Y., Dec. 3.—Speculationat the Stock Exchange continued quiet. Asa rule Higher prices prevailed, and the undertone of the market was firm from start to finish. London advices were favorable, and at the start the for- eigner bought moderate amountsof the interna- national issues. The firmness of the market was due purtially to rumors that strong interests were quietly picking up stock preparatory to starting a oull campaigu early next year. The recent buy- : ing of the high-priced investment issues and the grangers were credited to this interest. The easy condition of the money market, and the be- 1tef that siiil lower ra:es wiil obtain after the Jan- vary disbursements hive been completed, tend to make recruits for the bu Js. The declaration of & dividend of 1 per cent on Southern Railway preferred had a good effect. The improvement in the usually active lis. was confined to narrow limits, say 4@l per cent.

With an utter disregard of our action shown by Liverpool and with some in- crease in the Northwestern arrivals (449 cars arrived, sgainst 554 last Friday and 936 a year | ago), this market found it impossible to sustain | prices attalned yesterday. At the siart the trad- ing was at figures but slightly aove the “put” pricé, and it was only a few moments until those privileges were passed on the decline. Chicago | received 40 cars ana inspected out 174,562 busheis. The weakness continued throughout. the lowest point being reached before the close. Closing | Liverpool cables gave a net 1oss of 14@%ad for the day. Paris was higher and Berlin and Antwerp lower. The last half hour witnessed some panicky selling opened from 8814@% ing ar 807@S1c, mated receipts for to-morrow, 37 cars spor wheat ranged irom 90@92c, v 90c. CORN—Declined in price through the sympathy existing between it aud wheat. ‘The loss was not 50 great as in the leading market, but 1t was ac- compsanied by quite as much weakness. Recelpts were 265 cers, and 112,076 bushels were taken from store. Exports were liberal at 440593 bushels. May corn opened from 263c to 201/.‘0, declined to 2814@2614c, closing at the inside—1/4 @3jgcunder yesterday. Estimated receipts for to- morrow 340 cars. |~ OATS—The depression of the other grains found | reflection inoats. The trade was of a dull and uninteresting sort and prices were lower. Re- | ceipts were 222 cars, and 6000 bushels were taken { from siore. Exports were 78.878 bushels. May | oats closed 14@3/gc lower.

PROVISION Hogs were on the descending scale as regards prices this morning. That had its natural effect on product,which also deciined. The weakness of grain was likewise a consideration. At the close January pork was 12155 lower; Janu- ary lard and ribs each 734c lower. BUTTER—Remained ~ firm to-day. Offerings showed no increase, and buyers found difficaity in supplying their wants.

Dun & Co. will say to-morrow in their weekly review of trade: The classified failures for November glyen to-day show & gratirylog reduction compared with Oc- Exports were liberal at 401,564 bushels. | and almost an entire lack of demand. May wheat | 234, declined 1o 807c, clos- tober, and this is especially important in showing that the peculiar disturbance during the Presi- dential campalgn, which swelled failures $36,- 000.000 in August and September, did not prevent quick return to a monthly aggregate scarcely greater than of May. Defaulted liabilities for eleven months bave been $198,838,459, against $148,544,402 last year, the increase being only $14,000.000 outside of those two months, and this remaining increase of only 10 per cent was also in part due to the alarm during the cam:aign. The decline of failures to about 40 per cent of the Sep- tember aggregate gives strong-r ground for the confidence so generally expressed. Ground for confidence is also found in the aban- donment of two of the largest combiaations by which the iron industry has been retarded and the possibliity that two others will be abandoned. Such a state of things within a month after the election suggests that these organizations formed when depressed business failed to support all the works in existence and not expected to survive a Z-neral revival and ample demand for products. The immeciate effect of breaking prices is to check buying of iron and steel products, but 1t will 500n develop about where prices are to range. At present the base price for wire nails is 81 25, ageinst $2 55 two weeks ago, with greater reduc- tion on small sizes because new caras reduced “extra’’ charges. Beams are seiling at $1 35, against $1 65 two weeks ago, and there are sales of billets below the fixed price The bar combination is still uodersold by steel bars at L1c, and nothing is doing in rails because the meeting shortly to be Dbeld will setile whether any prices shall be fixed for the next year. Bessemer pig at Pittsburg is lower at $11 65 and gray foree at $10, but there is alarge demand ¢ T vessel plates, boh in foreign contracts and for the lukes. Several thousand cars have been ordered and numerous new buildings and bridges. Minor metals are a shade stronger. The coke combination has changed its method so that con- tracts are openly made below prices receiuy ruling and there is some partition of consumers among the producing interests. Anthracite sel below the oflicial circular, but better demand is expected with revival in manufacturing. Wool manufactures are waiting, ana while more con- cerns are at work the new demand improves but littie with favorable weather. In the cotion manutacture there is little change, though goods are seling better, but with many added works pioduction exceeds the demand. The market for raw cotton is weak. With over 4,750,000 baies in sight by December 1, when the crop is usuaily about half in sight, current esti- mates would leave only 3,500,000 more to coms forward in nine months, and the larzer consump- tion in milis does nor advance prices. Other produce markets havebeen weaker. Wheat rose to the close last week, but gradually reacted and broke sharply on Friday, closing 234c lower for the week. The volume of business shown by clearing- house returns was for the past week nearly 1 per cenc cver lust year, and for the month of Novem- ber 5 per cent and 11 per cent less than 1892, the comparison being the best for the past five months. Failures for the week have been 379 in the United S:ates against 324 last year, and in Can- ada 55 agains. 52 last year. BANK CLEARINGS. NEW YORK, N. Y.

This is the smailest weekly impor. recorded for some. lime past and will en- able some of our wholesale dealers to reduce a por- tion of thelr ac.umulated stock. The frosty weather this week has largely increasea the fuel demand, as can be verified by the number of coal- caris visible on our stree:s making deliveries. Business in this line s reported prisk, with a gen- eral improvement of values. There is no change of retall piices, but there isa marked advance in steam crades (o large consumers, with every like- 1ihood of siill better fignres iater on. With outward graio freights at the present low ruling rates we are assured of relatively high inward Coal freights from Australia and England. If the Dingley :arift bill should be accepted as temporary expedlent it will advance the present duty on Coal 8¢ % ton. Cable reports specity a scarcity of tonnage both in the Colonies ana England, hence almost prohtb- itory rates are demanded, but after our August- Septeniber grain-laden vessels arrive at their destisalion Coal freights must ease off. There Is a very limited list of vessels loading at ¥aglish, Weish and Scotch ports for- ~an Krancisco, which signifies very short stocks of British Coals in March and Apnl next. -British Columbia and Washington will be cailed upon a few months hence to keep our fuel Stock 1ntact: their outiook for profit in 1897 is more encouraging than the outgoing year.” Weliingion s quotable at $8: New Wellingto: 88 P ton; Nouthfield Wellington, $7 50 ¥ tor Seaitle, $5 50@6; Bryant, 535 50: Coos Bay, $!
