NEW YOIIK, Den. 1. (Special.) In Ills
weekly review of Wall street Henry CI
Htnck trinrlo'i xnccnlsitlon has been er
ratic and uncertnln. Some speclultles scored
furthor advances, whllo others reacted from
high figures, and tha entlro market was
moro or less adversely Influenced by un-
favorable developments connected wltn
Amalgamated Conner. On tho other hand,
inn rcmarKniile strength ot tno aunernin
Chares and the belief that Important steps
wero In progress looking toward tho con
iiolldatlon of these proportles served as nn
Important stimulant. Kasy money, cessation
of gold exports and continued good railroad
:irnlnirH mIhii served to aid the manipula
tion for higher prices. Whether thn present
effort to create n bull market will succeed
or nut wo do Intend to predict, there being
much to be said on both sides. With nn
nhuudnnt supply of loanable funds nnd con
tinued prosperity It may be possible to
curry the market to a nlglicr level con
Nlilcrlnir that .stocks nn so hlchlv concen

made to anticipate tho January disburse
ments, which will be vcrv heavy nnd likely
to aid such n movement. Hut, whllo It
would be folly to underrato the ability or
the determination of the big leaders to lift
the market, and the fact that many condl-
lions are In their favor. It Is also very
necessary to remember that circumstances I
are much mom contrauictory than a yenr
ago. Prices are already exceedingly nign,
In many case the highest on record. A

while common nnd half fat cattle nro going
down and are very slow "ale. The top
price of tho season no far Is $T.25. so that
good to r.lulce cattle may be quoted from
16.00 to S7.25. The situation for the week
can, perhaps, best be described by calling

A holiday always diminishes the total
olume of business transacted during the
week by Jobbers, ns It tends to keep buy
ers at home. Last week was no exception
to tne geimral rule, although wholesalers
in practically nil lines report trade as being
lully up to their expectations. Quite a few
bujers arrived on tho market the first
thrco days of the week and placed liberal
orders, it Is very noticeable now that the
heavier buyers nro beginning to come bnek,
which shows that stocks In the cnuntrv ate
going to pieces In spite of thn fact that
there has been very little cold weather to
bring heavyweight goods Into active de
matirt Nearly all of the retailers who are
coming to the city say that while their
liustner.s has not been particularly active,
nevertheless they have had a verv fair
trade and III fact have sold k great deal
more of their stock than they could rea
sonably cxpoct to under existing condi
tions. They nre preparing for an enormous
demand ns soon ns thn llrst wave of winter
weather sets In, which accounts for the
liberal unlets that are being placed. Tak
ing everything Into consideration both re
tellers and wholesalers feel that they have
little or nothing to complain of That Is
particularly true of the wholesalers, who
say that so far this fall they have sold
fully ns much stock and In a number of
cases a great deal more than they did Inst
your. Collections also continue In good
shape, which shows that either retnllets
have an abundance of capital or else thev
aro selling more stock than they are will
ing to admit,
There has heen no change In tho slum
tlon so rnr as advance orders for spring
are concerned, Traveling men are still
breaking their records of last year and It
Is very evident that berorc the first of the
year local Jobbers will havo by far the
best line of advance orders that they have
ever taken.
Tho markets were rather uneventful last
week as a whole, though there were a few
changes of some Importance. As a general
thing, however, prices are In Just about tho
same notches they were a week ago. Thn
most Important change of tho week Is the
sharp advance in sugar.
Simnr Prices Renlnreil.
Present Indications nre that the sugar
war Is at un end, at least for the Imme
diate ptesent. On Wednesday of last week
tho price of cane sugar was advanced to
$5 per 10) pounds, so that both enne nml
beet sugars are now selling on a p.irlt.
the same ns they were before the rate war
was Instituted. It will be remembered that
at one lime the American Sugar Refining
compnny wns selling sugar In tnls territory
ns low as $4.25, The price was then ad
vanced to $1,65, then to $4.81 mid now It Is
$5. For the last few days the raw mnrket
has been very strong and those who are In
a position to know say that they would not
be surprised to see prices go still higher In
the near futuro. The market on refined
sugar Is nnw governed by the raw market,
the same as It always Is under normal con
ditions. The cpffee market Is nlno In a good,
strong position, but there has been no
quotable change during the week.
In dried fruits there Is nothing new to re-'
port, as the ilemand continues very .-igUi
owing to the mild weather. Jobbers, how
ever, nre (very certain that higher prices
will rule when the temperature takes a
drop,
The most Important feature of the canned
goods market is the continued strength of
tomatoes, inc supply is geuing wen
cleaned up in llrst hands and there Is no
doubt but what local Jobbers will have to
ask higher prices at no very distant date.
Early In the season they were very heavy

I Tlin, fur Ihov hnve clvpn Ihplr Plialnnipra
I the hpnertt of the advance and nre now
selling their gonds at a Inwer figure than
they can replace them, rne situation In
corn Is about the same as In tomatoes.
The cheese market continues very strong
owing to an active demand end to the fact
that October stock In first hands Is well
cleaned up.
In farlnaclom goods oatmeal may be
quoted a trifle higher, while rice and beans
have eased oft a trifle.
Regarding the condition of trade IoliI
jibbers sav that the demand during the Ust
month has been surprisingly large nnd
much better than they expected. Retailers
hum heen verv heavy buyers all the fall
and ns their purchases continue larger
The most Important change In the hard
ware market was the decline In steel
goods, ranging from 15 to 20 per cent. Some
lines declined even more than that, while
others did not go down quite ns much, but
the nverage Is between 15 nnd 20 per cent.
The change takes effect at once, hut. of
course. It does not effect Immediate busi
ness to any extent, as there Is not much of
that class of goods going out at the pres.
ent time. Local Jobbers aro of the opinion
that the prices now In force will hold good
inpiiiir the rnmlng season. Ill other lines
tho market Is practically the same as It
was a week ago and the general market
may bo said to be In n good, healthy con-
'"Tho" demand fnr strictly cold weather
goods continues rather light, but to offset
thnt there is an unusually heavy demand
for such lines as bnrbwlre and builders'
material. The mild weather makes it pos.
slble to carry on, all kinds of out-of-door
work, so thnt Jobbers are doing a good
business, even though seasonable lines are
a little neglected.
rry fionils Mnrket More Aellvr.
.More dry goods buyers arrived In this
market last week than for some little time
past. The clearing sales which were 'id
vcrtlsed apparently attracted considerable
uttentlnn and brought In a good many ot
the heaviest patrons of this market. They
placed qulto liberal ordors and had n good
word to sav regarding the condition of
i tun pniinipv. H'lille rhftv have not.
broken many records this fall In fhe amount
of winter lines tncy nave nnm. sun mev
have enjoyed a good steady trade and look
for a big run to follow tho first wave of
severe weather,
Traveling ,nen for local houses ore meet
ing with good success and are taking a
great many advance orders for January
shipment, These orders cover practically
the entlro line of spring goods. Some linen
of wash goods and particularly ginghams
and woven wash fabrics are reported as
being well sold up, In view of the excep
tionally large advance sales.
Thero have been very few market changes
during the week. The advance, however,
predicted a week ago In American print
created a big demand and local houses re
port heavy sales. Jobbers nr still pre
dicting nn advance, at practically the en
tire line Is about Uc under the market.
Other lines of cotton goods aro
firm, but nn change hns taken place dur
ing the week and no Important fluettisUnns
nre predicted,
Fruit nml Produce.
It has been u long time since the Thanks
giving trade moved along as smoothly In
the produce district as it did this year.
There was not a. particularly heavy de
mand, but at the same time It was large
enough to take what was offered without
any matcr'al change In prices, A number
of fancy lines were uttered nnd they alto
sold at very satisfactory prices. As com
parcl with a week ago, there have been
veof few fluctuations that nre worthy of
menllon. As pxidlcted, the poultry mnrket
held steady up to Thanksgiving and thn
aupply was so well cleaned up that thorn
was no break the Ian of the week. Com
mission men look for a good steady mar
ket for another week at least, unless re
celpts should t' much heavier than they
anticipate. Butter and eggs are also atenrfy
with the quotations of a week ago.
The only rhiiiiKn In fruits Is nn advance
In npples amounting to about 50c per barrel.
The demand Is heavy all over the country
and present Indications point to high prion
ruling throughout the season on anything
at all desirable,
