money market. The speculation in Federal
steel issues was on tremendous volume
of business and both common and preferred

of the usual support, the stocks broke.

The market this week continued in an al

Bradstreet's Report

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-Bradstreet's To-
morrow will say:
Current business conditions furnish some
sharp contrasts to those usually looked for
or reported at this season of the year. 1t is,
of course, reasonable to look for exception
al activity in holiday and retail trade gen
orally at this date and in this respect the
most Sanguine expectations appear to have
been realized. Probably never before at
this date however, was the course of gen.
eral business so animated as 1t is at present
Speculative activity is no longer confined
to the stock market, but has widened to in
clude wheat and corn among other cerelas
and copper among the metals. while the
rush of business in iron and steel seems lit
tie, If any abated, and some lines, notably
cotton goods and raw wool, are displaying
an activity and strength which would have
been welcomed a any time for year past
Frices of securities and of staples alike fur
nish examples of aggressive strength
which are so numerous as to deserve special
mention.
In the iron trade no signs of tagging in
terest are to be discerned. but rather m IRE
pronounced activity in new directions. The
feature of the week has undoubt ediy been
the reported placing of an order for $4,000
tons of steel rails with an eastern mill to go
TO Siberia. All the strength of prices is
maintained, and in some lines, notably bill
lets wire rods, plates and bars, further
advances are to be reported. In many lines
the country's production seems to be heavi-
ly SOLD ahead and the utmost confidence is
st az 10 vaues 1eing main
metals, too, sympathetic rise is' to be dis
cerned.
The foreign demand for cereals con-
tinues unabated, any slight reaction in
price being taken advantage of by foreign
buyers. Wheat closes the week with quo
tations well up to the highest paid thisl
autumn, and short sellers of December de-
livery are reaping the benefit of indiscreet
speculation. The strength of wheat has
been enhanced by sympathy in the growing
speculative interest in corn, for which the
highest price paid for three years pas; has
been recorded. Speculation in copper and
copper stocks has received an impetus this
week from rumors of a combination to con-
troll the American production.
Strength and firmness is a feature also
of the lumber market, with the possible
exception of yellow pine, where keen COM
petition tends to check the advancing tend
ency shown by other woods. In other lines
of general trade and industry reports are
as a lule favorable

Extraneous inducements

Purveyors of mining stocks in Colorado
are offering extraneous inducements. A
circular to hand from a mining company
Offering 100000 shares CT its treasury stock
at 10 cents per share urges upon its pros
pective clients to come and look at the prop
erty themselves, and offers to pay all trav-
cling and hotel expenses from his home to
the property and return of anybody buying
10000 shares. The idea is susceptible of
even wider application and is not to be
hastily decried The Colorado railroads
and hotels will doubtless look with favor
upon the proposition. Such inducements
have been granted elsewhere, though it is
believed this is the first instance where it
was publicly announced in prospectus
Mining and Scientific Press.
