Payments Through Clearing Houses Increase Twenty-Four Thousand Millions. GREAT EXPANSION IN PRODUCTION lit Four Chief Western Cuttle lH Three 1'er Cent /U Than In 1H1IS , Ilut Hide ( I NEW YORK , Dec. S. R. G. Dun & ) Co.'s Weekly. Review of Trade , which Issues to morrow , will say : approach of n now year usually brings so much of hesitation In business that the small shrinkage this year Is sur prising. Probably never before have the productive forces of the country been so largely covered by contracts at this date , Insuring employment and prollt far Into the coming year. This results , not from any mere speculative excitement , but from ac tual demands for consumption running far beyond the producing capacity heretofore ami pushing It to remarkable expansion. The inrreiist } In foreign trndo has been In- slKiilllunnt compared with the Increase of $24,00i,000,000 In payments through clearing houses. For the week the payments have been 20.3 per cent larger than last year nnd 3S.I per cent larger than In 1892. Prices , of. pig1 Iron are strongly main tained , though extraordinary efforts prom ise. an Increase of over a quarter In produc ing capacity within n year , because the en tire output ot moi > t furnaces for the first , ami In part for thfr last , half of next year has been sold .already. Sheet bars are a Hhade lower owing to the closing of many tlnpluto works , The demand for cars anil other railroad 'equipment Is enormous , and also f6r shlppllipr , both lake and ocean.

Hides are again ptrojiRor nt Chicago , al though receipts of cattle at the four chief western miirUotr In eleven months have been a per' cent larger than In the previous yar , as the demand for consumption In manufacture has evidently increased much more. Thus western production of boots und shoes has gained more than eastern , yet shipments from Boston for the year liave teen 372,000 casesor O.a per cent more than last year and 937,000 cases , or AI7.S per cent more than In 1W2. when cattloxrecalpts were 7S per cunt larger than this year , Wool has advanced further , with much speculative buying , though most manufac turers have supplied wants for the present and are leap dlsponed to purchase at prices now averaging higher than at any time slucct Juno 15 , 1S91. Higher prices demanded in the Interior nnil rising prices abroad ulvp confidence In spite of the fact that goods have advanced from the lowest paint this year only 19.2 per cent. Cotton IP weakened by accounts of largo quantities hold back and has de clined ' ,4c , but reports are suttlclent to make speculation active , notwithstanding the de crease of 20,000 bales , or 24,4 per cent In ex ports for three months for the crop year. Taking ot spinners has been large , the de mand for t'otton goods la heavy and covers production far ahead In many lines , while feare of Important wrlkes have been uls- pulli'd by a general advance of wages.

Brudetrrot'e Finan cial Review tomorrow will"ay : Speculation has murowed perceptibly this week nnU the fluctuations In the lUt worn again , to u very large oxlcnt. dud to pro- ial trading. The disposition of the , is the cm ) of the year approaches HI'CIIIH to be to reduce Its outstanding con tracts und \\-iilt until the January disbursement ment- ! , -.re completed , and the market , us horn- 1. w | | | be returned to u normal rondl- IVli. The fuu that supplies of fuiidw Jn the r ill loin market were apnarently smaller tills week and that the bulk of the borrow ing , wns at 6 per cent or better , tended to support this view and render the street-nt- largo cautious , if not bf irlsh. The fact that no Important return flow of money from the interior can be detected , but that , on the contrary , the south and other sec tions continue to draw funds from New York and that the sales of government bonds to the treasury under the extension of Secretary Gage's offer are now prac tically suspended , are not without their effect on sentiments. Moreover , It is appre ciated In banking circles and by largo spec ulative Interests that the critical point in the foreign financial situation is approach ing. The Bank of England , It Is true , did not advance Us rate this week , while the Bank of France mttrkcd Its figure up to 3V4 per cent to meet the probable movement or cold from Paris to London forePhadowed by it rise In sterling exchange at the former city. Bankers here are disposed to bellovo that the Bank of France will not oppose the transfer of a limited amount of gold to London und In commenting on the strength of sterling exchange In New York prpclnlm a disbelief that any ftold will be shipped from this country. The foreign monetary position , complicated as It Is by the war in South Africa nnd the slow and doubtful progress of the British forces , undoubtedly acts ns a check on the markets hero and Increases the disposition to restrict transactions decided speculative tions and discourage any tive activity while such elements of uncer tainty are apparent. imADSTKUKT'S IIBVIEW OF TUA1H3.

Bradstreet's to morrow will sny : The last month of the year has opened nusplclously. finding trade , nnd industry generally well employed , demand treading close upon nnd even passing supply , labor troubles averted In some instances by widespread advances In wages , of Hinall Importance except in one or two cities , and with the general level of values of staples nt the highest point reached for eight years past. Holiday demand has opened well and collections from retail trades therefore show some Improvement. The Mtrenffth of cereals , notably wheat , this week Is n reflection larcely of de creased receipts at the northwest. In creases In November this year were not ns large either In this country or abroad as they were ono year ngo , nnd to this extent the outlook Is less bearish , nnd owing to the smaller world's production- this year hopes of well maintained prices have not been abandoned. Cotton has lost most of the notable strength displayed in past weokR. owing chiefly to n portion of the apeculatlvo element becoming tired nnd selling freely on slightly Increased receipts. Toward the close morn strength wus no- tlcnablo on Improved foreign buying ami the nnt change for the week Is not ser oils. After a year of unprecedented activity i and advancing prices Iron and steel ara quiet , with few significant changes , partly ] because the season of the year lee not favor now work untl partly also owing to the fact that producers nro very generally sold up to the mlddlo of November. Prices show no marked change , plates nnd sheets beliiff relatively weakest nmong the fin ished products , while bars nro strong. Copper shows little change , but tin Is lower ngnln , affecting decreasing specula tive Interest nnd smaller consumptive ) do- manda. Activity In hardware Is largely confined to holiday specialties , which nre experiencing an active movement nt most markets. The feature of the coal trade has boon Increasing scarcity of bituminous grades ent > t and west. Some markets were practically bare of supplies. Ti ! strength of wool Is apparently unim paired , though domund 'la quieter. London prices have again moved higher , ami the amull avnllublo supply of line grades sup ports the belief that prices will mill rise.

CLOSE BIG BASE BALL DEAL Fourteen Louisville Players Are Sold to the Pittsburg Magnates. TV/ENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PAID Four MoiitlinrH of the IM Ml > ur Club An ; Tltotvu In UN u Iloniix Clurk to MuniiKCev Tea in. PITTSBURG , Dec. S. The biggest base ball deal made In tht ! < city since 1885 , when Pittsburg purchased the entire Columbus club , was consummated today and the many rumors conccrnlns the Pittsburg club's fu ture are set at rest. Brlelly told , the story Is as follows : On October 31 Barney Droyfuss resigned as president of the Loulsvlllo club and dis- pcatil of his holdings entirely. Mr. Drey- fuEs then clcsed a deal with the Pittsburg management , whereby he became possessor of a goad sized block of stock and the as- turanco of his election r.s president at the club mooting next week , just after the Na tional league meeting. Today Harry Pul- llarn , who succeeded 'Mr. Dreyfuss ns pres ident of the Louisville club , came to the city and , after a conference with Messrs. Kerr , Auton and Dreyfusa , announced that ho had sold to Pittsburg fourteen Louisville players , tlin consideration being $25,000 In cash and four members of the local club. They arc Chesbro , O'Brien , Fox and Madison. The fourteen players bought from Louls vlllo are aa follows : Clark , who will bo cap tain manager of the new Plttsburg club ; Wagner , Ritchie , Leach , Kelly , Zlinmer , Lat- imer , Tom Merrltt , Wnddell , Cunningham , Phllllppl , Flaherty , Charlw Doyle und Woods. All Interested In the deal declare positively that thcro Is nothing akin to syndicate ball in the move , but solely an endeavor to put a pennant winner in thlo city , which is looked upon as one of the best ball towns In the country. A radical change from the past policy of the Pittsburg club will bo the playing of Sunday games this ye r. The new acquisi tions glvo Plttsburg thirty players , gome of whom will doubtless bo put , on ale during the Icacuo meeting In New York.

The hill on which the old city stands Is surrounded by other high hills , crowned with towers and ramparts and covered with trees. The great castle fortress stands out boldly. The old zenana , or women's apartments an extensive block of buildings , surrounded by a court Is the only place which Is Inhabited. This Is a well populated and lively quarter , since a trlba of langour or hoonoomaun monkeys have taken possession and dwell hero In coralort nnd freedom.
