Bradstreet’s says: “The month of September closes with a rather better putlook in the industrial world than wws apparent a week or ten days ago. But little of significance is to be extracted from tbe movement of prices. Wheat has been somewhat irregular and prices shift listlessly. Corn, though inactive, showed strength, presumably on small supplies of ‘spot.’ Spot cotton is up on the week, but the general market has fluctuated nervously. A satisfactory activity in dis tributive trade, checked to some extent in 'certain localities by unseasonable weather and in others by a tendency to curtail operations pending the outcome of the electoral contest, is disclosed by telegraphic advices. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,242,810 bushels, against 3,535,857 last week. Corn exports for the week aggregate 2,156,171 bushels, against 2,134,205 last week.”
