A HEsITATING FEELING
With No Immediate Prospect Of Change
In Business Circles.


NEW York, Jan. ll.-R G. Dun e. CO. s
weekly review of trade says: The new
year begins with such uncertainty that
business is somewhat retarded. The pro-
posed sale Of bonds offers ground for conf
dence in the future, but no one Is able to
determine what its earliest effects may ba
in the moneyrnarket, and for the time Ia
Is n cause of hesitation rather thnn hope
fulncss.
Cotton Is unchanged, although tho re.
ceipts for the week have not been very
large, but some slackening appears in the
foreign demand. Wheat is about cent
higher, and corn the same, without dis
tinct reason in either case
The industrial situation has not materi.
ally changed. There is much hesitation
In the iron business. Everything turns on
the contracts for ore, which arc still un.
settled.
In boots and shoes the average Of prices
Is a shade lower, though little change ap.
pears, except In calf boots and shoes.
Leather is a little lower. The demand for
boots and shoes falls far behind expecta.
tions, and many of the shops have closed
for a time, since little new business is he.
ing done. The shipments from Boston for
the week were about $4,000 cases smaller
than last year
Sales of wool are large, although large
part OF the purchases were of n speculative
character, based upon the belief that prices
may be advanced IL the new tariff bill goes
into effect. Tho opening Of wooden goods
shows further tendency toward lower
prices in spite OF the prevalent belief that
higher prices would be realized before
long If the revenue bill which passed tho
house should become law.
The cotton mills are generally running.
though not all with full force and somc
are pling uplgoods without rcga" to tho
immediate demand, which Is compare
lively slack, as they apparently believe
that the short supply Of cotton this year
will ensure them profits In the end, as it
has during the past half year.
Failures for the week have been 43i in
the United States, against 420 last year,
and 80 In Canada, against 81 last year.

tiers that he will be changed. The APP
