NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram say There was a slump in the markets here to- day on the announcement of the abandonment of Spion Kop by General Warren. The reason was not understood, there being no explana- tory word in the disappointing dispatch. About midday there was a slight rally, which, how- ever, was followed by a fresh relapse, and the close was near the worst. In some quar- ters the Spion Kop reverse was Interpreted as the most serious thus far in the campal unless some unexpected explanation shall fi a fall of .

There was an abundance’ of more or less favorable developments, including news that the British force in Natal had obtalned further advan- tages and that the London stock market had on this intelligence shown marked relief from the recent tension to which it was subjected, though the effect of this was negatived by the | unfavorable news which came out on Friday. | There was some buying of our stocks for Lon- don on Thursday, but this failed to rouse the | sluggish spirit of the market. ure of the week has been the continued indis- position of the public to enter upon new specu- | lative ventures and the subsequent absence of | commission-house business of that nature. It | may be noted that the demand for bonds is | guie faig. “In some cases higher figures have been made for favorite issues, and it is alsc noted that the buying power in the bond list has extended to the new and low-priced vari- etics, while, In view of the advanced figures for and small income in yield upon gllt-edge bonds, private investors show a disposition to take in their stead some of the safe dividend- paying stocks. Speculative attention was mainly confined to the traction group of securities, | owing to incldents which eem to point to a combine under one control of the gas_and street rallway facilitles in Greater New York, or at least the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The railrond share list was neglected, in spite_of good earnings by nearly every road which has reported for the first three weeks of January. The Granger stocks were also helped by favorable opinions from the West about the grain crop outlook In the industrial group the reports of possible labor troubles failed to have much effect, and expectations about good dividends on the ‘com- mon shares of the steel companies were again current. All of these incidents, or possible de- velopments, falled, however, to develop any buying power calculated to give the market an appearance of life, and the renewed ease of money seems simply to render holders of stock tenacious as to parting with them at the pres- ent rate of values, The unexpected news on Friday morning that | the British forces in South Africa had lost the position_they captured from the Boers, with the sharp break in consols and all classes of stock at Londen, resulted in declines of a point or iess throughout the active share list at New York. There was, however, no extensive liquid- ation, and forelgners were the chief sellere. At the decline shorts covered, and the market, under somewhat dlscouraging _circumstances, showed an appreciable degree of firmness. - —— 5 Bradstreet's on Trade. YORK, Jan. 26.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Exceptions to the quiet and even dullness shown by the many lines of trade and | nEw | epeculation are found In woolen goods for next fal active call for dry goods on ring account. | In the latter directicn prices show special strength and the bulk of the business placed in woolens has been at an advance of 2 to 40 per cent. In other lines notable steadiness is shown in prices, Weather conditions throughout the country part of the week have been against trade in seasonable goods, and there is very general complaint of large stocks of winter goods in the hands of this branch of trade. Another effect of the unusually mild weather is that saown in the Northwestern lumber business. The lack of snow will probably in- sure a reduction on the cut of last year and this, combined with smaller stocks, points to at least a_maintenance of present lumber quota- tions. Woolen manufacturers have constituted an exception to the general quiet. They opened their order books this week, and an unusually heavy volume of business is re- ported to have been recorded. otton goods are reported In good demand in nearly all markets and the confidence as to spring business in dry goods and clothing s a notable feature, in sharp contrast, in fact, with the reports received from retafiers as to the present season’s business in winter wear 5. Scarcity of water is complained of as limiting_the output of New England cotton mills, which are reported as backward in de- liverfes. The unsatisfactory business at retall 10 boots 04 shoes Js. pedortad n.souwe’exsing eather and hides are actually lower o0 e woek. o Coffee has remsined strong throughout the The real feat- | week, and the same is true of sugars, which are active in jobbing lines. A fractional ad- vance in refined sugars is to be noted and raws retain all their old strength. The egg market has been considerably relieved by large ex- ports of stored sorts. The iron trade is in a very interesting con- dition just at present. Buyers and- sellers are still_apart, uncertainty as to the continuance of present conditions constituting a bar to new business. Steel is reported by large interests as in good demand and some considerable sales of rails and of structural material are re- ported. Some improvement In export demand is also noted, the question of ocean freights being an important one in this connection. Other metals remain fairly steady. The hard- ware business is of satisfactory proportions for this season of the year. The open season is having some effect upon coal prices, which are reported easier at Philadelphia. The cereal markets Lave shown little decided movement this week, stronger cables, based partly on damage to French and Russian crops and partly on report of plague in the Argentine, furnish- ing a slight strengthening force to wheat prices, offsetting further increase in domestic stocks. Corn has remained in good demand on liberal export business and prices remaln steady. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 3,351,167 bushels, against 3,061,- 126 bushels last week, 4,997,562 buslhels in the corresponding week of 1899, ‘5,026,024 bushels in 1§98, 2,315,408 bushels fn 1897, and 2,550,206 bush- els in 1896, Since July 1 this season the exports of wheat aggregate 117,355,528 bushels, against 144232241 bushels last year and 146,634,998 bushels in 1597- Business failures for the week number 232, as compared with 255 lgst week, 246 In the week @ vear ago. 25 in 1595, 526 in 1897 and 393 in 1506, Canadian failures for the week number 35, as compared with 35 last week and 32 in this week & year ago. Dun’s Review of Trade. el NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—R. G. Dun & Co. view of Trade to-morrow will say: No news Is always good news. New business for manufacturers this year has been light in some branches and much below the production last month. It is, perhaps, too often forgotten that the industries start this year with larger contracts ahead than ever before, and when half the work of the whole year has been or- dered in advance there cannot continue quite the same activity in new buying. The woolen manufacturer has just opened a new season with the largest transactions ever known in a contracts previously booked would make. simi- lar activity impossible. Yet there is seen enough of hesitation caused by advanced prices to make fnactivity trying. Distribution to con- sumers throughout the country s rapld and large, especially in quarters where it has been feared that retailers were overbuying, so that there i3 strong confidence in the future. It could not be expected that business would adjust itself without any embarrassment to any such a rise of prices as has occurred. Early in December wool rose too high for prices then obtainable for woolen goods, of dullness followed. The boot and shoe manu- facturers are receiving small orders, as jobbers pay the prices asked only for such [imited sup- plies as are needed for sorting; but their ur- gency to receive goods heretofore ordered is miirked, and shipments from Boston have been 380,963 cases in four weeks, about 4 per cent more than {n 1893 and 16 per cent more than in 1585, with greater increase over every other year. Leather is inactive and slightly weakas, in spite of heavy exports, and hides are yleld- ing at Chicago with accumulation of stock. 4 ron and steel prices have been ylelding for several weeks, and are a shade lower for prod- ucts than at any other time since the middle of September, though Bessemer pig and billets are still 6o scarce and firmly held that only two sales amounting to §000 tons are anywhere reported. Agreements to hold the price of bars do not prevent sales at Philadelphia for $2.07% of iron considered by buyers best refined, ac- cording to the Iron Age. Sellers call it ‘com- mon, and plates and sheets are both irregular there, with narrow plates sold at Pittsburg be- low $2.25. Strugtural shapes are not quoted lower, but the New York Central contract for 13,000 “tons of bridge matertal went to Pennsyl- vanla, Penyod and Detroit works, and two or- ders for 25,000 tons of rails are taken at Chi- cago. Last year 13,620,703 tons of pig were pro- duced, according to_the official record, the con- sumption being 13,374,277 tons. In minor metals tin only has been ‘active, January options being | quoted” at 2735 cents. Wheat has advanced to T5% cents, with no clear reason for such a sharp advance. Re- ceipts are small, in four weeks only 10,984,928 bushels, against 17,200,267 last year; but the Atlantic exports have been only 7,737,474 bush- els, flour included, against 11,037,353 last year. Pacific exporls show a little ‘gain, amounting to 3,311,236 bushels for the same four weeks, against 2,175,243 last year; but this is of no aid to Atlantic markets. Exports of corn still show that American food is wanted abroad, having been in four weeks 13452752 bushels,” against 12,570,564 last year. Nevertheless the price of cash 'corn has deciined about % of a cent, al- though option prices are about the same as at the close last week. Failures for the week have been 231 In the United States, against 224 last year, and 3§ in Canada, against 33 last yeay. New York Grain and Produce.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—Speculation in wheat was unusually active to-day, the bulls obtain- ing a grip on the market that resulted in 1yc advance. An advance of 3i4c a bushel in Paris Wheat, attended by confirmation of crop dam- age rumors, brought on heavy covering by locs interest and considerable investment buying likewise. In addition to this strong | news the market was influenced by re that Rosario, in the Argentine, had been closed by the plague. May wheat in this market, | atter opening strong at T%c, sold up in the last hour to T7c and closed mervous at 73%e. | 1t was, in_ fact, the bigsest day that bulls | bave seen in months and sentiment was cor- respondingly buoyant. — Chicago Grain Market. ! e CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—With Liverpool up %d and Paris advanced 3%@3%c local bulls were almost embarrassed by their riches. The ses- sion opened with May wheat 5%@%c over yes- terday’s close at 67%@67%c.

The offerings to-day numbered 13,154 bales and consisted of rather fair catalogues. Competition in merinos was good, especially the Continent. New Zealand crossbreds were in active demand and were taken by the home trade at full rates. Good lines of scoured stock were taken by the American representa- tives. During the series there were many with- drawals, The home trade purchased 47,000 bales, the Continent 35,000 bales and America 4000 bales. There were 37,000 bales carried ove: After the strength of the last series and en- couraging trade conditions and short supplies another rise was generally expected at the opening of the present serles. But instead the sales opened with hesitation on the part of buyers. Minor crossbreds sold par to § per cent, but sqon eased off to 7% to 10 per cent below the December serles. This weakness was due to the dear money conditions and the unsettled political conditions in South Africa. The Continental buyers were rather cautious at first and the home trade was quiet in their speculations owing to the healthy trade re- ports. Later operators became more confi- dent, especially the Continental and American buyers, and as. a result prices advanced consid- erably, particularly for coarse and medium crossbreds and fine greasy merinos. The clos- ing tone of the serles was steady at about De- cember rates and occaslonally 5 per cent higher. Cape of Good Hope and Natal woois were neglected and largely withdrawn. Portland’s Business.

This makes the Paris advance thus far this week equal to 10c per bushel. Liverpool was also higher, owing, according to Broom- hall’s cable, to British reverses in South Africa and the scarcity of contract Wheat. Argentine shipments were 1,000,000 bushels.
