The volume of business to dHto Is still

The silver situation Is still critical, al

WALL STREET UNCHANGED
xtrnnn nasi- C.len In llsn Tend
ency hy IJontlnnetl Prosperity
nit t.nrge Earnings.
NK,1V YORK, pec. S. (Special.) Henry
Clews of tho banking house of Henry Clows
& Co. In his weekly letter says:
The -Wall street situation Is practically
unchanged. On the one side we sec Mocks
powerfully concentrated In few hands anil
At attempt made to raise values to a still
higher level by means of various deals, bj
encouraging easy money and by other
artifices best known to skilful manlpila
tors, Continued prosperity and large rail
road earnings liavo afforded a strong basis
for sunn a movement, and at the moment
thero are no signs of pronounced weak
ness, except the unsatisfactory develop
ments In Amalgamated Copper, which have
undoubtedly Imprded the efforts for a re
newed bull campaign, The large Interests
are unquestionably committed to the long
side of 'the market; they have stocks to
sell which the public are slow to buy unless
they see more certainty of profit than lias
beeu offered. Klmplc prosperity, some think,
has been amply discounted, and reliance Is
now often placed upon thn effects of deals
which promise to Increase the dividend ca
pacities nf certain securities. As a result
the market Is strong only In spots, and
weak spells are not Infrequent. Had tho
market been allowed to settle down last
summer to a lower level In nat.iral ro
tiponse to the unfavorable Incidents which
then occurred, we should have had a re
covery and activity during the last two
months which has been notably absent.
Tho public, has wisely kept aloof from ex
lenslvo commitments on the long side, con
fining Its activities to quick trailing; and
this Is likely to bo the safe courso for some
time to come, or until natural Inlluenccs
once more assert their sway.
The situation In some respects Is very re
markable. Never before wero stocks io
highly concentrated, and the steadying
Vower resulting from this processes highly
significant. Apparently tho powers In con
ittol arc able to hold tho market Impreg
nable against all ordinary assaults, and
while this situation lasts Judgment must
be directed accordingly. At the same time
slocks ate being slowly scattered, and tho
latge sums nf money seeking Investment
may enable the market leaders to success
fully lighten the'r burden If prosperity con
tinues sufficiently long, as some are bold
enough to believe it will, Hut the business
situation Is spotty. fSrcat activity Is ap
parent in the Iron trade, whero tho physical
revolution In railroad standards Is caus
ing an abnormal demand for Iron. Thero Is
also great prosperity In the coal trade, and
an active demand at profitable prices for
many artlclcH of food and clothing. Trices
for these are the highest In ten years, and
people are spending vastly more on
luxuries and commodities appealing to
aesthetic tastes than usual, Economy Is
the exception and extravagance the rule,
and how long this will continue no one
knows. Thero are signs of reaction which
only the blind will not see, anil they de
mand caution. Wo will soon begin to
visibly see the effect of thif corn crop fall
nre and the consequent loss of freight to
lines traversing the corn bell As a result
prkes of cattle feed have risen abnormally.
Another blow Is tho shrinkage In the cotton
crop, which miJHt adversely a fleet Im
portant sections of the south, High prices
and scarcity are not conducive to con
tinuous prosperity In spite of n delusion to
the contrary which some people entertain.
Still another unfavorable, feature has been
the declines In our exports, which, though
perhaps not permanent, Indicate a cessa
tion of the oxcesslve, trade balances which
have been a fruitful source of self-congratulation.
Our exports of copper de
clined about KJ.ooo.u'hi during the first ten
months of 1001 and our exports of Iron
manufactures showed a loss of KM.oOO.COO In
the same period. Bilcli factors as these
cannot be Ignored. They arc signs of our
oeing at or near me top. mid cnmjnon
prudence dictates caution In transactions
entering Into the future.
Those who anticipated a "strenuous"
message from President Roosevelt were
disappoinieq, i ne president s llrst message
was a calm and conservative document,
entirely free of radical or demagogical
features. While his treatment of disputed
questions could not be expected to please
everybody, all agreed that his rrr.nmmeti.
datlons were strictly within .the limits of
safety. The financial community was
chiefly Interested In his utterances regard
ing trusts. Theso he treated In n frank.
Judicial and tcmpernte spirit, nnd his Ideas
upon publicity, neediest) to say. met with'
unlvrmal approval, If such legislation as
ho siggests were now force Wall street
would be free today from one of It wnr.t
uncertainties, and Amalgamated Copper

question to his able secretary, Mr. Gage,
who treats this Important problem with
unusual force and clearness in his annual
report. There Is no domestic question of
greater Importance for congress to wrestlo
with than this one. The country needs u.
clentlflc and automatic currency system In
keeping with modern progress. The change
can best bo made under prosperous condi
tions. When reaction sots In and credit
contracts, prejudice and Ignorance will be
more difficult to overcome than now. Mr.
Gage's remarks on the currency should he
thoughtfully read by ever woll-wlsher of
his country.
The president's message Is n pronounce
ment upon the great affairs of the day
which will meet with Instant nnd hearty
approval both at home and abroad, Its
eminent conservatism must dispel any ap

The president's attitude toward the vast

notice, that the stock of American cotton at
Liverpool and the quantity afloat of all

A fair quantity of light prlntlnu and
bleaching cloths was placed with producers
who needed work. The markets of the
leant nnd South America were Inactive.
There as a willingness to biy nl the
price, nut traders were reluctant to follow
the advance, ,
It Is staled, however, that the Krazlllau
trade Is more hopeful. The position of
yarns was stronger. Snlnncrs refused to
do business except on tlie full advance of
cotton and buyers rarely obtained a reduc-

Tlie expected improvement In the iron

SKV VUHK, Dec. T.-Specillators of
stocks rushed to sell today and precipitated
n vlohiit decline, which carried prices be
low last Saturday's level, leaving no ves
tige of the week's gains. Amalgamated
Copper led the van, with Manhattan a close
second. The copper stock touched 6I, n
loss from last ulglit oft 53s. The scramble
amongst the shorts to cover reduced the
net hiss to 3'ic. In Manhattan the extreme
decline, wns i and the net Iosh only U.
Tho stock touched 1M several times In lis
erratic fluctuations. On tho first break In
the market many railroad slocks and the

tho second break, atler the appearance ot
the bank statement, the weakness became
very general at declines of lu;i points. New
York Central, tlreat Northern preferred,
St. Paul, Chicago ,fc Northwestern, Hock
Island, tlie Huftalo, Hoehester & Pittsburg
stocks and (Tuifrnl Klcctrlc were es
pecially weak. The bank statement was
even weaker than expected. The loss In

CATTLE Thero were Just a few small
bunches of eattlo on sale this morning, so
that practically no test of the market was
made. For the week receipts have been
fairly literal, a slight Increase being noted
over the corresponding week of last year.
As compared with last week, however,
there Is, a slight decrease. The demnnd
from nil sources has been active, so that
prices have advanced 011 desirable kinds.
The supply of corn-fed steers wus very
light all the week nnd the general market
may be quoted IS'g'JSe higher thaif It was
a week ago. It Is noticeable, however, that
the greatest advance has been on tho short
fed cattle, owing to the fact that the run
of westerns Is now over with. Tho fin
ished c.ittlo have not changed much, prices
being about the same as they wero a week
ago. Good to choice heavyweight cattle
may be quoted from $0.15 to $7.00. Kalr
to good steers arc worth from $5.50 to $0.15
nnd short-fed cnttlo are selling from $5.0
down.
The cow market has also been very ac
tive and prices have advanced all the way
ftom 15c to 30c, The, market, however, has
been more or less uneven, ,owlng to the
rnpldljy with which prices have advanced.
The greatest Improvement hns been on tho
heavyweight fed cows of good quality,
which may be quoted from $4,25 to i$4.75.
The medium nnd light cattle have not ad
vanced ns much, tint at the same tlmo
prices uro better than they were a week
ago. There has been nn nctlve demand for
eannors nnd prices nro considerably .higher
than they were n week ago, At some other
points, however, the market eased off to
wnrd the close of tho week, so that prices
for tho coming week depend very largely
upon receipts.
Hulls, venl calves and stngs have also
sold frely and prices are stronger than
they were a week ago.
There have beeu very few stockcrs and
feeders nt the yards this week and ns tho
demand for the choicer grades was liberal
prices nro fully as high ns they were a
week ago. The. demand continues best
for the heavyweight cattle showing quality
and also for prime yearlings, Tho common
grades of all weights have moved very
slnwlv. the demand from the country for
that clans of cattle being extremely light.
Good to choice feeders nro quotable from
$1.75 to $1.25; fair to good, $3.00 to $3.75 and
common from $3.00 dpwu.
A'cry few western rattle are now coming
oil the matket and most of those that do
arrive are of common quality. Packers
nro now nearly as anxious for the beef
slecre ns they wero two weeks ngof thong!.
tho better granca a.;u at very satisfactory
prices, Cow stuff and feeders have fluctu
ated .lust about tho same as Is noted nbovo
for" natives, ,
HOGS There was n liberal run of hogs
hero todny nnd as other markets were
quoted lower prices at this point took a
drop. Good, heavy hogs sold fully a
nickel lower, whllo the, lightweights were
hard to dispose of nnd were Hiil5e lower
than yesterday and sometimes tho decline
was even greater. Tho best heavy hogs,
weighing .".( pounds nnd over, sold largely
from $0.15 to W.'.'o. Good, heavy mixed hogs
sold largely trom $6.0714 to $6.15. Tho bulk
of tho lightweights went from $5.60 to $6.01).
AVhllo the market was fairly active 011 tho
heavyweights, tho light hogs sold very
slowly and were left until tho last.
Receipts of hogs this week have been
fairly liberal, a good gain being noted pver
the preceding wcck ano a sun greater over
tho corresponding fweek of last year. In
spite of the liberal run the tendency of
prices has been upward and at tho close of
tho week values aro about a shade higher
than lliey wero iusi wcck. i no nign nay
of the week was l-rlday, when values
reached about l'i.30.
which Is the hlnhest
point since October.

SHEEP About four ears of sheep and
lambs iirilxed tmlaji, but two of them were
consigned direct to 11 local packer. The
other two cars were offered on the market
and sold at Just about steady prices.
ho receipts for the last week have been
ttilrly liberal, n good gain being noted over
the previous week and also over the same,
week or last year. The demand has been
Just about equal to the supply, so that
prices lisle not changed materially.
Tho week opened with the market strong
and active n,!d then toward tho middle of
the week the feeling was' not so good, and
prices cased ofT a trifle, Tho last two days,
however, the market has been strong
again, so that prices arc now back to Just
about where they were at the close of last
week, This Is truo of sheep ns well ns of
lambs.
The hulk of the offerings, now helng re
ceived consists of feilstuff, so that tho
feeder market Is rather quiet. So far ns
prices f,re concerned, thero has not been
much change. The demand as well as tho
supply has been of small proportions.

OMAHA. Dec. T.
The total volume of business tnnsncted
last week by local Jobbers was consider
ably In excess ot that for the previous
week. That was probably owing to a
great extent to thn fact that the weather
was colder, at least part ot tho time, than
It has been of late. The snowstorm which
visited ti largo part of the territory tribu
tary lo this market also Improved trado
on a good many lines, but principally on
leather nnd rubber goods. The hollday
trutlo also assumed very liberal prnpoi
tlous last week, as merchants now tcnll.o
that Christmas is close at hand and thai
they urn going to sell more stock this year
than over before. As 11 result they aro
placing liberal orders for nil kinds of hol
iday lines nnd Jobbers are rushed with mall
orders of that character. Traveling men
also picked up a good many orders In
making their rounds,
Thero wero comparatively few merchants
on thn market last week, as tho majority
of retailers arc too busy to leuvo their
stores, Thoso who wer In. however, spoke
very encouragingly both of Immediate bus
iness and of tho prospects for future trade
All they ask for Is seasonable weather for
the rest of the winter, and with that they
nre confident they will have a gooii, brisk
demand.
Traveling men are still meeting with
good success In landing advance orders for
spring, snd In fnct It is safe to say that
thero Is not a Jobbing house in tho city
which will not start In the. new year with
more spring goods sold than over before.
Thero have been very few Important
market changes during the week, as most
lines have, held steady. The markets as n
whole aro In a good, healthy condition,
with a tlrm undertone to tho trade.
Mo More Chrnp Mugnr.
Thn effects of tho sugar war nro tin
longer felt in this territory. It may be
said that practically all tho cheap sugar
that was shipped Into tho Missouri rivet
markets has been cleaned up, so that
thero Is now a good, oven market, with all
rentiers selling on tho Mini) basis they
wero before the price-cutting was started.
The market Is considerably tinner than It
wns a week ago, owing to thn fact that
the raw market has advanced 11 rhade. It
Is predicted with a good deal of confidence
that a corresponding advance In reftnni
sugars will tnko placo In tho near future.
In farinaceous goods thero has been 11
slight ndvance In oatmeal nnd hominy
owing to the high prices ruling on oats
and corn. It Is thought that stilt higher
prices will ptevull In tho near future. Syrup
hns also strengthened up for the same
reason.
Tho coffeo ninrknt Is In practically the
same position It was 11 week ago. Prices
aro fluctuating back and forth to somo e..
tent, but thero has been no permanent
chnngo, In either direction. The ten mar
kel Is also about the same as It was a week
ago.
Owing to tho light supply of both foreign
mid domestic nuts prices are Arming up
and still higher quotations arc looked for hi
tho future.
There luis been no Important chnngo In
tho ennnen goods situation. Both corn and
tomatoes continue, strong and those who
aro posted say that higher prices will pre
vail at no vecy distant date. Oysters urn
also held nt Ilrm prices, owing to the fact
that Ralttmnro packers arc unable to get
enough stock to supply existing orders.
The only chnngo In dried fruits Is 11 slight
advance In currants. Other lines of dried
fruits remain steady, with the demand
rather quiet.
Nulls MnrUed Down Ten Outs.
The most Important chnngo In the hard
ware market Inst week 'was tho drop In
nails, amounting to"10 ccnis per keg. it Is
claimed that this drop does not Indicate
any general weakness In the Iron or steel
market, hut is brought about through com
petition between tho Independent manufac
turers nnd tho trust. The capacity of the
different mills Is considerably in excess of
consumption, so that the Independent
manufacturers have been cutting prices for
tho purpose of moving their goods. Prices
on hnrbwlro are tho samo ns they were, a
week ago, ns tho supply and demand of
that article Is morn nearly equal.
Other lines of hardwate handled by local
Jobbers are In about tho same position they
wero a week ago, with the exception of lin
seed oil, which eased off 2 cents. Raw Is
now quoted at 52 cents and boiled nt , t
cents. Turpentine Is steady at 43 cents
and gloss Is olso selling nt tho same prices
It was a week ugo.
Tho demand for seasonable lines of hard
ware last week was heavier than It has
been for somo time past, which Is taken as
nn Indication, by local Jobbers, that under
normal conditions their trado would bo
very heavy. Even under present condi
tions they aro selling fully as much stock
as they were a year ago, so they are doing
no complaining.
Dry Gnodn Move More Frrrly.
There wns more activity to thn dry goodt
market last week, but still the weather
hns not been cold enough yet to mako tho
demand for winter weight goods very brisk.
Jobbers report a good mnny mall orders
coming forward, but us a general thing
they am rather small, showing that re
tnllers have not sold as much of their
stock as usuul at this time of year. When
ever the tcmperaturo docs take a drop
wholesalers notice n big Improvement In
their sales, so that they figure It would not
tako merchants long to clean up their
stocks If settled cold weather should bo ex
perienced, Thero Is practically no market news to
report, ns all lines ojc In a good, strong
position. Eastern markets aro rather quiet,
with neither huycrs or sellers very anxious,
nnd as a result but comparatively little
business Is being transacted. Every one.
however, seems to have a good deal of con
fidence In future values, as It Is thought
tho demand will continue exceptionally
heavy throughout the coming season.
Good ririunnd for Footuenr.
Tho weather was very favorable last
week for a brisk trade In both leather and
rubber goods, The snow made heavy
weight shoos fell at a rapid rate In tho
country and nil kinds of rubber footwear
also sold more freely than at any time this
season, As a result Jobbers received rujli
orders from all directions and sold morn
stock than for a good many weeks pnsi.
Retailers have been doing considerable
complaining about tho weather nil this fall,
but according to all reports received from
the country they sold enough slock last
week to go a, long way toward m'iklug up
for lost time.
Rubber bills fell due on December 1 and
tho credit tnon of the different wholesalo
houses say that collections aro coming In
more freely than they exported hi view of
tno light demand In tho country for rubber
goods, It Is quite likely that thero will be a
still greater improvement this week owing
to the big sales of last week. There nro
always a good ninny requests for exfep.
slons of tlmo and this year Is no exception
to tho general rule, but so far bills aro
being paid up fully as promptly as they
were a year ago.x Very few business fail
ures have token place this season, so that
jobbers' losses from that source have been
very light nnd no trouble Is expected for
retailers will bo lu excellent condition in
soon as cold weather orrlvrs.
Fruits mill Prndiier,
Thero were almost no Important changes
at all last week In the, prices quoted 011
fresh fruits and vegetables, Huslnem was
not exactly rushing, but still there was a
very fair demand both from tho country
and thn city. Jobbers are shipping out Im
mense quantities nf nuts, and that class of
goods for tho Christmas trade and they
look for n big rush from now until tho
holidays,
Christmas decorations have arrived nnd
thn prices nt which the trees, holly and
evergreen wreathing nud the vnilpushthcr -
lines are selling win ii" niunu 111 uie limi
tations given In another column. A big. do.
mand for that class of goods Is looked for
this season, so that stocks In Oils city aro
unusually large. ....
Tho egg market Is holding Just about
steady. Very little strictly fresh stock Is
arriving on in nijisn, ju-u ui; 10--mand
Ik sufficient to tnko nil that Is of
fered nl good, firm prices.
The. demand for poultry was fairly liberal
last week, while the supply was light, and
prices firmed up considerably. Uutter Is
also 0 shade higher
