weekly review of trade says : The shipment
of more than 1,000,000 in gold to Kuropo
early this week has caused nome natural ap
prehension In speculative markets. It is
true that gold Is demanded by Austria under
such circumstances that an exceptional
premium Ifl paid for it , but neither Austria
nor any other country could withdraw gold
from the United States at present unless
there wcro heavy sales of American securi
ties by foreigners. The exports of bread -
stuffs , cotton , provisions , rattle and pe
troleum in November amounted to $72GG9-
8U3 , indicating nggregato exports of about
ty.,00.000 ( ) per month , and an excess of mer
chandise exports over imports of not less
than 820,000,000. At the same time silver
has been going abroad In largo amounts. It
is clear that unless securities had been
moved thls _ way in unusual amount , gold
could not bo taken abroad in the settlement
of international exchanges , but the condi
tions of domestic trade are decidedly
healthy and the approaching close of the
year will 11ml a larger volume of business
both foreign ami domestic tiian has over
been known before.
KrportH from Clllra.
At Boston general business Is steady.
At Philadelphia groceries are active and
trading fair , but In dry goods It is dull.
At Pittsburg the demand for manufac
tured iron is somewhat less urgent , but the
output of pig iron increases and trade in
glass Is fairly active.
The shoo trade at Cincinnati Is satisfac
tory and collections fair.
At Cleveland trade is active in dry goods ,
groceries , crockery and holiday articles and
fairly good In other line ? , but in rolled Iron
business is quiet and prices have fallen 10
per cent.
At Indianapolis business is comparatively
' qu'itit and at Detroit dull , though iron pro
ducts are in fair demand.
Trade at Chicago is especially active in
holiday lines and collections are good , with
not as much need ns usual for loans in ordi
nary business. Receipts of pork , lard ,
dressed beet , rye and hogs are less than a
year ago , and also of hides , corn , wool and
Hour , wliile sonio increase appears in cheese ,
oats , barley , wheat , cattle and sheep.
At St. Louis holiday trade is remarkably
largo. The great improvement hero in rail
way facilities is felt in the growing shoe , dry
goods , saddlery and tobacco business of the
city.At
At Milwaukee business is larger than a
year ago.
At St. Paul and Minneapolis business is
fairly good , though collections are backward.
The lumber trade is very active and wheat
receipts at Minneapolis are 1,000,000 bushels
larger than last year.
Trade at Omaha is active , and at Kansas
City decidedly greater than a year ago.
At Sioux City business is especially active ,
with a good demand for money.
Trade at Denver is very fair , at Louisville ,
n full avcragcand at Little Kock , improving ,
because of the rise in cotton.
Bnsiness'at Memphis is dull , but very good
in holiday lines ; at Nashville and at New
Orleans , fair , with money in good demand
and general trade is helped by the improve
ment in prices of cotton.
iifiu'ral ItiiKlnosH Outlook.
Coal is exceedingly quiet. The trust has
advanced the price of whisky again , appar
ently hoping that the government will in
crease the tax. The movement of bools and
shoes continues remarkably large , and it is
noticed that orders from the south are un
usually free.
In the dry goods business increased
strength Is seen in cottons , and sales of wool
for the year at the two largest markets havo-
becn 2S8,01fi-lT ! ) pounds against K J,531,290
for the same weeks last year , an increase of
more than 51,000.000 pounds. It is noted that
the freight movement , both eastward and
westward , is unusually heavy.
The movement of gold does not for the
. present cause especial stringency in the
money market here , because currency is coin
ing this way from the interior. Neverthe
less , it is felt that any considerable outgo at
this season must affect prices of products ,
and wheat is nearly 1 cent lower than a
week ago , with but moderate sales. Corn is
about 1 cent higher , and oats obstinately un
changed. In the cotton market extraordi
nary Speculation continues with sales of
moro than 1,000.000 bales for the week and a
slight advance in prices. Money has been a
little dearer , the rate on call rising from to
B per cent , and foreign exchange has mt-
vaneed from J-1.88 to S-I.S84. The treasury
lias made no important change in the supply
of money during the week , the main differ
ences having been the result of the exports

NnwYoiiK , Deo. lO. Bradstreot's tomor
row will say : The cotton crop of IS'JJ ' will
bo short. Ou this point there is a unanimity
of opinion' quite unsurpassed. Our advices
as to decreased cotton acreage published
last spring are fully corroborated. The rex -
] x > rt to Brudslrcet's contains the substance
of reports from 1,89'J correspondents in 071
cotton growing counties , an average of
nearly thrco reports to each county ,
in all averaging alwut 85 per cent
of the cotton growing urea in the
United States , Though weather during the
picking season this year on the whole was
not as good as last year , it still was so
favorable for gathering the crop throughout
a largo area to bo worthy of notice. The
line showing made by the Camllmis , Geor
gia and Florida is worthy of noto. In Alabama -
bama , Mississippi , Louisiana and Texas the
showing In this respect is good to fair.
Tennessco enjoyed good weather. In Ar
kansas , however , complaints of a cold , wet
fall are almost universal and this , no doubt ,
has had an Important Influence on the yield.
AVIirri ! tliu Crop Wax lln < licit.
Starting with the southern Atlantic stales
and following the coast west , wo find the
most fuvorablo unsworn to the questions as
to the top crop closely agreeing with the re
ports regarding planting weather. The same
is naturally true as to the quality of tliu
crop. The best reports as to tlicso questions
come from the Carol Inns , Georgia uml Flor
ida , whcro the crop hits been gathered in ex
cellent condition , with the staple white and
clean , though a little short in places and the
lint dry , thus affecting the weights of the
bales , with llttlo complaint of frost damage ,
though the lalcness of the season naturally
affected unfavorably the late growth.
From Alabama , Mississippi and the south
west there Is moro talk of damage from
frost , with naturally fewer advices on top
crop and quality , particularly hi Alabama
and Mississippi , The showing made by
Arkansas , duo to the late wet fall and early
frosts , Is a poor one.
The question on the crop movement being
out , the statement Is made that the crop is
moving faster than usual , The late ad.
Minces In price are said to bo responsible for
this. In this connection the smallnes.s of
Blocks held at interior points is freely in
stanced ,
Thent is also said to bo n notable absence
of ginned cotton , in preceding years BO
frequently mentioned. The replies to the
question us to the percentage of the crop
Btlll unpicked ahowa that there was on
December U from < 3 per cent remaining in the
south Atlantic states to 7 IKT cent In the
Mississippi valley uml Arkansas. Although
a great dual of cotton had been parted with
* by planters before the late heavy advance in
' priixu , the financial return * on the present
crop , the chcapMt over in.ido In the south ,
have been encouraging.

fluenres operated to rentier the decrease

The large decrfaso In the acreage planted
In cotton this year Is considered the most
IHnverful Influence towards reducing the
yield. This was aided by the late
ness of the planting ; season , by ex-
ccsslvo rains. In .Tuno and .Inly In most
of the states , by overflows in the Missis
slppl valley , by damage by worms in the
lower Mississippi valley and hy bad harvest
ing weather In Arkansas and Tennessee.
The heaviest percentages" of decrease come
from Arkansas and Florida , the former's
decrease In acreage being emphasized by
bad wcnthor , while the area put Into other
crops amply explains the hitler's decrease.
Mississippi , I/Mitslana and Tennessee re-
l > ort heavy decreases in yield , also duo to
causes already .mentioned. Alabama's de
crease is also large. In the Atlantic states
this tendency is rather less pronounced : the
smallest decrease is naturally looked for In
Texas , but oven there the falling off. Judged
by the convspondents' replies , is pronounced.
A summary of the. returns received indi
cates that the probable total yield will not
exceed 0,4COOOo bales.

Nr.\v YHHK , Dee. 10. Bradstreet's state
ment of trade says : Trade features of the
week are found In continued weakness in
pig iron , wheat and wool , wltb strength in
cotton , sugar , shoes , leather , lumber , rubber ,
tobacco , whisky , hog products , shirtings
and prints ami higher rales for call loans ,
duo to the outlook for heavier gold exports.
General tradeat Charleston nml Nashville
is heavier than it was last month. The de
mand for holiday specialties is the feature
nt Atlanta and Galveston. Collections at
hnost all southern cities nro very satisfac-
.ory anil the outlook for spring trade is good.
Sales of sugar at New Orleans have been ex-
'cntlonally ' heavy at constantly advancing
rices. Hice is active but steady.
A disturbance of loans , started by prcpar-
tions for next week's anticipated gold slitp-
; ients , seems primarily responsible for acute
-ymptoms - of stringency in the New York call
oan market. Fears of a currency crisis in
onnection with the depletion of the specie
cservo gives , however , cause for tangible
pprehensions.
In the east the shoo factories are very
lusily at work on spring goods , while rubber
'actorics are behind on their orders. Bos
on reports an active trade in cotton goods
it full llgurcs , but a dull wool market. The
'otton mills have seldom , if over , been sold
10 well ahead , carrying , as they do , largo
. Qiitracls , which run far into ISM. Prints
arc very linn , with only 5,000 pieces at Fall
Uiver , against -IWi.OOO a yearngo , and 874,000
> ieccs two years ago.
At the west trade is characterized by sea-
enable activity in holiday specialties and
'orresponding ' relaxation in some other lines.
General trade throughout the Canadian
dominion is slack , as is customary at this
ime. At Toronto woolens are lirmcr.
Travelers arc sending in orders for spring
lielivery.i. Wheat is at the lowest price this
year. High prices are had for hog products
it Montreal , though slack sales. Collcc-
ions arc fair.

NEW YOUK , Doc. 10. Bradstreet's weekly
\Vallstreetrevicwsays : The actual ship-
nont of 81U.0OOa gold to Europe this week
was apparently less influential upon the
temper of speculation than the possibly ex
aggerated rumors prevalent in regard to the
shipments next week. The condition of the
country's foreign trade renders the export
of considerable specie a natural and
inavoidablo process. The idea that $10.000- ,
000 more gold will bo taken to the continent
next week appears to be somewhat over the
mark. Nevertheless there is little doubt
that .JTi.OOO.OOO and more will go out. As the
Now York bank surplus is already
down to $ T ,000,000 , such a drain
wouM , in the best of times.
create concentration in the loan market and
force more or less speculative liquidation ,
According to its duration and severity. At
this moment , however , an additional compli
cation is created by the existence of the
Sherman act , and the steady re-
luction of the treasury's available
balance of specie. "Wall street has
not , in practice , taken a pessimistic view of
the situation , it is , however , now forced to
regard the possibility of a slight premium on
gold or the appearance of the treasury as a
borrower fov the purpose of replenishing its
gold reserves and maintaining the silver
certillcates at a parity with gold as directed
in the act.

BOSTONMass. . , Dec. 10. The annual din
ner of the Now Kngland Tariff Heform
league was held at the American house this
evening. President Henry L. Pierce was the
presiding officer. The speakers' were lion.
Charles ' S. Falrchlld , secretary of the
treasury under Cleveland : lion. Harry M.
Shcpard , Hon. Joslah Qulncy niul William
Brice.
Mr. Falrchlld was the first speaker. He
discussed the various Issues of\tho recent
campaign , and said that the crOatest tssuo
before the country today was tl d currency
question.
' if the people of this country , * ' he said ,
"can bo successfully educated as to the lim-
it'itions of the power of the government over
values in money , a great point Is gained. A
superstition surrounds the words 'legal len
der. ' If that couh'ft r removed , all the evils
which threatened us would be removed. His
a constant belief that llio government has a
mysterious power to Infuse a value into a
substance otherwise valueless and to add to
the value , which is already a substance , by
putting It in the form of bank bills or coined
money and calling it legal tender money.
"I don't think there is any'power in gov
ernment to glvo value to anything by adding
legal tender quality to It. Legal tender
paper money there has not only been the
legal tender quality , but there nas also
been the promise to pay. Other
moneys in other parts of the world
have had this legal tender quality ,
and tills promise to pay and wo have found
them becoming utterly valueless , and yet re
taining that legal tender quality. During
the war the country found with the same
volume of greenbacks the same volume -
umo of business , the same amount of
antecedent debts which could be paid
with that money , would vary enor
mously between morning and afternoon.
The legal tender quality had not varied ; the
need for money had not varied ; the popula
tion liad not varied ; the business had not
varied. What had varied was the average
belief of the American people ns to the ulti
mate redccmability of the promise to pay.
"When the United States is no longer able
to fullill that promise to make good that
credit , then money must stand on its founda
tion , and the foundation will bo the value
of the silver bullion in llio world.
There is no reason in llio nature of things
why tlie government should forbid me from
assigning it to my neighbor and him paying
it on and that sis a bank note. There is no
more sense in depriving the American people
of one of the most useful devices of modern
times because some one may some
time lose by it , than there is in depriving
them of the other forms of commercial
credit.
In tbn face of tbn vast usefulness of a
oed bank note circulation , which will pass
'roin hand to bund readily , but not u legal
tender. I say it is utter imbecility for the
\mcriean people to lie down and say they
cannot do that. "
The speaker described an interview with
President Cleveland Just after bis message
of ISsr. in which Mr. Fail-child bad prophe
sied ultimate success as tbo res.ilt , and
closed with an eloquent tribute to Mr.
Cleveland , which was loudly applauded.
lion. Harvey Shepard then spoke nnd at
tributed republican defeat at the recent
election to the MclCinley bill.
Mr. W. B. Kiec , in bis remarks , said the
tariff was a business question. It was non
sense to talk of free trade or anything ap-
n'oaching it for years to come. Gradually
.ho tariff could bo lowered until it reached
the amount collected prior to the war.

LOCAL RAILROAD NEWS.
Opi'niiors Keeping I'p ' the Tight on the Hock
"We now biive twenty-two operators at
our hotel. " said Secretary Gilliland of the
Omaha division of tlie Order of Kailway
Telegraphers to a Bni : reporter last night.
Eight of these came in off tbo Iowa division
of the Uock Island today. But the company
seems to have an inexhaustible supply , for as
fast as wo get a man out of an oflico tboro is an
other stuck in. Three ofitees between hero
and DCS Moines wcrecioscd yesterday. They
may be opened this morning. But it must
not ibo considered that these follows the
company is hiring are good operators or that
they are 'employed ' permanently. It is in
this fact that wo gain tbo little consolation
there is for us. The company has three
classes of operators in its offices today : the
first elass is the clerks from the general
offices who draw salaries ranging
from $10 to $25 higher than Is
paid to the operators at the offices they
take ; the second is the students , who
get " 0 per month , and who were never before
fore allowed to telegraph except under tlio
supervision of a competent operator ; and
the third is made up of the shiftless tramps
who do not and will not stay in a place
longer than a month. It is my opinion that
this arrangement of the company is only
intruded to exist till it can starve out the
operators who are on a strike , and then they
will lie given their old places if they ask for
them. But wo are in good shape to stand u
siege and wo will light -it out right now.
Chief Hamsay is still sanguine and the men
are linn as ever , and tbo company will bo
worried worse than wo are before this war
is over. "

General G. M. Dodge , General Stanley , Mr.
A. Harman and Mr. Granger , who have been
on n visit to Omaha for the past two days
yesterday took u look at the industrial in
terests of the city , having inspected the
water works at Florence , tbo machine shops
of tlio Union Pacific and the stock yards nt
South Omaha. General Dodge has mater
ially changed his estimate of Omaha sincp
the early days when he labored so earnestly
to build n great metropolis on tbo site whcro
Council Bluffs now stands. In fact , to his
friends , General Dodge admits his mistake
and would try to make amends , no doubt ,
for his past efforts to discredit the metropo
lis of Nebraska. But then all the general's
interests wore on the other side of the Mis
