 Figures dealing with the country's foreign loans and the inflow of gold for the year-the latter item approx imating $70o,ooO,O0O. but faintly con- vey the extent to which the domestic finacia1 structure has been buttressed. Economists differ as to the immediate benefits derivable from these stupend- ous gold holdings but are virtually at one in believing that this vast hoard of precious metal will make the United States financially and industrially su- preme for years after the channels of international trade resume their nor
 nal flow. Opinions dealing with the future of the country's financial mar kets have been revised or modified by i the Teutonic peace proposals. Quoted values of many securities have dwin- died by many millions of dollars in the past few weeks and the process of ad- 1 juStment continues.

 marized by the statement that many contracts for peace products have been placed as far ahead as 1918 while avail able supplies of copper and other base metals for the next six months have been pre-empted.

Many Consent Judgments Recorded in City Court. Unprecedented Activi-

Bessemer. December. 31.--(Special) ) James Whaley, the 14-year-old son of MT. and Mrs L. J Whaley of this city, was run over by a freight train of the Alabama Great Southern rail- road near the road crossing at Pow derly about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon and died an hour later at the hospital from the injuries. It appears that young Whaley, accompanied by sev- era1 other boys, decided to get on the freight train and ride to Birmingham. When they reached Powderly, they de- cided to get off and Whaley jumped but slipped under the car and was run over, both legs being cut off as well as his body being crushed. He was inn mediately rushed to the hospital where he received medical attention, but died in short while. He lived with his parents, at East Bessemer

 Two million tons of pig iron were ex- ported. December sales aggregated 600 : 900 tons.
 In the last few days while business in rolled steel was relatively quiet, car builders and locomotive shops were in the market for about 900 tons of steel plates and bars, and forgings to cover re- cent orders Italy and France have placed additional orders for pig iron and alloy steel, and inquiries are now in the market for S000O0 tons of various other products for export, half of the prospec- tive orders being for France.
 Structural steel work continues uncom- fortably active from the standpoint of the fabricating shops December orders are estimated at 130.00O tons and the total for the year is abou 1,46 900 tons. Con- tracts pending aggregate 100000 tons.

FOCKS AND BONDS SALES FOR YEAR REACHED HIGHEST
 LEVEL IN MARKET HISTORY
Steel and Iron Output Is
 Curtdiled In Last Part of
 Banner Year of the Trade

New York, December s1.--Output of iron aad steel in the last week of the year was cut down sharply; estimates of the curtailment vary widely, but the de- crease for the full month is thought to have been at least from 30 to 40 per cent compared with November. The produc- tion for 1916 however, exceeded all other previous annual achievements, although the output fell short of the great expec- tations entertained a month or two ago.
 Preliminary estimates indicate an out put of 3S,SO0O0O tons of pig iron; 3S,3720OO tons of steel ingots and 29.150,OOO tons of rolled steel products. In 1913, the pre- vious year of maximum record, 0,724, 0O0 tons of pig iron 35, 3OOS74 tons of steel in- gots and 24,791 ,243 tons of rolled products were produced. Sales of all kinds of rolled steel in 1916 are estimated to have been approximately 37,O0O000 tons, of which between 100000 and S.O00,00O tons were sold for direct export

Year End Witnessed UpWard Trend of the Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 31.-Traders had an upward trend in the cotton mar ket here last week, although the mar ket was unsettled and the close was at net gain of 2s to 5s points. At the highest the active months were 104 to 12l points over the preceding weeks close. Late in the week there was considerable selling on the fresh restrictions placed around cotton exports Selling on this feature probably would have gone to greater lengths had not the bulls pointed out that the total foreign export move ment thus far this season amounted to 3, ,11S,72S bales against 2,264. Al a year ago at the same date, at which it was con sidered in view of the small crop raised this season and the large requirements of American mills, meant that exports during the remaining seven months of the season would have to be on much smaller scale than during the first five months, whether much ocean freight room was available or not.
 The first notice day for January brought only a few hundred bales of tenders in this market, and there was no

 real pressure to sell until Thursday when the market broke violently on the with drawal of Liverpool freight rates. In the early part of the week the market rose quickly on it's oversold condition reports of a strong spot situation and the rumor that big bull traders were coming back into the market. The high est prices of the week were reached Thursday morning just before the freight situs tion became the dominating factor.
 This week the market will be free from the restrictions imposed by the holidays. Many brokers look for renewed activity, bullish traders think there will be strong upward movement in values. Bulls believe the strong spot situation and the growing strength of the statisti- cal position will help prices The bears expect fresh declines. Both sides expect further peace developments but each claims that peace talk would favor it's interests.
 Toward the end of the week forecasts of ginning may have some influence, since the period to be considered in the next returns from the census bureau closes with the end of the year.
