other sellers to covering a loss in a hurry.

: Slowly at Buyers Prices and Fresh
Receipts Meet With Slow Sale at Re-
duced Quotations.
FRIDAY, Dec. 2.
The bright weather to-day brought out
an unusually large number of buyers from
city and nearby points, and distant dealers
in this market were fairly we'll represented
by mail, but trading was rather slow than
otherwise and no fresh features of conse-
quence came TO the surface. The most no
ticeaSle thing, perhaps, was the demoraliza-
tion of the poultry markets. Receipts of
fresh stock were large, and with held stock
practically unstable, the market was slow
and prices low. On this subject the head OF
leading commission house talked as fol-
lows; "There were signs of q little improve
ment yesterday, but they have entirely dis
appeared Held stock is not moving, even
al buyers prices, and OF course this fact
hurts the market for fresh receipts. II ship
pers would only hold Off for u few days and
give us q chance to clean up little be-
love we would then be able to do better for
them" Old stock sold to-day at almost any
price anyone was willing to pay-chickens,
40Sc per lib; turkeys, 7@sc, and other de-
scriptions proportionateiy low. The quota
tions given under the regular heading are
considerably above these figures, but they
are for fresh, attractive receipts.

Sales Confined to smallLots.

ST. LOUIS Dec. 2.-[SpecioLl l-Rogers, Brown
& Meacham say: The sales of iron during
the past. two weeks have been confined
mostly to small lots excepting two
sales OF l,cC0 tons Lake Superior
iron. Buyers in this territory are all pretty
well filled until the first of January, and do
not contemplate buying for next years de-
livery until after the first. Southern fur
naces are still main tanning prices and COM
plain that they cannot secure cars to ship
orders already booked.

Behind ON Old Orders.

-PHILADxIPHIA, Dec. 2.-ESpeciaL J. Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: The demand for pig iron
is not quite as heavy as it was few weeks
ago, that is, solar as new business is con-
cerned. Furnaces are behind on old orders,
owing to car shortage and freight blockades,
and numerous founuries who usually carry
q moderate supply OF iron have found them
selves entirely out OF iron. Orders should
be placed at least SIX weeks in advance Of
actual requirement.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-Demand for drygoods
was more moderate to-day; with the many
cottons taken this week buyers have be-
come fairly well supplied and the market
sold further ahead than ever before. Prices
will probably continue to advance in a way
to even up the market, but the opinion be-
gins to obtain that the movement of natives
has nearly reached its climax. At any rate
a halt is not improbable. There was no
specially new feature to-day. Business in
wooden fabrics was fair and interest in that
direction is expected to increase.
