There was a slight decline in the

The decline of the composite index

of the component groups registered
advances and only two declined. The
principal decline and the one largely
responsible for the downward move
ment of the composite index, was In
the foods group; prices of pork and
beef declined sharply, more than off,
setting the rise in the prices of sugar,
-four, potatoes and apples. A con-
tinued decline in the prices of tin
and silver caused a slight decline in
the metals group.
The prices of grains, timothy hay.
lightweight hogs and lambs were
higher for the week, but the prices of
feedstuffs and heavy weight hogs
were lower, with the net result that
the grains. feeds and live stock group
advanced moderately.
The fats and oils group showed
substantial gain as a result of higher
quotations for lard, butter, cottonseed
oil and corn oil.
The textiles group reversed its
downward trend of the past four
weeks and advanced slightly because
of higher prices for cotton and silk;
burlap prices we're slightly lower.

American Machinist.
The last quarter of 1885 was better

Boston distributors say that De-

the next quarter.
The metropolitan district is in
much the same position, according TO
New York distributors.
Philadelphia is as conservative as
ever, but the trade there is confident
of steady and appreciable improve
ment in machinery and machine tool
business The burden of obsolete
equipment in the Pittsburgh district
when coupled with the load of the
new social taxes is sure to force ex-
tensive modernization programs In
Woodworking plants there. Distrib-
utors in that territory look forward
to sales figures in 1886 that may well
be double or triple those OF 1885.
Every indicator in Cleveland points
to better business for 1886 and that
means improvement for the machinery
builders and distributors. Machine
tool and small tool companies in par
ticular expect an excellent first quar-
ter. Prospects for 1886 are excellent
in Detroit. At the moment there is
a slight slowing down in orders, hut
the tool and die plants are beginning
TO get busy and the supply business
is decidedly active. Toledo is more
optimistic than it has baen in a long

the machinery market in this territory
will be active next year. Cincinnati
is optimistic over the po@~ibil.ty Of

fairly sizable reactions.
Take Market Lead.
Most consistent in their bullish &C.
ton were industrials, oils and mining
shares. These were accorded invest
ment support on the influence of gen.
eral strengthening of prices for raw
materials and wider profit ratios in
manufacturing.
The mining shares were responsive
to increased demand and higher
prices for the major non-ferrouS
metals.
Utility equities finished the year
with gains over final levels of last
year, but their progress was limited
by recurrent waves of selling, prompt
ed by legislative action against the
holding companies.
Distillery stocks were less promi-
nent in the trading activities than in
the first year of repeal. They were
subjected to some selling movements
apparently in correction of speculative
positions holding over from their ac-
tive exploitation in 1884.
Shifted to Big Board.
During the year several stocks
which had been on the active list of
the curb were transferred to the Stock
Exchange. In most cases the shift
