AN ACTIVE MOVEMENT

In General merchand1se-Country Produce

Continue to Move With Great Freedom
Late Gossip on the Corn Crop.
FRIDAY, Dec. 16.
The usual preparations for Saturday BY
the city and nearby retailers gave trade in
wholesale lines an appearance of decided
activity to-day, which was particularly no.
ticeable at the produce commission houses;
but significant price changes, or other fresh
features, were still lacking The most nota-
BILE feature of the general trade of the city
is still the movement in holiday goods,
which is admitted on all sides to be consid-
erably heavier than that of previous years.
Practically the corn crop of 1892 has now
all been safely housed. Although the
weather has been damp and wet for gather
ing in there have been no storms to delay
farmers husking, and farmers have pre-
ferred rather to gather the crop in poor con-
dition than take the chances of leaving it
exposed to storms.
Crop Expert Prime says: Farmers are
making very few contracts for corn; indeed,
the movement in the interior is compare
lively nothing. The shortness of the crop in
every State. the large quantity of poor corn,
and the high price of hogs all tend TO keep
the corn at home until next season. Nebras-

this week has been extremely quiet and
there is but little new business to report.
Quite a number of large buyers have been
feeling the market in reference to placing
orders for the first six months of the next
year. Stocks in consumers hands are ex-
tremely light and the indications are most
favorable for a healthy buying movement to
set in after the turn OF the new year. Enough
furnaces are going out of blast to counteract

CITIZENS FRACTIONS ANNUAL REPORT

FRIDAY, Dec. 16
Trading on Change to-day was fairly
heavy, covering Citizens traction, Central
traction, Duquesne traction, P. & B. trac-
tion, Philadelphia Company, Lustre Min
ing COMPANY, Pleasant Valley Railway
and Westinghouse Airbrake, the unusual
number of shares traded in giving weight
to the opinion expressed in these columns
yesterday that the market was showing q
broadening tendency. The fractions and
Philadelphia Company were the most ac-
tive, and, in conjunction with Airbrake,
showed more or less marked
changes in one direction or the other.
Philadelphia Company continued to
advance, and Airbrake moved up to 130
sales on the announcement of the
double dividend, closing at 131 asked.
Citizens traction also made a good
gain under a good demand, and Central,
f1rmer. The weakest spots were 2. B: and
Duquesne fractions. The former sold down
to 255S, closing weak, and the latter closed
on a net loss of a dollar share from the
previous close. Opening at 2s< sales it I'M
proved to 2SZ sales, dropped back and
closed at 2ss6@2s%, sold down to Is after the
last call and the curb close was weak at
2s@2sA.
Union Switch and Signal, Underground
Cable and the minor gassers were all strong,
with Cable q dollar q share higher in the
bidding, but others were without change.
