BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-Bradstreets to-mor-
row Will say: The continued strength of
staple values accumulated by further advances
this week in iron and steel and other metals.
in cotton at the South and in lumber at some
Western points, has undoubtedly added to the
confidence with which the outlook for the en-
suing year is regarded. That this confidence
has a fair basis in fact Will be gathered
from the reports received from the iron and
cotton trades, the firmness in cotton goods be-
ing of considerable interest in view of the
depression ruling throughout the larger part Of
last year. Good trade advices from abroad a
reduced movement at the South and a tendency
to pare down estimates reflected in the
slight gain in raw cotton values this week
The advance shown, however. hardly reflects
the urgency noted in the demand for the bet
ter grades of cotton, which this year are
scarcer than usual, owing to bad weather dur
ing the picking season. The iron trade situa-
tion remains. for some time past feature
of absorbing interest. Large as the produce
ton of pigiron is eager buyers are found APP
parently for every ton offered. Most furnaces
are reported booked ahead on orders and some
advances are frankly stated to be due to the
desire Of the makers to discourage orders in

NEW YORK, Jan 2o.-Bradstreets Financial
Review tomorrow will say In the early part
OF the week there was a marked decrease in
the activity OF speculation Transactions at
the stock exchange fell off to ZOO 600 or 500 900
shares day, and evidence Of heavy realizing
sales was seen in some parts of the share
list In the face of this the standard stocks
continued their advance and high price
records were made in the grangers and other
dividend payers. AS the case in the pre-
ceding week this movement partly as
cribed to leading interests in the market, but
whatever Its origin, it had the effect OF check
Ing any wholesale liquidation and of attract
Ing fresh outside purchases of stocks. London
was seller and contributed to the hating tone
OF the general market. At the same time the
istlc marks of bullish excitement and as the
week wore on, renewed strength of a decided
quality displayed !tself in various parts of the
district. The iron stocks were higher and more
active on the favorable accounts given of the
condition of the steel and iron industries, while
the street at large was duly impressed by the
phenomenally favorable character of the for
eign trade statement for the month of Decem-
Der and the calendar year, 1898. issued by the
Treasury Department. The continuance of the
advance in the granger stocks aided in keep
ing up the bulish tendencies of the average
speculator and in adding new recruits to the
portion of the public which is taking part in
the market Another powerful influence of a
favorable kind was the easing of the foreign
money markets. both London and the CONT
mental cities showing decided lower interest
rates. Consequently, when the Bank of Eng
land discount rate was reduced u per cent
to 3l3 per cent, and the open market figures
fell to per cent or less, accompanied by re-
newed buying of American stocks for foreign
account there was an immediate response Oh
this side. The volume of transactions here
again ran on Thursday to over 900 600 shares
for the day and there an advance in all
parts of the list fresh high levels being
touched, not only by the standard stocks. but
the Pacific group and specialties of various
kinds.

CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Steadiness and the pre-
dictions of cold weather made good start in
wheat. May opened a shade higher at 705sc
and there was very little for sale; 1t touched
70&c in few minutes. That was the turning
point, however as longs began to nquidate
freely, while there plenty for sale for the
short account, and May got down to 7OAc be-
fore the first hours trading had elapsed. The
change in sentiment due to the bearsh

tinent this week, thus inauguratng her export
business for the season. That had depress-
ing effect, but the bears were unwilling to ex-
pose themselves to heavy risks on the short side
in face of so much insstence upon the state
from the stock market were feeling very friend
~ toward wheat. Atlantic port cearances
amounted in wheat and flour to nearly a mil
lion bushels. This had a stimulating effect
and May recovered to 70kG70Ssc. 1t touched
705sc and closed with buyers at 70I5@70Hc
Corn started strong under the false impress
sion that the damp weather would cause

lanche of long and short corn tumbled
into the pit. During the last hour the prod

The conditions. of last week still prevail. Ho-
tells and housekeepers find difficulty in getting
their immediate requirements satisfied: such
is the scarcity of fuel suited to domestic nur
poses. This can be verified on the water front
where teamsters are seen battling for their
loads this week; furthermore no immediate re-
countered by vessels at points of shipment
Fortunately the cessation of stormy weather
has seriously lessened consumption during the
week. Prices remain unchanged for all house
Goals, but for steam uses quotations are com
mencing to slacken, as there is a growing
port, the present outlook Is certainly most
encouraging for California to have largo
surplus of grain for export. OF course II is NOT
absolutely assured until II is sacked as we are
yet subject to injurious weather conditions
