Summed up briefly the situation is one of widespread confidence in the general business outiook. Cereals have given a further exhibition of life this week, partly cn light Northwestern recelpts and advices that Argentine receipts Wwill not exceed 35,000,000 bushels, or about half those of & year ago, but largely on the un- Qquestionebly heavier velume of Wall street money seeking an outlet in the grain market. Fluctuations have been wider and it has been essentially a traders’ murket with net changes | for the week small. Corn is slightly higher in sympathy with wheat and small receipts of contract. Inquiry rather than active demand is a lead- ing feature in fron and steel, but quite an Increase of activity is noted in Bessemer Dig iron and billets at Pittsburg and in plates at Chicago. No change in billets or plates has been on as yet. Iron production is in- creasing, but has not yet overtaken consump- tion and stocks are reported smaller than a month ago. There are only two idle furnaces | mow in the Chicago district. Cotton has weakened on discouraged bull liquidation due to larger receipts, while cotton §o0ds have been quiet on the advices of a backward spring trade in the East. Wool has been in rather bettor demand than of late, due to better buyinz by manufacturers. A better business has been booked In overcoating on next fall account ct lower prices, but the regular heavywelght seacon has not yet opened. Plain dressgoods are being ordered quite freely, but the fancles are ueglected. Jobbing bu: ness in shoes is quieter, but Is quite good at rejall. Travelers are now going out with fall Etyles of shoes, which will sell slightly lower than last year.

The facts that on last Saturday in the two hours of business at the New York Stock Exchange | 177,000 shares changed hands, and that on Monday, January 7, the high water mark for a full day was reached with recorded dealings of over 2,000,000 shares, {llustrates the size of the This was due to the effect on speculation of the deal by which the Jersey : uired for the Reading Company, supplemented by the general beliet that a foundation existed for the rumors coq- cerning the acquisition of the £t. Paul Com- | pany and perhaps of other western svatems by certain corporations. Enormous realizing sales increasing its participation in the speculative movement. Later in the week, while the vol- ume of transactions continued large, the tone became quicter and there was a subsidence of the excitement, accompanied by more or less reactionary tendencies. This was partly occa- casioned by the fact that the growing ease of money here and the tendency of funds to re- turn to New York from the interor is in de- cided contrast to the continued pressure upon the London money market, which creates an urgent demand for our assistance there, re- flected in the further rapid rise of foreign ex- change rates at New York this week whd the prospect that some gold will have to be shipped to the cther side. While the bank statement Saturday was satisfactory, and it is ure in ou: the outlook internationally 1s Even more effective, however, were develoj ments wkich seemed to indicate that the street was oversanguine about plans of the finan- clers who were supposed to be preparin fresn combinations concerning 8t Bl an other raiiroads, and the announcement of pros- pective competition by the Carnegle Company with the National Tube Company, the last news being particularly depressing 'in its ef- fects on the industrials. It must, however, be admitted that at concessions there was appar- ently a good buying demand for stocks and that the investment market shows no exhaus- tion of the buying power. In fact, notwith- standing, large pu s apparently for invest- ment have been seen in stocks which Iike Mis- eouri Pacific have advanced on the strength of intimations that their restoration the posi- tion of dividend payers is at hand. Bonds have also been very strong and the scarcity of offerings of prime issues is still a feature. street ftself seems less inclined to fear an immediate cnlmination of the ) " than it was a few week: activity on a ale which sc: dinary’ conditions might have sup- o m: the turning point in the speculation created little actual misgivings on the part of speculators. Pools in certain stocks seem to have realized, but other securities have been taken in hand and advanced in their place, and the success with which it has been re- peated creates a feeling that the press can go on for some time to come, though stocks which have been unduly advanced recede to more mod- grate quotations and the market 1s a large wuc- ferer from temporary general reactfons. The suprort given by large interests to these spe- claltles has not, apparently, heen withdrawn, and new combiuations among the railroads are expected to be annoui even if actual facts in scme instances do not agree with specula- tive anticipations.

Plate and sheet mills have large business an merchar steel 1s in brisk demand. Competi- tion is keen, however, and increased operations fail to affect prices. New schedules are prom- ised in the near future and lower freight rates are anticipated. Stocks decreased slightly in December, but there is fear of accumulation and quotations at Pittsburg and Philadelphia have declined during the past week. Investment of Wall-street capital was ru- mored as supporting cotton and wheat, but the effect w not permanent. Cotton ad- vanced temporarily, only to react when Liver- pool cables failed to respond.

Some thought the buying was In the way of evening up Armour's trades in order to settle the estate of the late P, D, Armour. It was also re- ported that the operations had to do with Judge Tulley’s adverse warehouse decision an- nounced yesterday, although in what way was not made plain. Outside interests were not ir the market to any extent. Demand invari- ably met with liberal response from longs. Lower cables, heavy receipts, increased Ar- gentine shipments and favorable news from that country were depressing factors.

Auctioneer. consumption of coal must be serfously dimin- ishing, as the yards are all overladen, and arrivals are fully equalfto all immediate re- quirements, hence stockd on hand are not les- sened. Jobbers are complaining about the vol- ume of business {n all lines. Even in househoid grades, which at this season should be exceed- ingly active, the sales are light. This may bLe partially atiributed to the increased introduc- tion of gas stoves, which always happens when domestic fuel s high. Coal quotations for enough, lower than year, and contracts are now being made at shaded prices for future delivery. This is mainly caused by the influx of fuel ofl, which is being freely offered delivered here, at prices fully 25 per cent below coal: this is being largely avalled of by iarge and small factories, 28 a power producer, as the expense account is lessened ‘thereby. English and Colonial products are temporarily shut out of this mar- ket: their delivery cost cannmot be paid by con- sumers.

Thers is a further decline in Butter, and the tendgncy is downward, ow- ing to large and increasing supplies. Cheese I8 also going down in the wholesale market. Poultry has been higher and rather scarcer this week, but at the close is in better supply and rather cheaper. Game is precisely the re- verse, being in lighter supply and r at the close of the week. Summer Vegetables are generally dearer, as the killing frosts in the southern part of the State are cutting down the receipts. The market s heavily supplied with Oranges, Lemons and Bananas. Mutton and Lamb are very dear and scarce.
