FORT WORTH, TEX. Dec. IS. 1888. !
Nothing but activity has prevailed upon
the markets of Fort worth to-day. The
fine weather has cleared up the roads
and country people have filled the city
bringing in their products to exchange
for goods necessary at this season of the
year. Retailers have been kept con-
stantly busy. The trade in Christmas
goods exceeds anything ever before known
in this city. Numerous new stores have
been opened up all over town for
the accommodation of that line of trade
alone, and the assortments are large and
enticing. Wholesalers in Christmas
goods are well put about to keep up with
their orders.
Chickens are up a few cents. The sup
ply of produce is fair.
Cotton receipts were heavy to-day
Quotations are unchanged.
1t is stated in the Chicago dispatches
that the eastbound traffic last weak was
very heavy, and all of the trunk lines
were crowded with seabOard freight
The increased business VIII make this one
u
Lake Shore road is reported 500 cars be-
hind shipping orders.
From present indications the steel rail
consumption for the next year will be
greatly below the capacity of the domes-
tic mills, SO the prospect for the manu-
facturerS is not OF the brightest. Brad
street s states, however, that the steel
rail market has turned and prices tend
upward. This has been caused by the
withdrawal of one or two of the mills
whose cutting caused the fall of prices,
the agreement among Il few Western
mills to partially restore prices, the with
drawaI of several mills from production
and the determination of the managers
of the mills running to hold prices firmly
at S2S to 329 at Eastern Pennsylvania
mills. A firm of iron brokers near
Pittsburg is reported to have bought
nearly all the visible supply of nails, but
there has been no advance and the
slightest rise would quickly set the idle
rail mills running again.
Money is plenty at the East. and the
treasury reports show that the currency
i'll circulation, though 81 200 600 less
than on November l -, was about S37 300,
600 larger December l than year ago.
But during the week the treasury mas
taken in 81 400, 900 more than it has paid
out. Exports of gold continue without
causing apprehensiOns, as the movement
is not likely to be large, and as consider
able of the precious can be spared. In
the Northwest collections are good, says
Bradstreet s, but some uneasineSs
is felt in portions of the Southwest
where they are reported slow, and fail
ures in Memphis are numerous. Imports
of merchandise continue to fall behind
those of the year and exports have been
retarded by the high charges for ocean
freights as well as the speculative manip-
ulation of prices. Railroad stocks have
been depressed. Want of confidence
prevails among traders and foreign
holders are gradually dispoSing of their
American railway shares, but good rail
way bonds continue III active demand.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, Dec. lS.-There was less
vim and snap TO the stock market to-
day, and beside showing a marked fall
ing of in the amount of business done
prices were on a lower level than last
night figures throughout the day, and
many stocks, especially grangers, are
materially lower this evening. The rise
of yesterday offered greater opportunity
to accept profits on the bah side than has
occurred III some time, while the heavy
buying to cover shorts was entirely lack
ing to-day, and aside from pro-
fessiOnal dealings there was little
or nothing doing. Leading oper-
The market gradually became more cir
cumscribed, and positive dullness became
the leading feature, though the decline
made steady progress until the last half
hour, when all motion disappeared from
tie list, and the market closed very dull
anG fairly steady at or close to the lowest
price Of the day. The active list almost
without exception is lower this evening.
Railroad bonds were more active to-
day, although the general list showed
little if any improvement over the linn
tied business of the past two or three
weeks. The only marked feature was
strength in san Antonio and Arkansas
Pass S, which advanced per cent. to
% on very moderate trading, but the list
was firm to strong almost entirely through
the day and was in marked contrast TO
the weakness of the share list. Advances
of Importance include Mobile and Ohio

Government bonds were duh and steady
