Considering the tlmo of year, local Job
bers nay that the volumo of business now
being transacted Is entirely sntlsfttctory.
January Is seldom a very good month for
Immedlatu business und thlH year, owing
to this wnrm weather, there Is ulrnost
nothing lit all doing In winter lines. At
tention Is now directed to spring business
and no eomplnlnls of nny character arc
hoard regarding that part of the trade.
ItotaCers aro buying quite frtely for spring
und upparoutly arc" very conlldcnt that
they aro going to havo an exceptionally
heavy trade. Those who havo been In
tho city the last week spoke very en
couruglngly regarding future prospects,
and, although they have not sold out tholr
winter lines as well as they usually do,
they aro not ut all discounted. Tho ma
Jorlty of rotallers aro anxious to get In
their spring lines, as an early spring Is
anticipated, which means that trade will
open up In good season. Jobbers are
doing their best to comply with the wishes
of their customers und are working their
men' nights as well as days to get their
lines In shape for shipping. A good many
orders wero lllled this lust week, tut still
tnoro goods will be shipped out this coming
week und work will bo pushed until all
tho advance orders have been shipped.
Tho markets have llurtualed hut lltttn
Incu last report, Practically all lines seem
to bo In a good, healthy condition and
there Is no fear but what ptescnt prices
will hold goml for some time to rami'.
Eastern manufacturer are confident that
they are going to have all tho business
they can handle and as a result tln-y are
not at all anxious to sell their goods and
uro olferlng no concessions of any char
acter Ilnyers can either take tho goods
at tho prices offereil or leave them alone.
When such conditions as that exist there
U not much prospect of a decline In values.
I'cw I'liiot melon In tiroeerlei.
Tho grncory trade continues to bo very
satisfactory and Jobbers report tho volumo
of business fully as good as It was u
year ago, although tho weather Is some
what unfavorable. The market has fluctu
ated but very little during the week. Coffeo
remains unchanged at last week's quota
tlons and but comparatively little biiHlness
Is being transacted In eastern markets.
Locally trade Is not particularly heavy,
though a fulr amount of business Is re
ported, Tho feeling on the sugar market seems
to bo a little firmer, but there has been no
change In tho rellned grades as yet. Re
ntiers claim business Is picking uti und as
u result tho market Is In a good, strong
position. There Is nothing new to be said
about canned goods, all lines remaining
practically tho samo us they havo been for
noino little tlmo post. Dried fruits aro ulo
tho same, with the exception of tho low
rrades of California peuches. which are a
rltlo easier. The fancy stock, however, Is
being held ut good, strong prices, as It Is
claimed that Mocks on the coast aro rather
limited.
Tho ropo market has oneo more started
Upward and sisal Is quoted ,so per pound
higher than It was a week ago. Manila,
however, remains tho same.
Iliirdvviire Steady ami Active,
So far us tho market Is concerned thero
Is very little to bo said regarding the situ
ation In hnrdware. All Unci aro being
held at good llrm prices, but no chang :i
of enough Importance to bo worthy of men
tion havo tuken place since last report.
Trade also coutlnuet In good shape, and
In fact Is exceptionally heavy for this sea
Bon of tho year. When the kind of wcuthrr
which has been experienced so far thU
winter Is taken into consideration It Is
quite surprising for Jobbers to bo rusliad
with orders for nil classes of winter good
Tho reason, perhaps, Is that slocks In the
country are not very heavy, which iiinkes
It ncccssury for retailors to buy frequently.
They nre placing unite liberal orders now,
tt they havo confidence In future value.
The glass situation Is still attracting
a good deal of attention. The advance,
amounting to 20 per cent, which win an
nounced a week ago, caused quite u llurrv,
anil now another ndvnnce amounting to In
per cent Is being talked of. It Is claimed
that manufacturers advanced their prises
I') per cent, whereas Jobbers only raised
Ihelr quotations 20 per cent. Jobbers claim
they cannot afford to stand the dlfToreuc"
nf in per cent, and as a result th"y aro
talking of another advance Turpentine
also went up 1 cent this week, but llnwd
oil remains the samo as It was a wek
ago. Tho samo Is truo of mixed paints and
whlto lead.
Shlpiilnu Sprlim i.lnei.
Dry goods Jobbers nre now giving nil
their time and attention to shipping spring
goals. Dealers are noxious to got In their
tprnig noes, aim as a result go i is uro
moving out at a rapid rate. Jobber i have
tho heaviest lino of advance orders on
hand that they ever had at this season
nf tho year, and as a result the task of
piling them Is greater than usual. Travel
ing men are meeting with good success on
tho road and predict a good trade thruiuh
out tho tprlng mid summer. Hctnllcr.i out
through tho country are feeling good. and
aro confident that people will spend their
money freely for spring lines.
Thero have been no Important changes
during the week In the market situation.
All lines of cotton goods remain the um-.
as they havo been nf lute, and apparently
uro unaffected by the tluctiiutlnns In tho
Rrico of raw cotton. Jobbers aro us con
duit us over that present prices nre on a
pood, suro foundation, and tint they will
hold good for nn Indefinite period. This
lipnlics not only to cot'on good?, but ti
lllks und woolens us well.
Spring Tinilc Niitlxfiictnry.
Tho continued warm, pleasant weather
makes It almost Impossible for boit and
alum Jobbers to sell winter lines, but they
are landing n good many orders for prlng
Roods. Traveling men ate groa'lv en
couraged over the nrospect for spring busi
ness and think that before tho season
romcs to a close some records' will be
broken,
Rubber goods are, of course, very slow
talis except In some of th" mountain atat"i
nf I ho west, wliero thev havo had inn'c
now ami cold weather thin has been e
perlenccd In this cominunltv. Unles the
temperature goes Considerably lower dur
ing Februurv than It has so far this white
retailors will bo obliged to carry i wr a
gooil deal of their winter stock. Jobbers,
though, nre honing for enough cold vvuithnr
to enable retailers to sell out, so thai thev
will start out next fall with a new 'nipp'y.
Traveling men nre now on the rend villi
samples of spilng lines of macklntowli.fi and
other kinds of rubber clothluir. Thev ire
taking a few orders, but It Is still too e.trlv
to tell much about what the outcome of tlw
Spring trade will be.
There has been n strong rumor ailo.i
for tho Just M'veral days to the effect that
thero In to bo another drop In the iMio
nf rubber boots and shoes, to take , fleet
February 1 The report cannot be veilfl"d,
but Jobbers uro rather looking for a ohaugo
to take effect In tho near future.
Fruits mid Produce.
Thero has been n fair amount of business
tho past week In the produce districts rf
this city. Dealers nre buying In snvdl
nunntltles, which necessitates their making
frequent purchases, so thru the lo'al vol
umo of business Is unite natlsfaclorv.
Thero have been very few changes ths
past week In quotations ami none Unit ar
wotthy of mention. Poultry, butter an I
rggii uro nil In rather light receipt nnd
prices consequently are tlrm at the quit i
tlnns given In another column As will h
tinted prices are very much the same nil
along the line ns they were a week ago.

NEW YOHK. Jan. 2C The stock market
manifested only 11 languid disposition to re.
spnnd to the very aetlvo nnd bold manipula
tion to which It wns subjected today, until
tho uppeurunco of tho bunk statement. Im
mediately upon the appearance of the state
ment upon the tape the market became ani
mated and the dealings broadened out con
siderably, nevrtrtholoss, the market re
mained spotty to the closo and, nlthnugh
thero were a large number of stocks which
show advances of from 1 to 2 points, many
parts of the list failed to respond to the ad
vance at ull. St. Paul was t ha feuturo all
day. The stock was exceedinciv feverish
nnd unsteady at times, but It was advanced
with determination nnd made tho last price
nt the top 0 points above last night. Tho
dealings were on n very inrge iicalo.
Tho preferred stock gained 2. The Kun
sas & Texas stocks continued to hold a
conspicuous place in the market nnd the
preferred 2& In the early dealings, but suf
fered later from prollt-tnklng. Hock Islnnd
roso 2 nnd the grungers and Northern Pn.
cllle were all strong.
Tho hank statement disclosed a fairly
plethoric condition of tho monev mnrlim
nnd the very liberal expansion of loans by
tne nanus or over umkio,uoo nas not sultlced
to keep pace with tho input congestion of
reserves. A notnble feature of the cash in.
crease Is tho overwhelming preponderance
of sperlo In the receipts. The week's In
crense of J7.057.4CO bring the speclo holdings
of the New York banks up to J191, 710,2m)
which compares with tho maximum record
of $2nfi S7fi.fi' on May 27. U99 The iiubtreas-
ury payments ure now tieing mudo almost
wholly In gold, Including the In rire current
redemptions of national bunk notes nnd the

speculative contingent in tho stock market
evidently looks to this redundancy of loan.

In tho quoted rates for sterling exchange
In the nominal Saturday market, with tin
ndvance In the cull money rule In London
und with sterling hardening nt Paris, t Is
not unlikely thnt tho coming week will see
the remittances abroad In pnyment of re
turning securities continue on a Inrz annin
and keep up the exchange rate.
t ho action or ino siock market this week
has been strictly In nccord with what might
bo exDected from the ndlustmcnt nf nr.

not tiguro in me money reserves required
by lnw of national banks the tendency will
bo to-jedcem nnd retire them unless they
can be kept In circulation The legal limi
tation upon the retirement to J3.G0O.O0O per
month still remains In force. Tho current
redemption nf bank notes nt the subtrens

NEW YOHK, Jan. 2C Tho cotton markot
opened steady, with prices 6 points higher
on January and 2roY. points lower on the
rest of tho list. All the short session Janu
nry position held n relatively firmer station
than tho rest of the list, due to a merciless
round-up of luckless belnted shorts who
hnd depended on tho Increasing New York
stock to force liquidation und thereby help
incm out or ineir precarious position. Last
night the current month closed ut lO.Ofle. It
opened this morning ut 10.11c and Immedi
ately shot up to 10.25c 011 a desperate rush

lish cables and heavy receipts at the ports,
tho later months slowly worked up ward
nfter the call In sympathy with the
strength In January. The market closed
