NOT QUITE so GOOD.
Some Lines Of Business Depressed but the
General Tone Firm.

NEW YORK, Dec. Or. G. Dun & Co. g
Weekly Review of Trade says: Mild
weather causes increasing trouble. Per-
haps the coal trade suffers most. Many
collieries in Pennsylvania have stopped,
throwing over 600 men out of employ
ment. and great suffering results The
dry goods and boot and shoe trades are
much affected. Collections are only fair
at many western points and small failures
have become alarmingly frequent. In
some southern states trade is seriously af-
fected for the time by the operation of the
Farmers alliances which enlist farmers IN
cooperative trading and absorb money
which might otherwise 60 to settle indebt-
edness with merchants. The result in
some localities almost paralyzes trade.
But the general tenor of reports is by no
means unfavorable. Clearings outside of
New York are still about 10 per cent larger
than last year, and railroad earnings show
handsome increase. The iron business
seems for the most shade less promising.
Sales recently of 10000 tons of Bessemer
rails at S2l. so are supposed to have sup
piled the needs large concerns. With ad-
dltional furnaces turned to production of
this kind of iron the future of prices is less

tion, but it is quiet; plate and structural

appear to have exceeded those of last year

cember the export trade has bsen little
smaller.

The treasury has made heavy disburss-
ments SO that it holds s., 2OO, 900 less cash
than week ago and foreign exchange has
advanced an eighth during the week. The
general level of prices has scarcely changed.
The speculative markets have been COM
paratiYely dull. Only 5000, 900 bushels of
wheat have been sold here, the price ad-
vancing about 1c and the change thus far
has been less than would naturally follow
the close of navigation. Sales of corn
have been 100000 bushels. with a frac-
tlonal decline, but oats are shade stron-
ger: Pork has dropped 35c per barrel and
lard a shade lower. In the stock market
dizziness and depression have been fol-
lowed by stronger tone.
The business failures number $40. For
the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 81.

coded to be the most sweeping ever re-

Judge Brewer Sustains a Demurrer in the
Beales Land Grant Case.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 2O-By sustain
ing demurrer Judge Brewer of the
United States court today decided point
involving the train issues in the famous
Beales land grant case, which involves
sixty million acres of land in Colorado.
New Mexico and Texas. The title of the
cause pending is: Interstate Land COM
pany against the Maxwell Land Grant
company; also Maxwell Land Grant COM
pany against Vincente Purteca and others.
The decision is favorable to Maxwell in
that it holds that the grant to the Inter-
state Land company can not hold for rea-
sons that concessions made by Mexico
were never completed. Beales had no title
to any land except what was set off to him
by the Mexican government as an en-
presario. Beales claimed and decided the
entire tract OF land granted. His titles
are void. Judge Brewer holds that the
Mexican government limited the quantity
of land to be held by one person to eleven
leagues square; thst in the Beales grant
there was stipulation that 200 families
should occupy it, which the Interstate
Land company claims to have the right to
grant by accession.
