The exhibit this week is hardly as salts
factory an one as could have been desired at
the opening of the new year; still, however,
the total footing OF 81 1882, 172, SOS compares
most fayorably with the footing at the end
of the previous week, when the figures stood
at 81 ,160, 552, 3S2. The figures, as compared
with the corresponding week last year, show
a d. crease Of Is 3 per cent. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, that in the majority
of large cities, notably New York ami Phil
adelphia, Monday was observed as a strict
holiday this year. In consequence the COM
parison, in a number of instances, is between
five working days this year and six last
Had no holiday occurred the past week, the
percentage would undoubtedly have been
one of increase rather than decrease. Then,
in additional, the general trade 81 uation
throughout the Ii ited States during the past
week has been one of comparative dullness,
and this was reflected in the exchanges at a
number of the leading trade centers. The
percentage of decrease this week amounts TO
1873, against 10 8 per cent. last week and 35.3
per cent. the previous week-lo Nc" York
the percentage or decrease Is us per cent,
against an increase OF IL per cent. last
week and 1913 per cent. the previous week. In
the first week in January, 1880, in New
York the percentage of increase over 1879
was 704 per cent, but in that week there was
an enormous business done at the Stock Ex-
change. Outside of New York the cleariDgs
show gain in the percentage of increase as
compared with last year, it being 3 9per cent.
this week sgainst AZ per cent. last week and
1926 per cent. the previous week. Ia the
Eastern cities Boston shows a slight decrease
of per cent. January I'd was half-holi-
day, the Stock Exchange being closed on that
day. Philadelphia shows a loss of 100 per
cent. against gain of 16 2 per cent. lat

decrease. In Pittsburg the year opens up |
