Bradstreet's Report

NEW YORK, Jan. 21 - Bradstreets'
financial review tomorrow will say:
Irregular speculative conditions have pre-
vailed during the week. Dealers of profits
and bear attacks have been seen the lat
ter being based on the revival of the Cuban
agitation in Washington and of silver
measures in the senate. On the other hand,
at declines there were evidences of buying
and In one portion of the market normal
demand of strength has been shown. This
group included the stocks of the Northern
and Union Pacific and the companies
whose titles include the name of Oregon.
The basis for their activity was the grow
ing belief that the companies in question
will obtain an neormous amount of traffic
in the spring from the transportation of
passengers and freight destined for the
Alaskan gold fields.
In the bond list, which was very active,
though not to such an extent as last week,
the features were also largely furnished
by this so-called "Klondike" group of COM
panies. Another feature was the local
traction stocks, but manipulation was SUBJ
jected to more or less realizing. and Metro
politan Steeet Railways, which advanced
to 14S, suffered a midweek decline. London
was not affected in the week. In fact, the
public there was inclined to take an un-
favorable view OF the silver agitation in
congress. On the other hand, Berlin and
Amsterdam have been large purchasers of
Northern and Union Pacific securities
The industrinls, with the exception of
Sugar, were neglected, and that stock was
irregular and generally speaking, weak,
except when the covering of the short in
terest gave 1t temporary advances. The

Dun's Review

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-R. G. Dun G. Co.'S
weekly review of tomorrow will say:
With volume of business for the time
of year 3S per cent greater than in 1892 in
payments through the clearing house, it is
not discouraging that one or two industries
are tagging. The demand for most goods
is heavy for the season, manufactur-
ing works are better, and orders booked
and in prospect are more encouraging at
this season than In any other year of which
equally definite records exist. Exports con-
tinue heavy, In spite of some rise in prices
Treasury receipts from customs were lar
ger in twenty days in January than in the
entire month of October or November.
Failures are considerably smaller than ever
known at shis season of the year, both in
banking and trading, being less than half
last years. Railroad earnings in January
so far as reported have been 1916 larger than
last year.
The rise of wheat to about dollar in
regular sales was not accompanied by
signs of speculative excitement. In fact
the continuance of extraordinary exports,
2,s45,705 bushels, flour included, for the
week from Atlantic ports, against 1,573 217
last year. and for three tweeks, 1922, ,493
bushels. against 5,559,562 last year. besides
4O36.940 bushels from Pacific coast ports
for three weeks, would give an excuse for
high prices, even II the corn exports were
not enough to suggest foreign need
amounting to 9270, 1S9 bushels, against 10, :
174293 for three weeks. The fact that corn
was shipped during the week to Egypt and
Russia, the very countries upon which Eu-
rope most relies for breadstuffs, next to
the United States, affected trade, not un-
reasonably.
Just when the united production of pig
iron was causing weakness, an extraordi-
nary demand for finished productions ap-
pears. For this season, at least the de-
mand is beyond precedent, including $780,
900 tons steel rails for the week and 200, 900
already this year. Orders for plates are
so large that parties doing the work are
sending away some to other countries, be-
ing unable to fill all they receive. Orders
for bars are such that many concerns are
obliged to refuse them. The market is
most excellent for sheets and fair for struc-
tural forms. Nor does this demand spring
from efforts to combine makers of wire
and its products and makers of tin plates.
Prices of all finished products are sustained
by the demand, though Bessemer pig is s
cents lower at present.
Failures for the week have been 374 in
the United States, against 400 last year,
and SO in Canada, against 65 last year.

Had to Play Ten Innings.

The first game Of ball on the Reyn-
oldsville grounds this season was played
Thursday afternoon between the home
team and Rathmel's strong team. Our
boys did not have an easy victory.
Both teams played good ball and were
so evenly matched that ten innings had
to be played to decide the game. AT
the ending OF the ninth inning the score
was ~, but In the tenth inning our
boys pounded the ball numerically and
got eight scores, and the visitors got

favor OF the home team. A large crowd
witnessed the game. but very few OF
the spectators occupied seats on the
grandstand. The ball ground Is not
fenced in and hence an admission fee
cannot be charged to see the games
played. but seats on the grand stand
cost ten cents for ladies and fifteen cents
Tor gentlemen. Our club built the
grand stand for the purpose OF having
people pay for seats on it and by this
means hope to raise enough money to

come here to play, but II our people
