WORKING FORCE IS FAST INCREASING Iran and Steel Market Still Active Wools ml Woolens Militated Aaratnst by tMIld Weather Hides on the Rise. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. n. O, Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: With reasonable promptness business is recovering In both uctlvlty nnd tone, and fortunately without tho sharp rise In gen eral prices which was seen In tho sprln.T, and which was followed by n sudden and serious transition to a more natural runso. Manufactured poods are rising It- response to a belter demand frjat distributing sources, helped at tho end of tin weak by the more seasonable weather. Business Is not what It whs tin tho ton of the wave of Industrial prosperity, but tho working force !. fast increasing. The ordinary measures of business tellect operations nt all potnU, but the textile markets nro nt tho point of least responso to thu Improved updertono or trade. Ricltal of conditions In tho Iron nnd steel market has becomo a monotonous reposi tion. Lach week there Is the x.tmo record of activity so generally distributed tint everything, from tho raw material to the finished product, enjoys a share. There la also tho same freedom from speculative .tf cmnu atlon In anticipation of fancy prices thru has been for weeks tho most encour nglng foaturo. Railroad coinpnulcr compete for rolling stock. Export order.? In some lines are tilled with dlillcully, owing to the inusuul domestic demand ror nil forms of iron and steel products. I tit In no quarter In there tiny unreasonable inflation of prices mich as was seen during the meteorlr as cent last year, in a few descriptions prlrc ;m export orders nrj shaded to hold tho business. Two factors militate strongly ngalnst nc tlvlty nnd strength In wool and woolei's Mild weather bus been tho chief udvorso influence, reducing sales far below n nor mal volume. In this vicinity, while llqtilda. uon or embarrassed concerns threatens to throw a considerable quantity on tho mnr ket til forced sales, in tho light or thao dltquletlng features It It not surprising that sales of wool at tho three chlor eastern nifirkets declined to 6,351.331 pounds, ngalnat TtPvTL P"ns In tho week preceding nnd lJ,SiO,392 pounds a yenr ago. Hides contlnuo to rise, regardless of tho largest arrivals of cattlo at Chicago In many years. Leather has ceased to follow tho advance In tho hide market and most grades ot boota nml shoes nro at the prices prevailing two months ago, except for a gain of 2H cents In men's satin shoes and split nnd kip boots. Considering tho ad vance or over 10 per cent In hlde In theso two months, tho gain In the finished prod.uu Is Inslgnlllcunt, but every attempt to secure higher prices ends negotiations for sales nnd It Is necessary to tako orders at old rates or close thi shops. Undnunted by recent reverses, specula tors In cotton advanced tho prlco about $3.60 a halo In ten days. Receipts have been of moderate volume, but the slzo of tho current crop cannot bo approximated by any ordinary system of averages this year, owing to the ample funds In the hands of planters, enabling them to hold back much of their crop. Estimates havo fallen below 10.0oo.000 bales because of the slow mAve mcnt nnd this fact, together with last month's record-breaking vnluo of export.?, forms tho basis of present prices. October shipments am unlikely to bo equaled again, whllo sales of noxt September's options nt 9 cents do not tako Into account plans for a largo Increase In ncrcage next year. Con sumption decreases on account of the high price, northern spinners hnvlnp taken 160. (10 bales less than last year to dato, whllo British exports of cotton cloths In vtoaer were IS per cent less than In 1S99, atul of cotton goods 33 per cent smnller.

Bradstreet,'s to morrow will say: Unsettled weather conditions havo oper ated to curtHll retail and Jobbing distribu tion this week, and Imparted a quieter tone to several lines Indirectly assoclate-d there with. Stock speculation, too, has been less rampant, nnd last week's record of bank clearings has, therefore, not been equalled. Thero Is. however, llttlo or no apparent loss of bnslo strength, and, Indeed, the general level of staple prices has been slightly advnnced. This latter movement Is moat notable In the Iron and steel trades, In raw cotton nnd to a lesser degreo In the cereals and soma hog products, In murine shipping circles a distinct Im provement Is reported since the llrst week of November, while tho volume of busi ness In pig Iron Is still largo It does not ap parently como jp to that of last week or tho week previous. No disappointment Is, however, telt at this, inoro particularly us quotations havo ugaln been marked up. Reports of preparations to resumo como from many plants for somo time Idle and a sample Instance Is tho report that every furuaco In tho Chicago Held wl'.I bo at work next week. Reports from Pittsburg nro that demand for steel billets Is still backward, not so much because of the prlco demanded $19.60 but because of It being tlxed by the pool nt that rate. Foun dry pig Is. however, active nnd tending higher. What the market for cruder forms lucks In the way of activity, however, Is mad a up for by the lmmcnso demnnd for Mulshed products, which Is reported In ex cess of all records for this period. Plates aro active, us aro structural and car ma terial, wire, bars and In fact nil classes of llnlshed material, not excepting rails, which nro reported being freely tnken by western railroads nt the much abused $26 basis. Other mcta'.s, notably copper, aro strong. Tin Is again tending upward. Tho strength of primary markets and light receipts, actual and predicted, have been the basis of the ndvanco of ?a shown In spot cotton this week. More speculative Interest has been taken, but events proved that a bullish circular from a heretoforo rather bearish source had been ulreudy discounted. Cotton growers have evidently been holding back, and somo still talk of 10c as a minimum, but receipts show a Blight gain toward tho close of tho week. Collections south havo certainly been In terfered with somewhat by tho holding movement. The advance In raw material has stiffened somo mokes of brown cottons nnd prints, and glnghom quotations havo also been marked up. Rather moro strength has been exhibited by cerea's. Cash wheat Is slightly higher, partly on the belief that somo real damage has been Intllc'ed In Argentina, but mainly because tho supply suitable for export Is really limited at the seaboard. Corn receipts havo been of generally low grado nnd tho. No vember option has been cornered at Chi cago. Better weather Is looked for to lm provo both the volume nnd quality of re ceipts, and In the meantlmo visible stocks are well down to minimum. Wheat, Including flour, shipments for tho week aggregated 3,827,290 bu., against 4,002, 020 last Week, 3,688.677 III tho corresponding week of 1899, 5,821,766 In 1898, G,463,153 In 1897 nnd 3,753,696 In 1896.

Nov. 23. Tho slump of Steel nnd Wlro of 4U points Just nt tho closo of tho trading last ovenlng wns universally re garded as a danger. Spcculatlvo men came down to Wall street In a mood suggestllng depression and reaction. Tho first sugges tion came In tho form of a further break of 3 points In Steel nnd Wire. Apparently no moro effective point could havo been se lected nt which to attack tho market. This was known from previous experiences with this particular stock. Tho iron and steel traders aro supposed to have had most to hopo and In fact actually to havo en Joyed most of tho benefits of tho revival of business nnd Industry. Tho midden weak ness ot Steel nnd Wlro did not raise any doubts of the reports heretoforo accepted of tho prosperous conditions In that trado and the excellent prospects for tho future, but' It did arouso serious apprehension of 11 determination on tho part of some of tho steel magnates to enter upon a course of slashing competition nnd to unsettlo tho trade, ns they havo already proved them Kelves abundantly nblo to do. Tho wldo reaching effect such nn outbreak of hos tilities In tho nteel trado may bo measured by tho degreo of apprehension exhibited by holders of long mock today. Tho stool stocks themselves wero most Immediately affected, but heavy declines nro shown In nlmosl overy department of tho stock list. Tho shnrp effect produced was duo in part, of course, to tho extended speculative ac counts held all through tho market. Tho purposo of tho bear maneuver was palpably to dlslodgo these holdings. They succeeded very well In doing this. As tho decllno In prices extended, , tho offerings incrcuscd. Thoso stocks In "Which tho recent specula tion for the advance has been most actlvo wero naturally tho most nffected. Tho local traction stocks, tho grangers, tho Pnclllcs and Baltimore & Ohio wero tho most prom inent In tho downward movement. Sugar was freely sold on tho cut In prices of re fined sugar nnd coffee, which Boomed to threaten a rcnownl of tho trado war. But tho stock was very feverish at all times. Prnctlcally tho only effective reslstence of fered to tho decline was In tho early deal ings. Now Y'ork Central and Chesapeake & Ohio showed continued strength nt that time, New York Central rising 1 over Inst night. An effort wns also mado to boom Amalgamated Copper on tho occasion of Its llrst being dealt In tho list of tho exchange, but tho llrst price, which was 99H, was tho highest. Tho price subse quently fell back to 97. compared with 9SH In tho curb market last night. Tho fre quent rallies during tho day, when room shorts wero taking quick profits, showed tho professional bear character of tho at tack on tho market. But the buying de mand seemed not to extend beyond tho short Interest and tho market quickly lost animation on tho rallies. Tho closing Itself was wavering and uncertain, but at con siderably nbove tho lowest for many stocks. Thero was nothing In tho money market to causo apprehension, rates ruling at 3H per cent or lower practically all day. Tho re ceipts of gold from tho Paclliu coast In sure a good Increase In ensh reserves for tomorrow'H bank statement, although tho net receipts from tho Interior In tho ex press movement show a considerable fall ing oft trom laBt week. An expansion In loans Is expected on account of tho specu lative activity, but tho easiness of the money mnrket Is evidence that tho position or tho money markets Is not materially weakened. There were firm spots In tho bond market, but railroad bonds, as a whole, wero af fected by sympathy with tho reactionary movoment In stocks, Totnl sales, par value, $2,453,000.

Week Marked by General Speculation nnd Enormous Investment. NEW YORK. Nov. SS.-Briidstrect's Financial Review tomorrow will say: A continuance of the lnrge transactions, which liullcnto the presence of nubile par ticipation In speculation and of enormous Investment purchnses, Is tho principal feature In tho stock market. Tho tone has generally been strong, but the market has had Intervals of Irregularity and has also shown at times a reactionary tendoncy. This last was duo mainly to profit taking, though some renewal or short sales by pro fessional operators was noted, nnd It fs alao evident thnt ns the market has spread out and advanced tho number of weak speculi tlvo accounts nnd stop orders hoa Increased, thereby rendering It even, has not materi ally diminished the bullish liability to sud den nnd sharp fluctuations, The notion of the money market. In view of tho remarkable ndvances that havo ac companied the phenomenal activity, Is re carded ns 11 principal In favor of the bull3, With trading at tlio New York Stock ex change prnctlcally exceeding $1,000,000 a day for tho entire period slnco election, there Is no symptom of prcsiure In tho money mnrket, Somo hesitancy about ncceptlng Industrials as collateral for loans Is notoJ, but call money has not risen above 44 or G rer cent, but 4 per cent or less seems to havo been the rates nt which uccommoda tlon to carry standard rtoeks could bo ob tained. Tho fact that the Item of loans In Inst Saturday's bank statement Increassd only somo $2,000,000 was at llrst regarded with surprise, but tho explanation offered for It Is thnt a great proportion of tho pur chases of stocks nnd -bonds made by com mission houses aro In the nature of Invest ments, tho securities being paid for nnd taken out of tho loun market. This process brought money to Now Y'ork, and nt tho samo time reduces the volume of outstanJ lug loans to an extent which largely offsets tho Increased tipcculatlvo borrowings. Eu rope has to some extent been a buyer of stocks nt concessions this week, probably to meet calls on Americans put out In I.on don prior to the election. Tho effect of this, however, has not overcome the previous largo foreign Miles, which have been suffi cient to hold up foreign exchange rates nt a level considerably above tho old Import ing point. Tho conlldenco of our own pub Ho In tho financial nnd business situation Is, however, so general nnd marked that Europe's position continues to bo regarded with Indifference, nnd In tho purchasing power which nsserts Itself at nil concessions or reactlona the street finds the best Indi cation that the bull movement In prices Is not exhausted.

There were quite a few fnt cattle, Included In tho re celpts, ami a number of bunches of pretty good stuff. Buyers, however, did not tako hold with much llfo and claimed that prices hero wero too high In comparison witn eastern markets. Sellers were not willing to make nny concessions, und us a result thp market was dull with the tendency of prices lower. Aa compared with the close of "t week it is safe to say that tho ninrkot Is all of 10tW3c lower, the greatest decline being on the commoner grades. The cow market was also very dras.TJ' today. Bids were so uneven and have been all tho week that It is difficult to tell much about what tho market really Is. The best cornfed cows, howover, are not so much lower than they wero a week ago, lOo or 15c probably would cover tho decline, and canners have also hold up In pretty f1,r,-sh.npe' bl!t ,l10 medium kinds aro all of 2oc lower for tho week. Thero was very llttlo life to tho sto"ckor nnd feed trado excopt on tho best heavy yelght feeders, which havo sold In good shapo all tho week, and prices on that class of stuff U very llttlo. lower than It was at the closo of last week. Common kinds, however, nnd anything nt all light or on tho calf order are very slow sale, and probnbly around a quarter lower ror the week. It Is undoubtedly true that stock cattlo can now be bought at as low n flguro as nt any tlmo this season. This Is true cf stock cows nnd heifers, as well as of steers. mere wero quite a row western beef steers on sale this morning, and tho better graues soui just anout steauy, out tho com mon kinds did not bring qulto as good prices as they wero selling for a week ago. What has been said above regarding native cows, heifers, feeders, etc., Is equally applicable to western range cattlo. Representative sales: s BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.
