Nkw York, Not. 20.—R. 0. Don & Co.| in their weekly review of trade, tay: The gain in the volume of business sontinoes entirely without precedent. More than 390 establishments have started work since the eleotion, which were idle, and /at least 300 have increased working force. Every day thus adds thousands to the number of those who able to buy a week’s supplies aud then make up gradually for mauy months of enforced ecouomy. Already this brings great increase in the volume of business and the cleariughouse exchanges, for the first time in several years, not only exceed those of last year by ten per cent, but also exceed those of the same week in 1893 by nine per cent. Busiuess men are all anxious to prevent anything like the fictitious excitement of last summer, and in nearly all branches an excessive rise in prices is prevented. But with'more hands at work there is inevitably a greater demand for supplies, materials and products. The speculative markets have been reacting.wltich is also natural. Wheat had risen with wonderful rapidity, so that exports had been checked by the higher prices, aud realizing started a break which made the close 3% lower for the week. The demand for freight room, both | here and on the Pacific coast, is still so j large as to disclose an extraordinary j foreign demaud. Cotton has declined from 8 to 7.62 j cents in spite.of the starting of many | cotton mills, and the controlling fact for the moment is that reports of a | yield smaller thau 8,000,000 bales are i now entirely discredited. The quantity coming into sight has exceeded j lust year by 820,000 bales, and it is j noted that the decrease in the remaining months of the year will bring the aggregate below 8,500,000. The export demuud does not abate, although temporarily checked while prices wore above 8 cents, aud the increase of 80,400,000 in value of cotton exported in October contributed more than any ! other single item to make tire aggrei gate exceed that of the same mouth in any previous year.

In u transition period industries record gains slowly, but the slight decline in prices of Bessemer pig iron and of finished products of iron ami steel is partly duo to realizing On speculative purchases before electiou, and partly to the selling of nails by jobbers below the combination price. For most manufactured products oi iron there is a better demand and 4^ slow advance in prices. Shipments of boots aud shoes for three weeks oi November have been 183,027, cases against 174J7» last year, but while the works have orders for some time ahead, neither manufacturers nor dealers are disposed to do much because of the uncertainty about prices, those of boots aud shoes beiug about 11 per cent, above the lowest poiut; leather. Id. 3 per cent., and hides 51.4 per cent., the latter again rising at Chicago. Iucottor and woolen goods no serious chang* appears, though there is continued weakness in cottons, and print cloths are a sixteenth lower. Stocks of wool purchased before and immediately after the electiou now preveut a further advance, but to November 15 wool bad risen 10 per cent, ou the average. | Failures for the week have been 344 in the United States, agaiust 320 last year, and 40«in Canada, against 42 last year. __ THE FUR SEAL HERD.
