Gr.uluil Improvement In TIM do No- tlroahlc In Most S-ulotM. ( NEW YOIIK , Dec. I. II. G. Dun & Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade will sav : The only change observable in tbo condition of busi ness is a gradual Improvement. Many branches of trade nro a litllo more lively nud in some the Improvement is quito satisfac tory. The ono slcn of unfavorable characlor Is that the collections nt seine points are slower and harder than usual , pnrtlcularly where the low price of cotton leads holders' to defer selling as lon ai poulbio. But at the prir.clpnl nestorn points , Chicago , St. Loul , Cincinnati and ht. Paul , collections are very satisfactory. The larger trade cen ters report most fnvoraolo In that respect , and there Is less U'dleulty In eastern cities , though at the south some embarrassment continues. Money is n.U particularly strin gent anywhere , though rather close ut Nash ville anrt .Montgomery. The oHlclal report shows that the volume of all kinds of currency in actual circulation was Jli"7OCKl)0 ) ( ( ) on December 1 , ngalnst $ I,5iU,000OUO on Novomoor 1 , and Sl.fiOj.UOO- 000 a year ago. The increase both for the month and for the year has been mainly in the form of gold ccrtlllcatos and new treas ury notes. The speculative markets have tcndoj down ward on the whole , although wheat is un changed in price , with sales of JO.OOO.OOO bushels hero during the last wee and the receipts continue at the rate of over 7,00i,00i ) > bushels for the week , with exports unabated nnd nt the rate ot nearly H00l)00 ( ! ) bushels for the week from Atlantic ports nlone.

Bradstroot's , in its review of the Now York stock market , aays : While the market hns not been nctlvo during the past week , It was linn under the disturbing influence of the Flcld-Lindley fallura and the complica tions Incident thereto , and later on re sponded to the favorable sentiment at Lon don by a modorulo but decided advancing tendency. While there is doubtless some exaggeration in regard to the Immediate effects of the plan which Mr. Goclicii out lined on Wednesday last for increasing the English bank reserves and circulation , It is significant that the proposition was ac cepted on the London market as an encouragement for bullish speculation Singularly though it would seem , the chan cellor of the exchequer's utterances In ro- card to sliver were thus construed into some thing moro positive than was intended , nnd it wns noticed that foreign nouses took u load ing part as buvers In the sharp upward movement in silver eertiilcatcs on Wednes day nnd Thursday. Foreign purchases of stocks wore in fact on u more extensivescalo than hiu boon seen foe some time past , and though the public has not nppcarod in the street , leading operators appear to bo once moro giving their suppoit to their specialties , while Increasing railroad earn ings and a tendency to augment dividends on the trunk line nnd granger stocks encour age speculative buying of a moro or loss professional kind. Advances were accord ingly recorded in n considerable number of stocks , although there nro some noteworthy exceptions.

I also asked if wo could bo of any use by reaching thcro at , that timo. In about uhnlf hour I received un answer from Blair which stated that the lire was under control and that thcro wns no need of our help.
