Bradstreet's Report.

New York Jan. 3.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say: The week which ended 1895
and ushered In 1896 has been very dull in
mercantile circles. as Is usual at this pc
Rod. The volume Of business has fallen
away sharply owing to the New Years
holiday and the quiet In trade circles at
a time when stock taking and preparing
samples for commercial travellers are taxi
ing the attention of tobbers and commits
sion houses. A slackening of activity in
some important manufacturing lines is
also noticeable. kilograms from mercan-
tile centers report slow orders. the ex-
ception being at a few points in Southern
states. Jobbers in leading lines at many
centers are confident as to the outlook for
trade in the near future. although in in
stances fears are expressed of unfavora-
bic effect due to inability to secure nee
essary legislation on financial questions.
AS is usual at this season, there is con-
siderable increase in the number of bus
mess failures in the United States. the
total reaching 403 against 3l6 last week.

cent. There have been heavy sales OF
California and territory woods and OF
nearly all the varieties OF foreign mernos.
Coarse. or carpet stock, - duh. The boom
started at the end of last week was
caused by manufacturers wishing TO re-
cover orders with purchase OF material
before any possible change In the tariff.
Not nor four years has there been so gen.
eral a demand from the smaller mills.
The last half of the week has been very
quiet, but the advance is well held. The
sales for the week are: 1855, 900 pounds do
nestle and 2.35l.0o0 pounds foreign.
against 3O57.oo0 pounds domestic and
l,52s 600 pounds foreign for last week.

A Startling Forecast.

OF all the forecasts that can be made
to-day regaI ding the future of the
United States of America, none seems
more reasonable than that the civiliza-
ton of this nation will be essentially
Germanic in it's fundamental character
istics. 1t may in truth be said that,
from the Hottest point Of view of uni
versal history, the most important
event in the nineteenth century-at
least so far as Western civilization is
concerned-may easily prove to be the
reunion latter a separation of fourteen
hundred years. of the Germanic race
Anglo-Saxons and Teutons-upon the
virgin soil of the new continent A
century ago, as Mr.. Kidd graphically
describes in his Social Evolution" IL
was a grave question whether the Gel
tic or Anglo-Saxon race was to predom-
mate in the nineteenth century. This
question was answered for Europe by
the expansion Of England and the de-
cline of the purely Celtic peoples. So
far as the United States was concerned,
the issue was never doubtful and 1t
was settled for all time when the great
tide of German, Austrian and Swiss
emigration to this country set In. The
descendants of those sturdy and enter
prising tribes who bade farewell to
each other on the bleak shore of the
North sea in 449 are to-day the undis-
puted masters. for good or for evil. OF
the destinies of this great continent.
AS Lord Acton beautifully expressed II
in his inaugural lecture at Cambridge.

Remarkable contrasts are shown this

tured products. Compared with Jan. i.
1895. prices of manufactured stocks of ma
terials rose for pig iron 75.1 per cent. TO
the highest point. but only 81 at the

53.7 at the highest point and 2s.5 at the

rose TT At the highest point and 6.s at the
closebut wooden goods reached one-eighth

ing a shade weaker. The comparisons
cast much light on the depression and in
crease OF the failures during the last
quarter. Wheat producers suffered from
wild speculation. which prevented the ex-
porting of many millions of bushels and
