Bradstreet's Report

New York, Dec. 22.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Holiday trade activity, of course,
reaches its highest development during
the week now drawing to a close, and
it is significant of the prosperous con
dition underlying the general business
situation, that reports almost without
exception, point to a volume of bust
ness having few if any parallels in pre-
vious years.
This favorable condition, too, exists
in the face of the fact that the wealth
er conditions have not altogether fa-
vored retail distribution of winter
goods, the result being less activity in
pursly retail lines than had been looked
for, though comparisons with one year
ago, are generally favorable. Whole
sale trade at this season usually shows
a duieting tendency, but it is question
able whether this tendency is as mark
ed this year as in other periods. To
the advance stage, due to weather con-
ditions chiefly, and perhaps also to the
sentimental effect of stringent money
conditions in speculative lines, may be
charged some of the quietness noted.
AS above intimated, however, this is
less marked than in ordinary years.

national bank there, was the cause Of
widespread uneasiness, and brought
large offerings on the New York mar
ket of the favorite Boston stocks.
Sugar was the most conspicuous ex-
ample, as is shown by it's extreme de-
cline of I points. This stock was I'M
der very heavy pressure all day. on
rumors of continuation of the trade war
as well as on continued selling for Bos-
ton account. Burlington, Federal
| Steel and Atchison preferred were also
sold from Boston. London was a large
seller of stocks here, and the depression
| there exercised a large sentimental in
fluenCe. The rise in the private dis
count rate and fears Of trouble at the
settlement now imminent are causes Of
apprehension.
Some of the favorite international
stocks were acutely depressed from
time to time, notably New York Cen
trail, st. Paul, Missouri Pacific Read
ing first preferred, and d. and r. G.
preferred. The bears were energetic
operators all day, and supplemented
their efforts by the circulation of some
eXtravagant rumors regarding the f.
nancial condition of various houses and
properties. The effect on some of the
trust companies was to induce large
calling of loans as a measure of pre-
caution against any extraordinary de-
mands that might be made upon them
During the last hour the bears were
large buyers to cover short contracts,
and this caused recoveries running all
the way from / to points in the prin
cipal railroads and industrials. AS a
rule, losses were within a range of
three points, except in a few incon-
spicuous stocks which had not moved
previously during the week
A number of stocks, including those
which have suffered most severely dur
ing the week. rose slightly above last
nights level. The rate for money
flurried at one time for per cent, but
ruled for the most part at per cent
or below. Estimates of tomorrow S
bank statement are all at sea, owing
to the extraordinary conditions that
have prevailed The banks gained on
the regular interior movement, but the
extraordinary demand from Boston has
offset that so that the net loss on the
interior movement is about 81, 300, 900 .
On sub-treasury operations, they have
gained about 3,000,0 900. The aggregate
of gold exports which will figure in the
statement, including last Saturday s
shipments is about S3,00O000. This
would indicate a net loss in cash of
about S1,0OO,000. No one ventures an
estimate to the loan changes.
Bonds were weak in sympathy with
stocks, the speculative issues showing
some sharp declines. Total sales, par
value, $2,59O000; United States new As

Copper Shares

The Boston News Bureau, referring
to Wednesdays compilation of copper
share losses from highest prices of 1899
to current prices, applied to outstanding
stock of the various companies, says
that Amalgamated was not included
because it represents for the most part
Anaconda, Parrot, etc, and the shrink
age in Amalgamated is relatively less
than the shrinkage represented by the
amounts of Anaconda and Parrot which
are supposed to be owned by the Anal
amated. Therefore, throwing Anal
gamated entirely out the calculations,
we find that of the total shrinkage of
$4,000, COO in alleged Boston copper
shares, $f7,6S2, 500 of the shrinkage be-
longs to Amalgamated and Standard
Oil copper stocks, and $21, SAC, 600 of the
shrinkage also belongs to the alleged
Standard Oil stocks, as those in which
Standard Oil people are supposed to
have an interest, but not controlling
interest. This leaves $S8 500, 900 as the
shrinkage for so-called Boston copper
stocks from the highest price, of which
$1S,500,000 is in Calumet & Hecla, which
represents only about the dividends
Calumet has paid the last three years
and amounts to nothing, as Calumet
stock is paid for and neither the div
idend MOI the credit of it's stockholders
is IN any way dependent upon the mar
ket price of the shares. The balance
of the shrinkage is distributed widely
over New England, New York, Michigan
and Montana, and is not a large matter
outside of the United States Mining,
where further shrinkage probably has
yet to be met
The shrinkage in Standard Oil cop
pers from the highest price to the low
est is as follows: Anaconda, $45,0O000O;
Arcadian, $8,812,5OO; Arnold, $50 OG2;
Butte, 100000; Utah, $4,000 900; totkl,
ST., 682.500 The following shrinkages
are in copper stocks which have been
claimed as Standard Oil stocks, but
concerning which their controlling own
ership may be disputed: Boston &
Montana, $22, 200, 900; Centennial, s4,140,-
900; Isle Royale, So, 300, 900; total, $21, 64O,-
900; grand total shrinkage Standard Oil
stocks, $99, 322, 500. 1t will be seen that
of a shrinkage of $1SS, 900, 900 in copper
stocks, the eight so-called Standard OIL
stocks represent a shrinkage of more
than one-half, or of nearly 100000, 0O0

Financial Notes

The .LonaQn Chrppiele financial ex-
pert understands that the Bank of Eng
land has made advances against $10,-
100000 gold to arrive from New York.
including Saturdays shipments.
The New York World understands
that negotiations have been opened with
Clark of Montana by the Amalgamated
for the sale IF the United Verde mine
which now yields him 10000, 900 a year,
a copper broker in discussing the sit
uation said: "The British war office has
recently purchased over 1000 tons of
copper, all for immediate delivery, and
will give orders for 500 tons more in
the next few days. This copper, l I'M
derstand, is used largely in the manu-
facture of cartridges and for other pur-
poses connected with the war
The recent decline in copper in the
London market is not, in my opinion,
of any consequence, and is largely in
sympathy with the severe declines in
tin"
The gas war was not settled Thurs
day; whatever conferences may have
been held between the gas interests, no
results We're apparent.
1t is estimated that the shrinkage in
the value of the steel stocks from the
highest prices of the year to the closing
prices of Monday was approximately
SIPS, $4,000. This decline has been grad
ual, however, and began in most of
these stocks last May, at the time when
the banks began discriminating against
industrials as collateral. So far as the
earning capacity of the steel stocks is
concerned official and semi official
statements have been given out which
prove that they all have earned the
dividends on their preferred stocks dur
ing the mast wear have prOfta bla cor-
tracts which will keep them employed
during the greater part of 1900, and can
begin to pay dividends on the common
stocks as soon as the law allows.
Boston & Montana, Tamarack, Osce-
ola and Isle Royale shares. heretofore
registered at the Globe Bank, will be
registered until further notice at the
State Street Trust Co. Osceola dividend
checks drawn on the Globe Bank will be
paid by the Second National Bank.
The United States Oil Co is not af-
fected by the closing of the Globe Ma
tional Bank. The company has been
Withdrawing it's deposits gradually
until at the present time it's balance at
the Globe Bank is relatively small. The
company's dividend money is on de-
post at another bank
The city is talking over United States
Mining and will until some solution
is reached. The matter is now hang
ing fire until the general market clears
up The only plan is now to sell the
mine to the Standard OIL folks, because
they, own the Utah next door. and
would go on developing the United
States at the same time as their own
property.
The gas war in New York is evident
ly ended The Consolidated and the
New Amsterdam companies, the former
Standard Oil property, and the lat
ter controlled by Brady, have been
fighting for months They put the
price of gas to So cents. Yesterday
the city opened bids for gas for some
of the institutions, and by a singular
coincidence, each company made the
same price-92h cents-far above the
rate to the public.

(Howard. Crosby & CO.. Boston Letter }


Boston, Dec. 22.-Liverpool was up Ad.
this morning, which was about equal to
the rally in Chicago yesterday. Consols
were irregular, and there were some new
South African developments. Argentine
shipments for the week at 1928 900 bushels
W re liberal, as compared with only S48 600
bushels the week previous. This makes
the total Argentine shipments since Jan.
LIST exceed 100000 bushels. In New York
the mark t opened higher for May, and
then quickly dropped off, with local houses
selling and the disposition very general
to even up before the holidays.
The Modern Miller says that the move
ment of flour is still restricted, and that
the usual holiday dullness is now in evil
dence. There is apparently nothing doing
for export, and the weather conditions
for the growing crop have been almost
perfect. Northwest receipts today were
All cars against 945 the same day last
year and $50 tbs same day last week.
At the opening of the stock market
there was disposition to offer stocks,
especially industrials, and sugar in par
ticular was ra1ded. All of the industrial
properties showed more or less w akness,
while the railways were irregular but
weak in spots, especially Rock Island, in
which there was considerable LIQUIDATION
On b. tier advices from London q stronger
feeling developed, and foreign houses
bought the International stocks in consid-
cradle quantities.
