CHECKING UP
General Halt in Business Due t,
StOck-Taking-AG Good Year.

New York, Jan. 4.-Bradstreet's says:
Satisfaction with the old and confidence in
the new years are the dominant features of
cial situation. The week has naturally been
quiet to the verge of dulness, as regards
new business, the main attention being con-
business, in stock taking and in preparations
for the future.
conspicuous exception to the general
quietness is found in the iron and steel situa-
ton, which gains rather than loses activity.
supplies, OF coke at ovens are piling up, but
the blast furnaces are shutting down be-
cause OF the necessary link between the two,
an abundance of cars not being forthcoming
Mesaba iron ore has been advanced in price
The only appearance of weakness in finished
products is in wire and nails, which are 81
per ton lower, owing to increased cOmpeti-
ton of outside makers. y
Floods in some mining regions have inter-
fered with production of coal, particularly BIZ
luminous Anthracite supplies are smaller,
Notwithstanding a total production last year
in excess of SO, 900 900 TONS a total - per cent
larger than ever before.
Prices show few changes. The cereals are
on the whole higher, due mainly to the
strength of wheat, which still supports the
coarser grains
Cotton has been shaded little because Of
large receipts, which are however, claimed
to really represent good buying for export
Cotton goods are quiet, but closed the year
goods, though less active, are in good shape
Wool is steady, and good movement is re-
ported.
Quietness is the feature in the leather and
kindred trades, but an access rather than a
loss IN strength of prices is looked for. Shoe
shipments are smaller than of late, but still!
in excess Of year ago.
Copper has been again cut this time to 12c
for lake, and tin Is also lower, while lead is
unchanged. Brass has been lowered to meet
the decline in copper.
Wheat, including -four exports for the week
aggregate 4,S1S471 blu, as against 1921 543 last
week and 3,914301 in this week last year.
Wheat exports July to date aggregate 140,-
746,561 bu, as against 96866, $40 last season
Corn exports aggregate 270,2S6 blu, as against
424. 1856 last week and 4,47O,521 last year July
to date corn exports are 20,S20,751 blu, as
against 97.64S, 1865 last season.
Business failures in the United States for
the week number 27O, against PIG last

New York, Jan A few Of the Coalers
were affected by realizing, but the general
trend OF prices was upward. Amalgamated
copper rose Us on the report of the dis.
solution OF an injunction against payment
OF daVldends by subsidiary company. United
States Steel stocks were taken in blocks of
from l,O0O to 5000 shares and rose a fraction
each. Room traders took .immediate profits
in Amalgamated and it sagged below 10. This
setback had but little effect on the mar
ket except IN the low-priced Coalers, which
worked lower. Baltimore & Ohio fell off 1s
and General Electric IA. Active bidding for
the American Locomotive stocks lifted them
~ each and American Car and Pressed Steel
Car also We're wanted at a point higher. AT
IL o'clock the market was steadyin2 owing to
the increasing interest in various W-priced
stocks: Distilling rose point, and the pre-
ferred IA. ~r sa.
New York Central and Rock Island made a
show Of strength before the appearance of
the bank statement, and Tennessee Coal,
Mating and Mexican Central rose. These
gains ran from l to 1 II. The bank statement
was disappointment, and selling to realize
wiped out most of the gains and carried
weak stocks below last night: Missouri Pa
cifc, st. Paul, Denver & Rio Grande, Chicago,
Transit, General Electric, Colorado Fuel, Lo-
There were few slight rallies, but the mar
ker generally was active and easy.

SPECULATIVE GOSSIP

wheat again: Local bulls have been best
buyers of both wheat and corn since the OPEN
ing. Market hold very firm
Broomhall cabled: THE opening in Liv-
erpool this morning was quiet and 1sd lower.
Later in the session steadier tone developed
on the forecast of small shipments to Liver
pool during the past week and an improve
ment in the demand for flour. Corn, at the
opening, was unchanged to sd higher, and
during the morning advanced I'd owing to
the bad condition of recent arrivals of Danu-
bian corn. Covering by shorts was also a
factor"
