Distribution of goods to consumers goes on falily at gains at nearly all points In comparison with last year, but not yet at a rate to sustain the present volume ot manufac turing production, so that prices weak en a little. With many features of en couragement, business has not yet an swered expectations, ond li Is evident that loss on part of the corn crop, and the unaaturaly law prices of other great staples affect (he buying power ot mitckiM. Domeotlc exports from this etty In two week* of Octcber were IS per cent, less In value than last rear, whll* the In crease In value of Imports hss been 27 per cent. Much of the decrease to ex ports Is In price, but In August an Sep tember the quantity of wheat decreased over a third. Provisions and cotton gained, but oil decreased, and In minor products exports In September declined 15 per cent. The Increase in imorte ex clusive of sugar was over U per cent. In September, and In two weeks of October at New York over 4* per cent.
