NO CHANGE IS NOTICEABLE
Business Seems to Be Waiting for
the New Year.
A Revival Is Confidently Expected
After Januayy---HoIiday Trade
Is Reported Good Over
the Country.

New York, Dec. 19.-R. G. Dun & Cos.
Weekly Review of Trade says today:
Cuban reports, an unusua closeness OF
money in Germany, and the decision
that there will be no action on the tariff
at this session, have not really changed
the situation. but have been talked
about as IL they might change II. A
sudden demand for gold from Germany
just before the close Of the year is not
unusual nor Ices IL coun for much.
Not facts, but only desires or fears.
have led some to look for a change OF
tariff before March, and considerable
speculation based on that idea has been
arrested, but other business waits for
the gradual improvement OF the con-
Stunning demand. The holiday trade is
generally large. though at some points
more confined TO cheap goods than
usual, and the influence of an increase
in the working force is felt in other
ways. But until the new year the only
material changes expected are such as
to prepare for a large business next
year. In the iron and steel industry
these appear OF the utmost Importance.
Exports Of cotton are naturally slim
ulated by lower prices. Receipts from
plantations continue heavy. The de-
mand for goods in this country falls be-
low the increased production, and the
market is weak in tone, with prices Of
some jobbers' bleached goods sharply
reduced.
Speculation in wool has halted, and
concessions are more frequent, Ohio Xxx
selling at 10 cents, against 20 cents re-
Gently. The demand for goods seems To
have been postponed until after the
holidays.
The control of the Mountain Iron
Mesaba mine has been leased for fifty
years, or purchased by the Carnegie in
terest from j. D.. Rockefeller, the ore
TO be shipped by his new steamship line
OF the lakes, and by the new railway
which the Carnegie company is build
ing to Lake Erie. This and other things
viii affect all combinations In steel
products or in ore. The billet pool has
practically dissolved. The beam pool
has revived and restored the price. but
nails and steel bars are a shade lower.
A sale Of 5000, 900 pounds Of Lake cop
per is reported at 1ll2 cents.
The 10 and shoe industry is near the
end of orders, receiving scarcely any OF
the advances asked, but eastern ship
ments are still large.
Wheat rose about 2 cents Monday.
but declined still further and closed Y
cen lower for the week. The receipts
in two weeks have been 6,625.3s2 BUSH
els, against II, 500, 5S7 last year, and Az
lantic exports for three weeks have
been, nour included, 6,92l, 144 bushels,
against 5,907, s24 last year. November
exports, flOur included. were IL, 1856, l3e
bushels, against IL 1892, l40 last year, OF
which Pacific exports were 5,8lS, 14s.
against 4,405, 301 last year. For three
months exports Of cotton ard bread
stuffs only hav about equalled the total
value Of all imports.

Bradstreet's Review.

New York, Dec. 19.-Bradstreet's says
today:
Wholesale trade continues of smaller
volume than expected, practically the
only activity in the wholesale lines be-
ing in groceries, candies, fruits and
nuts. The weather has interfered with
~seasonable business, which at many
centers is smaller than in preceding
years in that there is a larger proper
ton of purchases OF a cheap grade of
goods. The downward tendency Of
prices pointed out a fortnight ago is
continued. This includes quotations for
hides, which cause boot and shoe job
bers TO restrict purchases, anticipating
cuts in prices for shoes, steel rails, steel
billets and bessemer pig iron. Cotton,
too, is lower on confidence of a larger
crop than expected, as are also print
clothes, anthracite coal, Indian corn,
oats and petroleum. Steady or practic-
ally unchanged quotations are reported
for pork, lard, coffee and sugar Wheat
and rosin are higher.
The dry goods market Is quiet for sea-
sonable fabrics, jobbers reporting only
a small record of trade. Wooden mills
report a moderate quantity of orders.
Exports of wheat Ciour included as
wheat) from both coasts of the United
States this week amount to 1924, 1923
bushels, as compared with 4,222, 900
bushels last week and 2.056. 900 bushels
in the week a yea ago. Exports of In
dian corn from both coasts continue
heavy, aggregating 2,s14,150 bushels,
compared with 3.54l 900 bushels last
week and 2,O57, 900 bushels a year ago.
There are 1853 business failures report
ed throughout the United States this
week. % fewer han last week and 20
less than in the corresponding week one
year ago.
There are 80 business failures report.
ed from Canada this week, compared

Six Times Z Better.

John NJ. Palmer is six times a
bolter, it appears. His first bolt,
it is stated, was from the Demo
cratic Party; his second from the
Illinois Republican caucus
which nominated Lincoln for
United States Senator; his third
from the army Of the United
States, in front Of Atlanta, from
pique at Tecunseh Sherman; his
fourth from the Republican
nomination Of Grant il 1872,
and his fifth from the Populists
platform he endorsed ct Springs
field in 1891. Verify, he is the
right sort OF candidate for bolt
ers, but Democrats worthy OF
the name they bear should and
will have none of him --- ri )
