Before the end of the day there was, however, a slackening of the mar- ket's progress and the realizing sales became rather more prominent than the buying, and prices consequently eased oft some and later reactionary tendencies asserted themselPes. This was due almost entirely to the advance of the Bank of England rate from 4 to 5 per cent, made necessary by the reduction of the institution’s reserve to 274 per cent of its lia- bilities, the lowest figures of the kind in a generation. On last Saturday the London mar- ket suffered from the collapse of & large min- ing promotion company, the London and Globe, which precipitated a dozen or 5o of failures in the mining stock section of the London Stock Exchange. This had an unsettling effect on the whole London market and was momentar- ily felt on this side. It did not; however, pre- vent London from responding to the continued improvement on this side and on Monday Americans were the only strong feature thers, while the foreigners were buyers in New York. Meantime, however, bad news about the sit- uation In South Africa depressed consols, and the unfavorable position of the Bank of Eng- land in the London money market was be- coming more of a factor. Consequently, wvhen the Bank of England rate was advanced, giv- ing evidence that the position at London was considered sufficlently serfous to warrant a radical step, liquidation of stocks on a heavy scale set in at the British capital. Heavy sell- ing of our stocks for forelgn account at once resulted, the pressure from this source being sufficfent to unsettle the entire market. The favorable New York bank statement of last Saturday, the general bellef that further ad- vances in prices were {mminent and the freely circulated reports of various deals and devel- opments have in the meantime resulted in a considerable {ncrease of speculative commit- ments. The market, in fact, gave evidence, of an_accumuiation of weak specnlative holdings, and though fresh buying and support appear- ed at the concession on Thursday, the profes- sional clement In Wall street quickly devel- oped a readiness to work on the short side. Stocks were accordingly pressed for sale by the bears and though the foreign selling had slackened, the pressure from this source caused considerable liquidation and dislodged many insufficiently protected long holders of stocks. In some cases, notably i American Sugar, the break sassumed a form, which had a tendency to still further unsettle ‘the market. - — Bradstreet's on Trade. ' NEW YORK, Jan. 4—Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: * Trade has been quiet in all lfnes, interest being concentrated largely in stock taking and contemplation of 1900 results. Colder weather has proved a slight stimulent to the retail mh winter g‘c.nd-. ""&.""1‘;'“..5,“ m;:l‘.:; are reported large. Cereals and provi: Bave advanced this week, while stocks have de- clined, but the upward movement hae been one of those familiar of late, a short selling with small fluctuations, limited by a feverish desire to profits. Railroad earnings hold up well for season and the great dividend pay- ments on record were reflected in the la day's bank clearings ever reported at New York. Failures show the usual largc crop of emall disasters, a feature of the turn of the year, but the results for 1900 as a whole are not all discouraging. December bank clearingy hold the record, although the total of 1800 as a Whole is 8.6 per cent behind 1899. Cotton Is rather quiet and unchanged on the week, while cotton goods are without muck movement, except as to slightly Wweaker quota- tlons for gray cloths at Boston. Fall River mills have pald 7% per cent for 1600 and an average of 6.50 per cent for eleven years past. Spring trade in prints and- ginghams has be- gun in fair volume at Boston. Wool is dull and rather easy. Outside of the United States, however, the situation is a strong one, as In- dicated by the firm Melbourne and London quotations. Manufacturers will only _buy against orders, and except in plain dress wool- ens nothing special is doing. All branches of the leather and kindred trades are in apparently cheerful mood. Lumber Is rather quiet, but it is to be noted that pine stocks are slightly smaller than last year. War is reported broken out in rub- ber goods and quotations have certainly been cut. Sugar prices are also lower, while coffee (roasted) has been advanced, which is charged 10_*‘readjustments The feature of the week in iron and steel has been the large sale of steel ralls reported, and from Chicago particularly, reporting 25,000 tons sold in one lot. This spirit of activity contrasts strongly with the quiet reported In nearly all finished iines and also in raw pig. Struotural material makers have been getting &o0d orders and bridgemakers are looking for a heavy business. This month may witness the settlement of the vexed ore situation and also some readjustments of wages to lower costs. Bessemer iron producers have reduced wages 15 per cent. rt trade s still quiet, and it is notable that for the first time In years exports of manufactured goods In November were smaller than the year before. What looked for a while like a real bull developed at the close of 1 Realizing by the bulls lost most of the advance, but there is & feeling in the trade that a strong operator could materially affect prices in the present condition of the market. Corn arrivals are still of notably poor grade and quotations are higher in sympathy with wheat and on large export movement. ‘Wheat, including flour, shipments for the Week aggregate 3,914,801 bushels, against 3,668, 165 last week, 2,605,082 in the corresponding Wweek of 1900, 6,560,208 in 1599, 3,481,576 in 1598 and 3,108,688 in 1597, From July 1 to date this season wheat exports were 08,065,576, against 106,503,875 last season. and 128,388,977 in 1898-99. Business fallures for the week number 266 in the United States, against 213 last week 229 in | 1900, 237 in 1899, 333 in 1898 and 488 in 1897. — - Duw's Review of Trade. * * NEW YORK, Jan. 4—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: In spite of the interruptions of the holidays and of the usually heavy annual settlements | in all lines of business, the new year opens | With indications of further progress. There Is no lack of‘contracts offered at steady prices | in the country’s leading industry and in some | departments of cotton goods there is a bet- ter movenfent, though speculation has de- | pressed the price of the raw material. Other- | Wise a decline in wheat Is the only noteworthy move instanced. It is explained by a reduc- tion in the flour output at Minneapolls, some mills shutting down, while the foreign demand at Atlantic seaboard citles is not brisk. The ordinary measures of business make gratify- | ing exhibits. No alteration has yet been made | |in_quotations of steel products and this In- dustry 1s on such a firm foundation that most | large concerns have maintained wages at the old scale, Instead of making the reductions anticipated. Iron ore prices are also unchanged and no action Is now expected until March, although a lower rate was looked for early in January. Coke is firmly held at Connellsville and there are fewer idle ovens, while the much discussed fall in prices seems’ confined to inferior quali- ties at outside furnaces. Pig iron sells freely for delivery up to April and there is no indica- tion of weakness. All finished products are eagerly sought, many large contracts having been placed for structural material d others are under consideration. An American co pany is the lowest bidder for the large bridge | at Sydney harbor, Australia. The purchase | of seven hundred'acres near Pittsburg by a | leading steel company indicates great enlarge- ment of its plant. Aside from one reduction of wages at blast furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys, the week's news is most encouraging in this, the greatest of American industries. The market for textiles has been featureles the holidays and stock-taking reduced busi- ness to Itmited dimensions. Wool has again | declined, making the average of 100 quotations 19.%6 cents, according to Coates Bros.' cire lar. Sales at three chief Eastern markes amounted to only 3,121,000 pounds for the weel | and there is much’ uneasiness over the state- | ments of largest stocks at the end of the | year, while recent failures have not tended | to improve the tone. Cotton goods have not | the same difficuities to contend with, but an | abnormally high price for raw material acts as a check on this industry. Local jobbing and retail trade is brisk in boots and shoes and many manufacturers are behind with or- ders. Yet uneven distribution of business has left some shops ready to make mncmlong.‘ Shipments from Boston for the week were 82,443 cases, against 91,666 a year ago. Sole | | leather is purchased freely, but less activity | in upper tends to weaken prices. Exports of | sole from this ‘city were heavier in December | than in any previous month last year, but | { the total for 1900 fell 306,938 sides below 1899 | For the first time In many weeks there was | some recovery in hides in Chicago. * — New York Grain and Produce.
