Cincinnati Dec. 7-considerable business has been done during the week. though principally in small lots and car loads An unusual amount of figuring has been going on among buyers, almost persuaded' that now is a favored time in which to contract for future wants, and many of these nego- tiations are crystalizng into orders. though at prices somewhat under those Of ten days ago, but the large majority, realizing that the old axiom that iron is the barometer of trade" sisnaily failed this year. have little confidence in the market and have decided ito await developments.

 There are indications that the concessions made by some of the southern furnaces dur ing the past fortnight will not be repeated in the near future.

New York.

New York, Dec 1.-The standoff between buyers and sellers of iron continues. De- cember is generally light month in sales, because of the usual custom of running there is the added inducement of buying to break down prices in a contest of strength with producers. The umpire in the con- test is general business, and he will render his decision early in the new year. Mean while, majority of furnaces have plenty of unified contracts to work on. The few that do not are cutting prices more or less to fill up their order books The drop in Bessemer and the dullness in foundry irons is a dampener on the few remaining fur naces north and south, that were making preparations to go in. Indeed the margin is so close for some of those that have start ed that further decline will raise awkward problems.
 The business outlook, viewed from this center, is better than a month ago. The Kaflr scare the war scare, the assem- bling of congress and the gold exports have ceased to alarm. The balance of trade is for the time in our favor and the gold move fidenee that whatever financial legislation republican congress and President Cleve- land may unite upon. will be conservative and helpful. Nevertheless the prevailing temper is hesitative. There is an absence of speculative spirit, not only on the ex- changes, but all through the range of busi- ness.

New York; Dec. 9.-American Tobacco practically constituted today's market at the stock exchange. The transactions in 1t were 202, 900 shares, an enormous total, leav- ing only 16S 233 shares for the remainder of the list Of this Chicago Gas. Sugar and Leather preferred figured for lle.so0 shares, so that the sales of the usually active list dwindled down to insignificant proportions.
 Tobacco opened anywhere from 66 down to G3, ruled comparatively steady around 63 and GA until the afternoon. when 1t bounded Saturday last. It developed during the late trading that a big short interest had covered and that insiders were willing to accord the stock some support. One bear house re- turned a block of the stock which 1t had borrowed some time ago, and 1t was cur rent gossip that the deal had netted it's prin- cipals several hundred thousand dollars. The return of this stock thoroughly fright ened the smaller bears, who made frantic efforts to get back their contracts in the late trading. There was some buying of the

 New Orleans, bought here. The receipts
 were larger than had been expected, but there were too many shorts and too good demand for the actual cotton receipts to have an influence, particularly as many operators believe the crop is going to be very short whatever temporary squirt the receipts may show from time to time. New
 England mills are believed to be buying more freely at the south. The market cer- tainly responds more quickly to bullish news than to news of an opposite character. Ex- porters bought much more freely here to- day at higher prices. ss

New York, Dec. 9.-(Special) 1.-The market wore a more cheerful aspect today.

March, which closed at S.26 on Saturday, opened at S.H and advanced to S.36 The close was steady with March at B35QS.36. The feature of the day was the ex- tsnsiYe covering of shorts by the leading
