THE OUTLOOK IN IRON BRIGHT. FeTtrish Speculation in Cotton Is the Worst Feature Xow. TOEEIGX TRAFFIC NOT SATISFACTORY Kew TOKk, Oct 7. K. G. Dun & Ca, In their weekly review of trade, say: The first week of October shows more activity, in spite of the near approach ot the Presi dental election. Business is distinctly bet ter at the South on account of the improve ment in the price of cotton, more active at the West with improved crop prospects and only lightly retarded at the East. The expected reaction from the extreme low price of ootton helps business at the South. In general, speculation has disturbed legiti mate trade much less during the past quar ter than is usual at this season, although the transactions in cotton have been ex ceedingly heavy. At Pittsburg manufactured iron is quite active and in large demand at well sup ported prices, while business in glass is fair; but a strike of coal miners embarrasses the Monongahela trade. An Encouraging Iron Outlook. The iron industry is doing welL Xot withstandinj the resumption of work by many establishments which were idle a long time on account of strikes, the con sumption of pig iron apparently exceeds the production, and the demand gives a de cidedly stiffer tone to the market Bar iron is still disappointing, and rails are very dull, but the demand for structural iron keeus the works busy and plates are surprisingly active. Perhaps the textile industries were never more prosperous than they are now, lor while prices were remarkably low the demand for goods is large and urgent aud the works are crowded with orders. Rub ber goods works are busy. It is not a satisfactory symptom that the speculation in cotton is enormous, sales at this city amounting to 1,239,600 bales last week, with an advance ot a cent in price. Exports of cotton are not large, and of all domestic products the value exported last week was only 5,853,452, against f9.768.9S9 last year. Considering the great increase in imports ot merchandise the state of Jor eign trade is hardly encouraging. i3usiness failures occurring throughout the country during the past seven days number 220, compared with 208 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 270. The "Week In Wall Street. Eradstrect'i says; Speculative attention during the past week has been mainly ab sorbed by special movements, such as that in the stock of the New York and New England Railroad. The general tendency of prices has taken, on the whole, an up ward direction, and if the market has lacked spontaneity it has certainly exhibited a widening'tendencv, which, iu the opinion of the street at large, should lead to better and more activs conditions in the near lutnre. The controlling feature of the situation seems to be that the influences which have restricted speculation and depressed prices are passing away. Some attention is paid to the nrnier tendency ot" money, but it is remarked that no tangible evidence is yet forthcoming of any squeeze in rates which should aflect prices. " On the other hand, the fear of gold exports, which has weighed so heaulv upon speculative activity, is now practically out of the way, and thequestion is openly discussed whether within a com parativelr short period a return flow of specie will not set in from Europe to this country. The lact that the corn crop ib now out of danger, and that current reports point to a much larger aggregate yield than tins been hitherto indicated, has also some influence, while it is believed that Western railroads, together with their trunk line connections, are enjoying a traffic the volume ot which compares favorably even with the excep tional freight movement of last autumu. rittsburg Hghth in the Bank Race.
