the Yeur,
Tim condition of trndo In this locality last
week wan most satisfactory. The fuct that
thero were only tlvo business days In the
week naturally had a tendency to reduco
tho total amount of business transacted,
but ut tho sumo time cnouKh was done In
thoso flvo days to neurly make up for the
loss of tho sixth. Hensonnble goods nro
now moving out nt n rapid rntc nnd not
nearly ns many complaints nre heard on
that ecoro us was the case a shaft time
go. Tho general belief ftma to be that
when eevero winter weather docs arrive the
demand for heavyweight, Roods will be some
thing enormous. For that reason rnerchunts
re anticipating their wants to a groat ex
tent. Tho healthy condition of tho market
makes them willing to buy for further re
quirements, as thero Is llttlo danger of
lower values rulliiK for some tlmo to como.
Tho demand for holiday gods so far has
been phenomenal nnd It Is a noticeable fea
ture that tho higher priced lines have, been
tho best sellers. Thero arc not many of
what might ha called novelties this year,
as such lines do not take as well during
rrosperous times ns when money Is scarce.
When times nre good people seem to tnko
more readily to staple lines of good qual
ity when selecting their Christmas gifts
than they do to tho cheaper novelties us
ually offered.
Tho market on practically all linen of
foods remains In a good llrm condition,
leports received from eastern points show
that tho demnnd at tho hands of manufac
turers Is greatly Improved nnd that they
now hnve about all tho business they can
handle. Tho outlook for future trade Is
also considered most favorable nnd as a
result the tendency on tho part of manu
facturers Is to hold tholr lines nt Rood
s( route prices nnd In some cases aro begin
ning to advance their quotations. Hunlncsn
In u Jobbing way Is also on tho Increase
and In fact every department of business
scorns to bo In n moyt healthy condition.
As long ns such conditions last thero Is of
course no chaneo for prices to tnko a drop
and people in general nrn counting on the
present wave of prosperity being perma
nent. If their predictions are truo tho
trend of prices will necessarily bo upward
nnd merchandise for thut reason will be
good properly.
Coffer Mnrkrt Weak.
Tho coffee market last week took a still
farther dron. green stock going off Me dur
ing tho earlier part of tho week, but later
on firmed up n trlllo. Package oolTeo de
clined a full cent, owIub to tho rivalry ex
isting between tho Lyon nnd Arbuekle com
panies. Tho Lyon people wero tho first to
break tho price, but their lend was quickly
followed by Arhucklc. Tho market on cof
feo of nil grades continues dull nnd com
paratively llttlo business Is being trnns-
ACt?di
Thero Is nothing new to be snld regard
ing tho situation In sugnr. ns the market
remains In n good strong position.
Farinaceous roods remain the same as nt
Inst report with tho exception of oatmeal,
which eased off tho tlrst part of the week.
The loss, however, was partly regained tho
latter part of tho week. The demand for
such lines as nuts, candles, raisins, canned.
oofls, dried fruits, etc., continues very
eavy. owing to tho near approach of the
holidays, nnd It Is thought that there will
be nn enormous trndo In thoso lines during
tho next two weeks. Prices have shown no
quotable change during tho week, nil lines
remaining good and llrm. Owing to the
high prlco of corn syrups nro nrmlng up.
Hardware Market AdvnneliiK.
Local Jobbers report a good active mar
ket on all seasonable lines of hardware.
Considering tho fact that thero hns been no
very severe weather the demand for winter
Roods so far has been exceptionally heavy.
This seems to be the case not only ati.thls
point, but nllj)ver tho country as welh and
as a result tho market Is firm and a number
of lines nro being advanced. Onlvuntzcd
Iron, for example, 1ms been marked up 10
fier cent nnd black sheets have advanced
Oo per hundred. Another lino that has re
cently advanced Is carrlaga bolts, which
lmvo been ninrked up 10 per cent. Ropo Is
also going tip steadily, present quotations
being nbout lMc higher than thoso ruling
thirty days ago. These nre somo of the
mora Importnnt changes that have taken
plnco In tho last few dnyB, but they nro a
good Indication of tho general trend of
prices. Tho Iron nnd steel market In hard
ening up, which, of course. Influences, more
or leSB, nil lines Into which those articles
enter. Taking everything Into considera
tion, then, tho market Is In a good healthy
condition with every prospect of present
prices being malntnlnod Indefinitely.
Dry (ioods Market Firm.
Thoro boa been a good actlvo market on
all seasonable lines of dry goods tho last
wk. Thoro has, of course, not boon as
ninny sorllng-up orders ns would havo been
tho cojio had tho weather boon more scvero,
but at tho samo tlmo Jobbers havo had
enough business to keep them busy. '1 he
demand for high-priced dress goods and
parltcularly for silks has boen quite a
feature of tho trado. Merchants evidently
aro counting on selling a good many hlgh-
iirlced dress goods between now and tho
lolldays. Trade at this season of tho year
a gonerally good on those lines, but this
year has been ubovo the averuge.
Tho market Is still being well maintained
on pructlcally all lines. Tho cotton situa
tion Is no nearer a settlement, apparently,
than It was several weeks ago, but tho
tendonoy of prices on fabrics Is unques
tionably upwurd. Tho print goods market
Is firmer nt the advanco of He, which took
effect November 22, and Indications are
that It will go no lower for somo tlm to
come. Fancy prints In particular aro firm
and predictions aro bring made that still
higher prlccu will rule In tho near future.
Tho woolen goods market and the silk
market remain unchanged.
Leather fiood n Little Quiet.
As has been tho case for some time post
tho leather goods market Is a little quiet.
Thero havo been snows nnd cold weather In
somo parts of tho territory tributary to
this market nnd from those localities & fair
amount of business has been recolved. As
a general thing, however, sUIng-up orders
aro disappointing this year, both in siro
nnd number owing to tho fnct that mer
chants havo not sold out as much of their
stock as usual. Jobbers think, however,
that before the winter Is over their sales
will compnr favorably with Inat year or
any other year. Hprlng business Is In a
vory satisfactory condition and traveling
mon nro lauding a good many advance or
ders, From this. It would seem thut re
tailors havo no fear for tho future regard
less of what present conditions may be.
Tho firm condition of the leather market
mnkct) It practically contain that prices
will go no lower and as a result thoy aro
aro in placing tneir orders now,
Ilubber goods Jobbers aro having' somo
trado as a result of storms In different
localities and a good deal of their business
has como in oy teiopunne nnu toiograpn,
showing that stocks In tho country aro not
very heavy Thut being tho case tho rush
of business which would fo'low a general
storm of considerable; severity would bo
something enormous.
Fruits and Produce.
Fruit and produce commission men havo
done a big business tho past week. In
fruits the demand has been principally In
cranberries, apples and oranges. As an
ticipated apples hnvo again been ad
vanced. .Kastcru stock Is now being hold
at 13.00r3.25, California orangeii are arriv
ing In large quantities and as tin- quality
Is satisfactory they aro mooting with heavy
salon. In vegetable! thero Is not m.ich to
bo snld, us no change of Importanca has
taken nluce.
Tho principal feoturo of tho trade has, of
course, neon tno ueiuuml Tor poultry. Ono
of tho oldest commission mon In tno city
remarked that ho hud never seen a year
when receipts of poultry wero so large and
prices so low as they wero this year. Tho
supply seemed to bo turgor than tho do-,
maud all over the country and ne u result
prices havo boen abnormally low. A good
shnro of tho tlmo thero wns llttlo or no dif
ference between Chicago and Omuliu prices,
which Is a good Indication that this mar
ket was well In line,
Uggs havo nlso gone off. as tho quotations
will show, nnd tho samo Is truo of butter.

May corn closed unchanged and Mny oats

Wheat formed n dull market of tho va
riety known ns "changing," which Is to say
that traders wero getting out of their De
cember denls Into later ones. January
opened n nhndo higher nt 70Ho nnd sold
early to 70Hc. There was no particular
demand, but offerings wero light becnuso
of fairly stently cables nnd light deliveries
on December contracts. Between 400,000
nnd 600,000 bu. wero tint out early. The
belief that tho December liquidation had
nbout exhausted Itself nlso tended to hold
prices, Later, however, tho liberal receipts,
the. speculative dullness nnd a bit of fog
end liquidation sent January down to 701ic
At this point tho mnrket steadied on tho

Corn was fairly nctlvo nnd higher early,

Narrow Market vrltli Tone Indefinite
ThrmiKli Whole .lesslon.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1. There was a com
paratively narrow market for stocks today
nnd tho tono was not well defined at any
time. Largo and confidential buying of a
few railroad stocks was In evidence, but
this was partly offset by tho sharp weak
ness of a number of Industrials and rpo
clalttcs and the whole market turned down
ward with tho appearance of the bank
slntemcnt und with tho additional Influenoo
of a 3-polnt bronk In sugar. Tho notublo
demand for railroad stocks looked to shares
of companies operating In Ilia southern r6
glon. Chesapenko & Ohio and Southern
Hallway stoclts were taken In largo blocks
and Mobile & Ohio was moved upward 3V4
points of a dormant stato. Sugar wis
heavy throughout on doubts regarding tno
npprnnchlng dividend, which rumor has
proclaimed would be Increased. Reports
current of a projected now refinery near
New York hud a marked effect on the
stock and helped to brrnk the prlco in tho
final tleullngs. People's Ons. Glucose. Smolt.
Ing nnd Anaconda also weakened enrlv In
tho trading, American Tobacco showed 11
strong recovery from recent depression nnd
tho coalers had a rlso on tho cold weather.
Tho bank statement was a surprlso. Tho
heavy loan expansion Is supposed to be duo
to foreign Intercut requirements for Decip
her 1, but the usual preparations for Jan
uary 1 are expected to become eftcctlvo
soon nnd the revival of the Interior demand
for currency toward th last of tho week
suggested caution In the borrowing of
money for speculation. Tho gain In cash ut
l,S42,30O was unexpected und served as a
welcomo offset to the Increase In reserve
requirements of J3.I51..W5, growing out of tin
largo addition of JU,77S,OijO to deposits. Tho
Inroad of Jl,142.ono upan tho surplus wou'd
otherwise have been much larger. The con
tinued lurgo demand for bonds ut advanc
ing prices wns n noticeable feature of tho
trading. Tho trading In Morks has boon
011 a diminishing scnlo this week No

' nn ,1 hn iianlrrni. Qa tlin nnllffn it (l.ln
sened speculation, It 1 rather the natural
polso bound to como aftr nn outburst of
great and unwonted activity In human af
fairs, Tho same thing is seen In tho busi
ness of the country where buying wns ex
cessive immediately nftor election, repre
senting tho loosening of flood punt tin
pending the Oeclslon of that event; whllo
now tho animated demand f..r products
thowi) some natural reaction. This Is esne
clally noticeable) In tho Iron trade. The
stock market was csrcelnlly tcnsltlvo to thu
conrso of events In trndo.
Tho relatively high money rntes abroad
hnvo tho natural effect of tleprerlng the
prices of foreign Investment pecurltlps nnd
tho consequence Is a constant stream of
American securities returning to tho prollt
utile homo mnrket This represonts In nn
Indirect way reluvoslment of American cap
ital In homo cnttrprhes. Hut the profits of
tho country's foreign trado nre n small por
tion, oven now. of tho Increase of capital
growing nut of prosperous business nt
homo. With tho ussurunco of abundant
capital nnd cheap Interest rates, It la evi
dent that bonds nnd mortgages bearing
lit It rates of fixed Interest, as thy mature,
will either bo paid off or converted Into
few bonds bearing lower rates of lnterst
Tho bonellts thus promised to fhuroholders
nro icrvlng to at tract capital Into tho
shares of companies where senior bonds
have enrlv muturltUs. It Is such substan
tial considerations ns tlicso that htvo
caused the llrm undertone of the stock
mnrket, so that buying orders, nro found
below the mnrket on anv t'onslderHbio re

under suspicion of firmness by reason of ex

Tho roservo requirements of tho New
York clearing house banks wero Increased
over J3,250,ooo Inst week through a heavy
addition of J13.019.OJ0 to tho deposit total and
this explains why, despite 11 gain In cash
holdings of Jl.8l2.300, tho surplus reserve
fell oft Jl.412,000. The expansion In doposlts
wns caused nltnost wholly by tho Incrcnso
of $11,778,000 In lnnns, tho latter raotor nrov
Ing tho most significant featuro of tho
week. It has not escaped attention that tho
loans of tho banks since election tlmo have
not responded to tho heavy volume of busi
ness noted In every direction. This has
caused a great deal of discussion and much
theorizing, but ns a muttor of fuct tho
banks nm now beginning to show In n be
lated manner tho drains mudo upon them.
The guln In loans lust week was the heuvl
et noted In months, tho closing week In
July having exceeded It slightly. Tho cur
rency statement Is better than anticipated,
ns It hns been figured that the banks hud
lost 1111 amount In ensh larger than the no
Mini totals revealed. Tho clearing house In
stitutions In their operation with tho sub
ttcuBilry hero were debtors to a largo extent
and tho Interior mndo unexpectedly heavy
drafts for funds, Nevertheless tho excess
reserve stands nt nearly Jll.000.000 nnd as
tho season Is at hand when tho natural
trend of money Is In this direction fears for
tho futuro hnvo been nlluyed, An unalysh
of tho individual bunk reports for tho week,
however, show thut the changes havo been
confined to a few lnrgo bunks and theso In
stitutions hold tho greater pnrt or the ensh
Increases noted, Tho circulation Item Is
bflng watched rather closely In financial
circles, in oro as a mutter of curiosity to ob
serve tho workings of the new law than
with tho Idea that tho changes will affect
tho situation. The banks seem to have at
tained maximum circulation ricures at pres
ent nnd slight decreases aro the rule from
week to week. Tho present volume of cir
culation reported by tho New York banks
Is J30,G;o,0W. It will require a rather power
ful Incentive to stnrt un upward move
ment. The circulation Is less than half thut
Permitted by law. Thero Is reserve pov.cr
In this fact, but officials do not apprehend
tiny condition that will lead to 11 general ef
fort to Increase present figures.

CATTLE Thero was nothing: on salo to
day but a few odds and ends and con
sequently nothing with which to make a
test of tho markot. The few cattlo that
d d arrlvo today woro mostly consigned
direct to packers.
The receipts the past week have been tho
llehtest on record for some tlmo pnM. but
thut Is, of conrso, accounted for by tho
fuct that peoplo usually avoid shipping
around a holiday. In view of tho light
recolpts the tondoncy of prices han been
upward on all classes of rood cattle. Corn
fod steers ate probably 104fl6c htahor than
they wero at the closo of lust week. Cholco
handy weight cattlo aro the host sellers
and command the jrreatcst premium. The
hlKh prlco of tho week was 15.50, which
was paid on Frldny for a choice bunch of
cattlo of medium weight, Tho half-fat and
common stuff Is soiling very little, If any,
hotter than It was 11 wook ago, as packers
never can tell how thut class of cattle nro
Kolng to kill out and consequently they do
not want them unless they can get them at
a very low figure.
The light supply of cows and heifers has
had a tendency to advanco prices, tho
same ,h was the case with tho stoor
market. It Is safe to say that all classes,
both good and bail, are selling lOgluc higher
than they wero a week ago. Packers
seemed to want a few cows and owing
to tho light receipts they had to pay for
what they got.
Tho feedor trado haa not been particu
larly brisk this week, but owing to tho
very light supply on sulo tho good kinds
sold n llttlo stronger. Choice feeders of
good weight command very satisfactory
prices, but tho light, trashy sttuft Is hard
to move, as country buyers do not seem to
want that class of cattle. Stock cows and
heifers hnvo not beon In good demand and
prices havo not picked up ns much as on
feeder stocrs. Stock calves are about as
slow sale ns they have been of late attd
quotations aro not much different.
. r.,fl. Proportion of western grass cattlo
Included In the receipts Is crowing smaller
each week and very few choice cattle aro
arriving. Reef steers may bo quoted
stronger for tho week nnd cows also, tho
marei. ,12el1B Probably 10fl16c higher.
Feeders, f of good quality, aro also selling
a llttlo higher than they were a week ago"

HOqS-There was a good liberal run of
h.e.-.L.tid,,y' for a Saturday, and as
ctber markets were nono too firm prlcu
hero went a little lowor. Opening bids
wor?J&"n , CWH 6, but largely nt 11.6214,
or 6W714c lower than yesterday. Sellers
w-ere not exactly satisfied with tho prices
offered and hung on for a tlmo. hoplni
n?.V'Uflr8 nW0U,di ,mv.e 10 rBl8 "'" hands'
but finally wllers began to cut loose, and
everything was sold hi good season. There
was very little chunge In the mnrket from
start to finish, though thero may hnvo
been a weak spot at ono time, whon quite
a few hogs sold at 14.60. The cloio. how
over, was good and strong.
There has been n good supply of hoga
hero all tho week, tnklng everything Info
conidderatlon, though hardly as many as
arrived on tho markot the preceding wook.
The demand has been In good shnpo, but ut
tho same tlmo tho tondanry of prices wns
downward. The week started In with tho
averago cost nt I4.87U and kept golnif down
until Baturdny. whon the market uveraged
about JI.G2V4. or practically 25o lower. As
will be seen from the tnblo of avorago
prices, Saturday was tho low point of tho
month with tho exception of tho llrst three
