The New York circular of Henry Clews says:
Foreign exchange rules very firm and condi-
tfons favor renewal of gold exports. Europe
has been returning our securities more freely

not been for the approach of large remittances
for January dividend and interest payments
The exchange situation is further complicated
which Will ind market abroad; also by the ma
nipulations of some Of the principal drawers of

still involved in uncertainty, with prospects of
larger shipments later op. Much of the gold
recently sent has gone to Paris the extraordi-

easy rates should again prevail. The undertone
of business steadily improves, though the volume
is not just now increasing. December is usually
a period of quiet, especially in mercantile cir

now rapidly drawing TO a close and is in most
pleasing contrast to the situation II months ago.

already been made on the road to recovery, and
dence and moderation are still supremey neces-
sary in financial well industrial and com
mercial operations. The lessons Of the panic are
still vivid in recollection"

Poultry and Game

Receipts of dressed turkeys were increased to
IS cases yesterday, and as poor and thin birds
predominated in the arrivals and only a few
spectators were purchasing in large quantities
the market remained weak at the previously
quoted prices. Fine large gobblers were wanted
and occasionally sold up to 24c pound in a
small way, while something exceptionally fine
that wanted for a special purpose may have
done a little better. In the live chicken line
broilers, fryers, large hens and young ROSTERS
continued TO move off readily at good figures,
while small hens and old roosters remained dull
and weak. Game in free supply and rather
weak than otherwise

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-Hutton's wire says
The local market opened steady, to points
down. Trading was fairly large. For the time
being rather look for traders market, until
the end of the month at least.
Indifferent cables induced bears to renew the
pressure the market. and a certain amount of
scattered liquidation resulted. The selling also
received some impetus from the fact that the
national ginners raised their estimate from the
amount ginned from December l to December
II from 200. 900 TO $50. 600 bales Prices reached
new low levels for ali options except October
but moderate investment demand appeared on
the decline and prices rallied TO about the open
