is not always a just measure ot tbo prosper-
Uy of the people , but It Is satisfactory to
know tbat nt most points It li unusually

tlial It li less than wit yoar. General Irado
IUU season Is usually light , merchants bolng
engaged in taking fetocic , but at many point i
it ts reported larger than usual , nud oven
larger than last , yoar. Reports show loss
complaint a i to collection * and a largo trade
is In progress.
At 1'lttaburx trade Is unusually gooJ In
oil line * , with Iron and steal nunufactur OTA
more hopeful ana the gluss trade fairly good.
At Cleveland the wholesale trauo Is good ,
though the shoo trade Is dull , hut the holiday
bjslncsa Is brisk , exceeding last year's worx.
At Chicago saloi and collections of inor-
chnndiso exceed last year's In splto of soft
country roads , and the holti'ay trade U pho-
noiiienal. Hocolpts of wheat , corn and rye
nro Uoublo last year's , of dressed beef three
times last year's , the increase In Hour Is
a third , in cured moats a quarter , and In oats ,
barlov and cattle large , notwithstanding the
complaints of the car famine throughout the
woat. Money Is easy and demand good.
At MIlwnuKco open weather and bad roads
retard trade , but the holiday business ox-
: ocas last year's though the traders In coun
try towns are HUfforlng.
At St , Louis mild weather also checks
trade , but holiday business ts very largo and
trade In clothing , shoos and other seasonable
goods nbovo the average , and money Is easier.
At Kansas City holiday trauo is brisk ;
though the blockade affects the receipts of
cattle and grain , trade Is fairly healthy.
At bt. I'nul in spite of unseasonable
weather , the jobbing tr.ulo is good and retail
trade U active , and at Mmno'ipolls the cut of
lumber for the year Is 150ilMOuO ( ) foot , the
output of ( lour for the week , 201,000 barrels
against lli'J.OOO for the corresponding week of
last year , and the general feeling ts one of
oonlldonco.
At Omata trade Is good though money Is
Close.
Southern cities report less cheerfully , the
low price of cotton causing dullness nt
Memphis and Oalvoston and also at Savan
nah. But nt Now Orleans business Is more
active onii larger in volume , thoueh cotton
receipts are heavy and suirar Is fairly active ,
with money in strong demand.
The great industries close the year with
inoro than usual activity , oven the wool on
mills having orders enough to keep them
fairly employed , and n number have recently
started , but nnno shut down.
Cotton manufacturers find n good demand
nnd numerous enlargements of plants arc re
ported. Shno factories complain that usual
orrtors nro lacking , nnd yet they nro fairly
active. Paper mills are busy and making
many additions of machinery and buildings.
The iron manufacturers bavo boon turnlnir
out more pip than over before , though some
works stop for the holidays , and the tone of
the market is stronger , with rather moro demand -
mand for finished products.
Speculation continues moderate , wheat
hnvlntf risen l f cent with sales of 13,000,000
bushels , corn having docliucd 1 cent nnd oats
n traction. Coffee is unchanirod , oil V to 1
cent higher and pork unchanged. Cotton has
dropped a sixteenth below 8 cents , with ro-
coipta from plantations exceeding last year's
to unto by 550,000 bales. Tlio very lame out

prices.

Nn\v YOIIK , Deo. 21. Bradstroot's woolfly
Wall strcot review says : The past woolc
has witnessed a further progress toward the
roall/utlon of that broad and active sosculu-
t.on which for some time past Wall street
has confidently expected , nnd It may still bo
said that the buying Is largely professional
nnd that the publlo has scarcely bugun to
take an nctivo IntornsU At the snmo time
the steady uavanco of bond quotations and
tbo remarkably ncavy trading in that quar
ter could scarcely have developed without
tlio assistance ot the investing public , whllo
in the strong upward movement of
stocks mid the greatly augmented vol
ume nnd well distributed character of
the transactions , there is ample evidence
that outside participation is already growing
npnco. It is noticeable that foreign interests ,
though not inclined to take an notlvo part
until after the holidays , have hoon favorably
Impressed tiy the conditions which prevail
hero , and have bought moderately , but stead
ily. At the same tlmo. the general condl-
tlons on which the bullish Inclinations
based continue to oxurt n sustaining inllu-
onco. The exceptional trulllc movement , the
phenomenal character of current railroad
earnings and the ease of the inonoy market
nro all powerful levers for speculative Im
provement , Moreover , ouo of the Important
developments of the woolc was a rapid d'l- '
cllno of exchange rates to an extent which
renders it prob.iblo that gold imports from
Ktiropo will again sot in on n largo scale. Nor
were signs wnntlnir tliat the speculative forces
which 1110 actively engaged on the hull sldo
are constantly receiving reinforcements. The
most siinilic.int ( event In this connection was
thu marked advance In the Gould stocks ,
headed by Missouri 1'acillc , which could only
be interpreted ns monniiic that the Interest
which controls that property Is no longer
oven passively opposed to the general specu
lative inclination. At the same time , some
stocks , notnUly Northern PncUic preferred ,
which Imvo bocn under pressure recovered
ground , whllo Utchuiond Terminal had n
sharp roeovnrv and many of the grangers
and otnor loading spoculativos attained
the highest llguros they have seen
in I8UI. So strong Is the current
that on Wednesday and Thursday tno
prospect of the market uolng closed until
Monday produced comparatively few realiz
ing sales , aud the market was strong and ad
vancing up to the close. Ono of tlio prlnol-
p.il happenings of the week uld not , however -
over , coincide with bullish predictions.
When the hnito Shore only maintained Its II
per cent rate for thayoar aim Michigan Cen
tral and Cnncdn Southern Increased their
dividends by only one-half ot 1 percent
each , something ° f chill was iflvon to the
innrkot , more especially as the action was re
garded as fatal to any exaggerated Increase
In the dividend on Now York Central. At
the snmo tlmo the docllno In Vauderhllt
shores was slight , Canada Southern being
the only ono to show n decided slump.

Of Intoiost l ( > Doctors.
Pliyslclaiis generally will bo Interested In
ibo ro-uilt of a very critical surgical opera
tion performed In Now York upon Mr. by-
man J. Oago of Chicago , December 23. Thr
llsodso which threatened the patient's llfo is
known as ulcomtlon nnd threatening per
foration of ttio vermiform appendix.
Mr. Oago will recover. The attending
ami consulting physicians nil agree that It
would have boon Impossible to snvo Mr.
Dago's llfo had the critical operation which
wai performed boon dolayol a few hours.
Dr. MoBurney is the foremost among Now
York surpoons In the advocacy of early oper
ations In cases of this kind. The result of
thU operation Is a practical demonstration
In favor of.Dr. Mollurnoy's Idea. Or , Walk
er's diagnosis of the caso. which proved to
bo exactly correct , was ulcoratlonantl threat
ening perforation of the vermiform appendix.
1'tirra was local peritonitis with It , aud from
Ihls primary cause. Had the pontonUs ! be-
como general , which was only A matter of a
few hours , or had the appendix become rup
tured , it would have been fatal.
Dr. WnlKor called Drs , McHurnoy nnd
Wolr Into consultation. Dr. McBurnoy In-
anted that an Immediate operation was
necessary , and to tbla his two colleagues
agrood.
"Dr. McUurnoy performed the operation , "
said Dr. Walker last ovenmg. "An incision
six Inches long was made. The operation
was highly successful I bavo rarely scon a
patient undergo a capital operation with as
much fortitude as Mr. Gaga manifested. It
was really romarltnblo when onu romombcrs
that all three of the attending physicians
were total strangers to him , and ho Know
that his llfo was In their hand. .
"Vos , Mr. Gago's llfo would have boon
worth little had the operation boon delayed
twelve hour ? . The whole vermiform appon
dix would have boon gangrenous and septlo
peritonitis would have resulted. "

The attraction In the county court yester
day afternoon was the case of W. A. Paxton
against Jodgo Julius S. Cooley , which was
brought to dispossess the latter of bis ofllco
In tbo Paxtou block.
It seems that Cooley induced ono Aisch to
lease the rooms for a year , and then ho sub
leased them from Aisch. The latter romalnoa
about three woaks and then disappeared ,
leaving the histrionic lawyer in full possos-
sion. When the agent tried to collect the
second month's rent ho was confronted by
Cooley with a receipt from Aisch stating that
the amateur tragedian had paid him a year's
rent.
rent.Of
Of course Cooley insisted that ho had paid
the rent for a full twelvemonth , nud that ho
was entitled to a year's possession without
any further contribution , whether Aisch
showed up again or not. Ho could give no
information as to Aisch's whereabouts , nor
as to tils future movements. This was not
satisfactory to Mr. Pnxton , hence the suit.
The story with all Its variations was poured
into the ours of a Jury.
