for the Hominy trade arc delayed much
longer thero will bo serious los. Prices of
commodities tend upward.
Although nominal quotations of Iron and
steel are unchanged, llgurcs rerer only to
future .deliveries and' In most cases prices
for current shipment command a consider
able premium. Since this nvirglu Is In
fluenced by local conditions at the vnrloils
mills nml f'irnnces, besides being further
complicated by scarcity of freight cars
and strikes. It Is almost Impossible to ar
rive at 11 fairly reprcseututlvo price level.
In general, however, the tone Is distinctly
firmer, with especial scarcity of bllicta and
further Importations,
I, nek of I'uel Aliirnilim,
Steel mil mills are still accepting orders,
with their cnpnclly cngarfed about up to
the end of next year, mid there Is much
Lcpneern regarding the filling of contracts
since tne incit ot niei grows mora alarm
ing. Instead of pig Iron production showing
nnother now high record on December 1. as
was Indicated by the urgency of demand, It
HPpenrs probably that n loss will bo olll
cImIIv announced because coko wns not
nvaHable. Instead of furnace stocks being
entirely eliminated an Increase may b re
corded, since, cars could not bo secured (o
temove supplies. Merchant steel mills
have orders for nwnthi ahead. A season
able deerense has occurred In the move
ment of pipe, while Independent mills havo
furnished suftlcteiit compellllon In sheet
and wire nuts to bring slightly lower
prices. The corner In tin collapsed, prices
falling about s per cent In few days, and
silver declined to .the lowest point since
September, IV.ir.
Wool Mrnnir 11 lid Active.
Activity and strength are conspicuous In
tho markctx for domestic wool. C'ontes
Bros.' circular makes the nveragc of 100
gfndcs 17.51c, which Is the best price re
corded sluco May. Concessions are not se
cured by purchasers, but on tho other
hand holdera grow more confident. De
spite recent phenomenal sales at Boston
there Is steady buying and stocks do not
accumulate, although arrivals are liberal.
Makers of heavyweight woolens re
ceived good duplicate orders, while con
tracts for spring lines como forward
freely. Cotton goods are In better re
q iest, but mills delay new. undertakings
because of tho sudden rise In raw material,
find If It la sustained (hero will probablv
be a new price list of prints. Coarse
colored cottons are selling well, largely for
export; footwear factories are bnsv on
spring goods, many having contracts' for
some- months' full occupation. Chicago
hides show a further decline, but Imported
dry hides are well sustained.
Corn's Nriisntlonnl C11I11,
Staple products continue advancing, corn
making a most sensational gain, Extraor
dinary high prices for this cereal tempted
many to sell contracts In expectation of a
sharp reaction, but a further violent rise
to the highest price for many yenrs com
pelled covering nt a snvoro loss. This
gain Is not governed by precedent, tho
smallest oxporta for many years falling to
produco any effect. Shipments from At
lantic ports for tho week reached the low
est point slncn 18U. amounting to 278,215
bushels, ugalnst ,33ii,71R bushels last year.
Wheat was also sharply advanced to the
best price of the season, lurgelv thiough
sympathy with corn, for which It was
freely substituted. Poor weathor for the
new crop of winter wheat and liberal mill
ing demands were also strengthening fac
tors, while exports from all parts of the
United Stutea amount to 4,815,812 bushels
for the week, against 3,253,211 a year ago.
Cotton was aroused from 113 lelhargv by
an unexpectedly low official estimate of the
current croji, only 9,674,000 bulcs, when
about 1,000,000 bales moro was predicted
by tho members of tho leading exchanges.
Vigorous speculiiilon and an advance of
over $2 a bain resulted when tho low yield
was announced. ,
No failures for the week ate given.
iiii.istiii:ets review ok trade,
Holiday Pro mine Unprecedented Vol
ume nt IIiiNlncfts,
NEW YORK, Dec. e.-rilradstreet's to
morrow will nay: This has been a notable
week In trade and' industry. Retail distri
bution, stimulated by cold weather and
holiday inlluences, has been very largo,
and Is reflected In a decidedly good reas
serting demand from Jobbers. Holiday
trade, In fact, promises to be of unprece
dented volume, with demand fjor a lietter
class of goods. In tho great Industries,
such as Iron, coal, lumber, the textiles,
Jewelry, boots and shoes, and tho various
kindred und subsidiary branches, activity
has been widespread. Tho rise in food sta
ples und metals is tho basis for the ap
parent tesiimptlon In tho advanco of the
general le of prices noted for November.
Iron and steel arc slrongei at the highest
prices of the year. Inability to obtain sup
plies Is complained of all the way from the
furnace to tho llnlshcd product. Tho
switchmen strike affects Pittsburg and
further aggravates tho car slwrtage trou
ble, home mills aro closed for want of
steel and some furnaces for want of fuel.
Merchant furnaces aro reported running
only half their capacity. Steel Is practi
cally unobtainable for prompt delivery.
Wire and nails alone nre weaker In price
on competition; plates nre stronger and
structural mills are crowded with orders;
bar steel Is. scarce at Chicago: rail buyers
aro more numerous, bjt sellers are Indlf
ferentr foundries uic booked orders
mouths ahead. Orders for railroad cars
aro very heavy.
Tho original Impetus for the advance In
wheat and tho scarcity and high prices for
tho coarser grnlns has this week been
aided by the widening out' of speculation,
outsldo buying being a feature, aided by
the smaller run ot receipts at the north
west. Tho highest prion paid for seven
teen months has bcciujreachcd In tho face
of the largest gain In stocks, both here and
abroad, reported In any month for years
past. heat In the United States and
Canada increased 21.AOO.000 bushels In No
vember, nearly live times tho gain shown
a year ago. Corn and oats nre higher than
at any time t-lncc 1831. Hog products and
provisions generally In better speculative
di miMld.
The dead level of the cotton market was
sharply disturbed this week by the govern
ment ostlnvv of 9.67t,0oo bales as tho total
crop. This estimate, whllo a surprise to
tho trade. Inducing a net advance of V
cent lit spots and of .,o points in futures,
was In keeping with the earlier published

Wield. The strength tu raw material has

export branch Is, in good shape, with many
makea of heavy cottons sold ahead to
Marrh, Woolen machinery Is busily cm
ployed, worsted manufacturers especially
so, and raw wool Is hardening.
Wheat, Including Hour, exports for the
week aggregate 4,60i,3 bushels, against
5,117,478 last week and 3,432-,15!) In this week
last year. Wheat exports July 1 to date

Fear of Money SlrliiKciicr Cnne
Actli e Mriltnu.
NEW YORK. Dec t!. Fears of money
stringency gained the tipper hand In the
stock market today ami precipitated ac
tive selling throughout the list. Tho -ip-parent
running out of the recent specula
tive movement In Manhattan and the con
sequent realizing by the longs was n fea
ture of the market. The stock made an
effective rallying point for the benrs In
their aggressive onslaught on the market.
In tho late dealings the stock fell to HiV
representing nn extreme decline of i. At
the same time Amalgamated Copper, which
had fluctuated rather sluggishly but heav
ily nil day, took a new downward plunge
to 69S, compared with Its previous low
record of Tl'5. This unsettled the whole
market and made the closing active and
eosy, but with the selling pressure much
less acute In the general llt than In the
stocks named, The deposit at the sub
treasury Tor trnnsfer to the Interior of
$1,000,0110 completed the fright over the
money prospect. Of today's deposits for
transter $6To,orm,was for Chicago mid $lVi,f0
for New Orleans. The renewed demand
from Chicago Is said to be based on the

CATTLE There was a light run of cattle
here today for even the lost end of the
week, and as the demand from all sources
WHS 111 good hlliHln nrlees on thn better
grades ruled hlRher than yesterday, and the
iiuiiHci. was acijve irom start to unisn.
There wero very few enrnferl stcera on
sale today and hardly enough to make 11
fair Ust of the market. It was very evi
dent, though, that packers wonted tho
better grades and the few that were of
fered sold at stronger prices than were paid
yesterday. Common cattle, of course,
moved slowly, as uackers aro not at all
anxious for them.
The cow market was vcrv hrlsk this
morning and could be nuoted utrnnir to a
dime hlghei. Packers have been very lib
eral bnytrs all the week of row stuff and
prices nave advanced sharply. Thn im
provement lia.s been general 011 all kinds
from cnnueiR to choice cornfeds. The
eoncral onlnlon seems to be. that the sun-
ply Is going to decrease from this tlmo on,
and as a result packers are taking all they
can get r.t the present time.
nuns, veai caives anu stags also com
manded strong prices this morning where
the quality was at all good.
There wero very few stockers and ftcders
lit the yards today, so that the better
grades sold without dlllloirtty at steady
prices. There was no change noticeable In
tho prices paid for the commoner grades.
as they nave neen mean sellers all the
week and prices very uneven. Thero Is
almost no demand from the country at all
for tho common grades, r.o that speculators
are very cautious about buying them.
'more were oniy a lew nuuenes or tango
cattle on sale today. Tho better cracles
sold at strong prices, but tho common kinds
were neglected ana no more man steady.

HOOS-Thore was a generous run here
tcday, but prices Improved a good 6c. as
compared with yesterday. Tho market was
slow In opening, as buyers and sellers couM
not agreo on terms, but when they filially
did u ft together the hogs changed hand
ri.plilly, and practically eerythlng wan
dliposed of In good season 111 spite ci "a
slow opening. Thn hulk of the ptlmo hs"
hogs sold today from $6,171? to $6 20. Oa4)
mixed hogs sold largely from $6.13U if,
$.13 Butcher weights sold mostly fp,M
$6.05 to $t.10 ami the lighter weights went
ftcm 16.05 down. The bulk of nil the hoijs
today sold from $6.05 to $6.15. It was no
ticeable that the qjallty of the offorlnart
vhs better today than yesterday, which
helps out tho average price to a consider
able extent. Lightweights were neglected,
the same as they have been nil along, and
were left until the last. Reprcscututlto

hHLEP There were only about five cars
or sheep and lambs on sale today and
nearly all of thftso were killers. Packers
took hold In fairly good shape and paid
just n,bout sternly prices for anything de
slrabie. The native bunches In particular
sold freely, ns high as $4.75 being paid for
some native lambs. Owing to the light of
ferings the market soon came to a close.
There was but little trading: dono In feed
ers today, but the few bunches that AM
change hands brought Just nbout steady
prices.
