Above Same Period Last Year General Motors Rose More Than 39 Points NEW YOnif, Oct. 30. Further concrete evidence that business conditions throughout the coun try are Improving Is found In ,tho bank clearings for tho last week. Thero was another tremendous Increase, tho largest since they have been moving Upward. Clearings reached tho total of $4,551,387,318, an Increase of nearly 85 per cent, as compared with tho previous year. All cities contributed to tho expansion, while tho largest was by New York, 133.8. While It must be taken Into consideration that tho Increase In the bank clearings from week to week Is largely tho result of tho Increased business on tho Stock Exchange, yet tho fact must not be lost sight of that general irado conditions are much better than they luvvo been. This Is reflected In tin Increase of the clearings for tho week over tho corresponding period of 1D13 of more than 3D per cent. Reports from various lines of trade are more rosy, and tho outlook, accord ing to many, is very promising. In their review this week tlrndstreel's nay: "The trade and industrial stream Is running fuller, and In some cases Is out of Its banks. Warm weather Is a drawbaclc temporarily to retail trade the country over, but helps the drying of corn tuul tho threshing of wheat, now much delayed. Jobbing trade Is more active, and Industry shows n still speedier pace, with some hitherto lagging lines, such as lumber, especially at tho South, naval stores, coal, Jewelry and shoo manufacturing, reported mak ing better progress." Trading on tho Stock Exchange today was again brisk, with tho Interest centred chiefly In tho railroad shares, as was tho caso throughout tho session yesterday. The opening was strong, and thero was u good all-around demand for stocks. Most attention In tho standard issues wns In United Stntcs Steel common, which crossed SS, lifting It to a new high-record price since 1910 and bringing It within less than seven points of tho highest mark it has ever sold, 9-1T&, reached In 1909. Profit-taking soon put In Its appearance after tho start, and stocks dropped off from their best, and tho market becamo Irregular. Itenewed strength developed In tho last few minutes, and tho closo was strong. By crossing 101 Southern Pacific made a now top since it was divorced from Union Pacillc. Tho widest movement In tho specialties was In General Motors. This stock rose 39 points on a fow transactions. Baldwin and Sludebaker wore also strong, but sold orf later. Uellectlng the larger demnnd for the metal, tho copper shares also showed strength. In connection with Anaconda thero Were reports that tho stock will bo placed on a $0 dividend basis instead of $4, which Is now being paid. Earnings of the company are said to bo running at moro than $25,000,000 per annum. Inquiries for Copper Total 250,000,000 Pounds A good business Is being done in copper, and Inquiries nt tho present time total 250,000,000 pounds. The strong feature In the market Is tho big foreign demand, while tho domestic demand Is also large. Tho price of electrolytic has been advanced by one of tho leading agencies to IS fc cents, and another largo concern has sold at better than IS cents for December delivery. Pro duction during September was as follows: Nevada Consolidated, 0,021,850 pounds; Chino, 5,251,2SG pounds; Utah Copper, 14.153.2S0 pounds, and Kay Consolidated, 5,131,46G pounds.

Following the news of the bis Penn sylvania order for rails and locomotives thnt company announced today that It was In the market for; 6000 moro ears, bringing Its total enr order up to 23,000. This was followed by nn additional order from tho Baltimore and Ohio for 1000 steel hopper cars placed with tho Cam bria Steel Company, making 3000 In ajl for tho 11. nnd O, Tho Heading today also ordered 1000 additional steel under fratno box cars from tho American Car ntul Foundry Company, Other big orders for cars nnd locomotives wero placed this week by tho Now York Centrnt, Norfolk nnd Western, Krle, Dclawaro nnd Lack awanna nnd other Eastern lines, whllo tho Atchison, Missouri, Kansas nnd Texas nnd several more big Western lines placed extensive orders for oMUlpmcnt, It Is estimated that the railroad buying for this month alone will approximate $100,000,000, and It can readily bo seen what this enormous homo expansion means, aside from nny foreign orders, for the Industrial sections of tho country. Meantime tlio Incrcnso In freight earn ings of railways operating cast of Chi cago and Ht.

Western roads, on tho other hnnd, gained $13 per mile, or CO per cent., In passenger earnings, duo to tho Pacllic coast exposition travel, against losses for tho Kast of $19, or 3.C per cent., nnd for the South of $22, or 10.5 por cent. Tho In crease In gross revenues, accompanied by a decrease In oporntlng expenses, resulted In tho largest net lncomo recorded for August In tho history of American nn ways, nnd reached a figure only Vx&JSftl nnco.
