Improvement la 8tliri.raely Coslsed
to Financial Matters.
NEW YORK, Dec. . Bradatreefs to
morrow will say:
Improvement is still largely confined to t
financial matters, notable In this respect
being the increased ease of call money,
some lifting or ine emnargo on urns lumn,
advancing prices for both bonds and Blocks
and a lowering of the currency premium
after a audden advance due to ''window
dressing" necessities on the part of some
banks. Accompanying these developments,
however, has come an accent uaiion or me
more confident feeling noted In general
trade lines and In a few Industries, further
reinstatement of orders cancelled In a
panicky way some lime ago, some renewal
of buying for quick shipment from Job
bers, and, where more seasonable weather
has permitted, as In the northwest and
south, some stimulation of the demand at
tetsll for winter apparel and for holiday
specialties. At best, however, trade as a
whole la still very quiet and Indus
trial activity is Iwlow the normal for this
season of the yea,-.
As to banking matters, the situation
has undoubtedly Improved greatly and this
Is said, too, with full appreciation of the
fact that two large Interior banking con
cerns were this week foroed to suspend.
This latter development la, however, re-
f arded largely aa a case of wreckage com
ni ashore after a storm known to have
been very destructive, but actually past and
gone. 'Favorable aides to the situation are
many and various. Several cities report
that the issuance of clearing house certifi
cates or emergency currency hss been sus
pended, others report that currency pay
ments are auite general and the feeling Is
that the payment of money over the OJUn'.er
will soon be quite generally resumed.
In strictly trade lines It Is to be noted
that there has been a slight rallying tend
ency shown In many commodity prioes
from the abnormally low levels touched at
the depths of the depression In November.
Another feature Is the number of reuorts
of reawakened Interest In some Hues of
cotton goods, which a short while ago were
being neglected. For one thing, there Is
some sign of lif In export trade In cotton
cotton yarns are steadier than of late, and
this, with lelnstatement of orders from
Interior buyers and the strength -of raw
material, -has helped to a much more con
fident feeling than existed a short While
ago. Opinions of low priced woolen goods
for the fall of 1D0S have evoked fair orders
and wool is also better In tone, so far as
fine staples are concerned. .
For the first time In months buyers are
evincing more Interest In ptg Iron for fu
ture delivery, the Inquiry being most nu
merous In the south. Prices, however, are
lower, Production Is still being curtailed,
and It Is figured that most of the furnaces
In the Mahoning and Bhenago region will
be out of blast by the middle of this month. 1
The output in November declined 2.1 per
cent from that of October, but this ratio
doee not begin to represent the curtail
ment wrought thus far In December.
Lower prices for finished Iron and steel am
expected to come without causing any
marked unsettlement.
