uLADELPHIA, Pa, December % The
ufacturing interests throughout the
die States have met with rather un-
9cted demand et this season for all
DIS OF material. The opinion is enter
Ied among good many OF them vho
Se given the subject carefel ccnsidera-
N that q slight advance IN staple pro-
n acts and raw material is assured. The
.dvance in raw material already effected
he's stimulated demand. Crude iron is
stronger Merchant iTOP and construc
ton iron are in better demand. The steel
rail mills are sold for - m0atbs ahead
Iron ore has advanced, and combinations
have been made D. y hich the impro-e-
ment viii be maintained and nroduction
restricted within safe limit These facts
point to an advance in hnishfd products,
not only IN iron and ttael, but in other di-
rections, such as carp ting hosiery and
textile products generally. Leather goods
have been slightly advanced within two
weeks, aud manufacturing interests in
Philadelphia AMI throughout New Eng
land ap5 rehend but little difficulty in OBJ
tanning D to 10 per cent mOrs of the goods
they will turn out this winter. Prepare
tions are being made 70 employ full force
after the holidays and work full time,
making stocks in advance on the strength
OF correspondence and travelling agents
reports. A more satisfactory Distribution
of stocks of all kinds has been made .iar-
ing the fail, and buyers generally are pre-
pairing to stock up full, Collections have
been easy The percentage Of loss has
been less than for Etars
The manufsoru.ers Of machinery have
also receivst orders for heavy and light
machinery for railroad and machine shop
purposes. The advance in prices that
viii probably be effected during the iSln-
ter in wholesale circles, will be reflected
in higher prices smOus retailers. The i'm
provement will stimulate hai!ipg capital
:, in a number Of enterprises to activity, and
mpenssilng advantages wiz no dOaot
result. During the era OF low prices q
Sarge amount Of capital was withdrawn
ON activity, resulting in decreased enl-
ployment, lsck of confidence and all the
dulness Of Numerical depression. The
irOn-maker5 are encouraging the increased
production and C8parity, and the improve
ment which is felt in that branch is ex-
tending to several others.
Wool buyers aFe rather backward ga yet
on account Of the outside prices insisted
upon, but the orders ming in indicate
that no ether Te-CuTCe j. at hand but &c
pay tie holders n cir prices.
