Portland wholesale Market.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING Dec. 81.
Monday was observed as close holiday in all
departments of the wholesale trade, and trans
actions the past week have been of very small
proportions. There is nothing encouring to note
in the business situation, aud we still look
for dull trade for some time to come. The
features of the week, as viewed by Bradstreet's,
are-the increase in reports that general
trade is quite as much or more depressed than
previously; that holiday trading has been I'M
satisfactory, and continued closing down of
1mportantind establishments: reductions
OF wages and increased instances where short
time is being enforced. Values in many instan-
ces have further declined. and prices generally
favor buyers. Pork and Lard are weak and
lower, with Flour easier in sympathy with an
other drop in Wheat, and buyers and sellers APP
pear to be wide apart in their views. Corn is
very weak and declining, while Oats continue
steady. Sugar is steady and 1sc lower. Coffee
hrmer. but without quotable change here in val
ues, but the New York market closed trile
higher to-day. Teas dull and steady The FAY
market is without SPECIAL feature: il is being
freely offered and holders seem anxious to sell
their stock, as the proposed reduction OF the
tariff is likely to weaken the market There are
.rumors of an advance in freights from the West
the first of January, but merchants generally
take no stock in the report on account of the
depression in business. Fresh Beef unchanged;

NEW YORK. Dec. .

NEW YORK, Dec. Of.
The market to-day has been rallied in some
directions by buying of shorts, which was eff
and Gen. Electric. The receivershp for New
England hardly counted as factor in the spec
ulation as it had been fully anticipated. Ru-
mors that the /. & N. Co. would pass the usual
January dividend are not Surprising in view of
tne heavy decrease in net earnings for the first
Tour months of the fiscal year, and the present
tlmes are not such as to render scrip issues
popular among investors Wall street is prone
TO discount future events, and the prevailing
depression is only a reflection of what it fears
respecting the DEVELOPMENTS of the next few
months asrespect the earnings of the railroads.
The shrinkage in business is likely to continue
Tor some time, and all but the soundest proper
ues Will be tried by the reduction in revenues.
The best friends OF the roads that may be
struggling with floating debts are embarrassed
In their efforts to finance them blythe prevailing
distrust and the depreciation in values. Conf
dence suffers not alone from the unfavorable
outlook of the roads, but the uncertainty which
attends the final action of Congress on 1egisla-
tive questions before it. Not the least among
the disturbing elements of the situation is the
tional treasury and the inability to forecast
What method will be taken by Congress to pro-
vide for the increasing deficit. We see no pros
pect of an earls change from the unsettled con
dition of speculation, and the only buy ng pow
er in speculation rests upon the occasional pur-
chases to cover shorts.
