FINAL HOUNDS FOIL CHAMPIONSHIP. Semi of tlic Finest ExlilMtloiifi of DrlvliiK Ever Seen. BALTIMORE , Sept. 15. The two final rounds in the open golf championship began early today. With twenty or more players within hailing distance of Willie Anderson , the leader , there was naturally considerable speculation before the play started as to the outcome of the event. The first pair to drive off were David Hunter u.d James Foulls. The spectators of the match were given an exhibition of some of the finest driving of the two days. At least a dozen of the players reached the 250-yard mark , while a number exceeded It. Gilbert Nichols of Boston drove 275 yards , but the hole cost him five , Lawrence Auchterlonle reached thtf 265-yard mark. Ball of Washington madb 2fO yards , Way 255 yards. Alec Smith 65 yards , and Peter Walker 253 yards. Alee F.rdlay had all the luck on the first hole , for after his ball ptruck the top of the uunker and dropped over , ho holed out In his third shot In a line fifty-yard ap proach. Willie Smith also made the first hole In three , which at once made him a warm favorite , as his total last night was but jne stroke behind the leader , Anderson , it'ever , caught the crowd and a gallery of tir-y btnrted behind him and Herd. An- Jtrrouvat f > hort on his drive , but his second cleared the bunker and he holedi out In the regulation four strokes. Herd , on the other hand , put his second shot nto the bunker , and while he reached the ; reen on hlu fourth , he took three more to lole out , the hole costing him seven , which well nigh ruined lila cfiancw for any ) ur.ia mcney. Young Campbell slicked his llrst ball badly , was short on his second , rolled up within three yards of the hole In three , mused his put and holed out In five. Alee Smith made the hole In a good clean roar and a majority of the players did likewise.

DUN'S ' REVIEW OF BUSINESS August Exports Larger Than Ever Before in the Country's History , NO SIGNS OF A'LETUP IN FOREIGN TRADE rnctN Mny Ultimately Disprove the Government Crop ncport Thin Ycnr nt I.nut Premium * for Ivarlj- Iron , NEW YOnK , Sept. IB. n. 0. Dun & Co's Weekly Rovlow of Trade will eay : Better than all other news , the record of August commerce shows the relation of United States business to that of other countries. Exports were $20,082.875 larger than over before In August , nnd exceeded Imports by W7,920,699 partly because ex ports of staples were $9,366,978 larger than last year , but also becAUse exports of other pioducts , mainly manufacturing , wore $10- 349,000 larger than last yenr , and larger than any other month of any year. Fears that n great advance In prices might shut oft exports of manufactured products have not be n unnatural , and It Is most gratify ing to find that such exports continue and expand. The excess of exports over Im ports gives fair promise of aa large In crease In foreign trade as has ever been scon. That manufactured exports do not fall off , but ore larger than ever la both surprising and gratifying. The volume of business now In progress has never been rivaled. The great movement of grain , In wheat and flour a little larger than lant year In August , and In two weeks of Septem ber , 6,820,273 bushels , flour Included , from Atlantic ports , against 5,423.076 last year , nnd from Pacific ports , 7CG.659 bushels , ngalnst 364,144 , lost year Is far more ef fective In preventing a decline In prices than any official or unofficial Estimate ol yield. Government reports Indicate a wheat crop of only 516,000,000 bushels , bul last year , the September report indicated 585.000,000 bushels and afterward the of ficial return made it 675,000,000 bushels. One would bo surprised to see a like revision this year. The price , In spite of good crops , has fallen U cent , for western receipts have been 13,669.455 bushels In two weeks , against 14,663,895 last year , and corn ex ports , 6,053,212 bushels , against 4,331,331. The feeling Is not unreasonable that foreign needs are Just now well indicated by the corn movement. At this season cotton shipments are al ways small and hopes or fears rule the market , but prices have declined during the week a sixteenth , with a little less buying on foreign account. Extraordinary efforts to Increase the Iron output failed In August partly because the stoppage of a few large furnaces for repairs more than balanced the addition of tmrteen small lurnaccs to tne producing force and partly because hot weather pre vented full production. The reported out put. 267,335 tons , against 267,672 August 1 , with a decrease of 22,347 tons In unsold stocks , indicates a consumption of 1,291,012 tons during the month. Purchases of 60,000 tons Bessemer and 20,000 tons of other iron are reported with nn advance in Bessemer to $23.50 at Pitts-burg , but quotations are wild because of premiums paid for early delivery. Platea at the east nnd common bars at Pittsburg ore $1 per ton higher and wire nails have again advanced $3 per ton. Orders for plates Include several for export , and one for a vessel In the Dfela- ware river , with one for a vesae ! at Pltts burg , and some orders of much Imlportance have been withdrawn at the west on ac count of the delay unavoidable and the high prices charged. The heavy sales of wool. 12,056,900 pounds for the week , and 21,282,100 for two weeks , against 16,629,400 In 1898 , are largely xluo to heavy manufacturing purchases at Bos ton , but there , as elsewhere , the buying is mostly based on expectation that London sales beginning next Tuesday will show an Important advance. Prices here are stiff and the demand for woolen goods of all sorts strong. Failures for -weck.havo been 149 In the United States , against 174 last year , and thirty-two in. Canada , against twenty-three lost year. nUADBTIlEET'S FINANCIAL UEVIEW. Pfcw York. ' " Money Stringency llcally More Fanciful Than Ilenl. NEW YORK , Sept. 11. Bradstreefs Financial Review tomorrow'will , say : Variations between strength' and weak ness in the stock market have been more than usually sharp during the last elx days. A higher call loan market at the beginning of the market caused heavy liquidation of public holdings of stocks and gave oppor tunity for successful bear attacks by pro fessional operators. The decline In prices thus brought about was checked , however , by the somewhat better tone which ap peared In the call loan market on Wednes day , following the announcement that the secretary of the treasury would anticipate payment of October Interest on thio 4 per cent government bonds. Covering by the short dntoroBt , supplementing renewed bull- however , only Thursday afternoon , when the fact that the St. Paul directors made no Increase In the regular 2V4 per cent semi annual dividend on that stock as a part of the street had hoped to command , re sulted In renewed selling of the Granger stocks and some further losses throughout the list. On Friday the settling factor was the continued weakness of Brooklyn Rapid Transit , which , causing declines in other stocks , controlled by tne same Interests , brought about a bearish close. The rise of call loan rates this week was , of course , foreshadowed by the bank state ment of last Saturday. The reduction of th * bank reserve to nearly the legal limits constituted a notice thai should the de mand for funds at tfho Interior continue with anything like Its recent volume , the Now York banks In order to meet It , would be obliged to reduce tihelr outstanding call loans to the stock market. Thin is what occurred this week , though the extent to which banks and other lenders have called In loans was probably exaggerated. The general marking up of the rate of accom modation by bankers to brokerage houses to 6 per cent and the hardening of time loan figures to 55V4 per cent were natural and proper stepo under Uie circumstances. Thie quotations as high as 9 per cent made for call money at the Stock exchange on Tuesday and Wednesday would , however , represent to some extent the temporary over-anxiety of borrowers nnd In a certain degree also , the manipulation of bearish speculative Interests. There was , In fact , no dearth of money nor was the firmness In rates accompanied bv any particular ovl- dence * of increased discrimination in re gard to the quality .of collateral. Some further largo amounts of money are said to have been loaned In the New York market this week by Chicago Institutions. but this owstetance was not Important and the niilcUng of money to a 6 per cent level , was largely the result of the action re ferred to above , taken by Secretary Qage. supplementing the discovery by thn street fhat any acute fears on the ftfores of string ency In money were premature. The de- pllna In exchange rates -which was ono of the result * of the rise In ntcrest. led to some talk as to the possibility of Imports. It Is , however. gen < frally conceded that nt : he present time a movement of that kind R unlikely. Inasmuch as the ettuaUoni In South Africa and the financial position at Berlin tlll impose precaution on the In- ernatlonal money markets and would offer resistance of any movement of specie to : hls country , imADSTKEET'S IlISVIUW OP THADE. Unprecedented Volume of Hunlnoin for Till * Period of the Year , NEW YORK , Sept. 15.-Bradstreefs to morrow will say : With comparatively llttlo stock or other speculative activity and with 'ew ' new strong futures presenting them selves , the general business of the country roes forward at a good pace and In unpre cedented volume for tills period of the year , Fall trade activity would appear to be at Its maximum , Judging from advlcea of activity and utrength of demand reported alike from western and eastern markets and shared In also by moat South Atlantic and Interior southern cities. Yellow fever at some southern points , resulting In quarantine regulations , has tended to restrict business at a few markets , notably New Orleans , while unfavorable crop and weather condi tions limit buslnesg at Qalveaton. Iron anrt steel are quiet but very strong at the east. Blast furnace reports ttiow that current consumption and production are not far apart , but production falls to show the expansion looked for and while current work Is at the rate of 11,000,000 tons per year estimates of the year's production do lot run much beyond 13,600,000 tons. The notable strength in cereals this week a shown In corn , where paucity of old sup plies leads tq the rumor of a September ' 'squeeze. " Little seems to be noted in wheat , though the government report was temporarily stimulating. Weather condi tions arc partly responsible for the better demand for butter. Crude petroleum is also stronger and tobacco and hides are scarce and high. Cotton l a shade lower on the week , owing mainly to the failure of foreign spin- no to accept current movement and other advices as to cotton crop conditions. Tin strength of cotton goods Is. however , notable. Lumber retains all Us old strength and some new buying Is responsible for ad vanced quotations at several centers. This ig true afoo of. mo t building matoi-UiB , with the exception of brick , which 1 < > weaker , owing to reported over-production. Wool Is firm at all and higher at some markets and much Int6rc < t Is taken In the next London wool sales. Woolen goods are strong , thoug-h lomo manufacturers complain - plain that the advance 1n raw material ha outntrlpped the gain tn the manufacture * ! product. A number of manufacturers have Instructed their ngentu that their order books for spring delivery ore filled.
