for trade mo t promising. An has
ti ca e for mwnc tlmn pa t. there Is
very little denwml Tor cold weather noodp
and tradn In jtho n lines eon equently is
unusually dull , even for tfcli * time of year.
Uealera all nicree , however , thnt wilde from
tfi wewthur there Is Absolutely nothing to
complain of and all are looKitltc forward tea
a good , brink trade In the spring. The
general condition of the wholesale mar
kets itt much < > * ie same as It wap a week
ago. Almost without an exception prices
are firm , wltn nn upward tendency , and In
i number of cac.-s quotable advances have
be n re ortwl. In a retail way local traJe
conditions Hro fairly satisfactory. Them
la of cfiurKn no emrmous demand , but at
tlui annui Umu trade Is ay good aj could
be exsvcteij.
( SriH'tTjMarlict Firm.
Wholeiwle grocers are still enjoying a
good biulnem and find they arc doing
morn than they wem n year ago at this
time. The. market In In about the saint *
condition 11 way In a week ago that Is ,
there Is a feeling of firmness all along the
line and several quolHble advances re
ported , though mostly on rtie loss Impor-
ant lines. Tlio cheaner grades uf axle
gr s were market ! up lust week , owing
to tft high market values ruling on oils
nnd other Ingredients used In Its manu
facture. Manila paper Is another line
which Is quoted a little higher than It was
a week ago. and buckshot was marked up
6u per iMig. Canned goods are still In a
very strong position nnd especially Is this
trtlo of tomatoes , which arc reported 2'tC
per dozen higher In Baltimore , though this
market so far Is unchanged. Laundrv
soaps are nlpo advancing ami are now from
.TOc to GOc per box higher than they were
January 1. The roiTce market continues
to firm up. and local jobbers are predict
ing still nlghor prices. According to re
ports received It appears that while con
sumption of coffee Is greatly Increnr l
over what Isus been before receipts ore
smaller than iifuul. and the visible supply
decrwiHlnir at .1 rapid rate. The sugar
markec is quoted the same as It was a
week ago. but the market on raws U very
tlrm and holders are asking morn than
buyers' views. When this condition is
taken with the reported decreawe through
out thu world of at least 10 per cent over
hist year's figures In the supply of raws
nnd also the probability of exports from
thu Sandwich islands being stopped on
account of the bubonic plague , jobbers nay
it would look as though higher values will
rule In tfio near future on the refined
Grades.
.SoiniLlnci Short.
Hardware Jobbers had nothing of a very
startling nature to report regarding last
week's trade. It la becoming more evident
to them eiieh week , however , that they are
going to have a big spring business and
that they are likely to have some little
dllllculty in getting stock promptly enough
to supply their customers. There is al
ready a marked shortage In wire cloth , and
several manufacturers have refused orders
on the ground that they have all the busi
ness they can handle. Manufacturers in
many other lines are In but little better
shape , so jobbers are looking for fully as
big a shortage as was experienced a year
ngo. Orders for steel goods are now com
ing In quite freely and a few shipments
have been made , but It Is still rather early
for spring business to open up with hard
ware jobbers.
Tniot Yet Rfiiuhuil.
Dry goods Jobbers are now about ready
to begin tilling their advance spring orders ,
nnd from now on that part of the business
will be pushed until all the orders received
are filled. As has been stated before , they
have the best line of advance orders this
year that they have ever hud. Traveling
men are sending in very encouraging re
ports regarding the conditions existing in
various purls of the country , and without
exception they all prophesy the best season
on record. The market last week was
without special feature , though prices con
tinue to tirm up without any signs appar
ently of their reaching the top.
Overstocked irltli Itublicr * .
Boot and shoe men are still doing but
little In the way of immediate business , as
the warm , dry weather makes It possible
for people to get along with most any
thing they happen to have. Cold , wet
weather would , of course , create a demand
for footwear , but It would have to be of
considerable duration to affect wholesalers
much , as retailers' stocks are rather large
for this time of year. Spring business , how.
ovor. Is coming In good Hliape. and the
outlook in quite encouraging. As soon as
possible local Jobbers will bfgln "hipping
advance orders so HH to be ready to handle
the rush that always comes later in the
season.
Rubber gnods men say they are doing
almost nothing , and the outlook for them
Is not very encouraging. Retailers out
through the country still have large stocks
of rubbers on hand and the way It looks
now they will be forced to carry them over
until next season , which will have a bad
ffect upon next year's trade. Of course
If there should be some severe monns this
winter It would help to clean up the re
tailers' stocks and give the wholesalers a
chance to sell some goods next fall , but
itnl s that happens the wholesale trndo
next fall Is apt to start out slowly Quito
n. few advance orders for rubber clothlnz
nn being received and the prospects ars
there will be a fair trade In these lines.
Fruit and Produce ,
The demand for fruit and produce on
this market is still rather light , though it
Is said to bo showing some Improvement.
There were but few changes of Importance
In market values , and the general trade
was without special feature. The apple
market Is n trifle higher than It was a
week ago. In speaking of the apple situa
tion one dealer remarked that he did not
look for any great advance In the market.
The supply is not laree , but at the same
time holders seem to be willing to sell at
present prices rather than to hold for a
possible advance , and for that reason It Is
thought thnt the market will not reach last
year's figures. The potato market IB in
rather bad shape In one way that IH. deal
ers llnil It dltllcult to sell them. The wnrrn
weather has enabled farmers to bring 'h m
Itr and " 11 thorn to grocers direct , which
lias ut the demand from that source to a
larau extent.
Fresh vegetables are "umlng In more
freely every week. New best * , turnips ,
cauliflower , tomatoes , radishes and cucum
bers are aome of the fresh vegetables that
nr now on the market.
The poultry market wan rather unsatis
factory l l week owing to the fact that I
rectlptw were excessive , while the demand
was only moderate. AM a result the mar
ket fell off considerably , an will he * en
from the quotations given below. The eg-j
market , for the name reason as the poultry
market , iilco took a drop toward the clone
of the week. Butter was also In need
supply and the market wwik. There Is no
c.hange la oyxters. though ( he supplv U
large. Tm- demand Is as good oa onuld b
expected com > ld rliig the time of year and
the lack of cold weather.

moment touched Slic because Liverpool's
advance of * j fHd was regarded as a poor
!
response to ttio gain of l tc fcere yesterdav.
Paris cables were strong , the weather cold ,
the ground still lacked snow protection and
a Bttenop Ayrea wlro announced that that
port as well as Rosnrlo had been tempoj j 1
rarlry closed on account of the plague.
This array of news Influenced a reaction. 1
May ascending to < 5S"c. . Feeling was somewhat - | i
what nervous over the South African sit i
uation. Later a New York report tJiat bhe ,
1
Argentine consul there had cleared a ves
sel for Rosano waa taken as a refutation
of the previous report of the closing of Ar
gentine ports , and the market reacted from
the top. May slumping : o tSltc. A reaction
to SSSc endued on recovering. The close
was quiet. May a shade under yesterday's i
llmd figures .it fi'Sfi 'if- The greater part
of the session was fairly active , although
the opening and fhe close were rather quiet.
Commlrwlon houses were fair buyers , ex
ecuting some good orders for foreign ,
houses. Threw loads were reported sold |
from here via Galveston tn Prance. Tie
seaboard reported only five loads taken for |
export. Atlantic port clearances In wheat i
and flour were equal to STl.Wl bu. Primary I
receipts were T,45. 0 bu. . against S73.0O bu.

ported 2S9 cars , compared with 354 last week I
and 4S2 a year ago. Local receipts were 25 I
cars , none of which were graded contract.
The corn trade was quiet and the feelIng -
Ing easy. Coumry offerings were freer and
the cold weather predictions gave promise
of a larger movement from first hands , all
of which Influenced selling of corn futures.
Receipts here were 217 cars. May ranged
from 33Hc to xr-c and closed H614C under
yesterday at 33c.
Th cold weather and sympathy with corn

The death of P. D. Armour. Jr. , possibly
had a slightly depressing effect on the pro

and the marker at the yards early higher ,
although It weakened later. The trade In
the provisions pit waa dull all day. this
counting against the price. May pork sold

NEW YORK. Jan. 27. The stock market '
was narrow and professional today , but re- I
fleeted some slightly Increased Interest , a.d : 1
prices ahowed some response to ne vs De
velopments. Quite an active speculation d - '
veloped In Third Avenue , whkii was fever
ish at a level extending to Vi points Uulunv
lost night. Rjjmors were rife touching the
plans for financing the floating dtbt of this
company and denials followed quickly on '
rumors. The market was disposed to rreist .
this Influence and hardened , the sp < - . .aKles
leading in point of activity and strength. i
The rather cheerful tone cl uhe weekly ,
trade reviews , the good railroad earnings
for the ohlrd wetk In January and thu tx- ,
ptictatlon of a strong bank statement
prompted buying. Tffio December statement
of St. Paul i-hecked tile movement on ac
count of the decrease af Jlrt.CM.1 In net iarn-
lng for the month by reason of Increased
operating expenses. The decrease In net
earnings of the system for the fiscal year is
thus brought up to J323.CUO. Thu total wa
offered down a sharp fraction an the ar-ow-
ir.s. Burlington closely following , tual the
whole list rihowlng uhu ufTuct.
Them was but an indifferent rally on the
hank statement and prices were sllpiitly
lower than yesterday at the clo > . The pro-
portloni of the lo < n Increat-e again Uiont < d a
sharp riff , thouch the loan expansion was
only a traction of the . .ncreasd credit facill-
ties oJTordt t by < cht > cash Increase. There
hus been no borrowing demand manifest on
the Stock exchange during the werk and
ttio time loan and mercantile paper markets
have been reported dull , although bankers
have town offering increasing inducements
to place loans. No operations have been
known of sufficient size to account for the
loan expansion of J7S15 , < X .
A fmaJI contingent of proftsKlonal
operators In stocks nnd foreign arsltraue
brokers have done practically all of the
trading on the Stock exchange for the last
week. Dealings have not exceeded In vol
ume those of last week and In bonds have
shown a progresaive decrease. There were ,
rather wide phnnc In prices on several j
days , but they were but vibration * duo to i
prcifeseional manipulation and the cloctng
of i niracts served to draw prices back to
thu last Saturday's level , around which ttie
market oscillated. The reasons for tJie exi i '
aeiilve dullness are not entirely . -It-ar. as :

; swmflmr the pre w enw of money in
newrly nil drcmrttnvnts
The first purl ni the month hroitKht heavy
l disbursements from the 1'ntted Slates
. treasury ow account of pension payment ,
which kept down tile viirplti * . but current
returns from the treasury show a dtty to
day surplus owing to heavy revenue collec
tions. The deposits of Internal revenue
conUlhed In national bank depositories are
also apprrmchlne the limits provided for by
the government bonds deposited with the
treasury by the barks n rerurlty. after
which the taking up of the surplus by the
treasury would be resumed. In the case of
the London money market the Bank t'f
England , having help * > d to tldo over the
nniuml settlement pertnd of liberal loans. Is i
now recuperating Its reserves and receiving
largo payments of innns. Although the
bank rate has been reduced from S to I per
cent since the first of thw vear It Is still
nearly 1 per pent above the private .llsrount I
rate and thus encourages continued paying I
of loans.
The future of the London money market i
depends much upon whether thi < Bank of | I
England's policy of recuperation Is In prep- |
aratlon for government loan Issues to pro. '
vide for w r expenses an event which !
would probably driiw gold from New York.
Added to these considerations Is some feelIng - .
Ing of doubt and questioning aroused by
the very free discussion and criticism of u '
New York trust companv. These accounts , 1
while of Importance In themselves , are nf i
even greater Importance In the principles
Involved In the placing of lonns looking
to the promotion of Industrial corporations.
The argument that prices of securities are
at an Inviting level must be considered In
connection with the fact that vast amounts
of money were spent , u the extreme high
prices Inst year , compared with which pre. -
ent prices represent heavy losses and dls-
couragement or Inability to buy. These
positive factors toward dullness are In ad
dition to the negative or passive one of
waiting for the Industrial future to define
itself more accurately
The falling off In the rate of Inflow of
money seeking employment has served to
decrease the demand for bonds and has re
sulted In prlco reactions in some points.
The market has continued linn for the
most part. United States new 4s declined
ll , the Ss and old 4s. registered. ? and old
4s. coupon , H In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The Intense
anxiety over the situation In Natal stupe
fied the markets here today and there was
practically no business. The tone was
heavy. The exchange was amused , not
frightened , by the Berlin rumor that Gen
eral Warren had lost 2.3CO men and seven
teen guns on Splonkop. Mr. Leyds , the
Transvaal agent , having just reached Ber
lin. The bank lost 40.0X1 gold enraged at
the Cape. Paris checks were 25.1S. The
Berlin bank rate was reduced today from
6 to 5H per cent , as expected.

Cotton Market.
NEW YORK. Jan. 27. COTTON Market
opened flrm. with prices from 2 to 3 points
higher on bullish news from all quarters
and a renewal of active speculation. The
dominating influences consisted of a pro
nounced advance In Liverpool , semi-olll-
cial advices from the south stating that
offerings of spot cotton were light , even at
advanced prices , and the presence of largo
orders from abroad for spot cotton here , j
The business done In the first hour comI I
prised large purchases for foreign demand , '
Wall street room shorts and southern ac- '
count and selling of profit-taking type for
smaller room and outside holders. The
course of prices after the opening was
sloxvly upward on energetic support from
room bulls and speculative demand from
parties who for weeks past have held aloof.
The crop movement was light. The market
for futures closed steady , with prices net 3
to 7 points higher.

CATTLE There were no fresh receipts
of any consequence and no killing cattle to
make a test of the market. The few loads
on sale brought nominally steady prices.
The cattle market this week has been In
fair shape , taken as a whole , and prices
paid have been fully In line with otfter
markets. The demand for all kinds has
been fairly liberal and equal to the re
ceipts so that each day's arrivals have
been disposed of without much trouble.
Cornfed cattle for the week have not
shown much change. The common to
medium kinds , which constitute the biggest
percentage of the cattle arriving , have been
slow and weak on some days , and for the
week they are a little lower. On the other
hand right good cattle , of wbifh there
are very few coming , could be called Steady
at least , and they might sell at even
stronger prices. The season Is getting
pretty well advanced and the cattle ought
to begin to show some Improvement In
quality In the very near future.
Cows and heifers were lower during the
middle of the week , but they picked up to
ward too latter part of the week again , so
thai taken all in all there is not much
change In values' for the week. Fat bulls
have sold off a little during "he week and
stock bulls have not shown much change.
Good veal calves have been good sellers
all the week at tlrm prices.
Goad feeders , weighing 000 pounds or
'over , have been strong all the week , as the
supply has been very Hgflt. wnlle the de
mand has been good. At the same time
light and medium weight catle , especially
those on tne commonlsh order , have been
weak , wi--h a lower tendency. Rep

HO < iS The market opened SSjlOc higher
on zocd kinda this morning. Some of thu
choice heavy hogs brought $4.703'1.72H. ' with
pikers generally offering J4.e3U4H.e5 for
good mixed loads. The trade was slow ,
and buyers and sellers seemed to be apart |
In their Ideas , so tiiat the morning passed
before very much business waa ac
complished. Bffore sellers could let go of
chelr holding Chicago came lower and the
market here weakened and closed with a
good share at the advance lost. The late ;
tales were largely at JI.60 for good loads.
It was lat . before a clearance was effected.
