NEW YORK, Dec. 4—The Commerclal Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram say Business in the markets here to-day was re- stricted and dull, speculators refraining from dealing until Thursday's Afrikander meeting, which, it is thought, may create some political disquietude. Paris rumors of a settlement of | copper troubles were accompanied by a fall in Tintos of 1% and in Spanish fours of 5% and fairly large cash sales of consols which fell 8-16. The sales of Tintos were attributed to President McKinley's reference to trusts in his message, which, hitting the Amalgamated Company woulf, it was thought, react on Tintos, but the trouble is apparently local. London was dull throughout except for Fries, |in which an apparently concerted movement ‘was made, both here and in New York. Londoa was inclined to sell the list, but New York sending Erle firsts a dollar above London prices.

Later the corn strength, the bellef that Bradstreet's world's visible would show a decrease of 3,000,000 bush- ¢ls and the reported closing of navigation on the sen of;Azof caused & sharp demand.

BOSTON, Dec. 4—Business was quiet in the ‘wool market this week, the holiday making quite a difference In the amount of sales. The tone of the market is steady, but the anxlet; felt ng the recent failure of two wool houses on ucaount of a fear that the wools held by these dealers would be forced on the market has been allayed by the t that the wools are to be offered on the market the same @s before. Dealers are viewing the outlook with expectation of a better market, but as yet they can see but little prospect of intme- diate higher prices. Territory wools continue to head the list of sales.
