexican dollars, 49c. At London bar silver closed at 29 15-16d per ounce. The exports of specie from the port of New York for the week amounted to $1,000 in gold and $.873,740 In silver. The Imports were: Gold, $2,213,296; silver. $37,907; dry goods. $1,531,792; general merchandise, $6,398,486. The New York weekly bank statement chows the following changes: Reserve, decrease Jl?-Wl Loans, increase .s,6jn,JW Specie, increase 2,649,300 Legal tenders, decrease Deposits, increase 3,151,700 Circulation, increase- .. 335,400 The banks now hold $13,599,200 in excess of the requirements of the 25 per cent, rule. The New York Financier says: "The statement of the clearing-house banks of New York city for the week ending Oct. 30 reflects the operations of en active week. Despite the facts that the shipments of currency to the interior for the past seven clays exceeded $4,000,000 the banks report no loss of cash; in fact there was an actual gain of $11,100, the Increase in specie counteracting the loss of $2,638,200 in legal tenders. As the imports of gold during the period covered were about equal to interior shipments, the small change in cash reserve does not appear at all illogical. Loans showed an unusual expansion of $3,227,300, which is a favorable indication, although the increase is probably due to further preparations now pending for increased jrold imports. Aside from this, however, there have been a number of local causes for loan expansion. The favorable feature of the statement is an increase of $3,751,700 in deposits, the total now reaching $458,484.800. or nearly $2,000,000 in excess of loans. INCREASE IN DEPOSITS. "The Increased deposits called for an additional reserve liability and the banks report $926,825 less surplus cash than at the close of the previous week. The excess reserve is still $15,599,200, which is larger than for the corresponding week last year by over $1,000,000. The operations of the week, including, as they did, a temporary rise in the local money market, due as much as anything else to a demand for cash from the "West and South, together with the rapid fall in sterling. exchange, which is an incident closely connected with this demand, preaage a continuance of gold imports from Europe. The trade balances are largely in our favor and must continue so for some time to come. It is only natural under these conditions that the funds drawn from New York should be replaced by remittances from abroad, and conservative bankers would not be surprised if this second movement exceeded $6,000,000. and unless unforseen circumstances prevent' the total will probably be doubled soon. Of course, an advance in foreign money centers michr fhtnr a nnnlln., imports.'" uimouce wese The New York stock m surpassed the recent Saturday average record in some shares, and notably in Sugar the trading was heavy. Sugar led with over 51,000 shares, or nearly one-third of the aggregate transactions. The stock was again the speculative pivot, the general list following its main movements. The market displayed considerable feverishness, and as usual for some time past, reflected chiefly professional operations. Aside from Sugar, activity centered in the railway properties. In the early dealings there was a show of strength, but anticipations of an unfavorable bank statement and the statement of an advance of 1 per cent, to 5 per

i-rin. in me rate or discount or the Imperial Rank of Germany, were made the text for a raid on prices by the bears. Realizations helped to accelerate the declining movement. The actual exhibit of averages of the associated banks was more favorable- than the forecast, and its publication was the turning point in the speculation. In the early trading Sugar was conspicuous for irregularity. It advanced 1 reacted about a point and rallied from the low level. Manhattan and Reading dropped about 2 per cent. each, and the first mentioned made only an indifferent rally. The recoveries in the final hour extended to about 1 per cent, in Reading and Rurlington. The closing was steady at fractional net losses in most instances. The railway bond market exhibited considerable weakness, with the Reading and Atchison Issues the chief sufferers. The sales were $555,000. Government bonds were active and ruled slightly lower on sales of $110,000. ONE WEEK ON CHANGE. Stocks moved "rregularly during the week on a rather moderate aggregate of transactions. The market followed pretty closely the drift of the London quotations, and foreign developments were an important factor in shaping prices. The fluctuations in the specialties attracted considerable attention in view of the almost transparent manipulation in them ty inside interests and leading professional operators. Uncertainty regarding the monetary and general business outlook, together with a renewed contraction of the market for discounts, neutralized the effect of lower exchange rates and a revival of imports of gold to this country from Europe and restricted outside interest. The new orders for gold during the week swelled the aggregate of engagements, including arrivals cmce the inflow began, to $53,000,000 in round numbers. The recent ease in call money gave place to decided firmness, the extreme Jigure touched being 12 pr cent. The rate mentioned ruled momentarily, and was only to an extent due to the calling in of loans for purposes that had been onlv partially explained up to the close of the week. The average rate was abq.ut the legal figure. Time money also worked closer without appreciable change in rates and the demand for even the choicest mercantile paper flattened out considerably and rates were advanced slightly. Exchange broke to $4.83 for actual demand, sterling, and long bills touched 51.81V&. Commercial bills appeared in large volume, but owing to a decreased inquiry from remitters the demand was only nominal. The specialties were the features of the speculation, with interest centering chiefly in Sugar. Manhattan yid Tobacco. Sugar touched 105, the loweti point recorded for some time, but made a subsequent rally to 107. chiefly on covering of shorts. Tobacco, on the other hand, received effective support, and gained hlA, to G9"i. Manhattan was erratic, on a wide movement and a large volume of business. The stock dropped to 90, and closed practically unchanged. One of the most Important developments of the week, the acquisition of the Seaboard & Roanoke, which controls the Seaboard Air-line, by conservative interests, failed to exert more than passing influence, although the desirability of ending the savage rate cutting in the South is obvious. The general market shows net concessions of from 1 to 3 per cent., with the grangers most prominent. The bond market during the week was dull. The leading stocks show net declines of 1 to 3 per cent. Government bonds sashed slightly, in sympathy with the other 1 .

securities. The sales were $229,500. Silver certificates were dull but heavy throughout, on sales of $3S.000. The following table, prepared by L. W.

WHAT BANKER CLEWS SAYS. Henry Clews, in reviewing the situation in Wall street, says: "There is no abate ment in Wall street of the settled convic tion that the November verdict will dis pose of the dangers of the free-silver agi tation. There may be differences of opin ion as to the dimensions of the conservative victory; but it is assumed for granted that the election will give the country a President and a House of Representatives which may be safely trusted to protect the gold standard. The best evidence of this conviction is afforded by the unanimity with which the banks and other credit institutions show their increasing readiness to grant credits about which they would have had 'serious misgivings one or two months ago. The managers of our lending corporations are above all others concerned in having a sound basis for judging as to the nrobabl outcome of the election. The best sources of estimate are within their reach,, and they cannot afford to act upon dubious information. When, therefore, these administrators of finance show confidence not merely by their words, but at the same time in their actions and by the assumption of increased responsibilities, it may be taken for granted that the political prospect is reasonably sure for sound money. "But notwithstanding this confidence, it is perhaps not likely that Wall street will go much further than it already has in pre-discounting the outcome of the election. Even those who are expecting great results from a sound-money verdict will regard the next three weeks not so much as a time for forcing up prices as an opportunity for buying stocks, and they may therefore be expected to encourage a downward tone rather than an advance. In this connection it is also to be considered that a stage has been reached in the election, canvass at which there is always much conflict of claims about the comparative strength of the parties, which is attended with some excitement and oscillation of estimates. Both sides have a motive for concealing the truth. The weaker party finds it prudent to encourage its supporters by extravagant assurances of success. The winning side drea.ds nothing so much as the possibility of encouraging laxity of effort among its friends by a too confident assumption that its victory is inevitable. Thus the attitude and professions of both sides are calculated to put observers off their scent as to the actual drift of political sentiment. Wall street is very sensitive to Influences of this kind, and this fickle, factor is likely to influence prices more than any other cause for the next three "Estimates of the election chances of the respective parties overlook very generally the important fact that free coinage is not the only great question calculated to influence the vote. Even allowing that there is a large mass of our people who, from ignorance or other causes, fail to understand the widespread dangers of depreciating the standard of our money system, yet it is reasonable to assume that these same peo ple will be insensible to the essential 01sloyalty, the revolution and the anarchism openly sanctioned in other planks of the Ch'cago platform? It seems impossible to concede this much of any really serious portion of the American people, without casting upon them a stigma of unfitness for citizenship, which nothing in our political history so far warrants. These aspects of the canvass have so far been held in abeyance by the heat of the discussion on the money question, but it is to be presumed that, during the remainder of the campaign, these neglected questions may receive fuller attention, the effect of which could not fail to swell the majorities on the conservative side. It is especially to be hoped that an express effort may be made to stay the divisive and dangerous attempts to foster sectional hostilities and class animosities. . "The spirit of jealously displayed against the East in many of the new States of the far West because of the disparity in wealth which exists is simply absurd. The people who cherish that animosity forget the fact that the Eastern people have had over a hundred years' start in the accumulation of wealth. The remoter new States occupy a position towards the Eastern more wealthy States similar to that which some young men just commencing life hold towards old men who have accumulated their fortunes. Such starters in life easily become dissatisfied because they have to cope with powerful competitors. In taking this attitude, they do not take into account that the older men have given three score or more years of hard work to the accumulation of their wealth, and that they have the same opportunities to accomplish all that the older ones have done in acquiring riches, providing they apply themselves to effort with equal diligence. With the equality of opportuntiles in this country that all men possess, why should there be any feeling of envy simply because one part of the country has had one hundred or more years' start over others and has become rich by comparison? England was rich, through the accumulations of many centuries, before the United States came into existence. Did the people of the United States feel any animosity toward the English people because they had the start of them in money making by many generations? Take all the great fortunes in this country at the nresent time they were founded by men on the common level of all the people without any money backing. This applies to the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the Goelets. the Mills, the Huntingtons, the Pullmans, the Rockefellers, the Carnegies and all our other rich men. What has been accomplished by them can be accomplished by others in the future. There will be just as good an opportunity to make money in the coming generation as there has been in the past, in a country like this, where the resources are so vast and the opportunities, so great, if people will knuckle down to the work for which they are adapted and apply themselves closely to it."

LOCAL GRAIX AM) I'UODICE. Improvement In Trade Perceptible and Prlcen Steady. While !n no line (b there any boom In trade, there is a perceptible ir.creaee. With the advance in leather the demand has become more active. The Ulde market la in better condition

and prices are firm. Flour is active and prices tending upwards. Cho;- seed brings better prices, but a good deal of inferior etock has found its way on to the market, especially clover seed. Grocers are having a good trade with the exception of sugar and prices are firrper on all staples. ry goods have improved and prices are firm on most lines. With millinery houses the season ia about over. With confectioners it is Just coming on and they are quite busy. On Commission row trade the last week was something of an improvement over the trade of the preceding week. Prices continue to be very low on both fruits and vegetables. Not in the history of Commission row have us low prices generally prevailed. Poultry, on increasing receipts, went oft e during the week, while eggs, on light receipts, advanced lc. In other lines there ia nothing calling for rpecial note. The Snow-Church Company's weekly Trade Report savs: "There has been little change in the condition of the local markets, and the general position taken by merchants and manufacturers

is one ol a nigner plant, wnicn seems to indicate a tendency toward a greater unanimity of action. While nothing has transpired, either lo cally or otherwise, that has had any important bearing on the situation, the volume 01 bust ness lor the week has demonstrated tiuite clearly that the situation has reached a firm founda tion, and from now on until after the election we can expect a slight increase in sales from week to week. This opinion is strengthened by the belief that winter will set in earlier than usual. The prevailing Conditions of different lines of business show such vast differences in volume and in prices, as well as other distinguishing features, that it is hard to make any comparisons this year with former years. One merchant says, regarding business for the week ending Oct. 10, "that we are in for a period of animation, or it sewns so, as measured by the past months, when we had time to sit around and spin yarns. His next door neighbor says business is at a standstill and no telling when this intense dullness will let up. However, tak ing everything into consideration, the indications all seem to lavor nigner prices than have prevailedfor some months pat, and that after the election business will take on new life. The feeling regarding monetary affairs has improved, as the shipments of gold to this country continue.' Whil3 moderate, they promise to continue for some time to come. Bankers are extending heav ier lines of credit, and operations by large manufacturing concerns are being extended. Numer ous large contracts have been let, and the market for ircn and steel is stronger. Some heavy purchases of wool have been made, an indication that woolen mills will soon resume operations. Stocks of goods throughout the country are depleted, and with increased sales of fall goods, principally staples and woolens, stocks of manufacturers are exhausted. I'rices are being maintained or snowing sngnt increase. Dry goods show a demand by country merchants that is steady, but moderate. Prints were a little dull, with some improvement in the sales of woolens. The general market has been quite satisfactory, but collections are still slow. The number of failures is still large as comnared with previous years, and the r umber of embarrassments reported is correspondingly large." In the local grain market it was one of the most active weekr. in some months. The advance in wheat and corn gave more interest to cereals and a more active market is now looked for.

WHEAT MARKET HIGHER

TRICES HELPED BY REPORTED CROP DISASTER IX AUSTRALIA. After First Few Minutes Firmness Was the Leading; Feature of All Chicago Markets. CHICAGO, Oct. 10. The markets without exception were strong to-day. Compared with Thursday's closing prices, there is an advance of c in wheat and 4c in corn, fee in oats and 32! '2c per barrel in pork. Several influences combined to help wheat, perhaps the principal one being reports of disaster to the Australian crop. For a second or two at the opening the majority of the crowd in the wheat pit was inclined to take a bearish view of the situation. But it was only for that length of time. Then the sentiment suddenly changed, and for an hour prices went steadily upwards until an advance of over lc from the opening price of 6S!26Sc for December had been reached. The easy feeling at the opening was principally caused by the Northwest receipts. Minneapolis and Duluth received l,02u cars, which, although forty-eight cars less than received on the previous Saturday, are only 34 cars below the number received a year ago from the acknowledged very heavy crop ot that season. The bears vere also somewhat encouraged by the view which Bradstreet's report expressed of the size of this year's crop, which that authority is inclined to think will not fall much short of SOJ.OOO.OOO bushels. Among the reasons for the ad vance which so suddenly followed the open ing weakness were the following: The week's clearances of wheat and flour from both coasts were again over 4,000,000 bushels. Liverpool was firm at about yester day's advance of d, and reported another cargo of wheat as being engaged for shipment to Calcutta, A San Francisco telegram said a cablegram from Australia to a reliable house reported the wheat crop in Australia destroyed by hot, scorching weather. The statement was afterward reiterated on another telegram, and he.ped to cause the advance to 6&c in the first hour. Later, however, the bull feeling toned down a good deal; it was rumored that the visible supply Monday would show an increase of 22,500,000 bushe's. Cudahy was also reported to have taken advantage of the advance to sell a big line, and St. Louis took profits on about 2,000,009 bushels. The price declined to CS'aC. but reacted again and closed steady at G9c. an advance of aoout c. Corn was active, strong and higher. The local receipts were below expectations. The export business keeps active and cables made a sharp advance. Shorts covered, and there was a good investment demand. The strength was maintained even through the soft spots of wheat, and the closing was firm at a good, substantial advance. May opened He higher at 2lt2Uc, advanced to 27Vc and closed firm at 27c. Oats were Arm and higher, mainly influenced by Xhe action of corn. Business, for a Saturday, was very active, and the aggregate sales considerably In excess of the average. Demand was good and offerings moderate, yet sufficiently meager to bring .toout a firm feeling. May opened Vic higher at 19"?4c. advanced to SOyic and closed steady at 20ysc. Provisions were very strong. Packers were liberal buyers, and although one firm sold 15,000 tierces of lard the market absorbed it and advanced while it was being disposed of. After some reaction from the top prices heavy outside buying orders were received and were the principal cause of the bullish snap with which the market closed. January pork closed 321;C higher at $7.82M; January lard. 7"c higher at $4.50; January ribs 12'c higher at $3.87.
