Encouraging Report, Except In Metals and Textiles. NFA YORK. Nov. 20.-Telegraph!c advices ?r?m correspondent 0f the International Mer cantile Agency, throughout the United States and Canada, regarding the state of trade, are Fummarlz4 as follows: The week has made It plain that processes of rrajjustmat and curb in prices and Indus try lines, together with conservatism among c- merrlal buyers, will more than offset the tET-eased promise of agricultural prosperity. Exrept In metals and textiles, leading lndufc-tr-es report encouraging activity. Shoe ship ment from Boston are larger than a year ago. rt::e Philadelphia textile mills are on half Urr.tv. Southern cotton mills are drawing funds treelr from Baltimore and other points with wfcla to purchase stock. Reports of friction between the Steel Corporation and independent producers are exaggerated. Efforts of North bs buyers to break Southern pig iron prices have- bees sufficiently unsuccessful to encourage makers. The only serious industrial storm centers are in Colorado and at Chicago. Those at Pitts burg an New York are less threatening. F.nanclally. the situation has Improved since the znoveraent of European gold this way. Mer cantile collection are said to be good at near ly all points except Philadelphia and Cleveland. where they are firmer. St. Paul says they sS. slow In localities. The cold snap has stimulated buying of dry goods, clothing and other seasonable products. Montreal reports a steady demand for staples at moderate prices. RetaiI dealers say busi ness is very good. Merchants look for an early settlement of a. strike of 5000 men In the leath er Industry. Toronto advices are of greatly stimulated sales by reason of the colder weath er, with particularly encouraging orders from the Northwest. Farmers are now rushing grain to shlpplngjfolnts. Funds at Dominion finan cial centers remain comparatively easy. KEMOVES THREATENED rACTOB, Labor OrganlzatloBS Accept "Wage Eedno tlons. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. R. G. Dun & Cos weekly report of trade tomorrow will say: Labor organizations are accepting reductions In wages without controversy, which removes one threatened industrial factor, and In several branches of business orders are more numerous, but in the steel Industry there Is little! expecta tion of liberal huylng until 1904. Construction work Is decreasing, despite optimistic reports of more building permits issued last month than a year ago. Mild weather still checks distribution of mer chandise usually jn brisk demand at this sea son, which check Is reflected In restricted ac tivity at woolen and worsted mills and cloth ing factories. There is not the complaint of trafllc congestion that was so frequent last year at this tlme railway earnings being 6.1 per cent higher than in November, 1602, testi fying to the Increase in facilities. A week has passed without any further .re duction in prices of iron and steel, and the seutlment in the trade favors stability at the present position. Failures this week were 249 in the United States, against 266 last year, and 17 in Canada, compared with 24 a year ago. POBTIiAND MARKETS.

SPECIAL PLEA P0E GOOD ROADS Governor of Virginia Tells of the Op portunity of America. KANSAS CITT, Mo., Nov. 20. At the annual banquet of the Commercial Club, Governor Montague, of Virginia, spoke on "The Supremacy and Opportunity of the American Republic" He said: "What will best give American people their best opportunity? "We have neg lected largely the old-fashioned public highway. No civilization has ever out lived the common road. Our public high ways should not longer remain .a social block and Industrial blockade to our people. "We want a wider and more prac tical system of public school education. Our system Is for opportunity to serve. We are too prone to make education a short road to leisure. The colored man has seen tho white educated man the only man in his community who did not work. It has been a stumbling block to him. "Wealth has not made men, but it Is tho conscientiousness in men that makes them winners. The American wage earner produces twice as much as any other in the world and our captains of industry would not be such In any other country- The most efUcient labor the world ever knew originated In the Ameri can Republic, and goes to build up that unification of people, patriotism, which Is the duty everywhere to stand for all that Is best fdr the American people."

FLURRY IN CALL MONEY GIVES STOCKS IN NEW YORK MARKET A SETrBACK. Large Calling of Loans Attributed to Syndicate Requirements, Includ ing Steel Stock Conversion. NEW YORK, Nor. 0. Prices of stocks ro celved a setback today, after & further mod erate upward movement during the early hours of the session. A plausible reason for the reaction was a flurry In call money rates, which ran up to S per centrate In the day, causing apprehension that tomorrow's bank statement might reveal some unfavorable developments. So far as the currency movement of the week Is concerned, there is nothing to show an Im portant loss of strength by the banks, the ap parent decrease in cash being limited to a few hundred thousand dollars. The loss by trans fers through the Subtreasury and on Subtreas ury operations proper were almost offset by the receipts of new gold. Including foreign gld Imported and a small gain on the direct in terior movement. The last named was but a trace, but Is regarded as highly significant. In view of tho turn in the currency indicated. The dubious point of tomorrow's bank state ment is the loan item. There was some large calling of loans today by several of the great banks, which necessi tated the shifting of loans and caused the rise In the money rate to 8 per cent. The purpose of this call of loans was explained somewhat vaguely as due to syndicate requirements, in cluding the tfhited States Steel stock conver sion syndicate. The call loan rate ran off to 5 per cnt again before the close. The exhila rating effect upon stock speculation of yester day's announcement that the syndicate con version of United States Steel preferred stock into second bonds would be discontinued was still manifested this morning, but It spent its force In the course of the day. Opening transactions- In United States Steel preferred and In the bonds were on an enormous scale. Tho good effect of yesterday's concession In freight rats by the railroads was partly offset by con tinued unfavorable forecasts for the trade. Southern Pacific camo-lnto tho foremost place In speculative attention, and was lifted an ex tremo 214 points. There was no news to ex plain this movement beyond the general suppo sition that the present rate of extraordinary expenditures out of earnings will not be In definitely continued, and that an extensive re funding of high-rate bonds is an early possi bility. The strength of this stock was taken advantage of to realize elsewhere, and there was more or less suspicion that Its rise was manipulated to help the profit-takers. The market closed dull and rather heavy. The bond market became somewhat Irreg ular in sympathy with the reaction in stocks. Total sales, par value, $4,177,000. United States 2s declined & per cent on the last call. CLOSING STOCK. QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low. Close.

Tho demand for De cember wheat from shorts was extremely urgent, owing to the critical situation In tho Northwest, and with but small offerings tho market ruled strong throughout tho en tire day. The sentiment was bullish from tho start, higher cables and small receipts in the Northwest being Incentives that brought out a good demand at the open ing. December was a shade lower to a shade higher at 79c to 70 c, but with ac tive buying by shorts and local traders the prlco advanced rapidly. On the nuvonce there was selling to secure profits and somo sales for short account which resulted in the market easing off slightly at times, al though the tendency was constantly toward a higher level. After nelllng up to 80o December closed lc higher at SO08Oc. Corn for December delivery was especially strong, owing to a scarcity of offerings, while at the samo time there was a good demand from shorts throughout the day. December closed 11c higher at 43 43c Oats advanced sharply on buying by a leading bull, whch was accompanied by large purchases for shorty account. Decem ber closed at 35(?35c, a gain of llc.

Potato Trade Firm for Fancy Stock Heavy Rain Improves AgrI -cultural Outlook. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 20. Heavy and al most incessant rains In the northern half of California since yesterday have vastly Im proved the agricultural outlook, but the south ern part of the state has not yet been visited. This last caused some covering of shorts In the grain market and stiffened speculative prices. Much wheat and barley is still held In tho South, and holders will not sell until next season's prospects are more favorable. Cash grain Is rather firmer on the small avail able supplies. Two more vessels have been chartered for barley loading at low rates. There Is more inquiry for seed oats since the rain. General fruit and produce markets were dull on account of stomy weather. Receipts for the same reason were light. Few grapes are now coming, the season being virtually over. The recent heavy arrivals of Humboldt County ap ples have checked the advance In that fruit, although high-grade stock from Oregon still brings good prices. New-crop oranges aro In ample supply and easy, but tho quality Is most ly poor. Tho potato market is firmer, with higher prices asked for river Burbanks. Tomorrow's arrivals from Oregon, If fapcy, should sell quickly. Onions are In light supply and firm. Receipts of butter are increasing, and prices are easier. Cheese is weak. Eggs still bring fancy prices for best grades. Receipts, 61,000 pounds butter, 17,000 pounds cheese, 17,000 dozen eggs. t Hops Quiet and steady.
