The undertone of the stock market becamo trong yesterday, and prices moved upwc.rl pretty consistently to the close, which waj trong. but notably dull, and with gains well maintained. The dominant factor in the market was the large engagement of gold for import, I-oudon. Paris and Berlin all contributing-. th total amounting- to J2.T00.0OO. The dealing's In stocks were not large at any time, and the day's operations were attributed to professional operators for the most part. There was a fair distribution of the. strength, but the effective dealings during- the day were concentrated In a few tocks. and thoaa distinguished for the recent large short eelllnx, from which they have suf fered. People's gas was the notable example In th Industrial Hat. The stock sold off after theopenlrj on the presumption that Thursday's buying had satisfied the demand from the short.-. but the large covering at the decline caused a renewed advance, and It was lifted at one time an extreme 5'i. closing with a net gain of JH per cent. In the railroad list Northern Pacific was In largest demand on buying supposed to be for insMa Interests. But here also the tr.ort interest played an Important part In the day's advance, which reached 24, with the nt gain 2. But while the- strength of these two Stocks was pre-eminent, a list of those which rose from 1 to 2 points waa a long one. Not withstanding the notable dullness at the last. the closing was strong and rains nere w. II maintained. The failure of the. money rate to respond to the operations in the stork market gave color to the supposition that thy were conauctea cy professional operators, who had Supplied themselves with time loans with a view to such a contingency an the nrcs.nt Th. ..nil loan rate, in fact, was Inclined to sag, the rullnj rat declining to 3 per cent, notwithstanding that loans made yeaterday rry over until MooCay. There waa some relaxation In the Interior cemar.d for currency.

local jiiain .vn pnoDici:. Another Good Day of Trade on AVholenle Street Prices) Steady. Like the preceding days of this wcfk. trade with the houses on the wholale streets yesterday was active. Keldcm has there been a wek In which as many goods were sU as In the one closing to-day. The dry-poods house, boot and shoe merchant, confectioner?, hat and cap dealers und milliners seemingly are the most benefited, but in other lines a good trade wan enJoyed. On Commission row a good business was transacted. Receipts of fruits and vegetables are not as large as ten days ago, and better Trices are being realized. The poultry,' egg and butter markets art- all active, and on choicn stock prices quoted, are readily obtained. In nil lines cf business a. good feeling Is noticeable, as both wholesale and retail merchants are becom-It'-5 confident that there Is to be no changft in the present administration of the affairs of this government, financially or otherwise. Th local train market presents no new features. Receipts are not large, being in-uftlclent to meet local demand.

ST12AI1V IMPHOVIMIIT IX TIIIJ LRAL TRADE SITUATION. Cereal a Are 3Ioving Freely Increased Hoot and Shoe Shipments The Iron nnd Steel Prospects. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. R. G. Dun & Cos weekly Review of Trade, to-morrow, will say: More seasonable weather had important Influence throughout the country, but the coal strike continued as the restraining factor In business. " As speculation everywhere Is on a small scale, the effect is minimized. Eower prices recently, for some iron product?, have been without disturbing force, and the firmer market for print cloths, and strong quotations for lumber, show that In some directions In, the great industries a small Increase in demand is capable of raising prices. The situation still promises a recovery when politics and the strike arc settled. Distribution of merchandise at the "West Is still very active. The working force is Increasing steadily, and in railroad and manufacturing circles in the middle West scarcity of laLor Is causing nneaslnes?. Fear of tight money has made some men hesitate, but higher rates result from the activity of the movement of cotton, at high prices, in the South. At the moment the movement of gold from Euroie has tended to relievo the tension In New York, and gold is still coming from Australia. Pig-Iron production has been further reduced, according to tho Iron Age. On Oct. 1. the weekly capacity of furnaces in blast was 223.1C9 tons, against 231.778 Sept. 1, and 2?ti,376 June 1. Stocks at furnaces continue to accumulate, gaining S'?,S41 tons in September. A gratifying feature is the evidence that supplies In consumers' hands are low. Quotations of Iron products are steady, and foreign buying continues, two contracts of importance being placed. Pipe makers are buying quantities of pig, while car and fhip builders are also urgent bidders for material. Much disappointment was apparent among cotton traders when the official crop report appeared." for the anticipation of a gloomy report had put the price uj to 11 cents. When the statement indicated a pointed improvement in Texas in September, prices dropped sharply. Wheat also declined without the aid of a government report. C"rn remains steady in the face ot the decline in condition. Foreign buving is small. Atlantic exports In two week amounting to 4,851, 878. bu, against 6,177,148 bu last year. Shipments of boots and shoes from Boston at the rate of S3, 4 15 cases weekly mean the most active business since April, and exceed the heavy forwardlngä of last year. Improvement Is general, with orders from all parts of the country and frequent requests for shipment. The signs that excessive accumulations have become distributed are encouraging. Leather is shar? ing the increased activity at the shops, and the average price of hides at Chicago advanced Uc. Failures for tho week were 222 in the United States, against 164 last year, and 22 in Canada, against 27 last year. IRON AXD STEEL PROSPECTS. lleary Orders for Ralls and Rridse Slaterlala The Cereal 'Trade. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Brad street tomorrow will say: Though some measures of business volume and value make unfavorable comparison with a year ago, and speculation is certainly on a reduced scale in nearly all lines, other registers of trade activity are still very favorable, and it is hard to resist the conclusion that, with few notable exceptions, the actual business of the country Is, as a rule, equal to if not slightly In excess of the corresponding porlod of 1809. This, .too, is the case in spite of the distinctly repressive tendency exercised by the present presidential campaign. Trices of staples, as a whole, are firm, after a sustained advance for a month past, succeeding a summer of quiet steadiness, and the unhealthiness of the short side in speculation has been brought forcibly to the attention of dealers in a number of staples, notablj' hog products and flaxseed. The event of the week in the Iron and steel trade has been the taking of 150,000 tons of rails by the Pennsylvania at $26 a ton, announced on Friday. This action, which probably will be followed by other companies, disposes of the steel rail puzzle satisfactorily to the rail makers and constitutes another element of strength to the Industry generally. Despite a decrease of over 20 per cent, in current pig Iron production from four months ago, furnace stocks are reported increasing and prices rather weak. The considerable volume of hand-to-mouth buying, however, presupposes that consumers stocks are well down. In structural and bridge material the feature is the placing of the contract for the new East river bridge, which calls for nearly 70.000 tons. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4.202.S55 bu, against 4,433,1G7 last week. 5.2G5.634 in the corresponding week of im f nd 4,720,in5 In KM.

I., Aug. 10. Of late I have been reading a great many speeches and opinions and letters of anti-expansionists, and I can't conceive why it is that men of so much brains as Bryan, Lentz, Bacon and others can get up before the people and expose their Ignorance as they do. Why, it doesn't take people of more than average common sense to see whero th Philippines are going to be of unlimited benefit and value to the United States and the people at large. Copies of clippings of speeches of American anti-expansionists printed in Tagalo, Bical and Spanish are found quite often In the lnsurrecto lines, and as long as this continues the American soldiers will have to be kept here in force. Why? Because these islands belong to Uncle Sam and are paid for, not only In cash, but by the lives of the American soldiers, and we are not a nation known as giving up what rightfully belongs to us. The resources of the Philippines, although undeveloped, afford vast opportunities for American capital to develop them and start their future. It is sure to be a paradise after a few years of American training and business energy. American cotton and wool can find a market in the Philippines; also farming implements of all kinds. Railroads and means of transportation are badly needed; also steel and iron bridges and bridge iron have an unlimited market for the next twenty-live years to come. Capital Invested hero now, If properly looked after, will treble in five years, and there are endless opportunities for investments. Hard woods are to be found along the mountain slopes and the hills, which, if proper machinery and transportation were available, would be one of the bestpaying investments in this Island. There is said to be gold in the mountains which could bo mined at a very handsome profit. It is well adapted to cattle raising in the foothills, and some good stock is . to be seen occasionally which is owned by a few natives. There is a German here who has a large cattle ranch a few miles from this place, who verities my statement along that line. There Is vast opportunity for professional men to locate here, such as doctors, dentists, lawj'ers, civil engineers, school teachers, etc. The opportunities here, if developed along the many business lines offered and after a few years of American training, will make it a perfect paradise for the people who locate here. The people, or natives, are now adopting the American ways and dress, and it will be only a matter of a few years when these people will bo able to govern and take charge of the minor details of self-government, but to remove troops from here at this time would mean almost the destruction of people in general. I might go Into some of the smaller details about the many chances of fortune which our possessions In the far Rast present, but this I do not deem necessary. I should like very much to be at home to cast my vote for my old regimental commander. Colonel Durbln, but as it is going to be impossible I wish the Republican ticket success at home, and also the whole ticket, from McKinley to the end. CHARLES C. DORITY.
