BRADsTREETs FINANCIAL REvIEw.

NEW YORK. Dec. H.-Brzdstrest's Financial Review tomorrow will gay:
 In view ot the recent r1ssE and large stock exchange transactions it was thought that the market prior 10 the holidays would become dull and react The beginning Of the week was marked bY tendencies which agreed with this estimate. but after the first day or go re- neWec strength developed and prices were in many cases carried to the highest yet reached. the activity of speculation being shown by the total dealings from Wednesday to Friday which were well up to sD1. co shares each day. While leading financial interests were active and gave s support to certain gpecialties which had c due effect in both starting and main taininz the movement. the buying of stocks by the public was the most notable bullish factor of the week. Stock commission and brokerage houses have uniformly had exceptionally large volume Of business, and while the ex- tent Of the advances has induced great deal os profit taking both by the professionals and the public, concessions in prices develop further purehaEing power. London was inclined to rezt, and also seemed at first to be indulgfng in profit taking in Americans:
 The renewed strength of the market here, however had stimulating effect on its in tsrsst in them. and in the latter portion of the week there was fair foreign purchasing. It seerns, however. that the English financial press exhibits a suspicious attitude toward Americans and recommends a suspension of buying until reaction occur. Theories of this kind found favor at the outset with a large section of the board room professionals here. so that their short selling in anticipation of a moderate decline such as the market almost day week of the year. simplifed the work of the leaders who instituted the renewed ad- vance. To a large extent the market has been more speculative in character, although the falling off in the bond transactions to around q, 600. 600 each day may be accounted for by the diminished activity in a number of bond is- where manipulation has been rather ap- parent At the same time 1t must be ad- mitted that the purchasing on the part of the public was mainly for speculation an idea that further large advances in stock values are in sight being among the principal influences of the moment.

DRIED FRUITS IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The Journal of Com merce says: While usual at this time of the year the movement of dried fruits from first hands is slow, general feeling among holders is one of confidence, and good business is look ed for early in January. Recent auction sales both of California and imported fruits have taken out of the market a considerable quan- tity of stock which might otherwise have been pressed for sale later on. thus continuing the unsettled feeling. While these auction sales have not been as successful had been ex- pected, the results appear to have given fair satisfaction to sellers, and 1t is believed they will be continued With the exception of raf- sins all kinds of California dried fruits appear conditions existing in the California dried fruit market to-day are said to differ from those usually present at this season in that there have been very few consigned goods this year and consequently stocks in Eastern markets are under better control than Is generally the case.

BRADsTREETs ON CONDITION OF BUs1-
 NESS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Bradstreets to-ror- row will say: Current business conditions fur nish sharp contrasts to those usually looked for reported at this season of the exceptional activity in holiday and retail. trade generally at this date, and in this respect the most sanguine expectations appear to have been realized. Probably never before at this date however, the course of general busi- ness 50 animated 1t is at present. Specu- lative activity is longer confined to the stock market, but has widened to include wheat and corn among the cereals and copper among the metals, while the rush Of business in iron and steel seems little, if any, abated, and some lines, notably cotton goods and raw wool, are displaying activity and strength which would have been welcomed at any time for year past. Prices of securities and of staples alike furnish examples of aggressive strength, which are so numerous as to deserve special mention.
 In the iron trade no signs of Tagging inter- est are to be discerned, but rather more pro- nounced activity in new directions. The fea- ported placing of an order for so. 900 tons of steel rails with an Eastern rail mill to go to tained, and in lines. notably bllets. wire rods, plates and bars, further advances are to be reported In many lines the country's pro- duction seems to be heavily sold ahead and the utmost confidence is expressed as to pres creased. In other metals, too, sympathetic rise is to be discerned.
 
 advantage of by foreign buyers. Wheat closes the week with quotations well up to the high est paid this autumn and short sellers of be- cember delivery are reaping the benefit of in- discreet speculation The strength of wheat has been enhanced by sympathy with the growing speculative interest in corn, for which the highest price paid for three years past has been recorded. Speculation in copper and cop per stocks has received impetus this week from of combination to control the American production.
 Strength and flrmness Is feature also of the lumber market, with the possible exception of yellow pine. where keen competition tends to check the advancing tendency shown by other woods. In other lines of general trade and in- dustry reports are as rule favorable.
