R. G. Dun & Co IS Review says:
Textile markets are quiet, although
reports of the jobbing trade are most
favorable. except at some Southern
points Cotton mills are busy, as a
rule, but uncertainty, as to the future
of the raw material tends to unsettled
prices. Specialties have been put on
the market with fair amount of sue
cess. Heavy goods for China are in
better inquiry, although the views of
sellers are still above prices offered.
Home buying of fine wooden goods are
heavy. Wooden mills are working over
time and have much business in sight.
More linens opened at slightly lower
figures than year ago, which was
natural in view of the difference in cost
ofssraw material. Raw wool is strength
ened by the higher prices secured at
the London sale.
Hesitation is general in the markets
for staple products There is no longer
the reckless buoyancy so conspicuous
a short time ago Disaster to one
prominent operator had calming in
fluence, and in the case OF corn the
insignificant exports cannot we'll be
ignored Foreign buying of wheat,
-four included, is much more favora
BILE, better prices prevailing than year
ago. Meats have weakened, especially
lard, and dairy products are also less
| Inflated. Raw sugar stiffened, owing
to restricted arrivals, which are nat
ural, since Cuban holders await favora
BILE tariff arrangements and bounty dis
cussion affects conditions in Europe.
Cotton is not receiving the support an
ticipated, reports Of exhausted stocks
on plantations heing refuted by undi-
minished receipts.
Bradstreet's says: "More is doing
than usual at this time in iron and
steel, and the mills never had so many
advance orders booked. Bar iron is s.
higher at Chicago, and all Other
finished products are active and strong.
A feature there is the sale of 80, 00(
tons of malleable iron, for delivery in
the second half of 1902, at full prices.
In other metals irregularity is still 9
feature, weakness being manifested il
copper, which fails to develop consump
tive demand, though quotations for il
have again declined, and sheet copper
has likewise been reduced.

shipped from Montana last year places
the number at 100000 The British
call for mounts for South Africa has
resulted in thousands of head of stock

fewer horses in this State than ever
before. Indeed there are no large

of horses to Montana from the south
there is certain to be a horse famine
in this State next year.

EARTHQUAKE ON FRIDAY.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. a. Two dis
tinct shocks of earthquake were felt in
st. Louis and in many adjoining towns
few minutes before o'clock this
morning. The first shock was light,
and the second more severe. Persons
who had slept through the first shock
were awakened by the second. The
shocks were accompanied by rumbling
sound.
Reports received show that the
! shocks were generally felt throughout
this city and the suburbs, being of
sufficient force to rattle the crockery
and swing pictures in residences.
At Clifton Heights, west of the city,
| the shocks were very severe, and resi-
dents ran into their yards, fearing
their houses would be shaken down.
The shocks were felt distinctly in
East ST. Louis, Granite City and
Venice, Ill. In the latter town build
ings shook and windows ratified so
violently that residents believed an
explosion had occurred in the neighbor-
hood.
