NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Bradstreet's Financial Review to-morrow will say: During the past week there has been a fur- ther slackening of speculative activity at New Ycrk. The public is o longer buying stocks with vigor, and while advances have been | scored in various parts of the rallroad share , list they seem to be the result of support by | lorge interests or manipulation by bull pools, The professional element has also continued to exhibit more or less inclination to work on the bear side, although so far as railroad stocks are concerned the Impression produced by thelr attempts to depress prices has beeh comparatively small. In the industrials, how- ever, declining tendencies have been more pro- rounced. The fact that the directors .of the American Sugar Company instead of increasing the dividend on that stock to 2 per cent quar- | | terly, as was anticipated, kept the rate at 1% per cent, resulted In a sharp break in that im- | rortant security, and later on there was a de- | citne in Tennessee Coal, which also had an | effect upon the market at large. American | Steel and Wire has been the object of a great deal of attention on account of the stories | which are circulated of dissensions in its man- | sgement and the announcement that a stock exchange house has asked for proxies for use ar the coming annual meeting, | being to effect a change in the management. Stetements that the iron and steel trudes Wwhile in a sound condition, are by no me: coming, have » tendency to create caution, not only in regard to industrials, but the rail- road list as well, and offset to a considerable nearly all the leading systems. Rumors of deals and combinations are still heard, and support is given to many difterent groups of stocks on this basis. It may also be noted that while speculative buying is | dividend-paying stocks of the best class is on | @ large scale. The scareity of high-grade bond iesues is noteworthy and has led to a marked the second rank. The January disbursements for dividends and interest will undoubtedly be the largest in the history of the United State and the demand for securities in which to invest a considerable portion of the fund thus released is being to a certain extent antici- pated and discounted. Bradstreet's on Trade. -— NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will sa; There is a quieter tone and reduced volume of business doing, at wholesale, in many lines, but this is not unusual at this season, and Ill partly balanced by a larger interest in re- tall and holiday distribution. Weather con- | ditions are still a drawback to the trade in winter weight goods, but it s notable that & better report comes from the Northwest than for some weeks past. Southern trade advices remain good, but retall business at Eastern markets is still reported backward. In the larger lines of trade new features are not numerous. Textiles are quiet and rather dull with agents awaiting the opening of the spring season. Wool and woolens are still quiet. Cot- ton is irregular and the is at a bal- ance pending the publication of the next Gov- ernment crop report, which, however, is ex- m‘d to approximate 9,750,000 bales. The cost yet of raw cotton has not the purpose | | extent the contifiuance of good earnings by | of small pro- | portions the investment demand for bonds and | demand for securities of what may be termed & premium is offered for early galvanized and black sheets. The is active and 60,000 tons were icago _this week, ~While the total on rail mill books is claimed to aggregate 1,000,000 tons. While good sales of —e at some markets, business as 3orbole in this line is quieter, without, how. ever, any lack of firmness. Much is he: about forthcoming reductions in cost of ore. coke and labor, and this undoubtedly checks orders ahead, but higher prices for ralls are t tu:zd 'glx. furnaces are report eavily s0ld ahead. There is little or nothing doing in Bessemer pig and metals. Among the other tals copper is active and firm, but tin is Weaker. The shoe trade is cheerful, and East- ern han rers Jjobbers steady buy=- ers at the slight advance made some weel 880. Snow and wet weather are helping re- tall trade in shoes and rubbers in Northern markets. A better report comes from the flour milling industry, but the demand is hardly what was expected. * Sugar is higher for raws, but the refining branch presents the old appearance of irregularity and another price war 1a foreshadowed. Wheat, Including flour, shipments for the Week aggregate 3,432,159 bushels, against 2,497,- 880 bushels last week and 5,133,381 bushels in the corresponding week of 18%. From July 1 to date this season wheat exports are §1,331.426 against 94,301,273 bushels last season. i res exir the week number 214, againet 27 11 1o #3220 In this week a year ago and Canadian fallures number 21, as against 28 {;sku;s'eek. 81 in this week a year ago and 29 e, and deltvert Tall Tmisker Dun’s Review of Trade. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—R. G. ‘Weekly Review of Trade will say to-morrow: Business is progreesing along conservative Dun & Co’s lires. It is without excitement and without great speculative activity, but with a confi- dent undertons, which is to be explained largely by the fact that leading concerns in most of the great industries have orders booked to em- ploy thelr machinery at nearly full capacity duiing months when curtailment was usual. No net reduction in working force has ap- peared inethe last fortnight and a readjust- ment of wage schedules in some branches of the steel trade is effected without trouble. Prices of commodities are generally steady and Loliday trade is brisk at all points. The South rice crop coming in at very full prices. There is no cause for alarm In the small velume of new business at iron and steel cen- ters. With the first sign of higher prices there came forward siich a flood of contracts that mills and furnaces booked orders sufficient to keep the full force employed for months. Hence there has come a more quiet condition, | With less bidding for products. Fortunately :uotations were not forced up unreasonably during the week’s greatest activity and now | there is no sign of depression. On the other hund bars are more firmly held, while many idle mills have resumed in this department, and sheetmakers also insist on better terms. Other forms of finished material are steady and at most points pig Is unchanged, although concessions ‘are made for Bessemer at Pitts- burg. Numerous bridges are being erected by the railjoads and a heavy tonnage of struc- tural steel is taken. Other railway supplies are in active demand, with rolling stock ur gently sought. Business larly "brisk at Chicago. tion in domestle buying more attention is given t0_exports. Hides are easier, especially for country lines at Chicago. Even after the decline of the Jast two weeks the average is above the clos- ing prices of October. Wool remains steady | and sales are less than half of last year. Manu- facturers purchase carefully and the goods market is unusually dull for the season. For the first time in many weeks the cereals exhibited strength ard some advance was to | b2 expected after the extensive decline. Wheat vias started upward by the in iron is particu- of contracts. Nothing of importance was learned regarding domestic conditions, aside frem the heavy marketing at interior cities, as indicated by Western receipts of 5,825,402 bushels, against 3,502,798 in the previous week. On the other hand exports from the Atlantic Coast cities were only 2,214,409 bushels, against 8,350,677 in 1899, ! flures for the week were 287 in the United States, against 221 last year, and 2 in Canada, against 25 last year. * % |New York Grain and Praduu'.l | * .3 NEW YORK, Dec. 626 barrels, exports, 5563 barrels; sales, packages.
