Holiday Trade Has Been Given a
Decided Impetus.
Comparisons Win Preceding Years Being
Uniformly Favorable.
Prices Generally Continue Steady
and Firm, Those Staples Which
Have Declined Being Offset by
Advances in az Many Others.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-"Bradstreet's
Tomorrow will say:
General trade in wholesale and manu-
featuring lines is .quieting down, but
it is worth noting. It is undisturbed
by the money situation, the influences
Of which has been confined to specula-
tive circles. Holiday trade, on the other
hand, has been given a decided inn
petus, and comparisons with the same
period of preceding years are uniform
~ favorable, little doubt remaining that
although retail trade in seasonable lines
has been affected in some localities by
unfavorable weather, holiday special
ties have enjoyed exceptional activity.
As regards prices it is a. notable fact
that as many staples have advanced
this week as there have declined, while
by far the larger number of quotations
have remained steady or firm. The
strength Of textiles is still most no.
table feature Of the general situation.
Cotton goods are heavily sold ahead by
agents, and a very large spring business
has already been booked. Raw cotton
Is hrm and unchanged on the week.
partly owing to the light receipts and
TO reafHrmatiOn of short crop esti-
mated by the Department of Agricult-
ure.
Manufactured goods, where not adj
vanced, are firmly held. Wool is less
active than Of late, but prices are not
less firm, and some finer grades are
quoted higher. The London market
has closed at an advance over the last
sale. and talk of higher prices with
the first OF the year, is common Wooden
goods share the strength of the raw
materials, and silks and it's products
are also firmly held.
Corn. among the cereals, has display
ed specially strong tone, owing to
small receipts and depleted stocks Pro-
visions have weakened after the re-
cent advance, but lard and pork are
still higher than last week, and hogs
receipts are rather smaller than ex-
pected. Wheat has been steady, partly
on foreign reports Of cold weather,
partly because of intimations of inter-
national disturbances and because of
expectations Of bullish Government

production point to a net gain in stock,
and source of strength is the claim
