THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Bankers Report the Financial Situa- tion About the Sama. GENERAL TRADE IS NOT HEAVY. Butterine Men Accused of Cornering al Change in Dry Goods — Enforcing Weekly Payments. A Summa Bankers report the al situation vir tually unchanged. Deposits are about tionary and collections are only fair. There scems to be a disposition 10 go slow the vear has been a prosperous one to date, and capl tal is content with its carnings. Money is in «ood supply and all legitimate demands are promptly met. neral trade is not heavy, but is fairly satisfactory in view of the very pleasant, and unusually unscason able, weather which ligs prevailed. What the trade, both whole and retail, really wants is a succession of blizzards and a long visitation from Jack Frost; and fall plantinz has been fin ished in good snape, a little real wister would not be unweleomed by any but the wholly improvident. Of this is strictly in a commercial sense, In groceries, sugars are weaker and stronger under speculative maaipulatios, but priccs are not quotably lower., There 18 1o special ch ) note in staple dry goods, The warket is firm for most qualities of catton and woolen goods and the demand is steady.

Whatever the theory may be, the condition is that butter is sc and higher than for years. There hus been o number of failures in the rocery trade the past week, due to a weed- ing out of the weak onés by the cn- forcement of the weekly payment sy tem by the produce commission men, and the general peddling administered by the whole- sale grocers, who deciined to be left on set tlement day'if their energies would cnable them to wet there, ‘The trade feel, however, that the outeome of the effort to compel shorter scttl will be good ana beneficial to all, and termined to persevere in the path m out.

The new beet sugar factory of Claus Spreckels, at Watsonville, Cal., has been in operation for a month. Work'is being conducted day and right, und the result is said to be in ail respects satisfactory. ‘The New York Com- mercial Bullotin says it looks as though the electric sugur refining process would soon be tested again. ‘The machinery has been run- ning for some time to get in working ovder, and u trial will soon be made with sugar, ac: cording to current report. Dried fruits are fairly active. Fine grades of raising of all vamctics are scarce and wanted, while the poorer qualities are abundant and dulicult of sale. President Clarice, of the Thomas iron com- pany, says that his company has booked an order for 45,000 tons of stecl rails for the Peunsylvania railvoad company. He says: There is no money in this—not a but then we are like the coons; we have o inake enough fat in the prosperous tines to pro- vide for such occusions as the present. Plenty of furnaces are idle, but there is neither money nor glory in Blowing them in le trade 18 as cheerless and as unprofit able as at present. I don't expeet to steel raily sell ubove $40 for a very long while to come.” Anexchange says that flour-mill building in the south continues ut a rapid rate. Du ing the first nine months of 1553 there wer built or started in that tion 114 mills of various sorts and sizes, agumst U3 in the cor- responding period of 1857, and 71 in 1550, The indications point to a speedy advance of prices for cavpets as a result of an almost, if not quite, consun 1 agreement be- tween the manufacturers to compel an ad- vancing from e to 5 per yara on super in- grains und brussels, Salés of wool in Boston since January 1 100t up 146,044,054 1bs, against 93,360,672 1bs for the sumno time last year. This is an in- crease of 47,083,383 1bs. Medium ‘and fine wools still continue in very good demund and are practicaily held out'of the market as regards selling to man- ufacturers. o Henry Clews'is of the opinion that unless there are free oxports of wheat or other pro. ducts very soon “we will not unlikely ship 10,000,000 or &15,000,000 of gold.” Exports from Mexico to the United States show a steady increa As stated by the New York Commercial Bulletin it is only a few years siuce this countr one-half the foreign shipments of the south- ern republic. In 1836-7 _the proportion roso 10 56 por cent and in 18878 the Unitod Sta was the purchaser of 63 per cent of all that Mexico had to sell, while England took only 21 per cent of her exports; France, 9 per cent; Gel per cent, and all’ other countries, 2 per cent. Apart from the ex- ports of the precious metals the United Btates took last year 75 per cent of Mexico's surplus production, "The recent decision of the supreme court of the United States, declaring unconstitu- tional the “‘drummer’s tax"’ statute of Texas, has called attention to the fact that @ sinilur statute is on the books of a number of stutes and ries, In Deleware, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, Carolina, Virginia, Montanu and New Mexico local laws inijose i Lax upou comuer- clal travelers similar to thut ruled upon in the Texas decision.

The market, as a whole, was about teady, but good beeves would have brought strong prices. A good many cows were on sale, and the common kinds sold easier.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Feeling in Wheat and a Sharp Decline. Bearish { CORN VALUES ABOUT THE SAME. Share in the General Down Tendency ~Cattle Slow and Unsatisfactory -Hogs Were Lower Than Yesterday. Provisions CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Crieaco, Dee. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tuk Bee.|—The wheat market was dull and narrow most of the time to-day, though the surface speculative sentiment was rather bearishly inclined, and towards the last the bearish feeling was decidedly in the ascend- an harp decline resulting. It being the first day of the month trading did not begin until 10:30, und thirty minutes afterward the New York exchauge shut up shop for the day. The local deliveries of wheat were large, amounting to about 1,250,000 bushels. This was started on the rounds by Hutchin- son, and most of the property was stopped by Counselman and Lyon, though Baker and two or three others got a little. It was gen- erally believed that the wheat found its way back to Hutchinson, in pursuance of the policy declared by the old gentieman several months ago, that no matter how he might stand on the market spaculatively, he would not let go his grip on cash wheat until next spring. May wheat opencd this morning at 811087, with December quoted at $1.041 and January at $1.06. May was bulled up to $1.11% and then declined to $1.10%. It ral- lied 0 $1.107¢, sold off to §1.10, recovered to $1.10¢, remained for quite awhile around £1.1045, and then snortly before 1 o'clock broke oft to §LOVI A halt of several minutes was made at 8L09Y;, but the market very soon yiclded under the pressure of the offerings of Ken- nett & Place, and the price slipped off to $LODL @091, closing weak at $1.001{. The decline was nearly all made during the last forty minutes of the trading session. On the early break, December sold down to $1.03{ und up to #1.0: On the last break it went to $1.023{, and closed on the bottom. Reactions in Jenuary were trifling, and the decline extended from 106 to $1.04'g, the latter being the closing quotation, As com- pared with yesterday, the last prices were jg@l%e lower. The bulls operated with confidence earky, though their wants to-day were only moderate and soon and easily sat- isficd, as the day's history proved. There was no attempt, except nght at the opening, to apply muscle in bulling the market, and and that may have been applied as a counter irritant, obvious effort having been made on the curb and in &ie open board to engineer a weak opening. New York, and in_fact all the other markets wero stronger than Chi- cago. Hutchinson's influence was exerted in the direction of lower prives, und it was vigorously excrted at times. ' Cables were areiy steady, and foreign markets were qouted dull and unchanged, Antwerp alone excepte Advance in wheat at that place is noted. The news from Minne- apolis was not of a character to reassure the bears boyond the fact thata good many of the mills at that point will “take a vacation™ next week. ‘The rail movement in the north west is getting smailer rapidly and farmers deliveries through the spring wheat region have not been lighter intwelve years, good authovity suys, and these small deliveries are commonly believed to mean the practical exbaustion of farmers' reserves. Winter wheat'stocks in first hands are conceded to be small, grain having passed largely into the control of the millers, it is supposed. In- dications point to a larger increuse in the visible supply than last week. Light as re- ceipts have been, shipments from points of accumulation have been relatively lighter, Local stocks may be said to have been placed for winter, except what are to be retained to supply an Interior demand, which may spring up later, though it doos not exist now for obvious reasons. Receipts being close onto 1,000 cars was the principal feature causing weakness at the opening of to-day's oorn market, After the first flurry of weakness, buying by one or two prominent speculators ~ infused more confldence and caused some reaction prices. There were only small deliveries on December contracts, and a good deal of changing to January und May was still in progress, causing a_depression. of the De- cember delivery. Tho demand for fresh re- ceipts by shippers was fairly good, and realized averaged 5@\ c over yester- s closing prices. There was a sympa- thizing weakness toward the close, with the declining wheat market and final prices were alL the lowest of the day. The closing uotations were: December, 351¢c; January, (¢, and May, 38} @38ie. May is un clianged in price from yesterday and De- cember #c lower. The provision trade was again under con- trol of bearish intluenc The opening was quite strong and gen at a little better prices than yesterday's closing, but before business had fairly started the 0ld contingent favoring a break took possession of the pit. The selling of the past few days was not only resumed, but increased materially in volume and vigor, and when ever the market showod a disposition to react it was simply hammered back into a receeding turn. Bears were on top, and having both the moral _and poesonal acsistance of the larger packers, they were in a position to retaid complete trol. It was a bad day for the bulls, and alarge amount of long property was doubt- less thrown overboard bv the pressure Trading, however, was active, and trad commanded more attention than at any time sinca the break commenced. Deliveries on December — contracts were insignificant Bascd on yesterday's final quotations, the decline “actually suffered was 30@i5c on pork, 10@22ige on lard and 15 17gc on short ribs. CHICAGO LIVE STOCK CuicaGo, Dee, 1.—|Special Telogram to .| —Carrie—Trade was slow and ctory from the opening to the close. There was sowme inquiry for big, heavy steers, but such were not on the market, and outsido of that inquiry there was little or nothing doing. There are more 1050 to 1250 1b steers in the pens than were ever seen here before on Jaturday, and such were literally unsal- able; salesmen that hud such stock stood on the market all day without an offer. The bulk of such sold yesterday between $3,00 .75, and to-day there isno demand what- ever, Just how much lower this class is than last week it is dificult to get at, but it is safe to say 80@10c lower than & week ago, and primo natives, also, toward the end of the week, The market is completely broken under the heavy run of cows and common mixed, and it was next o impossible to get offers this mormng, especially on canning stock. The stocker aud fecder trade has ebbed away almost out of sight. There is scarcely suficient business to make quota- tions: not many more than one to two hun- dred head per day has changed hands dur- the week. Range cattle from the northwest are nearly sl in for this year. Ve are getting alargs supply of Texans from the Indian territory and direct from Texas.

London advices were disappointing, but there came a few orders The market was heavily sold, beause the railway oficials in session in Chicago hiad not accomplished more toward adjusting differ ences, but selling had more the appearance of raiding than realized. Northwestern was u protuinent feature of the market, and was pounded down to 1055, while i:ake Shore was also attacked. Cotton Oil declined ma terially under tue selling of long stock. The bank statement was less unfavorable than was expected, The close showed a decline all around, “extending to 1point in North- western and 11, points in Cotton Oil.

Ciieaco, Dee. 1.—(Special T T Bre|—The wock just closing has wit nessed an enlarged demand for moncy from lines of Operators gn change were prepariug o receive property deliverable on December contracts. There was also an increased call from the erain trade at othier points, and especially at Min neapolis aud the wheat markets, where that article is accumulating more rapidly than at any previous time this scason The provision trade here and throughout the west is beginning to make its influcnce felt as an absorbant of funds. There is also an increasing aemand from merchants, many of whom are borrowing funds with which to discount bills bought for their spring trade, while others, who find collections insufficient to meet maturing obligations, are compelled to borrow more freely than at any preceding time since the opening of the autumn scason. County bankers, who find the necessitics of their customers larger than they arc ina position to provide for, are in turn asking their correspondents hiere to extend liberal favors in the shape of re-discounts. The aggregate volume of paper offered throuch the various sourees mentioned is larger than at any preceding time in the month, and rates are more strongly maintained at per cent on call loans, backed by fancy conver tible collaterals, mmu.\,.w; rcent on time paper. Over counter aud o the street 81y @) per cent is paid by interior borrowers, who want tive to six months’ loaus on cattle paper. The feature in the castern financial situa tion was the exportation of F1,000.000 in gold from New York. New York exchunge was in light supply, owing to the fact that little is beiug madc.” The demand is fuir. Rates ruled steady at par to 25¢ premium for 1,000, The warket for forcign exchange extibited no new features. Supplies of bills were light and rates steady at #4.8% 14,5397 for shippers' documentary bills _on London. Trades in stocks ou the New York stock ex change during the past week was active and the aggregate volume of business compured favorably with that of the preceding weck, The weak undertone which has been toti for some time past was more pronounced ut the opening of the past week, and increased during the succeeding days. The feature of trading was the liquidation i Chicago, Rock Island & Pacitic, and the decline of 6 points in prices to the lowest point this year. This was due to a rumor that the next statement, which will appear the lutter part of Decent Der, will be an unfavorable oue. The com as made large extensions in - Kansas, nd Colorado during the past two Many of these extensions have not vet proved ut all profitable, and the im- pression provails that u new issue of bonds or stocks will be made to pay for these new lines: also that a reduction in dividends is liable to be made at the next meeting, The situation of western and_southwestern rail roads remains as uncertain as ever. The sensation of the weelk was the strong efforts made to form a great clearing or “'trust” to govern all roads west and southwest of Chicago. ‘The scheme is to work within the inter-state commerce Jaw, and thereby make its existenco legal. The plan s received with great favor in some circles, as it is the only feasible one which has been presented, that will regulate traffic and rates. Several of the roads, notably the St. Paul, are said to have signified their willingness to sign the agreement. East bound roads have shown an inclination to adjust tneir differences, but have arrived at no definite agreement. Prices on the rest of the list declined on an average of $1.00 per share, and the market closca erratic. The aggregate transactions on the New York exchange for the week were U5 shaves. tn grain markets have exhibited more strength in a gencral way, but prices huve not advanced sufliciently to admit of any demand excepting of corn. Firmer occan freights also have a tendency to check business. Sceds were less active, with prices rather favorable to buyers. Provisions were quite_active, both in the speculative and shipping branches, and and prices have suffered a material reduc- tion. Receipts of live stock were considerably increased, especially of hogs, at all leading western | markets,” and pricés have ruled lower. The packing of the wost, however, exhibits a further decrease, and is now about 450,000 hogs less than réported to date last, season. Considering the fa m - to various business. ot that the week’s busi- ness was interferred with by the holic the aggregate trade may be regarded as qui liberal for this season of the year. During the greatcr portion of the time the feeling was~ weak, aud lower prices i the order of the day. Speculativ interest centered in deferred ~deliveries; May chiefly in grain, and January and May in_provisions, and fiuctuations in_prices wer frequent and within a comparatively narrow range of prices at times, indicating that the bulk of the trading was confined o the local operators or to “room traders.” Receipts of ain were moderate at the principal western markets, and the quantities forwarded east ward were moderately large, especially of corn and oats. The export moyement con- tinues light, and limited almost exclusively tocorn, The supply of wheat is gradually increasing, while the stocks of corn and oats arc diminishing at the The interior suppics are fair, aud witl proved roads and good weather more grain is being received at the smaller stations, In the shipping branch of trade there was con sidorable business transacted in grain, but it was largoly on domestic account und widely distributed. - Dismisscd From the Commons, Loxpox, Dec. 1.—In the commons to iay the speaker ordered Cunningham I, Graham (advanced liberal) to withdraw from the house because he had ncoused Smith, gov- ernment leader, of conniving at u dishonora- ble trick, and had refused to retract the ac cusation. As Graham was leaving the house a member shouted, *“Bravo, Graham." In un interview Graham explained that the trouble uros over the action of Brooke RRob- inson (conservative) in putting a wotion on paper to prevent discussion upon the chain makers' grievances. Graham had charac terized this us a dishonorable trick, and had cxpressed the belicf that the government had instigated Robinson to perform it. He had refused to withdraw bis statement. and hence his dismissal. Graham says he will not apologize, no matter what the result may be. — - Round-House at Lincoln Burned.
