DUN'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

Ilnln" lla'ul Vet .tliourrrtl I:mm tat inn. Xkw Vom. Oct. -'. -I.. C. Dun .fc Ci.s weekly review of trade, issued today, says: Cotton, Wlow a cents and wheat Inlow ,Vi cents, each lower than ever since present classifications were known, with expoiis of gold instead of product' at such prices in OctoWi. are the salient features in business this week. Distribution of goods to coni.umers goes on fairly, with gains at nearly all points in comparison with last year, but not yet at a rate to sustain the present volume of ltianiifac turing production, so , that prices weaken a little. The domestic trade represented by railroad earnings is .1.1 percent, less than last year, and 1:5.4 per cent, less than in ls'X'. The payments through the principal clearinghouses for the third week of OetoWr are per cent, greater than last year, but .11.5 jht cent, less than in IM-.'. The daily average for the month Is .Vit jht cent, larger than last year, but "Js.-.1 .smaller than in lst'J. With many features of encouragement business has not yet answered expectations, and it Is evident that the loss of part of the corn crop and the unnaturally low prices of other staples affect the buying power of millions. Wheat for OeioWr deliverv fell to übt"' cents on Wednesday, and, in spite of some recovery, the average for OetoWr thus far is ' cents Wlow the lowest monthly average ever made, which was in September, and was nearly 10 cents K'low the lowest prior to this year, the UetoWr average being ,V cents Kdow that of OetoWr. lv'.u or IslK). Western receipts are onlv 1,700.:tl bushels for the week, against (.- Oi5l.:sK5 last year, and Atlantic exports W1,0M bushels, against (':;..: U last year, but thecontroling fact is that no demand as yet promises to clear away the enormous surplus. Corn declined one-half cent during the week, with receipts not a quartiT of last year's, and exports not a tenth. Pork products were somewhat weaker, with lard a quarter lower. Cotton sold at .'..U cents on Thursday, and with Allison's estimate that the world will consume" s.'.'Js.OÖO Wies .American, the stock of '.'.'KKi.ooo bales in sight, and the estimated yield of over "-.000,000 bales deters buyers. Domestic exports from this eity in two weeks of October were 10 per cent, less in value than last year. While the increase in value of imjMirts has lteen "7 jkt cent., much of the decrease in exports i in price, but in August and eptemW'r the quantity of wheat decreased over a third. Provisions and cotton gained, but oil decreased, and in miner products exports in SeptemWr declined 10 percent. The increase in imports, exclusive of sugar, was over ,V. per cent, in Septemlter. and in two weeks of October at Xew York over 4:t per cent. With this heavy increase in purchase and a decrease in the sales of products abroad, the market for foreign exchange is in a position to W quickly affected by withdrawals of capital or apprehensions regarding' the future peace of Europe. To S.IOO.oOO gold shipped Tuesday It is expected that as much will W added to-day. It appears that three trust companies here now hold over tMO.fHK).(KM) idle money, and that eastern mill loans are Wing taken from .New orlc by New England banks, while the northwestern demand for money is unusually small. The treasury is again falling backward in reserve, and large imports yield a little less revenue than last year, while internal re-enne for the past three weeks is S4,'-00,u) smaller than a year ago. The dry gitods business nnd textile industries were esjtecially favored by the demand in August and September. In men's spring goiwl.s there are few small orders, and, while fall orders for suitings continue good, the demand for cloakings has Wen reduced by tho strike of cloakmakers. Sales of wool have for three week of OetoWr lteen 1..147,4W bales, against s,S44,4W last year, and 1!,1hj;,. ofti) in ls-x', with markets lull and prices barely maintained. The Ixtot and shite trade is doing remarkably well, shipments from Hoston for three weeks having Wen LWJ.fiWS cases, against 109,501 last vear, and in Isy.'. The iron and steel business makes a Wtter showing this week. I 5essem.r pig having stiffened to SI0.1MI at Pittsburgh, and at Chicago and New York structural and bridge orders have Wen . , . , , . , . ... piaceu, out oar iron lias fallen to DO vi-iiin mr vomuion anil si lor stm.i nt . . .

The Pennsylvania railroad reports its material account :,0 per cent less than that of last year to date. i'he failures in OetoWr thus far ha v.. been quite moderate in strictly commercial lines, the liabilities amounting to Sl.s-.'HWT, of which $1.7'.:;.n30 were of m-inufacturlng and Sl,i'.ar. of trading concerns.

Messenger Marshall was ordered to open the safe containing the money of the Texas Ai PaeitieCoal Co. Telling then, he could not do this, they seized a piek and ruined the combination, remarking: "If we can't get that motu those miners at Thurher shan't ' The robbers Sled southward and no trace of them has yet Wen secured. Howards aggregating S l,0ou have Wen offered for their arrest. The money secured was taken from the way sab The train crew first saw there was something wrong when they were four miles east of (btr.lon. The se.-tli-ii gang was flagging tho train, and it was seen that a rail had been removed. After two of the rohltors had covered the engineer and fireman with ritle and walked them in front of the en. giue two more of the gang made the. r nppeanince. The whole gang then forced the firemati and engineer to walk ahead of them to the express car and forced the messenger to open the door of tho express car. After the door had been ojeueit the engineer and fireman were taken back to their engine by two of the robbers. The two who remained to Ioo the express car took every valuable package except those in the through safe. The handle to the combination of the 'through safe was i smashed by the robbers in their, efforts to for. e it, but all they could do was to batter the safe badly. The money which was n the through safe Wlonging to the Texas .Y Pacific Coal Co. was going to ThurW-r to pay off the large numWrof men employed in the mines there One package which is known to have Wen taken contained S1,X. The only time the robbers used their re-olvers was when Baggage man Almenis Wcamo too inquisitive. He peered out of his car door to see what the trouble was and not Wing quick enough w hen one of the robWrs told him to take his head in, he had a narrow esea'ie from Wing .struck with a bullet, which iiinVdiled itself in the casing of the diKtr. The crew say that the robbers did not occupy more than thirty minutes in the job, nnd acted as if professionals of long experience. The robWrs kept an eye on the mail clerks, but did not bother the mail pouches or passengers. The work was done so quickly and quietly that the passengers were ignorant that anything; of the kind was transpiring until the job was nearly over. It is supposed the rolbers had confederates in hiding near by with horses to aid the gang in escaping. W'canse there was no sign of horses near the railroad. When the robl-ers disappeared the train was run wide open to Cordon, from which jtoint the niilwav. express and county oflicers were notified by telegraph of the crime. Posses were formed at once to pursue the bandits. When the train arrived at TliurWr an engine loaded with a posse armed for business was found waiting under a full head of steam, and it was hurried to the scene of the daring hold-up. Marshall, the express messenger, refused to sav anvth ing altout the robbery, except to express his thanks that the men had not killed him. SURE OF THEIR MEN.
