NEW YORK, Jan. Ar. G.. Dun G Co. g
Weekly Review Of Trade tomorrow will say:
In spite of the interruptions of the holidays
and of the unusually heavy annual settle
opens with indications of further progress.
There is no lack of contracts offered at
steady prices i'm the country's leading in
Gustries and in some departments of cotton
goods there is a better movement, though
speculation has depressed the price of the
raw, material; otherwise a decline in whe IT
pies. 1t Is explained by a reduction in the
-four output at Minneapolis, some mills
shutting down. while the Foreign demand
at Atlantic seaboard cities is rot brisk.
The ordinary measures OF business con-
tinue TO make gratifying. exhibits. No
alienation has yet occurred in quotations
of iron and steel products and this industry
Is on such firm foundation that most
the old scale. instead of making the reduc-
tions anticipated. Iron ore prices are also
unchanged and no action is now expected
looked for early i'm January. Coke Is firmly
held at Connelsville and there arc fewer
idle ovens, while the much discussed fall
In prices appears confined to inferior quail
ties at outside furnaces.
Weeks News IL Encouraging.
Pig iron sells freely for delivery up 10
April and there Is no indication of weak
ness, All finished products are eagerly
sought, many large contracts having been
placed for structural material and Others
are under consideration, An American
bridge at sydney harbot, Australia. The
purchase of 100 acres near Pittsburg by u
leading steel company indicates great en-
largement of its plant. Aside from one re-
duction of wages at blast furnaces in the
Mahoning and Shenango valleys. the week s
news Is most encouraging In this, the great
est of American industries.
The market for textiles has been feature
less, as the holidays and stock taking re-
duced business to limited dimensions.
Wool has again declined, making the aver
age of 500 quotations. 1928 cents, according;
to Coates Bros circular. Sales al the three
chief eastern markets amounted to only
1921 900 pounds for the week and there l.
much uneasiness over the statements of
large stocks at the end of the year, while
recent failures have not tended to improve
the tone. Cotton goods have not the same
difficulties to contend with, but at abnor-
mally high price for raw material acts as
"a check on this industry.
Local jobbing and retail trade Is brisk In
boots and shoes and many manufacturers
are behind with orders, yet uneven distri-
button of business has left some shops ready
to make concessions Shipments from Bos-
Ton for the week were S2,4i3 cases, against
81 ,G65 n year ago. Sole leather is purchased
freely. but less activity in uppers tends &c
weaken prices. Exports Of sole from this
city were heavier in December than In any
previous month last year, but the total foI
1900 fell 306, 1886 sides below 1899. For the firs
time In many weeks there was some recov.
cry In hides at Chicago.
