TRADE REVIEW.
The Situation Viewed by Two
Leading Commercial
Agencies.

New York, Jan. 6.-Bradstreets says:
"The business world has marked time"
this week pending the results of annual
tock-takings and the passing away of the
holiday influences which usually make for
quietness at this period. Aside from the
strengthening of values of a number OF
staples, such as the cereals, provisions
and cotton, which are SpeculatiVely dealt
in, there has been no decided movement
forward, but, on the other hand, the
strength of all other staple values point to
there having been no backward steps
taken. Perhaps the most notable move
ment among leading staples is that deVel-
oped in hoss and hog products, better
realization apparently being had of the
features making for strength in those
reduction in the supply of hogs, which,
like the similar falling off in the number
of cattle, has gone on for number of years
past. That the advance in hog prod
ucts is beginning to attract more attention
seems evident from the extent to which
this advance has had sympathetic refiec-
ton in the prices of wheat and other
cereals, which really trace some of the
strength which has been shown this week
to that source. While>stocks of wheat have
fallen off in Europe and shipments
thereto in December were the lightest re-
corded for many years past, still stocks
have increased in this country to nearly
as great an extent. In iron and steel quiet
strength has, as for many weeks past,
been the notable feature. rather more
aggressive feeling is noted at Chicago,
where wire and nails have been consider
| ably advanced, and bar steel, angles and
/ channels have also moved upward. With
| the country's production sold ahead as
heavily it is there is naturally little or
no immediate new business Offering"
r. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review
| of trade, say: Failures in 1899 were 1888
| in number, with liabilities of $123, 1872 679.
The last days of the year added a few to
| the number and some millions to the known
| liabilities of firms and banks which
| failed close to the end, so that commercial
defaults reached $90,S79,S $50, of which $780,
| 1872, 1874 were in manufacturing, $48,924,771 IN
| trading, and 11,162,954 in brokerage, pro-
! noting and other commercial liabilities.
Most people in business nave been so
occupied with the accounts and the settle
| ments of the past year that little new bust
| ness has yet been done. No new tendency
! in manufacture or in trading appears, and
| less change than was anticipated in money
| markets. There is nothing unsound in
| the business of the great industries,
| but an extensive revision of prices may dis
| appoint expectations.
Wheat still moves very sluggishly, with
small change in prices. In six months of

SORTIE UNSUCCESSFUL.
British Soldiers Undertake to Storm
BOer BreastwOrk But Are
Driven Back.

London, Jan. Ga Mafeking dis
patch just received, but dated Deem
Der 26, confirms the report of the Brit
ish sortie from that place, which was
first announced from Pretoria, De-
cember 80. The Mafeking dispatch
says:
There was sortie to-day with the view
of capturing the Boer earthworks, but il
was unsuccessful. The works were crowd
ed with Beers awaiting the assault, and
hail of bullets forced the British to re-
tire, killing and wounding number"
The British storming party mum
bered so men, of whom 81 were killed
and 33 wounded.
Berlin, Jan. 6.-The seizure of the
Bundesrath remains the dominant topic
OF the German press. Influential papers
like the Berliner Tageblatt, Cologne
Volks Zeitung, Berliner Neuste Mach
richten, Hamburger Correspondent and
the semiofficial Berliner Post strongly
hint at the possibility of Germany s
forming an anti-British coalition with
Russia and France. The anti-British
feeling is clearly growing. A series of
anti-British demonstrations in the va
rious cities is being organized by the
Pan-Germanic league. A prominent Of
fetal of the German foreign office said
that Great Britain had not yet answered
Germany's request for an explanation
of the seizure, but that the reply was
expected in the course of few days
The foreign office, according to this Of
fetal, has not yet concluded that Great
Britain is trying to ride rough-shod over
GERMANY
