The Current of Trade Steady

New YORK, Dec. ar. G. Dun & Co.
weekly review of trade says: Holiday trade
is not always just gauge OF the prosperity
of the people, but it is satisfactory to know
that al most points ii is unusually large this
year, though some localities report that it is
less than last year. General trade this sea
son is usually light, the merchants being en-
gagged in taking stock but at many points it
er than last year Reports show less com
plant as to collections and large trade in
progress. Pittsburg trade is unusually good
in all lines. with manufacturers more hope
tul and the glass trade fairly good
At Chicago sales and collections of mer-
chandise exceed last years in spite of soft
country roads and the holiday trade is phe-
nomenal; receipts of wheat, corn and rye
are double last years. increase in -four is

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Thu words are blithe an1 full of cheer;
They never pail on any helrer,
Bat born along from year to year.
From year to year soIn1 ever dearer.
And yet We know the words ara vain,
We know the season must be cry,
When those long severed meet again
Beneath the white and scarlet berry;
When small but mirth co mpelling jokes
Are heard from every noOk AMI corner;
When on the board plum pudding smokes,
Attended by the pie of Horner;
When kissing shlll by favor go,
And age declare it only folly
That youth resorts to mistletoe,
And lovely woman Stops 20 holly.
Merry? When all around is bright
Merry? Aye, merry now or never.
Tne chlrl wA0 cln1ot lau III ton gnt
Mustgive the habit up forever.
One week in all the fifty two
Is little time to give to laughter.
Come, join the revel, cynic. do,
Although cynic ever after.
Come, choose a seasonable strain
To fit the jolly days before us.
And SHOUT we all with might and main
"A merry Christmas is the chorus

CARDIFF-M'AULIFFE.
These Defeated Giants Will Battle
Next Wednesday.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-The glove
contest between Patsy Cardiff, the Pc
oria Giant, and Joe McAuliffe, of San
Francisco, which has been arranged by
the California Athletic club for Dec 80,
has attracted considerable attention
from the fact that this is McAulitfe's
first noteworthy fight since his defeat
by Slavln. Cardiff and McAuliffe have
both been defeated by Peter Jackson,
and though Cardiff was stopped by the
latter in ten rounds. while McAuliffe
fought Jackson off for twenty-four
rounds, it is generally conceded Cardiff
made comparatively a better showing
than McAuliffe.
The latter has been training faith
fully at McBride's since the match was
made, while Cardiff has been training
in Alameda county. Cardiff weighed
about 10 pounds on arrival here, but
shows tendency to take on flesh, and
expects to enter the ring at about 185.
McAuliffe will weigh in the neighbor-
hood of 200. The purse is $1,000. The
betting on the fight has not been very
brisk, but what odds have been laid are
slightly in favor of McAuliffe.

CHRISTMAS.

IT'S years since Pan into dark Hades passed.
And Balder. fairest of the gods, was slain !;
n reindeer rides the cold December blast;
No yule-log CLEANS athwart the snow and
rain,
To shadowy mist Saint Nicholas has grown.
And Santa Claus is nothing but name
The Christ-child has no place to call his own;
And not one friend can dear Kris Kringle
claim.
Yet though the old has persisted in the sea
Which ever swallows up each earthly thing:
And though the forms are dead to you and
me,
Whereof our poets once were wont to sing:
The love and faith which gave to them their
birth.
Are stronger far and deeper than before
And make today Christmas on the earth
That will endure when time shall be no
more

STOCK SPECULATION.
The Public Still Holds AIOOf.
Saws BradStPeeteS

New YORK, Dec 24-Bradstreets weekly
Wall street review says: The past week
has witnessed further progress toward the
realization OF that broad and active specula-
ton which for some time past Wall street
has confidently expected. 1t may still be
said that the buying is largely professional,
and that the public has scarcely begun to
take an active interest At the same time,
the steady advance of bond quotations ana
the remarkably heavy trade in that quar-
ter could scarcely have developed
without the assistance of the investing
public, while in the strong upward movement
of stock values and the greatly augmented
volume and well distributed character of the
transactions there is ample evidence that
outside participation Is already growing
apace.
Dit is noticeable that foreign interests, though
not inclined TO take an active part till after
the holidays, have been favorably impressed
by the conditions which prevail here, and
have bought moderately but steadily. At the
same time the general conditions on which
the bullish inclinations are based continue
to exert sustaining influence. The excep-
tional traffic movement, the phenomenal
character OF current railroad earnings and
the ease of the money market are all power
full levers for speculative improvement.
Moreover, one of the Important develop
ments OF the week was a rapid decline of ex-
change rates to an extent which renders it
probable that gold imports from Europe
Will be increased on Il large scale. Nor
were signs wanting that the speculative
forces which are actively engaged on the
bull side are constantly receiving reinforce
ments. The most significant event in this
connection was the marked advance in the
Gould stocks, headed by Missouri Pacific,
which could be interpreted as meaning that
the interest which controls that property is
no longer even passively opposed to the gen
eral speculative inclinations.
At the same time some stocks, notably
Northern Pacific preferred, which have been
under pressure, recovered ground. while
Richmond Terminal had a sharp recovery,
and many of the grangers and other leading
speculatves attained the Lest figures they
have seen in 1891. So strong is the current
thaton Wednesday and Thursday the pros
peet Of the market being closed till Monday
produced comparatively few realizing sales.
and the market was strong and advancing
up TO the close
One of the principal happenings OF the
week did not, however. coincide with bullish
predictions. When the Lake Shore only
maintained its per cent rate for the year,
and Michigan Central and Canada Southern
increased their dividends by only I2 per cent
each, something of a chill was given to the
market, more especially as this action was
regarded as fatal to any exaggerated increase
in the dividend on New York Central. At
the same time the decline in the Vanderbilt
shares was slight, Canada Southern being the
only one to show decided slump.

made by Joseph f. Donohue, the worlds

very fast work is looked for, as at this
distance there are a number of them
quite speedy.

NEW YORK. Dec. 24-The stock market
completed a short but active market today
with the largest business of the week, and
strong tone throughout the list was special
bouyancy in few stocks which were aided by
spiritual causes. The business was specially
large in view of the fact that London had a
holiday, but foreign houses were liberal buy
ers. especially of Richmond d West Point
and while great deal of strength and activi-
ty was accredited in some quarters to Tecov-
ering of shorts, there was no lack of buying
by insiders in the more prominent shares
but a liberal sprinkling of outside business
as well.
In the early trading New York Central be-
came leader in a substantial upward move
ment by which it attained the best prices
reached on the present advance, being ac-
CELEBRATED by further rumors,i in regard to the
size of the expected extra dividend on the
stock next week. Following this lead came
marked gains in Lackawanna, Northern
Pacific preferred, Onion Pacific. Among the
inactive shares to come to the front were the
Iowa Central shares, Oregon Short Line
Pittsburg d Western preferred and Omaha,
all of which made the most substantial gains
on unusually large transactions.
In the afternoon, however. heavy buying
on Richmond 4 West Point securities began.

bidding for the stocks against houses usually
credited with representing the insiders The
whole list however, shared in the i'm
pTovement, and after few minutes. there
prices steadily appreciated for all kinds of
securities throughout the day.
The opening was rather tame at irregul ar
changes from last nights prices, but the
strength and activity, in addition to the char
acter of the buying, soon started the list on
the upward mark. While the stocks men
uoned came forward and re tired in turn, the
strength of the market was never impaired
for moment Realizations were slim. but
the demand was more urgent at all times,
and the afternoon saw none of the usual
dizziness in comparison with business of the
forenoon. The close was active and strong
