IN GENERAL.

Weekly trade reviews show good distribution of merchandise in preparation for heavy holiday trade. Panama fears Colombia government w ill absorb all of the $7,000,000 to be paid for concessions and privileges for the isthmian canal. It is semi-officinlly announced that it is not improbable that President Loubet of France will make an official visit to the St. Louis exposition in 1904. The Association of College Alumnae in session at Washington decided to admit to membership graduates of the University of Illinois and chose Milwaukee as the place for the next meeting.

A general advance in wages of train”men on all lines between Chicago nnd Buffalo, Salamanca, Pittsburg and the Ohio River Is likely within the next few weeks. It is said that a 10 per cent increase is almost inevitable. Relations between United States and Cuba are more unsatisfactory than the public is aware; Germany and England aro causing distrust over proposed commercial treaty and Cubans are unlikely to ratify It; Col. Tasker 11. Rlisa has been sent from Washington to Havana to negotiate a new agreement. Canada Is seeking emigration of Americans on charge that “United States Is composed of tenant farmers’’ aud “It is Impossible for these to own land they cultivate”; 25,000,000 acres for sale in Ontario, and Americnn syndicate will sell 2,000,000 acres to 75,000 American farmers. with free transportation, at $3 an acre.

An evening paper nt Victoria, B. 0., says: “In the quietest possible manner and with every precaution to secrecy United States surveyors hnve encroached upon Canadian territory to the northeast of Cape Fox and appropriated to iteelf thousands of square miles of land lying within the boundaries of British Columns to the westward of Portland canal.”

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

.. „ r~| “Lower prices for rnilNBlf lON. I way Btockß than nt any ■' 1 ■ ' time since last March do not necessarily indicate loss of traffic nor a setback in business. On the contrary, coincident with the collapse of the stock market, there were many evidences that manufacturing and transporting interests have not sufficient facilities to meet demands, although plants and equipment are now of greater efficiency than ut any previous time.” The foregoing is from the Weekly Trade Review of R. G. Dun & Co. It continues: Distribution of merchandise is fully maintained, preparations being mnde for a heavy holiday trade, and frequent complaints of tardy deliveries testify to the heavy consumption. Prospects for continued activity are bright because of unprecedented harvests, prosperity in the agricultural sections assuriug a good demand for other products. Threatened labor controversies have been averted, in some cases wages being advanced, while a number of increases were voluntarily given. Railway earnings continue to advance, the first week of November showing a rise of 4.8 per cent over 1901 and 15.2 per cent over 1900. High temperature retards retail trade in seasonable goods. Aside from the expected decline in prices of pipes and tubes there has been no evidence of weakness, and all the recent concessions were caused by competition of new plants rather than diminished business. Many purchasers are delaying prders, however, in the hope that the 'market will go lower in other departments, but there is abnormal support In the light movement of coke. Rail mills are fully booked up to next September, and a Canadian road placed a large order in Germany, while structural shapes are in great request, especially for bridges. Failures for the week numbered 241 In the United Stntes, against 215 last year, and 24 in Canada, compared with 27 a year ago. ' There Is not enough CDiCfIQQL nlonp J’ * n (he United States a to do the work, carry on the business, move the enormous crops, and still permit of a surplus to carry on stock speculation on the former large scale. The New York banks have been conservative throughout, and by refusing to encourage speculation have really helped along the decline. Wherever values are highly inflated it is the part of prudence to look for ultimate recession. The decline in stocks has borne out the predictions made when money first begun to tighten. Unless it runs into abnormal depression it will be a good thing for the country. It is a case of bountiful prosperity against the fear of-something less favorable to come, coupled with inability on the part of interests heavily committed to the long side of the market to ear.-y their holdings through a period of tight money and high interest rates. People who would buy stocks outright are using their money to advantage in the marts of trade, and such money as is seeking investment is timid and disposed to await a change of sentiment. And people who would buy for speculation find that money conditions do not favor them. Eventually everything will work out all right and a readjustment of values will be in order. Here in the West there is no scarcity of money for all legitimate purposes. There is good business in the jobbing lines, in lumber, and in retnil trade, although colder weather is desirable for the latter. The trouble brewing on the western railroads has subsided. There is the old story of lack of fuel in places and car shortage in general. Minneapolis claims to fee! the car shortage less than other western centers, and while the local mills recently broke every record by the production of 448,710 barrels of flour in a week and the volume of outgoing freight every day is enormous, there is not much complaint heard of inability to secure prompt service.
