TRADE REPORT.

says
Trade was quiet in all lines, interest
being concentrated largely in stock
taking and contemplation of 1900 re-
suits. Cold weather has proved OF
slight stimulant to retail trade in win
ter goods, but stocks in retailers
and provisions advanced last week.
while stocks have declined, but the up
ward movement has been one Of those
familiar of late, short selling with
small fluctuations and a limited de-
sire to take profits. Railway earnings
hold up well for the season and the
greatest dividend payments on record
were reflected in the largest days bank
clearings ever reported in New York.
Failures show the usual large increase
of small disasters feature of the turn
of the year, but the results for 1900 as
a whole, is discouraging. Cotton is
rather quiet and unchanged on the
week, while cotton goods are without
much movement except to slightly
weaker quotations for gray cloths at
Boston Fall River mills have paid IA
per cent for 1900 and an average of 6.5
per cent for eleven years past
Wool is dull and rather easy. Out
side of the United States, however the
situation is strong one, as indicated
by the firm Melbourne and London
quotations. Manufacturers will only
buy against orders and except in plain
dress woolens nothing special is doing
All branches of the leather and kind
red trades are in apparently cheerful
mood.
Lumber is rather quiet, but it Is to
be noted that white pine stocks are
slightly smaller than last year. War
is reported to be broken out in rubber
goods and quotations have certainly
been cut. Sugar prices are also lower,
while coffee (roasted) has been advan-
ced, which is charged to readjustmens
The feature of the week in iron and
steel has been the largest sale of steel
rails reported from Chicago, $4,000
tons being reported sold in one lot.
This spirit of activity contrasts strong.
ly with the quiet reported in nearly all
finished lines and also in raw pig.
Structural material makers have
been getting good orders and bridge
makers are looking for a heavy bust
ness This month may witness the set
tlement Of the vexed ore question, and
also some establishments of wages to
lower costs. Bessemer makers have re-
duced wages Is per cent. Export trade
is still quiet and il is notable that for
the first time in years exports of manu-
featured goods in November were small
Ter than the year before.
What looked for a while to be a real
bull movement in wheat developed at
the close of last week. Realizing by
the bulls lost most of the advance.
Corn arrivals are of a still notably
poor grade and quotations are higher
! in sympathy with wheat and on large
export movement.
Wheat (including flour) shipments
for the week aggregate 3,914,301 bush
els, against 1868 165 last week; $780,
681 in the corresponding week of 1900;
$3.50, 268 in 1899; 8,481 ,576 in 1898 and

this season, wheat exports are 1906

Washington, Jan. 3.-Following, at an
interval of one day, close upon his an
nouncement that the Chinese emperor had
decreed the acceptance of the Pekin agree
nent, Minister Conger cabled the state de-
partment under date of Pekin that the
next step had been taken and that the min
ister had been notified formally, not only
that the agreement was accepted by the
Chinese government, but that the govern
ment felt able to guarantee performance
OF the conditions imposed. 1t was appre-
hended that there would be much difficulty
i'll settling the important subject Of in
IDENTITIES and the realnngement of the
commercial treaties between China and the
powers, which is provided for only in gen
eral terms in the agreement, is expected to
present equal difficulties in the arrange
ment of details.
1t is absolutely essential to harmonious
relations in the future that there shall be
no discrimination in the making OF these
treaties Ii by covert arrangement one
power is to obtain commercial advantage
over the others the result will be the cause
of dissa abstraction. Therefore, it is within
the bounds of probability that the outcome
of the negotiations under this subhead of
the agreement, touching commercial ar
rangements, will be the framing OF some
thing like general convention, which may
be signed collectively or singly by the
powers, but which will insure uniform
treatment to tall.
The Chinese governments guaranty of
its ability to perform the acts called for
by the agreement is now expected to be
followed by the prompt arrest and punish
ment of the Boxer leaders and sympathiz-
ers who were named in the decree OF last
September as follows: Prince Chwan,
Prince Yih, Secondary Princes Tsai Lien
and Tsai Wing, Prince Tuan, Duke Tsai
Lam, the president of the censorate; Wing
Men, assistant grand secretary OF the civil
board, and Chao.

Lord Roberts VIII send an Immense
Army to Africa-TaIc "a New start
Rapid Military Operntions-Gen-
erol French ActiNe-Agnin Out
mnneuvered and Defeated DeInrey

New York, Jan. l0.-A dispatch from
London says
Earl Roberts has been closely occupied
at the war office, and it is believed that
achievements will be ordered ON il large
scale for the moral effect in convincing
Kruger and the Beers in the field that re-
sistance is futile and that Lord Kitchener's
ovcrtures should be accepted.
The rdpidity with which the details of
the favorable military operations at Mag
aleshurg are received eXcites the suspic-
ion that affairs are not going equally well
IN other quarters. whence no authentic
news can be obtained.
General French's cavalry division has
again outmaneuvered and defeated DE.
larey, and possibly has driven his force
from the Nitwatersand district, although
this Is not quite clear from the dispatches.
The mountain strongholds are less i'm
portant to the Beers than formerly, since
they are making little use of artillery. and
are depending almost entirely on their
rifles and horses General French appar-
emily has the body of mounted men re-
qulsite for the hot pursuit of Delarey's
burghers, but they will probably divide
and break up into small bands.
From knoX's headquarters there is less
information than from Magaliesbug. and
the fears of military men that something
has gone wrong are not dispeled. The
scene OF operations against Dewet is,
however, at 4 distance from the railway,
and communications are slow
Defensive operations against the raid
ers who are roaming at will in the Dutch
districts of Cape Colony are conducted ON
Il large scale, but no active measures for
following or heading off invaders are re-
ported.
