NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were exceedingly quiet to- day. There was no pronounced buying any- where, but a cheerful tone pervaded all quar- ters, induced by the reduction of the German Bank rate from 7 to 6 per cent and the officlal announcement that General Buller had seized Potgleters Drift on the Tugela. A rise in con- sols of % point was sympathetic of the gen- eral feeling. Americans were assisted here by a rumor that a large Dutch operator who had been an active buyer in mines and Americans had closed his commitments and turned bull, pre- sumably on information from Boer sources. w York sales somewhat spolled the effect of this, but Baltimore and Ohio securitles and Loulsville and Nashville remained in demand. The Paris market was firm in tone. The Bank of England bought £65000 in German coin and another £100,000 was ‘‘ear-marked’ The Indian council again raised the rate on telegraph transfers, | but there is no demand yet in India for bul- Hon. Money remained easy at yesterday's rates, but bills were hard. Forelgn exchange rates were quoted as follows: Parls, 22.22; Berlin, 24.49%. CLOSING.

There was a mani- fest lack of buylng power, and commission houses are relatively idle, the general tone of the market being Indifferent and somewhat re- eembling what might be looked for in midsum- mer. Prices, however, held well for a time, al- though the operations of the room traders were confined to a few speciaities and revolved largely around the question of dividends to be declared last Tuesday on Louisville and Nash- viile and Federal Steel, though the market took view of the trunk line deals and fon of the Big Four and Lake Erle and Western by the Vanderbilts. Tha relief of the money market from the strain of prepara- tions for the January disbursements and the large amount of money unlocked at that time, of which a considerable portion is presumably coming back into Wall street for investment, eeem to have fatled to produce the expected ef- Tect upon quotations. Money on call ruled easy, a 5 per cent rate being generally quoted, while bankers' balances declined on Friday to ‘as low as 3%@4 per cent. Time money Is, however, firmly held at 6 per cent, though some lenders #how & disposition to relax their attitude to the extent of putting out funds at the rate for sixty days, while borrowers are indifferent and inclined to wait for easier rates. The fall in the foreign money market, discount in London being down o 4 per cent, and the reduction of the Bank of England and Bank of France min- imum figures to 5 and 4 per cent, respectively, had @ good effect, excepting in New York, showing 2 tendency to decline, which negatived the earlier assumption that some further amounts of gold would be shipped. -— s Bradstreet’s on Trade. NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Quietness as to demand, but marked steadiness as to prices, is still the leading feature in trade lines, a condition, it might be remarked, not uncommon at this stage of the year, which is a sort of middle ground between stock-taking and inventory time and the actual opening of the spring sea- son. a few h ;:rk MI‘ mhlch - les, such as cts, which are firmly on a rather tardy recognition of the fact that supplies both of live and it o, e e 0 B Mo cottonseed ofl and similar products are sym- pathetically strong. Raw and refined sugars ve both been avanced this week, Dot ap- parently because of the war between the re- fners being gettled, but really because sup- plies of raw are limited. Quite a flurry in coffee occurred as a result of reports of an outbreak of the plague in Kio de Janeiro. The bearish pressure in cotton has not been re- laxed thie week, but the dispruportion between the decline in spots and options would seem o point to the bear campaign having been less profitable than hoped for. What few lines of next season’s woolen goods have been reported are at advances ranging from 25 to 35 per cent, and much interest at- taches to the reception that will be given these increased quotations. Pending the settlement of this, raw wool is dull but firm, and specu- lation is naturally light. - “Iron and steel are extremely quiet, but signs of weakness are not numerous, the shading in Digiron being confined to a few grades and markets. Production in December was below expectations, being affected by holiday shut- downs, but there is little doubt that the aggre- gate production for 1899 will not be much be- low 13,700,000 tons, a_production surpassing all previous records, and having a counterpart in the unexampled’ output of coke also reported for last year. Stocks of ore on Lake Erle are reported little in excess of a year ago, notwith- standing the greatest production on record. The quiet in pigiron extends practically to all the finished branches of the trade, and hard- ware s also quiet but none the less firm, as evidenced by the reports of further advances by Western jobbers. Tin {s speculatively higher this week, but copper has segged Off. The limited demand for lumber is naturally light, but the length of supplies is notable, as evidenced by the fact that white pine stocks are 22 per cent smaller than a year ago. The mild weather and lack of snow in the Northwest if long continued is thought ltkely to effect the cut this winter. The large vellow pine order for 10,000,000 feet for the Pan-Ameri- can Exposition at Buffalo, erroneously printed 10,000,000,000 feet last week, is still unplaced. Cereals have been almost hopelessly dull this weel on the “hand to mouth’’ demand. Stocks are large and crop reports are in the main fa- vorable, but short sellers are nervous in view of the 'possible forelgn complications. Price changes, not only In wheat but in corn and other grains, are the smallest noted for many weeks past. Hides are dull at the East, but consjderable buying is reported West and quo- tations are fairly firm. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,248,926 bushels, against 2.509,- 682 bushels last week, 5,647,081 bushels in the corresponding week of 1899, '5,204,517 bushels in 189, 3,048,154 bushels in 1897 and 3,202,124 bush- els ‘in" 159, Since Jnly 1 this season the exports of wheat aggregate 110,742,505 bushels, against 134,036,048 bushels last year and 17642010 bushels in -98. The current week's failure returns reflect the annual clearing out of delinquent traders in a total for the weel of 205, as compared with 29 last week, 304 In this week a_vear ago, 322 in 1898, 478 in 1897 and 412 in 15%. P N B e MR AR Dun’s Review of Trade. —— ad NEW YORK, Jan. 12—R. G. Dun & Co. Weekly Review of Trade will say {n to-mor- row's fssue: The business of the new year begins well, though there i still much of the usual hesita- tion. In branches where last year's business ‘was extraordinary and prices have risen great- ly some pause is natural, though nothing in- dicates decrease of consuming disposition or purchasing power, but there is a continuing rise In wages to promote increase. Monetary conditions have grown easler with the return of $4,000,000 from the interfor during the week and further deposits by the treasury and more liquidation in some speculative stocks has also helped. Banks report an increase in their per cent of commercial loans and rates were gen- erally more easy after the decline announced by European banks. The furnaces in blast January 1 were pro- ducing weekly 204,186 tons of pig fron, against 296,359 December 1, but as several had stopped only for the holidays and others had started the optput now is probably larger than at either date, It exceeds consumption at least, as the Iron Age shows an increase of 9258 to in unsold stocks, but the manufactures ap- parently consumed during the year 13,131.626 tons, less small net exports in December. The increase since 1892 is about 4,225,000 tons, or 46.5 per cent. Prices change scarcely any, nor is new business significant. The minor metals are strong in tone, but as yet without much change in prices. Textile manufacturers are more fully em- ployed than for a long time, though scarcity of water has troubled some cotton mills. Trad- ing is embarrassed by uncertainty about prices. Wool is not active, nor are speculators or manufacturers in haste to buy at present prices, though the goods market shows some advances for the mext season with excellent trade thus far. The effect upon the season's sales cannot vet be judged. Cotton goods have been quiet and no longer advance in prices as the market for the material is uncertain in tone. The boot and shoe manufacturers have a similar_difficulty, for while shipments are heavier than ever before at this season, in two weeks 179,376 cases, against 145,174 last year, and 171,751 In 1898, as the rapid dis- tribution to consumers causes most urgent calls for goods previously ordered, yet dealers are slow to order more in the fear that prices will not hold. Manufacturers insist that still turther advances are needed to cover the cost of leather. The Chicago market for hides is Weaker, with a lower average than at any time since November 1. Cotton moves so slowly that bellef in a very short crop is constantly strengthened, but for- Slgn demands are much reduced also. On January 6 only 6,000,031 bales had come into sight against §,001.918 last year, but exports had decreased 1,725,000 bales and European stocks were far below last year. For the pres- ent foreigners are using up old stocks instead of buying more and the price hesitates. Wheat has been slow to move also, Atlantic exports In two weeks having been only 4,376,- 514 bushels, flour included, against 9,452,106 last Vear, and Pacific Coast exports 1,312,933, ‘against 524,051 last year. The prices close a fraction ler. B fires for the week have been 274 in the United States, against 31 last year, and 25 in Conada, against 24 last year. ——e New York Grain and Produce. -2 NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—FLOUR—Receipts, 11,642 bbls; exports, 4585 bbls.

At one time a little buying by ‘was caused by stories of a somewhat better cash demand and an improved inquiry for export flour. But this did not last. The volume of business was small and the session not active. Corn was firm. The main consideration on the buying side were the small country offer- ings and the poor weather for movement, with the strength of provisions a contributary fac- tor. The volume of trade was not large. May closed a shade over yesterday. The cats market was firm. Cash bids were sharp, relatively 3c better than last week. May closed unchanged from yesterday.
