Trade Summary.

Far y'S Trdde Report Dec. SRI, IlsS6.
General trade shows far degise of
progressivene $ over the 5, atIs of W, tx
ago. The totals of last we ek's tTarsac-
tions footed up le-sely IN exc > of those
of the week previous, even with the al
owance made of the holiday Occurring
in the latter. The prime-y cause OF this
has unquestionably / IN the coming of
more seasopable weather, and the con-
sequent coming IN . the market of re-
tail dealers who ere at Iost compelled to
to stock up for Gust wants.
The business pu'se of the cour,ry
largely depends upon the demands of the
small stores. and these, of late, have been
stocking only for Iuirements. In the
absence of any worthy specu' alton in
prices, there Is no inducement to carry
stocks, and consequently the small deel-
ers have been sailing rs closely "a pc 81

ent week has be geners'ly '1clement,
as to weather, but the cold slell &C Ems
set in to- stay and tbs has the effect of
continuing the e re sui evidenced
last week.
AS the dry goods 'ad, most severely

fullest degree, the reac. on. t.om the
large centers, excepting only Ph'ladel-
phia, reports come that the buyers ore

provement is felt more slowly.
The gain markets have been &C tive
and are experiencing considerable spec
ulation. ! rye Transactions, however,
are the exceptions, and the trading and
buying for future needs pc confined to
small lots. Prices are steadily but slowly
approaching, and we still think must go
higher.
Cotton hes zen handed, to greater or
less extent, by the 81 ecr'ators, and prices
have show n advancing tendencies. The
movement. however, - SOW, and there
may be fa,'ing-off before the utcent
week is out.
In spite of the apparent pull-back that
wool received, last week, in the lower
prices at the London sales, prices on this
side are as stih, if not sitter than ever,
and while sales are small, and confined
only to immediate needs, there is no tend
ency on the part of sellers to meet buy
ers with anv concessions. The holders
of the better grades are % frm as
ever, while the holders of power stocks
have considerably stifIened up. Waiting
for the London sales has been, so far as
the sellers a-e concerned, the old game
of: Heads l win; tails you lose. The
buyers seem, temporarily, at least, TO
have lost heart, and at this time the
sellers have all things their own way, rs
to prices. Offers for large amounts at
slightly shade figures have cen firmly
refused in the Boston and Philadelphia
markets.
There is little or no change in the iron
markets. Prices are stifliy held, and
contracts for the coming season are being
made more freely.
