wEEKLY rRApn REVIEW.

Texas Shows Up in Comparatively Better
Condition than Other Southern States.
NEW YoRK, January 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review OF trade says. "a
hopeful feeling everywhere prevails in
spite of retarding influences. Reports of
the condition of business are generally
favorable. The growth of manufacturing
at many western points is
notable feature, and especially in
the gas regions. At points in northern IL
linois and Iowa merchants generally
reckon upon large increase in the amount
of business over last year. The tardi
ness of collections due in different sec
tions to shorter or later crops, to yellow
fever, to mild weather or to retarded
distribution or marketing, is matter of
general complaint. At many cities the
record of building shows surprising in
crease, especially in the west.
The money markets, though usually
we'll supplied, have better demand at
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwau
kee, Omaha and Sioux City. The volume
of currency, practically unchanged dur
ing December, is now 81, 4O6, 100000, only
one and one-half millions below the
largest ever recorded-that of November
l. A year ago it was $1,3S4 100000; n
July, 1887, only 1890, 100000; and in
July, 1886, only $1,250,000,000. During
the past week the treasury has taken in
half million more than it has paid out
and the Bank of England statement
leads to the belief that more money may be
drawn from this side. But merchandise
exports for the past month from New
York have exceeded those of the previous
year 1.6 per cent, against an increase of
2.5 per cent in imports, which would indi-
cate an excess of $2O,O00,000 in exports
over imports for the month. The course
of the stock market thus far has disap-
pointed those who looked for rapid ad-
vances.
Coffee is three-quarters of cent higher,
with sales of 263,O00 bags.
Cotton is steady, with sales of 368,000
bales, and wheat unchanged with sales of
100000 bushels for the week.
Corn is half cent lower and oats nearly
cent higher. Crude oil is nearly 10 cents
lower, and refined 20 cents per 100 gallons
lower.
The enormous output of iron still
sweakens the market, and while the produc-
ton last year is believed to have been
5,970, 900 gross tons. Deliveries of steel
rails were probably 100000 tons less than
in 1887, and about 100 600 tons less than
the capacity of the mills,
The annual statement of failures show
ing that 1,679 firms, or trifle more than
one in 100 won't into bankruptcy in 1888,
is on the whole especially encouraging,
because the average of liabilities was only
$11,545 for the year and $10,7S7 for last
year. This indicates that a remarkably
large proportion of the failures reported
was of concerns doing a small business.
1t may be noticed that throughout the
western and southern states, Texas ex-
Guided, the failures were both more nu-
merous and larger in the aggregate of liza
bilities than in the year preceding, while
in the eastern, middle. and Pacific states
an important decrease in the amount of
liabilities appears, and also in Texas.
Business failures for the week were 1897.

A committee of Berlin ladies recently
presented the Empress Victoria Augusta
with white silk apron, on which the
names of the Empress five young sons
we're worked. The empress, in acknowl-
edging the gift, said that she was honored
by the present, for an apron was always
the symbol of the true German housewife.
And then, putting the apron on, she said,
very simply: "My husband desires me
always to wear an apron; he says it looks

Wall Street Today.

we're there movements worthy of note, the re-

either direction. First prices were steady at
about those Of last night. and only sugar REIN

ton whatever, while the latter was like the rest
Of the list without movement Of importance.
Sugar was rather erratic, with general down.

feature of the trading in that stock was the diff
ference made between sales regular way and

feature Of the hour rising on small transactions

however, there was a little more animation,
and consolidated gas showed marked strength,

The Postmaster General Detained.

Mr.. Wanamaker did not return to the city
early yesterday, as is his custom after his
weekly visit to Philadelphia. He was detained
in consequence Of the suicide of his friend, Mr.

at the department, and after spending an hour
there he took the train back to Philadelphia.
He will attend the funeral of Mr.. Gowen today
and return this evening"
1t was expected that he would be at the
department yesterday, and two delegations
from Baltimore who came over to see him in
the interests Of Mr.. Henderson, who is urged
for appointment to the position of postmaster
in Baltimore, wsfe obliged to return home
without the desired interview. Mr.. Gary, who
wanted TO see Mr.. Wanamaker in the interests
of Mr.. Creger, stuck TO his post in the depart
ment, and when the Postmaster General came
in on his flying visit Mr.. Gsry's patience was
rewarded aud he had the talk he came over
from Baltimore to have.
