rXDUSTRIES ARE ACTIVE.
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.

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.

December Wheat Closes Over a Cent Illsher
at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. 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.
Provisions were a &hado easier at the
start, owing to a decline In J the price of
hogs at the yards. The (close was about
steady. January pork, 57c hlgner, while
lard and ribs were each 2c lower.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS
HIGH GRADE OREGON APPLES

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
