The Market Elsewhere

New York, Dec. 15.-The strength
manifested in face of the engagements
of gold for export by tomorrows
steamers, was the feature of the stock
market today There was considerable
hesitation and some reaction in the
earlv dealings on the recurrence of
fears over the effects of gold ship
ments. The fact that apprehension
over this development was still appar-
ent this morning made the strong adj
vance in prices in the face of the news
OF the gold exports, all the more strik-
ing. The sterling exchange rate today
not only failed to recover, but declined
an additional fraction to 4.8715 for de-
mand
Tie shipment of gold at this level
for exchange, demonstrates that some
considerable advantage is offered by
the Bank Of England as an inducement
for the shipment.
1t is known, in fact, that the Eng
lish institution allows interest to the
Shippers for the period of the transit
1t has also advanced the buying price
of gold both for American eagles and
for bar gold. For the former the
price has been advanced one penny an
ounce in two days. The transaction
may therefore be regarded in a certain
|
was for this reason that the local stock
market took small amount of the be-
ginning of the export movement, is a
subject for surmise.
The reported engagement of 81 100
900 in gold for export, caused no stiff
fleming of the local money rate which
ruled at from to per cent all day.
The incidents of the day which
served to offset the gold exports were
several
In the first place, was the conviction
that tomorrow's bank statement would
make strong showing. The weeks
losses to the sub-treasury, which foot
4,739000, have been so far offset by
the receipts of currency from the in
terror and of gold from Canada, that
the banks net losses in cash are fig-
ured at less than s1.5G9, 600 Tomor-
rows gold shipments of course do not
figure. The weeks extensive liquida-
ton in the stock market, with it's con-
sequent reduction in loans is certain to
have more than offset this compare
lively slight decrease in cash. A rise
in the surplus reserves of the banks is
therefore believed to be well assured.
The arrival from Cuba of a United
States transport, brings an additional
sum to the available supply Of specie
of $1,250,O00 assigned to a trust COM
pdny, ana over 100000 Of post Office
funds.
The absence of disturbance in the To-
cal money market by the Withdrawals
of gold, arouses hope that the opera
ton may prove beneficial to the flnan-
cial world at large in sufficient degree
to Offset any local Inconvenience. A
favorable effect was produced on the
stock market here by the buoyant tone
in Boston, arguing satisfactory set

Substantial gains in prices through

A late advance of 1895 in the price
in Pittsburg, c.. C. and st. Louis was
feature of the day. Price changes

soon to be made. President John Lam
bert emphatically denies the report of
a new stock issue. 1--WE have" said
he, purchased some property in Ne
Vile island, but it will be paid for in
cash, and no stocks and bonds will be
issued, either for use or for any prop
erty to be acquired by the American
Steel and Wire Company"
1t is most encouraging to Wall street
that there have been no failures during
these trying times. This fact in itself
shows the great strength of financial
interests.
An important meeting of the reor-
ganization committee Of the K. C. P.
& G. R. R. Co. and its terminal compa-
MES was held this week. The reorgani-
cation of the entire system. including
the terminal companies, is assured
with the consent and cooperation of
practically all of the security holders
of the various companies.
The statement respecting an S. o. loan
on Montana is doubted by many f1nan-
cial people who declare that there was
a sale of at least 10000 shares of Mon

1t is stated officially that the United
States Oil Company's treasury is intact,
and on deposit at the bank.
The crisis has been met and passed,
and the market from now out is likely
to assume a more natural character.
The London stock exchange was in

Financial Notes

An Atchison director says: IT cannot
understand this drive on Atchison 1t
cannot be explained with any sound ar

relatively as good as those of October,
which attracted such favorable atten-

as during October and that the high
water mark is still being reached. 1t

DUN & co. ON WAGES
and PRODUCTIONS.

New York, Dec. 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
Unusual depression in stocks this
week has displayed the great diver
gence between the trading and the pro-
ductive industries Of the country, and
its speculation. Never has production
been greater, the number Of hands en-
ployed larger, the wages distributed
higher, or the purchasing power based
upon earnings, than at this time, and
never have conditions of trade or re-
turns of earnings and traffic given
certainty of greater business for trans
porters Yet as the earnings of the
railway and manufacturing companies
mount upward, their stocks decline, as
if it were disastrous for a road to
double its earnings, and ruinous for
mill to realize unprecedented profits
The result is that while industries and
transporting companies realize great
profits, the speculative holders of their
stocks realize severe losses.
Iron production still expands The
apparent consumption, 1,273,550 tons in

November, is no little less than in Oc-
tober, and the output at the end of the
month was obviously lsrser, while con-
sumption seems from the course of
prices to be decreasing.
The approach of the holidays makes
all welcome a season of quiet. The
movement Of wheat is disappointing,
but prices have declined on % cents,
with corn fraction higher. Atlantic
exports of wheat, flour included, have
been in two weeks only 1928, 269 bush
els, against 11,129.459 last year, and Pa
cific exports of 1901, 1872 bushels, against
1,29S,514 last year.
Exports of breadstuffs in November
decreased $780, 900, which, with losses
of $500, 900 in provisions and $13,000,000
in cotton, lowered the value of staple
exports $15,337, 567 in spite of an in
crease of 100000 in oil But enor-
nous shipments of manufactured prod
ucts made the excess of exports over
imports more than SAG, 100000 for the
month.
Failures for the week were 218 in
the United States, against 261 last year
and 26 in Canada, against 81 last year.

qIoward, Crosby & CO.. Boston Letter )
Some anxiety is expressed about the
bank statement tomorrow, the Impress
ION being general that the loss by the
banks to the sub-treasury will hardly
be offset by the liquidation in loans, but
a good deal Of gold has come from Can
ada and the anticipation Of January in
terests will add over three millions to
the New York supply, so that state
ment may be more favorable than is an
ticipated. In New York, money on call
ruled chiefly at to per cent and good
support was Forthcoming from the bet
ter class of traders; Flower brokers and
the Connor interests were the most con-
spicuous purchasers, with Standard Oil
brokers moderate sellers. Commission
business was dun and the leading
houses showed little inclination to en-
courage purchases. 1t is not probable
that any pronounced upward movement
will be inaugurated at once, but IL is
the conservative opinion of banks.
bankers and large interests, who take a
broad view Of the situation, that the
crisis has been met and passed and
that the market from now out should
assume more natural character.

CHRISTMAS TRADE UNUSUALLY
ACTIVE, SAYS BRADSTREET'S

New York, Dec. 5.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
General trade in wholesale and manu-
featuring lines is quoting down, but it
is worth noting, is undisturbed by the
money situation, the influences of which
have been confined to speculative cir
cles. Holiday trade, on the other hand,
has been given a decided impetus, and
comparisons with the same period of
preceding years are uniformly favor
able, little doubt remaining that, al
though retail trade in seasonable lines
has been somewhat affected in some
localities by unfavorable weather,
holiday specialties have enjoyed ex-
ceptional activity. AS regards prices,
it is notable fact that as many staples
have advanced this week as there de-
clined. while by far the larger number
of quotations have remained steady or
firm.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-12-16

The strength of textiles is still most
notable feature of the general situa-
ton. Cotton goods are heavily sold
ahead by agents, and a very large
spring business has already been
booked. Raw cotton is firm and I'M
changed on the week, partly owing to
light receipts and to reaffirmation of a
short crop estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture
Manufactured goods, where not adj
vanced, are firmly held.
Wool Is less active than of late, but
prices are no less firm and some finer
grades are quotably 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 material and it's products are
also firmly held
