Such views, in fact. find general credence in financial circles, but at the same time the market, after remarkable exhibition of the bullish tenn per in the early part of the week, presented all the symptoms of a heavy realizing of profits by professional interests, which to a considerable extent checked the advances in the parts of the list in which the up ward movement had been most pronounced, and diminished the volume of trading to considerable extent.

PIG IRON OUTPUT FOR MONTH
By Far the Greatest of any Month of
 the Century.
wooLEN INDUSTRY ALSO ACTIVE
Much Improved Demand for Goods Has Started Into Operation Mills Which Have Long Been Idle-Prico
 of Wheat Advanced.

New York December 16-R G. Dun cs Co.'S. weekly review of trade will say to- morrow:
 December is adding a surprising close to the most surprising year of American his tory. November surpassed all other months of the century in the volume of business and production and thus far December IS doing even better in payments through clearing houses, in railroad earnings, in foreign trade, in output of pig iron, in ac- tivity and strength of securities.
 But that is saying great deal, for In all these and all other tests November was by far the best month of American financial history. Not only is the pig iron output for December so far the greatest ever known but 1t has increased 22h per cent. since 1892 when the greatest monthly record then was ever known. Indications point to a consumption of 1O24,313 tons during the month. With scarcity of pig iron feared there is as yet no result whatever in fn- ished products, though the demand is far beyond all production Bids for S2000 tons of steel rails for Australia seems to be opened today at Pittsburg, while Chicago has pending a bid for 200.O 900 tons, delivera- ble in two years in Asiatic Russia. In other lines the demand for finished products is of the same surprising magnitude, especially in plates and in sheets.
 The WooIen Industry
 The woolen Industry also comes to the front with very extensive purchases of wool by large houses and small, helped by ma terial concessions at Boston, so that sales at the three chief markets have been IT, 96S, 700 pounds, of which 13,Se0,2W pounds were domestic. The transactions show a demand fairly up to that of the most pros porous years heretofore.
 much improved demand for goods has started many mills long idle and the pros- poets for the next season with wool at mod crate prices has decidedly improved. No man can say that the advance in cotton with a strong milling demand at home due to orders for goods which lift prices gen. erally little, Is not warranted In view of the heavy export trade. The foreign de- mand Is inexplicable, considering its vol tune, but dealers abroad are doubtless seek ing to protect themselves for the future
 While prices for wheat have been cents netroager for cash, the movement of exports for the two weeks of December have been about 5000 900 bushels more than last year.

BRApsTREET,s REVIEW

New York, December 16.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Likening the general business of the coun- try to that of a water course, it may be au- thoritatively stated that nearly all the channels of seasonable trade are at the present time running full, and In some lines of business the stream Is virtually out of the banks. This is particularly the case in iron and steel, where the production and consumptive demand are alike going on at an unprecedented rate. Nothing like the present activity in this branch of trade has been seen for many years past, if indeed it has been equalled. Probably never before in the countrys history has 1t been possible for an American steel company to refuse a profitable order for rails for foreign account on the plea that its mills were already fully occupied so far ahead as to preclude it's trying for the business. Higher prices for pig iron, steel billets, soft steel and all sorts of car material are reported, while the production of raw material is at it's maxi mum. Shipbuilding, too, nearly contributes it's portion of activity to the iron trade by Its urgent calls for material

Prices Advancing

In other lines of business the situation as regards prices is favorable one, notable among the advances reported being nearly all the cereals, cotton, coffee, lumber and variety of other less prominent stocks
 Following the slight recession shown in wheat values of last week an improved de- mand for export has again developed which is evidence of the fact that stories of com- petition from Argentina and Russia have been more or less discounted. the United States remaining, for some time past, the principal source of supply for the world
 Increased interest is being taken in cotton at an advanced price and the situation in the manufactured product has been strengthened by the print cloth situation, which, in turn, has induced a more liberal demand for all kinds of products for spring trade.
 Holiday trade is reported extremely active at most markets.

That President Mckinley is fully a.
live to the necessity OF his retaining
the confidence he has had unreserved-
ly up to this time was shown by the
promptness with which his friend,
Gen. Grosvenor, denied the story that
the President was scheming with
Speaker Reed and other prominent
members of his party to hurry up the
adjournment of Congress in order to
prevent any action being taken on the
Cuban question. Gen. Grosvenor
said that the President, instead OF
scheming to get Congress out OF the
way, especially wished Congress to re-
main in session until the Cuban ques
ton was settled, in order that he
might avail himself of its advice and
assistance. 1t is we'll known is Wash

so far treated Congress with greater

With plenty of money at it's di :
posal, the administration is making
preparations for war in every direc
ton, although it's members are still
expressing the hope that war will be
avoided. 1t is all right to hope that
there will be no war, but it is doubt
full if there is a single responsible
official of the government who does
not believe that war with Spain is
bound to come. There is now only
one way that war could be avoided,
and those who know the situation IN
which the present Spanish Ministry is
regard that as an impossibilty.
The only way to make sure OF peace
would be for Spain to at once grant
the independence of Cuba, and to
meet whatever demands this govern
ment may make as a result OF the
report of the Maine Court of Inquiry
and there is little likelihood that the

Although the newspaper dispatches
insist that Spain has purchased war
ships in England, official advices to
this government say that no such
purchases have been or will be made.
The administration feels amply able
to whip SPANS navy without buying
any ships, but it has sent naval
officer to Europe with authority to
purchase any vessels that would make
really desirable additions to our
navy, and it is possible that he may
buy some. As he will pay cash for
what he buys, he will have the pick
of everything in that line that can be
sold. A number of vessels have been
offered for sale by parties in Europe

Spain has not added anything to
the already slim prospects for peace
fuI ending of the present situation, by
it's foolish attempt to make it appear
to Europeans that the United States
by gathering fleet of warships at
Key West had made the success OF
autonomy in Cuba impossible. This
suggestion, like that for the recall OF
Consul General Lee, was made In such
a way that the Spanish government
can disclain responsibility for 1T,
should it become necessary. This
government is not likely to take the
slightest official notice of it, any more
than it will break up the fleet at Key
West or stop any other PREPARATION
It is making for war. The only posi-

The desire of spectators to in
