New York. Dec. 19.-BradSEeets tomor-
row will say: Retail and holiday busi-
ness holds the center of the stage, while
wholesale trade and industry tend to
quiet down. Jobbing trade, affected by
backward demand at retail. is slacken-
ing. Reports from Texas flooded sections
are a shade better, and lower Mississippi
Valley retail trade is good after favor
able spell Of weather which has allowed
OF the sugar and rice campaiRs being
practically ended. Fall planted wheat
has, as expected, entered the winter sea-
son with a close to best-on-record con-
dition and an unparalleled area sown.
The weeks price movement is, on the
whole, downward. Cotton has broken 1-2
cent after the slight upward advance OF
last week on the government crop esti-
mate.
in the cotton goods trade there Is
rather less activity reported. but the L?
cent break in raw cotton this week. while
dlstasteful to Southern producers, has
been pleasing to mill men.
TN financial markets the weeks events
have been rather on the favorable side.
Money is easier on call, but sitter on
time, pending account In other lines
there are evidences OF more life. Mems
woolenwear opened for next season at
low prices and attracted good orders.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Commercial and Industrial Branches Both Dis
play More Than Seasonable Quietness-Li-
tie Actipity Reported from Any Line.

New York, Dec 19.-R. G. Dunn &
Co.'S review tomorrow will say:
with the approach Of the annual in
ventory period general slowing down
of business is to be expected, yet more
than seasonabIe quietness now prevails,
botb in commercial and industrial chan
nels In wholesale lines, buyers of dry
goods continue in a waiting attitude re-
qordinr forward operations, the influence
az lower prices for raw cotton having re-
strJctsd future trading in finished pro-
.ducts The market for wool reflects an
irregular demand. with manufacturers
showing no disposition to purchase in ex-
cess OF immediate requirements. In New
the retail movement OF footwear
has Improyed and jobbing trade is fair.
h,It some factories are shutting down for
stocl taking purposes. The undertone OF
Ieotber remains firm and there are no
aco,inulations of stock in any quarter.
.AItbough the running schedule of steel
mills IL likely to be reduced before the
vear ends, producers seem to be more
confident as TO the outlook.
.srhe final government estimates OF
agricultural results this year indicate that
a vast amount of new wealth has been
created by the soil, notwithstanding the
Iecline in the yield OF some crops: higher
nrices more than offset the loss in pro-
duction. so that the purchasing power of
the farming community is really
strensthened. or particular interest in
the financial situation was the fall in
british consols to the lowest point In al
most a century, the decline being attrib-
uted mainly to the new security issues
launched in London"

Paris is regarded as the weak point.
1t is said the financial world does not

short interest is very large and l believe
the bears will begin to cover on any
further advance. After the first OF the

We will see money accumulate in ffnan-

Lewis Johnson & Colt is manifest
that important speculative interests have

generally happens in such cases that the
leading stocks which have been held up
artificially, fall all the harder later on.

THE INCOMING TIDE IN
THE BOND MARKET
CcOpyrisht. 1915. by c. NJ. Keys. New York;

Copyright, 1915. by C. NJ. Keys. New York;
In a week of almost entire stagna-
tion, when all the New York securi-
ties markets were painfully dull and
nobody seemed to be either buying or
selling anything, three issues OF stan
darI high-grade bonds were brought
out by New York houses and really
sold to the public on a few days no.
tice. One issue was for S10,O00.OOO OF
per cent railroad bonds, another for
100000 of per cent municipals and
another for $11 100000 of AZ per cent
guaranteed railroad bonds. All three
issues were successful to a degree.
Such a group of incidents, coming at
a time when markets are dragging, in
vestors seem timid, and capital sits
stolidly upon its bags OF money walt
ing for something to turn up, indicate
that hope is not altogether dead in the
investment market They also indicate
that II sterling securities Of the type
in which. conservative men put con-
fidence are offered at prices good
enough to interest these conservative
buyers they will buy. no matter what
the surrounding circumstances may be.
These bonds were not sold on the ex-
change or in any established and or
sanized market. Instead, they were
sold by subscription, by trading over
the counters, and by the work of sell
ing organizations who went out look
ing for money Of an idle kind and
found II.
These incidents do not stand alone to
Indicate that there Is plenty Of money
available for the investment market. In
fact, every one in touch with the in
vestrnent market knows that there is Y
very much larger proportion than usual
OF investment money that is :waitinS
some new impulse to start II moving
again through its old channels Bust
ness men. trustees, institutions and other
large investors have either kept large
amounts OF money in cash or have put
