CONSTRUCTIVE TRADE
FACTORS ARE NOTED
Better Sales Totals and Reopening
of Small Plants Cited
by Reviews.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 2s.-The
weekly mercantile reviews said that
trade developments of the week, though
lacking tn elements for q pronounced
stimulation Of business sentiment, were
nevertheless largely constructive.
While trade movements remain con-
servative," said Duns, encouragement
has been provided by the better sales
totals recorded at some of the chief
centers of distribution and the reopen
ing in increasing numbers of small
manufacturing companies In various
sections Of the country. with reports
Of recession in activity becoming fewer
each week
The hesitation caused by the dis
order in world trade and the disturb
ance IN currency relationships have
tended to obscure the more favorable
earnings reports emanating from many
industries for the final half Of last
year"

dence that 1888 offers sound oppor-

IN LIGHT TRADING.
Market Apparently Not N.
Auenced by Selling Of

DY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 2s.-The week
On the Stock Exchange closed with
prices slightly lower, but no pressure
and light trading. In view Of al the
circumstances. the action Of the mar
ket could not be regarded as other than
reassuring.
Publication in the morning news

ofncial forecast that the dividend on

naturally brought some selling into
that stock. The price reacted close to
500 share, which was . new low on
this movement. but still almost 10
points above the bear market low Of
last Summer.
Pressure on Steel
Steel common was OF only frac-
tionally and that on small volume.
Then there was continued weakness in
the tobacco stocks, on selling from the
same sources that had depressed those
shares in recent sessions. American
Tobacco B dropped under so and the
other active stocks IN that group were
correspondingly low. In the first hour
the railroad stocks were heavy and
American Telephone. Detroit Edison.
together with two or three other special
issues, were reactionary.
The significant point however. was
that the selling in these stocks had no
unsettling effect on the list as a whole.
The general market ignored this scat
tered weakness, again demonstrating
how completely 1t was hardened to un-
favorable news. Before the close prices
had firmed, particularly in the rail-
way list, and the averages at the end
showed no important change.
Special buying came into Delaware
q Hudson, which crossed so, five points
up from the low made the day the
above yesterdays close. The weekly
car loading statement showed a de-
crease Of 98S8 cars from the previous
week and 65,667 cars from the same
week a year ago. This showing had
no ehect on prices nor was there any
attention paid to the Senate proposal
to prohibit further loans from the Re-
construction Finance Corporation to the
railroads without the consent Of Con-
gress.
Earnings Statements
More impression was made by ad-
dltional earning statements which. as
Tar as net was concerned. made q favcr-
able comparison with the previous year.
The most striking Of these was New
York Central, which last December
earned $2,13849 net against 1854 O65
in December, 1881.
Among the stocks to which good sup
port was accorded were General Rail-
way Signal. South Puerto Rico Sugar,
Air Reduction and United Fruit These
were unable to make progress, but they
did not give way.
The report of the General Cigar Co.
for 1882 came out. 1t showed 1851
for the common against $5.0l in the
preceding year. S. S. Kresge reported
net equal to 81 a share on the COM
mon, against $1.69 in 1881.
Sterling Exchange opened strong 1T
$3.50 3-l6, up l 5-l6. but lost . part
Of the advance before the close. Re-
oeipt Of s2.15o.00O gold from Holland
and $4,000 from France was an
nounced.
