Bradstreet’s says: “Unsettled weather and holidays are a drawback to retail and jobbing distribution in many markets, but the general situation is still a most satisfactory one and the iron and steel, eoal, boot and shoe, hardware and lumber trades are conspicuously well situated. The one unsatisfactory feature in cotton is the depression iu the export branch, which tends to weaken brown goods. The feature in the grain market was the carrying to a successful conclusion of the November corn corner in Chicago. Following the private settlement of the shorts, at a basis of 50 cents a bushel, came a drop to 41 cents. At New York the influence of this corner—one of the few successful corn corners on record —was to advance prices slightly, owing largely to the deflection of supplies. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 2,407,880 bushels, against 3,827,200 last week and 3,690,400 in the corresponding week of 1899.
