WEEKLY STOCK MARKET REVIEW. NEW YORK.

Uaoldatton as VB.K" ,11 oiihoueh the move- shoe factories have been running on reduced time.
Trade is unchanged at Halifax, but throughout Nova Scotia the fruit crop Is satisfactory and the hay crop exceptionally good. Bank clearings at Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, and Halifax amount to 118,608,000, a falling off of more than 5 per cent, from last week, but an increase of nearby 4 per cent, from the week a year ago. There were 43 business failures reported from the Dominion of Canada this week, against 88 last week, 47 In the week a year ago, 27 two years ago, and 34 three years ago. KBW YORK, Sept. 21.
B. O. Dun Company's Weekly Review of Trade eay: In those departments ot industry and trade in which the deferred business and the demand for replenishment of stocks have not been exhausted, there is obvious improvement, and in some the business is not only larger than last year, but larger than two years ago. In others the exhaustion of the temporary demand has been disappointing, because It was smaller than wm expected, and because the remaining demand appears light. In the aggregate, business is about a tenth larger than last year, but still falls about 25 per cent, below a full volume for the season.
The Iron business, after its great Increase of output last month, shows disappointing weakness at all Eastern and Central markets, with consumption not large enough to keep fairly employed the mills in operation. In boots and shoes the demand continues large, with many sales from stocks and orders for quick delivery and other indications that replenishment of stocks Is not yet completed. In textile fabrics there has been a distinct decrease in trade, as initial stocks for the next season have been ordered, and dealers are now waiting for the retail trade to give encouragement for further purchases. The lull in trade may be only-temporary, but It is felt the more as It follows the crowding of orders for several months Into a few weeks. A large auction sale of silks has resulted in satisfactory firlces.
The demand for woolen dress goods better and will occupy some mills until December, but In most lines the. woolen business is restricted. Foreign trade does not yet answer expectations. The money markets continue easy, but there is somewhat better demand for commercial loans and for Western and Southern needs.

NEW YORK. Sept. 21. (Special.) Today's stock market was Irregular. Its opening tone was firm and In -some stocks, even In the Grangers, there were advances over yesterday's closing figures.
This was, however, wholly caused by the purchases of petty speculators, for neither the larger market Interests nor London houses made any demonstration. The news of the Rock Island quarterly dividend reduction from one to one half of one per ceut. turned most of these surface speculators luto sellers, for. as has already been noticed, most" of these financiers have reckoned on a full Rook Island dividend. That they should to-day have broken uown tue price of both Rock Island and of the other Granger stocks Is as natural as It is unimportant- The average board-room speculator pins his faith to companies like the older Atchison, whose managers, themselves imbued with Wall Street notions, distribute dividends up to the very brink of the financial precipice.
Auother effectual motive for to-day's operations was the traders' longing for something active in the market. This forlorn search for adventure brought the whole professional contingent Into the Granger stocks, to the exclusion of pretty much the entire outside market. At the close, however, weakness was general. The true significance of the Rock Island dividend reduction rests not in the actual saving for the quarter that figures up barely $250,000 but In its clear intimation that the Company's management will in the present situation follow the principles of sound and conservative finance. A declaration of the full October dividend would have worked double mischief; la one direction by awakening false hopes, In another by its own actual abandonment of true economy.
The directors have taken tnut course whlou notliies the inviting public, that it appreciates nnd is ready properly to face the needs of the situation. J1 8 en moreover, a somewhat novel sight in the course of such a move as this is the absence of the Rock Island "Insiders prior to their action on the dividend, from the spoculatlve market. Tuev may well congratulate themselves on figuring in no such soBIal as surrounded the St. Paul -Insiders when those experienced speculators passed their dividend in ISNs. in til this week practically all of the year peremptory dry goods sales the real test of that market condition have resulted In heavr sacrifice of value.
The jKi.0iW.Ukki blanket sale of April will especially be recalled, when a forced reduction of 15 to 30 per cent, from previous market prices utterly demoralized the trade. It is this fact which lends special slguincanee to yesterday's auction sale of silks, the result of which was In advance assumed as a proper index of general trade condition. Judged on this basis, the very free distribution of the goods of yesterday and Wednesday, at prices averaging 15 to per cent, above last season's levels is a trade indication of considerable consequence. The very fact that this sale nxe values for the entire coining season" shows that In one important branch of commercial trade confidence in revived activity has returned.

21. Arrived Nestor. taKen itl, nd the mints were largely nianlrtI7e, and short interest furnished the hasls for rallies from the lowest prices. urn.u..n..-C however, had little effect on raUroad stocks or on the general s-ock list. There is still an absence of public interest, while London fallB to show any favor toward American stocks.
The professional interests which control the market are generally bearish, bu cannot apparently force ah- fmn of real stock at present. As a result attempts to Scores quotations for rnilrcid shares resulted In an Increased short interest and supplied spasmodic buying, which en eked any marked decline The reduction of the Rock Island's Quarterly dividend from 1 per cent, to one half that figure resulted, however, in a sharp depression of the Granger railroad stocks, although the extr-'tne decline had everv appearance of a raid by the bear traders. The decline In Distillers from 14 to 0 (the lowest price the stck ever touched) was partly manipulative. At the same time the situation of the Company in conjunction with the outstanding rebate vouchers Is regarded as critical. Kmphnsls was given to this by the resignation of Mr.
Nelson Morris, an original director aivl one of the few capitalists of standing connected with the onnnv Personal differences with other members or tne manacemem urr nm dictated his course, but rumors were afloat that other changes In the personnel would occur, while the decline In the price natural-lv caused fears that a receivership Is In prospect. The Incorporation of a new distributing company silso promises to create additional competition for the Company. The short Interest in the pri-e was, however, sufficient to rallv the stork to 11 3-S. The manipulation In was evidently for lower The stocks sold on Monday, which took four ier cent, from the price and after selling at 102 on Monday, morning it was allowed to decline to 00 3-4. The bear oarty were active in the movement, and covering of shorts caused a rally on Friday to 97 The pool, however, appeared to have withdrawn all support, and It is stated thaf lower prices are favored by the insider? In view of the approaching elections.
In which the question of "trusts" will piny a part, nnd of the probable attempt to pass the bill reducing lined mgar to the free list. It Is also alleged that the oonijwtltlon of foreign ref.ned sugar under the present tariff Is affecting the Company's operations. Chicago Gas. too, has been under bearish manipulation, the developments including one of the fatnlllar applications for a receivership of the separate oomi'anles. This, it Is claimed, was part of the bear programme, and the selling which carried the price from 72 down to 67 l-4e was based upon previous knowledge of the Application.
The insiders seem, however, to have supported the stock and forced the bears to as the price advanced rapidly on Thursday to 71 l-4c. Chicago interests, however, tire bearish on the property and stress upon the fact thit tho new competing company. Jthe. Cnl-versal Gas Company, is proceeding to establish a large plant. The other Industrials were not prominent: though Cordage was nn-steadv and General Electric fell 1-'2o on the adverse decision of the Cnited States Court in the "Feed and Main" patent cose.
The railroad list has. as already stated, been steady. In the face of the efforts of the bear" to depress them, and did not sympathise with the weakness of tbe Industrials. The large short Interst and the scanty offerings of real stock seem responsible for "this. Burlington, for Instance, declined a point from 75 7-Re, but rallied to 70 1-rv.
and St. Paul, after fnll-lbK from to 64 3-4c. recovered to Ofi 3-4c. The question of whether the Koek Island i comnanv wouiii declare the regular I per cent, quarterly dividend or a reduced nmomt. was subject of much discussion, but the stock after a decline from 04 3-4e to Clc.
advanced to 4 l-4c nnd remained steady ct nrovnd that figure, rising to on' Friday, when the announcement of the red icCen alrendv referred t. caused a sudden decline to CO at which figure the stock closed on Friday. The sneeinlttes have been neglected. Western I'nlon declined with falling from 01 to 80 3-8o. Rending was depressed from 21 5-S to 10 l-8c on the announcement that the reorganization plan will include nn Assessment on both the stock and the Junior Itonds.
The latter were also depressed, but after selling bv people who had bought on anticipation that an assessment would he avoided had ev- hnnsteel itself; buying support appeared and the stock rallied again.

More trade is quiet tnrotignout, ouiy a moderate nuuioer vimuuk uun uvmg around, and their operations cviuently con-hued to meeting current requirements. Trade on the road is also comparatively quiet, tue orders from salesmen and otners being neither so numerous nor so voluminous as a short time ago. And yet from the diliereut prominent distributing centers reports come of a decidedly hcalmy business hi progress, whilst urgent demands fr immediate shipment of recent purchases come to hand with every mall and frequently by telegraph. There Is a disposition in some quarters to exaggerate the tailing off from recent activity, out in doing this the fact Is overlooked that even ln seasons of gooi normal trade the primary market Is nearly always dull Just now, and that, as it is, the majority of houses will supplement their excellent August business by an unusually good record for September. Buyers must have time to move off Uequirod sup-', plies to some extent, but there are solid rea- sons for believing that these supplies will.
far frm adequate to meet the consumptive demand between now and the close of the fall season THE GENERAL TRADE. NEW YORK, Sept. 21 Bradstrect's says: The condition of general trade this week is nn improvement over a week ago ln that favorable features reported then nave been maintained. The surprisingly good reports of business Sou i It and. with some exceptions, Wtst are tndicnted by s-peclal advices from P.aiti-mote.
Cbicigo. St. Loals. Portland. San Baltimore Jibbers in all leading lines report tne volume of merchandise distributed in excess of expectation, especially dry goods ln South Carolina, Oeorgla.
and Alabama, except tn fruit and coal regions. Other Southern products being In good supply, orders continue liberal and mercantile collections easy. Nashville, while reporting no Improvement over favorable features made last week, notes their continuance and that collections are prompt. One sale is reported of tons of Southern pig iron this week. Activity reported ln almost all lines at Chicago a week ago is continued, merchants being satisfied with the volume.
Far Western buyers who used to buy In Eastern markets are purchasing stocks at Chicago. Greatest activity Is shown in dry goods, clothing, millinery, nnd shoes. Wool, too, is active, one lot of TUO.OW pounds having been sold to a Rhode Island manufacturer." St. Louis manufacturers and Jobbers of clothing and hats report business heavier tnan ln their preceding experiences in like periods. Sales of millinery and dry goods are large, as well as those of lumber.
The season's shipments of wheat from Portland. and San Francisco have begun. General trade at larger cities on the Pacific Coast has Improved ln leading lines. Receipts of lsska salmon have been very heavy and exports promise to be correspondingly large. The fsvorable features of trade which characterize the large areas are corroborated by the bank clearings total for the week S1KMMJO.Uikj, or 5.4 per cent, more than last week, 12 per cent, larger than In the third week'of Septemoer, lJft3.
but 24 per cent, smaller tnan in the like week of Another favorable feature Is found In larger sales of steel rails by Northwestern mills to Western railroad companies and by increased demands by railroads for car iron and the like. Heverses are seen in the increase of production of pig Iron last month, when It overtook dpmand, depressing prices. Bessemer pig has sold off. as have steel billets. Heavier exports of wheat from New York City.
San Francisco, and Montreal have further increased the-weekly total of wheat (and floor as wheat exported from both coasts of the United States and Canada within six days, such total being 3,537.000 bushels. Last week the like aggregate- waa 2.7Sil,0O0 bushels. There are 218 business failures reported ln the Cnitea States this week, against 223 last General trade is less active at Toronto than last week, due to demands for fall stocks having been satisfied. General trade at Montreal is -fairly steady ln tone, and prices of most staples are rtxoncer. At Ouebec city the United States, against 321 last year, and In Canada 48, against 40 last year.
