BRADsTREET's TRADE REVIEW
Currents Run Along Irregular Lines,
IL u Reported.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Bradstreets
Journal will say tomorrow:
Trade currents run along irregular lines.
On the one hand retail trade has been
helped by two factors. holiday buying and
cold weather, but in the larger lines the
immediate situation is quiet rejecting
preinventory Cond lions, plus seasonal
slowing down in industrial pursuits. At
the same time optimism as to the future
is more in evidence, thanks to lower rates
for money, Improvement in financial mar
kets and the rendering OF a decision in
the eastern railway freight rate case.
Inc dentally. buying Of finished steel
as well as of cotton goods for future de-
livery, has expanded somewhat, quota
tons being sufficiently attractive to in
duce business Bank clearings for the
week aggregate 81, S97. G62, coo, a decrease o!
l2.3 per cent from this week last year
Business failures for the week were 466
against 37S in the corresponding week last
year.
Wheat exports from the United States
and Canada were 9.70T, 1873 bushels against
b,st4,lO In the same week last year.

CATTLE-Receiptso OF cattle were very
moderate this morning. only 800 head be-
ing reported In. Still for the week re-
ceipts foot up "a, tS4 head, being much
larger than any recent week, ana larger
than n year ago by almost 5000 head.
Owing TO the light receipts today and
the fair demand. practically everything
in sight changed hands at an early hour,
prices being steady with yesterday.
Beef steers for the week are not far
from N.00 lower, taking the market as o
whole, at the very least they are 76nSl.0O
lower than the best time last week. Cows
and heifers have declined around 75c;
some kinds showing moro and some less:
yesterday afternoon for Etockers and feed
ers, a good many OF the surplus cattle OF
that description were cleaned up 50 that
the market was really little higher than
the day before. Still prices on the gem
eral run OF stockers and feeders Is
around 6Gl60c lower than last week.
