Local trndo during tlio last week has been very satisfactory , taking nil things Into consideration. The demand for holiday Roods Is now well under way and dealers nro prophesying the hlKRest tradn In those lines ever experienced. The next two weeks , they say , nhotild cce some lively trade , nnd nil Indlcntlon worn to point that way. micro lias bren hut tittle ( .hnnso In the ] condition ( if the markets , though prices on I practically nil lines arc In a < < oed , strong position. A few advances have ti'Kcn place , I but not many of Importance. This locnl retail trade was the best hint I week It has been for rome tlmo past. The 1 cooler weather t-cught nut buyers far winter clothing and added to that were those looking tor holiday Broils. ' Retailers euy thty never saw the Chrhtman trade stiirt In so brlrk this early In the season und for that reason i..uy anticipate a blB rush a llttlu later. FnilCy ( IfMlllN Sl'll Wfll. Wholesale Krocers- report trade con- Ultlona as belns about Ihe same as they were a week ago. The demand for citrus frultP , nilsliiH , candles , nuts and Btich lines Is on the Increase , especially from the far west , and this Wrek there will doubtless be a biff demand from points nearer at hand. There arc no very Important changes In tho- condition of the market to- report , though u few should receive mention. The - - -I I i in u vn-v stronir noblllon and owing to mcruasuu uumum. rv. . _ Jlnerles have advanced the price 1-llJe. Nuts with the exception of peanuts , are firming up and prices are somewhat higher than they were u week ago. In farinaceous goods , beans are ilrmer , while oatmeal IP easier. ' The market on canned goods Is uhuut the same as It was a week ago , but at the same time prices are stiffening up und jobbers Hay Indications ar favorable for higher quotations. The coffee market 1s also very strong and higher prices are being anticipated. .Syrups , especially those. put up In tin packages , are somewhat higher than they were at last report owing to the Increase In the cost of tins. llitiMlwiiri * Hotter Hum Kvpeeted. Hardware men say Hint trade last week was heavier than during the preceding week in spite of the fact that thin Is the tlmo of year when they naturally look fern n falling off In the volume of business. They do not seem to know Just why trade should increase at this time , but are In clined to look at It as a favorable omen. There Is practically nothing new tn be mild regarding the. condition of the market. Staple lines are In Just ubout the same I position "they have been for some time past ' and Jobbers do not seem to be looking for tiny radical changes In the near future. Advances , of course , are taking place nil the time on unimportant lines , which were. not marked up as rapidly as the staple lines , but these changes are not worthy of consideration. It might be well to notice , though , that practically all the changes , however few there may be , are all In the direction of higher nrlces. Too AViirm Dry goods men say there has not boon slnco lust ropori.iiiuy mo uui . . . . . - a , rushing business In cold weather goods , but at the same time enough orders are coming In to keep them busy. Traveling men are sending In good orders for spring goods and say that Indications for u good run of spring trade were never better. The market on practically all lines , and espe cially on cotton goods , Is still stiffening up without any signs of the top being reached , hocal Jobbers received a notice last week of an advance of 5c per pound on yarn. Slormy Wintli < * r Wimtfil. Hoot and shoe men nro still calling trade quiet as far as Immediate business Is con cerned. Retailers out through the country sins doing some Complaining , but at the same tlmo Jobbers say that cell ylons nro lir-cxcellent shape. Orders for spring lines nro coming In at a rapid rate , so the con clusion Is that retailers arc not having a very hard time. The demand for rubber goods Is very light , is ( mist | necessarily be the case when there Is no atormy weather to speak of. Retailers are pretty well stocked up. so It will be sotno tlmo before Jobbers will have much to do. even should the "weather- - come. more favorable. The hide market is just about the same as It was. U. week ago. Prices are good and firm , but us yet them have not been ad vanced , mill I'roiluiic. Trndo with fn\lt iind produce men Is on the Increase. Thfl dullness which followed Immediately after Thanksgiving Is gradu ally giving way to the activity of the hell dny trade and a stl'l ' greater Improvement Is. looked forward to this week. The do- ina'nd for mich lines as cranberries , apples und oranges Is especially heavy. Cranber ries are quoted all the way from Ji5.OOIj6.50 , depending upon quality and variety. The apnles that are now on the market are nald to bo better than those offered a short tlmo ago and many dealers are prophesying higher prices In the nenr future. The best shipping stock now Is New York , which Is quoted at S3,50f4.00 | , Oranges nrt > in good supply , Mexicans going at $3.5001.00 , and California navels at W.7557 1.00.

The market Is well supplied with Christ mas greens , such as frees , holly and mistle toe. The quotations will bo found In the table of prices below. Strictly fresh eggs are worth about 16c.

Cables were steady and receipts light , but this support fniled In the fnco of free sel ling nKiiinst weekly cnlls nnd some profit- Inking. The Argentine news wns confus ing by reason of the conlllct in the reports , a private wire declaring the wenXher un settled , while Liverpool assorted that cli matic conditions were fnvornble nnd that the Argentines would hnvo 75,000,000 bushels oxportnble surplus.

Toward tlio. clnsp thn market f It some uneasiness over me money suunnon in i > u\v York. The Inanimation of business wns due largely to the scarcity of decisive statistics nnd pnrtly to the fuel thnt It was Saturday. Corn wns stendy. but very -dull and held on the wet weather , prospects of ruin nnd the good nil-rail demand. Local profes sional bulls bought Mny. Receipts here were 225 cnrs. Liverpool was Ic higher on spot , which wns something of n support. Stocks here nro expected to Increase 250,000 bushels. Clearances were 159,000 bushels. May opened n shade up , ranged from S2 c to 3.1'tic , closing n shade under yesterdny at 32H5J33C. Oats held their own In spite of the dull ness , but trade was quiet and the rang" was very narrow.

Today's short ses sion of the Stock exchange wns an anl- mateo ; one , QUO in great port to tno con tinued demoralization nmonc- some of the Industrial stocks. The determined liquida tion mnnlfuit In Sugar gnvo the tlmo to the market from the opening and soon spread a contagion of weakness nil through the Industrial ! lnt. Opening sales qf 2.50J shares ran the price down from 146 to 144V4 , compare- ! with 147 % last nleht. The stock fell to 142i ? .before the appearance of the bank stntcmont and the covering movement by the boars which followed the publication rallied the price to ut'-ove 144 , together with the wheat market. The hoary offer ings of Sugar brought out by this advance decided the tone of the whole market and broke prices throughout the It t. The last sale of Sugar was at 133V4 , th& lowest at n not decline of 8',4 , American Tobnceo kept the leader close company , especially In the late break. It sold at } 0,1 nnd on the next and last sale at 101 , u net JOSH of 5V * . There were wide breaches at other points In the list of specinltloH , notably In Metro politan Street Railway , which fell an ex treme 74. Iron and steel i-toeks held the late rally bettor than other specialties , The railroad stocks were relatively much Ilrmer than the Industrials. The oxtrenio declines reached n point only In a few of th m , The lute rally brought prices of railways above last night and net gains were saved for a number of them. Dears had commenced to cover before the up- pearnneo of the bank statement nnd thulr buying became rather more ursmit after the statement , owing to the unexpected | on in cnsli. The goncral conviction that the return was untrustworthy as n. real condi tion of the banks lielneil In the Ilnal yieldIng - Ing of the prices , The oulso to the Hub- troaeury alone , which IH a mutter of record , has umounteil to nearly $ jUOO.

Under the belief that the vaKar'ea of the avenue system of computation clouded th results in the statement the market closed with pressure to toll in full force again.

Belllntnnd additional conditions emphasized the weakness In tiiB Induetrlal list , so that losses in that de partment ranged up to 10 und 15 points In some cases. In the railroads moat of the changes rfliiBo from u fraction to 4. n is nrobablo that the money atrlnsency ami loan contraction were tlm primary causes of weakness In the Industrials 111 * In the rail , roads , but several Incidents helped to make n poor market for them nnd forced llqulda- tlon brought some violent declined , Mon- dny's Hunremu court decision against the iron plpo combination In t.ie so-callvd Addyiton case wus given cumulative effect by the references In the president's message - sago to. tlm malign- effects of some of' the industrial combinations in forming praci i I tlcal monopoly of production nnd In ad vancing prices. Friends of the different Induitrlnl stodks hnvo been diligent In urging thnt the prac tices decided to bo Illegal In the Iron pipe combination are not prnotlred by their combinations nnil that they hnve not arbi trarily advanced prices.

The president's reference to the prospective recommendations of the In dustrial committee which la Investigating this subject brought homo to the speeu- Intlve mind thnt some corn-rote mertsurr of restriction nnd regulation might bo forth coming from thl. " source. Stages of the gns war In New York , the sugnr war nnd rumors of new and powerful competition In the tobacco trade hnve served to demon strate the vulnerability of the "trusts" to cncronchmcnts on their Held by reason .of unwieldy capitalization , and dividend obli gations , v The admitted overcnpllnllzntlon In New York of newer orrnnlzntlons bccets p. spirit of Industry , The activity In the Iron it.dustrlcs has received n check for the. llrst tlmo since the boom. Kor nil these reasons tenders of money hnve chosen those lonnn to cnll ilrst which hail nny of the.-Indus- trlnls among the collateral with which they were secured. These who controlled Ihc limited supply of loanable funds showed equal discrimination ; uenlnst industrial stoeks In making new' lo.ins. The supply of money In New York has suffered from n renewal demand , especially from the south , where cotton Is still com- Ini ; forward. The subtrensury operations hnvo maile heavy Inroads on the cash re sources of the banks nnd the relief by gov ernment bond redemptions has been grad ually runnlnj ; down until on Thursday It censed altogether. Illds for government bonds In the open mnrket arc nt n higher llgnro than the government offers and the < project for refunding the national debt prompts the owners of the government , bomls to hold them with the existing pur- , plus over the reserves shown by the clearIng - ' Ing house banks. Fully half the members of the associations were down to the legal . limit last week. Even those who hold the surplus nro nnxtous to hnvo a llttlo more room to turn around , ns the New Year's period approaches.

The drastic contraction both of loans and of nole Issueby the French Institutions .In dicates preparations for some kind of crisis and : i determination to contest the Bank of England's efforts to attract funds to that center. The London money market has shown signs of case nnd lias boon able to repay large Bums to the Dank of Knglond. But the bnnk , not content with the re cuperation from that source , has been selling - ling government securities , or , us It I * termed , borrowing from the market. This is a measure designed to keep up the prl- vuto money rate so thnt It will be respoii- Bible to the bank und mny be preliminary to I nn advance in the latter.

Some of the cow stuff rold at steady prices and some hung- tire and was slow sale. It was simply the usual Saturday's market. The cattle market this week has not been In bad phapu by any means so fur as right good cuttle are concerned. Good to choice cornfed steers could safely be quoted as fully steady with a week ngo , as high as $ li.sOIj7.25 hnvlng been paid for prize cattle this week. The medium kinds of cattle showed a wenk tendency and are at least IPc lower for the week. Common warmed-up cattle are hard to tell anything nbout. One day when there happen. " to be n light run and buyers happen to have use for a few the market will be nil right and the warmed-up stuff will sell well. Perhaps the very next day when the receipts are larger or when buyers can get better cat tle It will be almost Impassible to move the warmed-up cattle and buyers ) will bid fo much lower that It will make n salesman's hair stand on end. Good cornfed. cows and heifers , such as would do for the dressed beef trade , have pold at about steady prices during the week , but canners are 10c lower nnd medium kinds of cow stuff I5iE(20e ( lower. Good ptockcrs nnd feeders have been very scnrce , and as there has been n demand for -a few the market has not shown very much change on the best grades.
