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. Tn |
Is weak at .frt&c and copper declined to lO c ,
bufci'lpnd ' and spelter are stronger.
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.
Wheat has risen : i cents und corn a frac
tion , with a decline- western receipts of
both. Atlantic oxuorts of wheat for the

NEW YORk , 'Dec ' , 8. 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.

NEW YORK , Dec. S. 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.

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.

Mrs. Clara Ersklne Clement describee
graphically in St. Nicholas a visit to the
ancient city of St. Nicholas a visit to tht
Inhabited only by a few priests and thou-
Eands of monkeys. 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. The Hindus refrain from
hurting or killing any animal , and the
monkeys , having no fear , are monarch. ? of
all they cheese to take.
The hoonoomaun , or langour , is the sacred
monkey , and the largest found in India. Itj
height Is from two and a half to four feet ,
Its body Is singularly slender and supple , Itt
face Is black and smooth , except for Ions
white whiskers , the. hair on the body Is gray
on the back and white under the stomach , Ua
tall Is long and bare , with a single tuft of
hair on the end. The Hindus have a legend
which explains Its very black face. It rays
that , ages ago , Hoonoomaun , the klug of the
monkeys , went to assist Rama In the con
quest of Ceylon. The demon-king of the
island had carried off Llta , the wlfo of
Rama , and he was determined to rescue her.
AB they came near the- Island Hconoomaun
easily leaped over the straits , so skillful a
jumper was he , and , finding Llta , ho wai

band wa approaching when Hnnnina , the
demon-king , appeared and made Hoouos-
maun prisoner. After setting fire to the
monkey's long tall , he gave him his free
dom , that ho might return to Rama , Hoe
noomaun succeeded In blowing out the 11 ro
at the end of his tali , hut in so doing ho
blackened his face and ulngoil his hair In a
