UKSOIINOII UN Whole.
The condition of 6maliii'H trade during
last week line been very sHll fuctofry. job-
b rs arc no longer complaining of the tin-
Mu.fonp.blo weather , but uro buy getting
thi-lr spring lines In nhnpo and Hiving little
thuuKht lo trade In heavyweight goods.
Now that the demand for winter Hoods Is
practically over with In most lines local
Jobbers llnd that they by no means have
him n bad season. Retailers bought lib
erally onrly In the full in anticipation of n
bl winter demand , which undoubted , y
would have been fully realized had there
been the uiual amount of cold weather ,
but as It was , retail trade In many sec
tions was rather light on cold weather
goods , so that duplicate orders were not us
nutneroiiM n usual. The fact that dealers
bought unusually heavy orders last fall
went a long way.- , however , In making tip
for the lack of duplicate orders , during
the last few weeks , so that jobbers really
have very little to complain of. On the
contrary they have much to feel encour
aged over , as nearly all local jobbers report
the largest and best assortment of advance
Hprlng orders that they have ever had this
early In the season. It would seem then
tlmi retailers out through the country ate
In pretty good shape and have plenty of
confidence In future trade. There were very
few changes last week In market values ,
though there was the name llrmncss all
along thr line that has prevailed for many
months past and what few fluctuations
were reported were In the nature of ad
vances. Lot nl retailers reported u nice.
trade last week , as the weather conditions
were such as to bring out the shoppers In
lariru numbers.
CrocrrlrM Ailvitnrc Slmrplj- .
Wholesale grocers had another bis run
ot business last week and say that in vol
ume of sales they uro making good sub
stantial gains over the showing made dur
ing the corresponding period of last year.
The general tone of llio market Is firm ,
with an tipward tendency and In several
cases miotablo advances were reported. Hie
sugar market was rather excited last week
nnd advanced sharply. It Is now G-lCc
higher than It was ten days ago , which
Is the sharpest advance which has taken
place In several months. All grades uro
affected by this rife and Indications are
thought favorable for still higher prices.
Coffee. Is also going up rapid y and local
jobbers are freely predicting that It Is go
ing to continue to advance. They say tliu
visible supply 1ms decreased since October
1 about l.iuO.OO' ( ' ) bags ) , which Is a good Indi
cation that consumption has very materi
ally Increased and for that .m1lso'nr' ! ' ' -
Ing for an advancing market. 'I hero V.IIH
very little If any change la week in
canned goods. thoiiEh the market Is In a
very strong position. Especially Is this
true of 'corn nnd tomatoes , which are per
haps a trlllo higher than they were a week
ago and are much llrmer In tone than they
have been for some time past , iho only
change in farinaceous goods was n still
further advance In beans , which also In
cludes California dried limns. Common salt
advanced 15u pur barrel last week. which
carries It to the highest point reached In
several years.
"Will Maintain Value * .
Hardware jobbers cay they are Just be-
ci inlng to get started In on the new year
a 1 nnd that present Indications point to
? ven greater prosperity than was experi
enced durliiff last year. Not ono of the
leant encouraging ff-atures Is the lioa thy
condition of the market. Jobbers say that
tliero Is no doubt but what there s going
lo bo the same scarcity of goods this year
as last , which means that there will be no
surplus of stock to have a weaken nc n-
llueneo on fho market. Then top , the In-
dlcatlomi are that the demand will bo oven
greater than It was a year ago , so that
those who are Hi a position to know say
that there Is not the slightest doubt but
what present values will be maintained for
at Icrtat the first six months of the year ,
and an far as known at present there Is no
reason for thlnklnir that there will bo any
change in tor In the year. Many dealers
are so confident that they are predicting
Btlll higher prices and sny that the top has
not been reached by a long ways. Local
Jobbers report conditions In the territory
tributary to this market most encouraging
nnd uro looklne for the heaviest run of
spring business over experienced. Retailers
ors out through the country have , as
general thins , had a good trade , all winter
nnd consequently are buying heavily for
spring. Collections are In coed shape nnd
no complaints of any kind are heard. The
market was without special feature last
week. Nulls and wlro uro in a very strong
position , though no quotable change ha *
taken place since the advance of 25 per
cent , which went Into effect the 1st of the
year. Practically all lines are very linn
but quotations remain the same.
Dry GoodH Firm.
Dry cood.i men are still busy getting Ir.
their spring goods. They uro rapidly get
ting UicJr Blocks In shape , Jiowever , ami
como Bprlnggood's ' duive already beoi
whipped. This week will probably see the
real conimciiccmonti of wprlnjj shipments
nmJ , judglnc from tlio way orders nre com
ing liv at the iprosent time , Jobbers say it
will b a lone tlmo before Uiey will ge.t
< -a UK tit up. Tiho fiu-t 'thnt the weather Sins
born rather unfavorable ! for the demand
for winter good does not seem to stop re
tailers 'from placing very liberal orders for
spring anil summer goods ami If the pres
ent rate bo maintained throughout the year
Jobbers say tihey will 'have ' Iho be t trade
on record. There were no changes In mar
ket quotations worthy of mention , thoim'h
practically all lines nre as firm as ever with
the same upwaixlitondejicy ,
IlllllllPICOOllH SIOIV.
Nothing of much Importance took phioi
last week with 'boot ' and choe jobbers. Tuiey
too , are getting In stocks and preparing ti
Hturt lifting Mie.lr advance orders , of which
They have < i liberal .supply. Traveling men
am pending In very favorable re-ports from
various sections of Mils part of the country
nnd are all predicting an Immense trad'
when It fairly gets started. The facet tha
they have already obtained moro than tin
usual ii'iimbor ' of orden * for tills season o
the year speaks well for future business.
Not much c-an bo said of the rubber busl
ness , tin thorn practically Is none. Uubbe
I'hoos ' nor I'lol'hing ' have not been in demnm
for ome tlmi ) and consequently jobbers ur
receiving very IIUlo Immediate business. A

Market In StoeUn Continue * ( o He nil
KlllKIIIII.
NEW YORK , Jan. 0. The market In
stocks continues an enigma which any
ordinary rules of inlcrprctatlon arc un
availing to solve. Yesterday's buying of
stocks was prompted by the expectation of
a favorable bank statement. The state
ment proved moro favorable than the most
sanguine expectations , yet the market lost
even the small animation It had been show
ing when thfi statement appeared on the
tape. The net changes In prlcea are wltli
out significance , those of any amount being
restricted to insignificant stocks. London
reported a firm and confident market , but
the confidence did not extend to the point
of holding American stocks up to parity
level and the opening here was very ragged
and Irregular. The lack of any upward
impetus from London nnd the titter Indlf-
forenco manifested to the bank statement
offered a poor market In which to realize ,
or selling by yesterday's buyers might
have been larger. In the absence of de
mand they seemed satisfied to keep their
holdings. But there was no Inclination to
ncld to them ,
The bank statement fully reflected the
expected reflux of unemployed funds to
New York , the total gain In cash being no
less than $11,53(1,000. ( It was not suspecled
that employment for these funds hud been
found to as large an extent as indicated by
the loan expansion of $1,579,100. The buying
of mercantile paper by the banks , which
has been more active during the week , will
scarcely account for much of this Increase
and certainly no operations on the Stock
exchange are snlllclent to account for It.
Unless some special transaction Ii dis
closed to explain It It is probable that the
business of Industrial combination and
flotation Is beginning to avail Ithelf ugaln
of the easier money rates.
The good demand for bonds continued today -
day and prices generally were advanced.
The dullness of the stock market has been
unrelieved during the week , except by ef
forts of professional operators to induce : .
movement nf prices In some of the mysteiy-
onshroudeil Industrials. Only on Monday
and Friday did dealings exceed COJ.O ( )
shares anil on Tuesday thry fell below 2 .0-
000. A largo proportion of the small deal-
Ing. ! of the wok have been In Huijur , To
bacco , Brooklyn Transit and the Now York
Traction stocks and rnlled States Lia'h'r ,
with no authentic information on which to
base operations. The board room traders ,
who are In and out of the same stocks every
day , find their occupation gone when prices
comn to a standstill. The dealings In the
eliiHS of stocks referred to represent noth
ing moro than the efforts of this chiMi to
earn a livelihood. The evident approach
of a crisis In the military situation In Souih
Africa in one factor In tin * waiting uttltudu
of speculation , while enlightenment us to
the future of business ami Industry as a
whole Is awaited to gauge the future.

NIOW YORK. Jan. 20.-COTTON-The
market opotiod steady , with near months 2
fi3 points higher and far months unclnned
to 2 points lower. This was a disappoint
ing response to good cables fioni Liverpool
and llrm advices from leading points of the
south. In both departments the English
market displayed pronounced strength ,
said by private cables to have originated In
bullish news from this side and increasing
alarm among European shorts. Now Or
leans dispatches were authority for the
.statement that holders In the back country
and also some of the larger towns ami ports
had advanced spot cotton VMTI-iec. The c rep
movement was steady , llglit and on all
sides a steady shrinkage In slocks wns ap
parent. In the local market the feeling was
bullish , but caution was inspired In view
of a refusal of outsiders to take hold.
Europeans , Wall street traders and shorts
were the best buyers this morning. Some
longs sold for profits. Trading was quite
active for a Saturday half holiday. The
market closed steady at a net advance of
4fti > points on near months and far months

CAT1 LE There were not enough cattle
hero to iriike a market or interest buyers ,
so that even the few loads on sale did not
chiuiKo ha nils ny too readily. H would
have to lie called a nominally steady
market , and that Is about all that can bo
SVio"cat'tlo : market this week ban boon
bad. At the four markets there has boon
a wain for the week of abuiit 10,000 bend
in the receipts as compared with the cor
responding week of last year. The heavy
receipts have depressed the market at all
points. ChieiiBO reports medium cattle Wt <
50c lower for the week and common klnilP
and the best grades 25c lower. At this
market the receipts have been very light
and the market In consequence has ! ield
tip better than nt other points , still price-
litro are l.Wi20o lower than last week. Cat
tle forwarded from he-re have sold In < hi-
cage dnrbiB the- week at prices that were
10'HldO lower IM.in were bid for them here.
'Iho feelliiB among operators Is that had
there.boon more cattle here thl ; ' market
would have been 'way lower under the In-
lluneo of tlio big break at Chicago.
Cows and heifers sold lower durlni ; the
mlddle of the week , but picked up again
so that the market Is not much different
at the elo.io of the week from what It was
at the close of last week.
Stackers and feeders have boon In light
supply nil Uio week and on that account
Iho market has not oxperloneisl muith
t-h.inge. Good feeders weighing 9CO jiaundH
und upwards aie In the best deinund and
the market on that kind of stuiT Is all that
sellers could ask for. The lighter cattle
are loss sought after nnd are In larger sup
ply , BO that the market on that kind has

IIOOS ThPic was u fair run of hogs for
the last day of the week. The market
was n llttlo bettor than ' . - ) ex
treme eloso , but not .so good as yesterday's
opening market. The bulk of all the hogs
sold at J.52'iJi 1.55 , the same as yesterday ,
and It will bo noted that the average of all
the sales was not much different from yes
terday. Toward the close Chicago came a
llttln bettor , MO that the late market , If
anything , was a little better than tin1
earlier market. Ono very fancy load sold
at $4.c2'i. ; '
The hog market this week liu had Its
ups nnd downs , though th-1 extreme lliio-
turtlons have boon within narrow hounds.
The week slarloil out with an advance of
fie , but on Tuesday the gain was all losl
and on Wednesday thf-ro was a Mmllai-
decline , MO linn iho hogs on that day sold
.lust 10o lower than they did on Monday.
On Thursday Iho market gained back 7V' .
bill eased off n little on Friday and Satur
day. The week oloscd with the market
back Just whore It was at the close of Ihe
previous woe-It. A Blanco at the table of
nvoraitc prices will show that while the
market has dm'tinted ! hack and foith the
general tendency of values has boon up
ward all this month. While the market
this week closed back lo whore It wat
at the close of liiht week , the hogs on an
average sold higher this week than they
did lust week , and last week tlu > hogs
brought moro money than they did the
llrHt week of the month. The market U
fnllv 0r higher than it wan the llrst ol the
