CMMEDCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Tj T 7 r~| “Complaints are increasN6V iOrK. * n S ah to the tardy move- —— 1 ment of freight, miles of cars being stalled by the lack of motive power, and many roads refuse to accept further shipments until the blockades tire relieved. Lower temperature has stimulated retail sales of seasonable njerebam dize, but frost comes too late to seriously injure agricultural products. Liberal corn sumption sustains quotations in most lines; domestic demands being supplemented by large exports.” The foregoing is from the Weekly Trade Review of R. G. Dun & Co. It continues: Operating expenses of the railways have increased in many cases to such a degree that net earnings are somewhat curtailed, but gross earnings for October thus far exceed last year's by 4.7 per cent and those of 1900 by 13.5 per cent. Undue significance is attached to the announcement that the Frick Company will not advance next year’s price for' coke above $3. Although this is in line with other conservative efforts of leading interests to prevent inflated prices, the probable influence on the outside market will not be great, ns tlie bulk of output will go to the various plants of the United States Steel Corporation. Meanwhile saks are being made at $lO in extreme cases, and the scarcity has closed more blast furnaces. The future .course of the iron and steel industry will be largely influenced by this fuel shortage, much business being permanently lost to borne producers, nnd prices in some departments already show the effect of disorganized conditions. Railway needs have not diminished, numerous large (filers constantly appearing, while the pressure for locomotives is causing large premiums to be offered. Structural shapes for bridge and ship building are next in point of urgent demand. Agreement on tlie tin plate wage scale may secure n lot of business that now goes out of the country, and some reduction in prices is expected. Wire nails are also cheaper, but as a rule quotations are well maintained. Conditions at the cotton mills aye healthy, a scarcity of goods being general, while there is no disposition to force transactions. It is early forsupplentontary buying of spring woolen goods and fall trade is finished, so that these divisions of the market are naturally quiet. Raw wool is very firm at the leading east t-rn markets, which are shipping freely to the mills. Bradstreet's report giving grain figure* says: Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending Oct. 30 aggregate 5,997,020 bushels, against 7,000,417 last week, 6,C72,88S in this week last year and 3,012,421 in 1900. Wheat exports since July aggregate 91,428,937 bushels, against 100,728,939 last season nnd 03,847,504 in 1900. Corn exports aggregate 153,200 bushels, against 84,504 last week, 000,159 last year nnd 3,920,110 in 1900. ( The Northwest would j LIIiCdGO. welcome a turn of bright, ' cool weather. Business in the aggregate was hardly up to the mark, warm weather having covered a portion of the week, holding back retail demand in some degree. The week in its early part witnessed a rise to 73*4c for December wheat, but in laterd trading a 2-cent reaction was made. This was hardly surprising in view of tlie almost uninterrupted rise for three weeks that carried December up from G7U»c. Flour demand has not been so brisk, but the Minneapolis mills are oversold to Dec. 1, and are grim]ing about 1,750,000 bushels of wheat every week. Receipts there meanwhile ure moderate nnd even with the increase of 791,103 bushels in stocks last week, und another increase of (503,024 bushels this week, there is a total of only 3,057,133 bushels in Minneapolis elevators, it remarkably low stock for the season. The transportation situation is, if anything, a little worse, the railroads having hard work to handle the freight. All over the country side tracks are filled with loaded cars, while in the Northwest the grain shippers complain that even nfter they get the empty cars and load them out it is often seven to twelve days before they reach their destination.

A Wonderful Pill.

Freedom, Mo., Nov. B.—A splendid remedy has recently been Introduced In this neighborhood. It Is called Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and It has cured Rheumatism right and left. On every hand may be heard stories of the remarkable recoveries and from what has been stated already there seems to be no case of Rheumatism that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure. One of those who has already tested the virtue of Dodd’s Kidney Pills Is Katie Anderson of this place, who •ays: “I can’t say enough for Dodd's Kid* Bey Pills. They have helped me so much. I suffered very severely with Rheumatism. Five boxes cured me completely. They are certainly the most wonderful medicine I have ever used.” Osage County abounds In just such cases and If the good work keeps on there will soon be no Rheumatism left tu this part of the State.
