BUSINESS HOT NORMAL
FAILURES FEW.
Volume of Trade CO Per Cent. Below the
Average of the Season.
H. O. Pun A Co.'s weekly review ot trade
Special Inquiry hns been mndn this week
nl ell commercial center regarding n0 'n'8
of retnll trade. Wide diversity nppcnra In
different trade. The main facte disclosed
err: First, marked Improvement within the
past monlh end n considerable execs over
the bu.-lncs done n yeur ago, particularly iu
the necessaries of Hie. Rut, second, It np
penre Hint the volume f trade at present In,
on the whole, considerably less than In ft
normal year, nnd In the more Important
trades la apparently nliout 20 per cent,
mailer than in September, 1H92.
Evidence of continued improvement In
wholesale trade and mainifaeture does not
appear this week. Thero la large dlstrtbu
tlon on order given ionic time ago, but new
tulnes going to the manufacturer la every
where slackening. The completion of ordera
lor replenishment of stock leave a narrower
ileninnd. and It la yet too enrly for consump
tion to provide further orders.
'J he depression in prieea ol farm product
will have some Influence. Unprecedented
recorda have tnen made In cotton and wheat,
though ns to wheat only In contract for fut
ure delivery, In which the price are the low
est ever ttiade. The avallablo stock are
about 15.000.0OO bushel greater thnn a year
n:o, nnd western receipt for the week were
u.2b2.71ti bushel against 6,1111.0:14 Inst year,
and since August I, 61,000,000 nusticis against
K.s.ono.OOO last year. The Atlantic export
for the week anil since August I have been
KlKiut a third smaller than last year, but the
lull in price during the week has been 1 . 7 j
eenl.
Cotton on the spot I lower at 11.44 cent
than at any other time since 14!, and quota
tion then did not menu what they do now,
while the nearest option hns been quoted at
11.04 oenls, which I below all previous record.
Even at the close the fall for tho week is
cent. An estliunte ol H.iuio.Oi'O bales mini
mum this year has Influenced tho market, but
would receive li-s attention II stock In ik"ht
were not heavy, while all agree that thl crop
I likely to exceed tile world' requirements
cl American cotton.
It Is encouraging that the speculation in
corn hn broken, mid the price has fallen A
rente. Ice gloomy eatliniites than these of
the department having gained general ac
ceptance. It 1 now supposed the yield I
not far from 11)0,000, oou bushel, which
will compel much economy In feeding, but
.peculation iu pork lias also broken, and the
price hu fallen 7S cents, while iard hurt de
clined 1-2 cent.
The Iron Industry shows a shrinkage ot de
mand, and the prlcm quoted to-day are but
little above the lowest this year. Iteemer
pig I wenker at HI at Pittsburg, with an
impression that exec of production must
cuuse further decline unless lower price are
made for steel rails. Ilillets. structural forms
nnd nails are a shade wciikr, nnd In eastern
markets competition to get business
tend to destroy prollt. There Is more busi
ness at the West, ami Chicago report a good
demand for sheet, for bnr Iu small lot and
lor coke pig though plates aud boiler tube
are weaker.
The hoot nnd shoe manufacture continue
to lead oilier In comparative activity, and
shipments from lJostou for the month have
been 8.'ia.iiH7 cases, against 222,628 last year,
nnd 32H,i0uln 1 h2.
Fall HP's are few and smnll for the week,
liabilities nmountlng to 5,27H,N25, of which
2.3S2,8IS were of manufacturing and 2,.
t"f,ll. of trading concerns. The failures
during the week have been 239 In the l ulled
ritntca against 334 Inst year, nnd 50 In L'anado
against 33 last year.
