generally found to be exaggerated. Onr
gold shipments to New York last year during the montlis of
October and November were something less than one million
and a quarter sterling. It is difficult to understand how they
can be much heavier this year. The New York Associated
Ban^s at the corresponding periotl in 1834 had an excess
reserve of £5,660,000, but now the total roughly exceeds ten
millions sterling, and it may be presumed that the difference
will have to be absorbed and the value of money in America
enhanced before export operations in bullion from hence
will be appreciably stimulated.
Wheat also, whatever may
be its ultimate value, is distinctly lower than last year,
wliilst
shipments fall naturally below what was then
regarded as the average.
Hence our indebtedness to
America on account of food stuffs promises to be not so great
in the immediate future as was the case in the corresponding
and the usual inquiry for corn for
Last year at this time the stock of bullion in the
Bank of England was, as stated, practically the same as now,
namely, £22,869,000, and by the close of November it had been
reduced to £20,179,000, with the Bank rate advanced to 5 per
cent. We may now anticipate some rise in the rate before
long, but it is doubtful whether last year's level will be
reached, or that our bullion supplies, omitting the Egyptian
demand, will be drawn upon to more than an average extent.

The weather has been very broken, and all field work has
been more or less hindered. The rains, however, are welcome,
and the loss they may have caused through delaying the completion of the harvest is more than counterbalanced by the
gain to the roots and pastures. The agricultural outlook has
not varied appreciably during the week.
As was expected, the steadiness in the grain trade is,developing, and were there any real life in the markets we should
no doubt speedily witness a distinct improvement. As it is
affairs move very slowly.
It is, however, encouraging to
know that there appears to be an end to the forced selling,
which threatened to bring about some disorganization. The
change in the weather has improved the tone, and has caused
holders to keep back their grain. Wheat at Mark Lane can
hardly be said to have quotably altered, but more money has
been occasionally paid in the provincial markets, and
a stronger tendency is certainly being fostered. Buyers are
50,000 qrs. short of last year. The average so far is only
31s. Sd., against 348. Id. in 1884 a difference in favor of
that year of 2b. 5d. per qr. but there are indications that we
are on the eve of better times for the growers and not a bit
too soon, as they have had important difficulties to surmount
recently. It is curious to notice the effect of the first forced
sales of the new crop upon the value of wheat.
This year the
imperial average price for the week ended September 5 was

"The Science of Business; a Study of the Principles.
Controlling the Laws of Exchange," bv Roderick H.
Smith, has just been issued by Messrs. Cf. P. TPutnam's Sons.
The aim of this volume is to demonstrate that ceriain natural
laws which govern in the physical world may also be found
to prevail in the affairs of commerce, and that thu9 from the
experiences of the past we may read the future. The author
takes for consideration various branches of trade, and with
the aid of tables and diagrams shows what has been their
respective histories.
We are led to conclude that commercial
movements are in the line of least resistance that they arerhythmic
that these rhythms complete themselves in
approximately equal times, and such will be their course in
the future. Sir. Smith aims at being practical he tells us
'•
that if the lessons which we learn from the collection and
arrangement of statistics are not to be of some value to U9, we
had best discontinue the expense and labor of their collection"; and so he gives us his forecast of what may bo expected

latter for October delivery, and buying for the distant months
had become pretty general; but Wednesday was unsettled and
closed lower. Tlie Roumelian troubles were again reported to
threaten serious complications, the weather liad l)ecome warm
and clear, and the crop n-ovement assumed more liberal proportions.
Yesterday a firmer opening was followed by a
slight decline without active influences. Today an easier
opening was followed by an advance, which was attributed
Mis.sisisippi,

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
exhibited some spiiit during the (irst half of the week under
review, and there was a considerable improvement in values.
The foreign advices were favorable. Ijiverpool was firmer and
advanced, and Manchester more active. It seemed probable
that the Roumelian troubles would find a peaceful solution.

than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts
or Southern consumption they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the outports.

The above statement shows 1. That the total receipts from
the plantations since September 1, 1885, were 491,160 bales;
in 1384 were 457,928 bales; in 1883 were 573,348 bales.
2.
That, although the receipts at tlie outports the past week
were 159,663 bales, the actual movement from plantations was
179,093 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at
the interior towns. Last year the receipts from the plantations
for the same week were 183,063 bales and for 1883 they were
197,219 bales.

Amount op Cotton in Sight Oct. 2.—In the table below
we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add
to them the net overland movement to Oct. 1, and also the
takings by Southern spinners to the same date, so as to give

The market to-day was steady.
The wheat market has been variable and unsettled. The
speculation has shown considerable activity, and local millers
have been buyers to a moderate extent; but the export trade
was small, Eirly in the week there was a heavy selling movement in futures. There was a disposition to realize profits
accruing from the late advance, and the "short interest" was
increased to a moderate extent. Under these influences prices
fell off about three cents a bushel.
But on Wednesday the
warlike reports from Eastern Europe caused an early decline
to be quickly recovered, and not only this, the clo."e was at a
considerable advance. Yesterday, there was a further advance
in futures from the same cause. To-day futures were easier,
under sales to realize, but spots were firmer, the sales for
export embracing 40,000 bushels No. 2 Cbicago spring at 91e.,

Oats have been active for speculation, but prices have risen
slowly. The home trade is only moderate, and exporters have
moved less freely, while supplies present and prospective are
very large. To-day the market was firm and fairly active.

Indian corn has met with an active export demand and a
brisk trade. The speculation in futures has also shown considerable spirit, but the buying demand has been fully met,
and it was found impossible to obtain definitely better prices.
This market has quite given over its recent practice of moving
in sympathy with wheat. Yesterday there was marked
strength in the more distant futures, and No. 3 mixed sold for

good shape, and prices are mostly steady
and unchanged.
Domestic Cotton Goods. Ths exports of cotton goods for
the week ending Sept. 29 were 1,585 packages, of which 639
were shipped to U. S. of Colombia, 3-36 to Great Britain, 193
to Hayti, 88 to Venezuela, &c., making the total shipments
from this port since January 1st 144,917 packages, against
93,671 for the corresponding time last year, and 107,637 in
1883. Staple cotton goods ruled quiet in first hands, and the
jobbing trade was irregular, and upon the whole sluggish, but
the tone of the market remained steady, and there was no
pressure to force goods upon reluctant buyers. Light cotton
fabrics, as plain and fancy white goods, were more active, and
some very good orders were placed in this connection by large
jobbers and the manufacturing trade. Print cloths were
quiet in demand and easy, on the basis of Sigc. less 1 per
cent for 6ix64s and 2 13-16c. for 56x603. Prints were in light
request, and slight concessions were made on "off-style" fancies, but the best work continued steady in price.
Ginghams
were in fair demand, and leading dress styles have become
very scarce in first hands. Cotton dress goods were distributed
in fair quantities, and some very good orders were placed for
fine spring and summer knit underwear.
Domestic Woolen Goods. The demand for woolen goods
has been somewhat irregular, and upon the whole less active

move in fair quantities on account of back orders, and a moderate amount of new business was done in spring cassimeres,

cels to a fair amount.
and there was a fair business in Jersey cloths, tricots, ladiesj'
soft wool suitings and all-wool dress fabrics. Tne
for flannels and blankets was adversely affected by
unfavorable weather conditions, and both shawls and skirts
were quieter, but prices ruled firm on all the above goods.

In wool hosiery and knit underwear there was a good steady
movement, and leading makes are largely sold in advance of
production.
Foreign Dry Goods— At first hands the demand for imported fabrics has been chiefly of a hand-to-mouth character,
the prevailing warm weather having checked operations to
some extent. Silks, velvets and dress goods were in moderate
request, and there was a steady call for worsted suitings for
men's wear. Linen goods, white goods, laces and embroideries
were in light demand, and considerable quantities of velveteens were sold through the auction rooms.

There was only a moderate movement in dry goods the past
week, the demand for heavy winter fabrics having been
materially checked by the unseasonably warm
weather which
prevailed in wide sections of the country. The domestic
commission houses continued to make considerable deliveries
on
account of previous transactions, and some very fair
orders
for spring goods were booked for future delivery;
but operations in fall and winter fabrics were restricted
in volume.
Business in jobbing circles has relapsed into a comparatively
quiet condition, because of the unfavorable 'state
of the
weather, which has caused near-by retailers to defer
their
purchases until later on. As a rule, distributers
are inclined
to take a cheerful view of the situation,
and the recent lull in
the demand is regarded with complacency,
in view of the
renewed activity that will doubtless b*j developed
as soon as
the temperature becomes low
enough to stimulate the demand
for consumption. Stocks of
