CHICAGO, December 29.-The Liver
pool advance and light receipts were a
steadylng influence to very quiet
wheat market to-day, May closing I'M
changed from yesterday. Corn closed
a shade lower and oats unchanged. At
the close provisions were practically
unchanged from yesterday.
Animated by a desire to emulate the
Liverpool market, which exhibited some
strength and with light receipts as a
support, wheat at the opening so far
shook Off the holiday drowsiness as to
show shade gain, May at 693s @691ac
Having established a pathway &c in
width, the market proceeded to keep
within that range, occasionally stop
ping to catch few minutes sleep. The
close was steady and unchanged from
yesterday, May at $3.50. The foreign
demand was fiat and the local but lit
tie better, and this from scalpers who
took fractional profits. New York re-
ported twelve loads taken for export.
Seaboard clearances were equal in
wheat and -four to 4S1 900 bushels.
Primary receipts were 450,800 bushels.
compared with 753, 400 last year. Min

against 410 last week and 423 a year
ago. Local receipts were 119 cars, 20
of contract grade. Corn was steady,
but notable principally for its dullness
Receipts were light, clearances liberal
and country offerings small. Elevator
people sold sparingly, their offerings
being readily taken by shorts and the
bull crowd as we'll as by shippers,
something of an outside demand hav
ing developed about the middle of the
session. Local receipts were 287 cars.
Atlantic port exports for the day were
904, 900 bushels. May ranged from 32A C
to 327s @39c, closing a shade under yes
terday at 32asc.
Oats were very quiet within range
of only Lice for May. Shorts bought
a little but offerings were small. Local
receipts were 127 cars. May closed I'M
changed from yesterday at 235s 023%c.
Provisions were dull, but not as much
SO as the grain markets. The tone was
steady owing to light receipts of hogs
and firm prices at the yards. Initial
figures were the best for the day, but
the early gain was lost on moderate
selling by longs. The bull crowd was
apathtic and generally trade was in the
way Of evening up in order to begin
the new year afresh. The range was
narrow. May pork sold from s10.421s
to s10.55, closing unchanged at s1047h;
May lard from $3.50 to $685. closing
unchanged at $5.821a, and May ribs
from $5,521a to S5.5712, the close show
ing shade gain over yesterday at
$685..
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 65 cars; corn, 200 cars; oats,

extraordinary year OF their history.
Long established branches have under
gone a veritable reconstruction, vastly
increasing their capacity, while new in
dustries which scarcely existed year
or two ago have enlisted vast capital,
altered modes of business and of pro-
duction in almost every direction and
improved conditions for the future al
most beyond calculation. Electrical
developments in light, heat and power,
in making cataract work. performing
wonders in production OF materials,
and providing transportation all over
the land. deserve especial attention.
For such reconstruction, the increase
in demand for iron and steel products
is the great feature of the year. With
415,733 tons unsold and 243,516 pro-
duced weekly January LIST, hindered
by severe weather so that the output
March 1st dropped to $4,000 tons, but
expanding in every month afterward.
the industry is now producing about
300, 1000 tons weekly and unsold stocks
are reduced to f22,923 tons, and yet
the orders untitled will require six to
nine months work from most of the
establishments. Prices have not
changed the past week, though de-
mand for some products improved a
little. The average of prices closes
1855 per cent. higher than January list
for pig iron and 1928 per cent. higher
for products.
Industries which depend on individ-
ual consumption have gained less,
though more than population. Con-
sumption OF cotton has been larger
than ever, with an average advance
Of $50 per cent. in prices of goods,
though cotton was for a time 80 per
cent. and is now 20 per cent. higher
than January LIST. Wool has been
raised by speculation SIS per cent, but
has been very largely consumed with
great demand for goods, which have
advanced but II per cent. Stocks now
held are said to be 7,39S,S79 pounds.
Of boots and shoes, the East has ship
ped 100000 cases, or 8 per cent. more
than last year and 2712 per cent. more
than in 1892, but prices have advanced
only about II per cent. since January
LIST. In all these products trade shows
continuing strong demand, although
quiet in the holiday week.
Failures for the week have been III

year, and Is in Canada against p last
year.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, December pr. 6.
Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade
will say in to-morrow's issue:
No correct report of failures in 1899
can be made until the year has closed.
A collapse of speculation in copper
stocks has swelled the aggregate at
Boston alone over s18,000,000 within a
few days, and might yet add to the
record. The failures thus far reported
are fewer in number than ia any year
since 1888 and smaller in amount of
/ commercial liabilities than in any year
since 1881. The aggregate of defaulted
liabilities is 1920, 10000, but nearly
two-thirds of the banking liabilities
/ were added within q few days, the ag-
gregate reaching about $30,900,000
The commercial liabilities have been
about $50, 100000, though exact returns
for few recent failures are not yet
obtainable. No other years except
1881, with defaulted liabilities of SSH
155, 1892, and 1880, with s65, 752, 600, have
failures been as small since the agency
commenced quarterly returns in 1875.
The average of liabilities per failure
is less than $500, the smallest in any
year OF the twenty-five, a gratifying
evidence that commercial liabilities are
further removed than usual from the
point of danger.
The week has been exciting only at
Boston, where the failures growing cut
of speculation and the efforts 70 re-
establish banks and firms suspended
have not given the week a holiday
character. Yet general business is
thoroughly safe and prosperous, and
no important firms have failed, save
some which were individually connect
ed with concerns involved in specula-
ton.
The speculative troubles came be-
cause the volume of legitimate bust
ness and unprecedented distribution of
profits, interest and dividends, made It
no longer possible to carry some
stocks on borrowed money. Prosperity
itself placed check on speculative
ventures.
Wheat and cotton speculation has
taken holiday. prices scarcely vary
/ ing, and the movement of both is sur
prisingly small. Atlantic exports Of
wheat, -four included, have in four
weeks been only S,27S,61S bushels.
against 19.S74.5s7 last year, and Pacific
exports 3,315,271 against 1856. S0S.
The corn exports continue about as
large as last year, but cotton exports
this month have been less than half
last years, with some decrease in TAX
ings of spinners. Accumulated stocks
in mills and markets, both here and
abroad, are so large that there is no
hoc 70

The Daily Papers Coming Out Just
as Usual.
PITTSBURG, Pa, December 20
The printers strike in Pittsburg has
not affected the seven daily papers. All
are issued on time and in just as good
shape as before the strike. The ster-
eotypers refuse to go out when ordered
to by the international Typographical
Union. The circular Of President Don
nelly, of the I. T. u. declaring all the
machinists 100000 in number) to be
''rats" has enlisted that body in favor
of the publishers and their circular let
ter under the seal of their organization
is being distributed among the other
labor organizations. The public recog-
nize that this is struggle between Ia
Dor organizations, and denounce the
printers for violation OF con-
tract. Every paper affected by the
strike is in good shape. Typographical
Union No. Z, the local organization,
having had no voice in the ordering Of
the strike, seems to be awaiting orders
from International headquarters at In
dianapolis. Meanwhile their positions
are being rapidly filled. The Allied
Printing Trades and Glassworkers'
union have refused TO countenance the
strike. The boycott efforts of the print
ers have fallen fiat. both in the circu-
lation and advertising DEPARTMENTS.
