NEW YORK, December 26.-R. g. Dun l.
CO. g Weekly Re view of Trade says:
The reports of the condition of trade are
decidedly more satisfactory in most lines.
The holiday trade throughout the north
seems unusually large. and is lively at most
of the southern ports. On the other hand
the money markets are showing more signs
of pressure.
A striking feature for the week is the great
demand for wooden and cotton goods All
cotton machinery Is employed to the full
capacity, byt ID behind in the demand, and
the prices are exceedingly firm, with ten
dency to advance. The result has been a
decided increase in the sales of wool, which
recently declined, but are now larger than q
year ago. In boots and shoes there also
appears q very unusual demand for the sea-
son.
The iron trade has become decidedly
weaker and holders of pig make concessions
of about IS cents, the pressure to sell beng
mainly northern. For nearly all finished
prices are made wherever business is done.
The sale of 1000 tons of foreign rails to
the Pacific coast is reported and the meet
ing of the makers 10 supposed to have ar
ranged for some reduction in price. Trade
in copper drags. Tn Is weaker, but lead is
sheSe stronger at $751;
Cattle receipts at the west are very large
for tho week, 132, 600 head against 10y, 600
last year and 80, COO the year before.
Boston reports that cotton fully maintains
the advance in price. Leather is in i'm
proved demand, and lumber Is steady, while
trade in furniture is good. Chemicals are
fair and tobacco good, with some specula-
ton in liquor on account of the unexpected
increase in tax.
The speculative markets werc much dis
turbed by the large gold exports and the rise
in exchange, and the strin9ency in money
on call, which rose from per cent. two
weeks ago and ohe week ago to 40 per cent
at one time Monday. and is still strong at
6 per cent. Wheat declined but a of cent,
western receipts continuing about 500, 900
bushels daily. But corn fell n cent and
oats declined a cent. Cotton advanced a
sixteenth, the great stock being held for a
rise so that settlements of bankers of south
ern loans are backward. The treasury has
taken in 100000 of its notes and lost as
much gold. while its silver has increase
$500, during the week.
Business failures the last seven days num-
bered 3O1, compared with 3O4 last week and
292 the corresponding week last year.

Foster on Finances.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 22.-The
treasury department was kept fully and
promptly advised on the progress of the
stock market in New York, and Secretary
Foster was in conference with bis assistants
several times upon the situation. After the
department closed the assistant secretaries
gathered in the secretary's room and dis
.cussed events OF the day. The secretary
said, in answer to the question based ON the
report printed in New York, stating that he
was much exercised over the market and IN
tended to come to New York to consult the
bankers: 81 am not going to New York or
anyone else about the financial situation.
There IS nothing in it to warrant such a
commission. We have nearly $500 OOO, 600 in
gold in the United States. If 500, OO0, 900
were to 60 out it would result in reduction
of the public debt to that extent with the
accompanying saving of interest on that
amount. l am not at all uneasy regarding
the situation and if Governor Gears friends
want to renew his wager that gold will be at
premium before the 4th of March I'll take
it and double it afterwards for the remain
der of the fiscal year, ending June 80 next.
AS to gold in the treasury" continued the
secretary, i've are all right. The last
months exports amounted to $7,00O.0OO, but
the treasury lost half million only. The
reserve limit is fixed at 500, COO, 90, and
have $24, 100000 more than that. The re-
sources of the country are greater and more
varied than most people know. and money
that is paid to the treasury for gold can be
used for replacing the amount sold. Money
is needed west and south to buy grain, pro-
visions and cotton, and if can save a man
five or six hundred dollars on million he
does not stop at giving me gold in New York
for currency laid down for him wherever he
wants it If they get us down in this matter
it will be only after long, hard fight"
Gear, he observed, had made wager that
NO q a O
81 don't believe it WILL" observed the secre-
tary.
IF it was not for the scare that seems in
evitable in connection with the shipments of
gold abroad it would not be such a bad
thing after all. The balance of trade is in
our favor at the rate of 2.OOO, 600 a month
and gold will certainly find its way back
here. Last month We shipped more provi-
sions abroad than ever before and l believe
the showing for December will be as good"

The Monetary Conference.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 22.-"I
think there is popular misrepresentation in
regard to the results So far of the Interna-
tional Monetary conference" said Secretary
Charles Foster to reporter at the treasury
department. st is grave mistake" he
said, ito assume tI,at the conference will
prove to be failure. Taking recess until
May was expected by the administration
when the American delegates left this coun-
try. There is every reason for expecting
the conference to reasonable at that date
fixed upon. So far as my personal connec-
ton with the conference is concerned, all
that expect of the preliminary meeting has
been accomplished. The general feeling of
the conference is more favorable even than
We anticipated"

Nebraska Republicans Out,

LINCOLN, NxB., December 22.-The su-
preme court refused to issue the writ asked
for in the Clay county contest cases, thus
throwing the matter out of the courts. The
cases were brought by the republicans, who
tried to secure a writ to compel the clerk of
Clay county to issue certificates to three re
publican candidates for the legislature in
stead of the independents who were elected
on the face of the returns. The basis for
the appeal was the fact that the names of
the independent candidates were printed
twice on the tickets. Republican hopes of
capturing the legislature have been scat
tered by the decision.

They went to Oklahoma with considerable

To Form a State Government

10 Form a State Government
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 26.-Sena-
| tor Perkins introduced bill to enable the
people of Oklahoma and of the Indian Ter
ritory to form a constitution and state gov
eminent and to be admitted into the Union
on an equal footing with the original states
and for other purposes.
The bill was referred to the committee
and will be given hearty welcome, "a PROM
ised by Senator Plat. That senator said
that he was in favor of an immediate con-
sideration of the bill and resort to prompt
action in response to the state of affairs that
has developed.
The bill covers both territories, forming
one state, and provides for constitutional
convention, the members of which are to be
elected by the people. The convention is to
adopt constitution and submit it to the
people and if ratified by them it will be pre-
senSed to congress. and when approved by
congress the work of forming state is COM
plete.
Secretary Noble gave assurance that he
was heartily in accord with the plan for i'm
mediate statehood for bosh territories. and
was also favorable to the plan of making
citizens out of the m embers of the five CIV
ilized tribes as rapidly as possible. There
was no doubt but the mem ber5 OF the tribes
were competent to take care of themselves
as citizens, and there was no longer any
necessity for having tribal governments.
There would be no troubls in the process of
merging them into citizenship.
As estimated by the friends of the new
measure there is a chance to get it through
by making state omnibus bill. This bill
to usher into the Union the states of Arizona,
New Mexico and Oklahoma. They estimate
that the idea of making state of Oklahoma
will be popular one, and If the republicans
will consent TO the admission of tho other
two the whole thing can be put through.
This is the plan that will be adhered to in
seeking the best results.
The republicans will be relied upon TO
bring In Oklahoms. It Is believed that if
the territory is not admitted this session, it
will be many years before 1t is a state, I'M
less there is a radical change of feeling in
such matters in congress. It is realized that
the members of the lobby who are candi- |
dates for the appointment of governor of |
Oklahoma will secretly work against it.
They prefer the chance of getting job to |
statehood. THIS, however, is understood |
and will be guarded against.
