According to the reports to Bradstreet't
and ft. G. Dan & Co., general trade has
been depressed.by the long run of phenom
enally mild weather. Several features
have combined to force up speculative
prices, however. Iron is still enjoying a
boom.
ttnCWL TXXEQBAM TO THI DIS? JLTCK.1
New York, December 20. Special tele
grams to Bradslreet's show a noticeable de
crease in the volume of general merchandise
distributed, larzely on account of the un
seasonably mild or wet weather. Through
out the west, the scarcity of freight cars,
low prices for produce and the fact that
many merchants have on hand large por
tions of last winter's stock, in addition to
the weather, have contributed to check
trade, and complaints are heard from Chi
cago, St Paul, St Joseph, Omaha, Kansas
City, St Louis, as well as at the larger
eastern cities.
The declaration of 2 per cent regular and
1 per cent extra dividends by Lake Shore
and by Micigan Central, and one of 2 per
cent by Omaha yesterday, aided by contin
ued heavy railway earning, the settlement
of the Iowa railway troubles, the termina
tion of the Missouri Pacihc and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas controversy, and the in
creased earnings report of the New York
Central quite overcame the depressing ef
fects of irregular money markets and the
untavorable condition of the coal trade yes
terday, and the "Wall street stock market
was enlivened by a bull movemenin which
the Gould andVauderbilt shares showed the
greatest strength, even the Coalers and the
trusts shared.
COTTOV ASS WHEAT.
Bradstreet's 2,239 cotton correspondents
report a crop this year i per cent larger tney
did last year. If the actual yield this year
increases correspondingly as comoared with
last, the indicated view lor lsw-yu is t,zu,
000 bales. Exports ot wheat (and flour as
wheat) "are increasing rapidly, the total for
both coasts beine 2,872,021 bushels this
week, against 2.471.21C bushels last week
and 1,487,720 bushels in the like week of
38SS. The total exports July 1 to date
amount to 50,195,622 bushels, a quantity
about equal to that exported in a like por
tion or 1888, and as compared with 73,000,
000 bushels in 1887.
Special reports of net railway earnings
of 101 companies for October show a gain
of 17 per cent as compared with 1888, and
of 89 companies for ten months ended with
October, 1889, an increase of 16 per cent
Recent advances in iron and steel are re
garded with some apprehension, the trade
showing symptoms of crowding into the
market for supplies for season delivery. In
stead of crossing into 1890 at $20 for No. 1
pig iron, it may thus become a price in ex
cess of that figure.
J. FXXB PEOSPECT AHEAD.
A general advance through January and
February isnot unlikelv. Cleveland prices
of superior ores are at 56, Bessenier pig is at
$25, and Southern pig. Chicago delivery for
1890:-is announced at $19 T520 25. Heavy
contracts ot Bessemer iron have been placed.
Merchant bars is now at 2 cents. Steel Tails
are firmer at $35; with 1889 shipments ag
gregating 1,110,017 tons,abont eqnal to those
in 1888. Gross rail production lor 1889 will
eqnal 1,500,000 tons.
Wheat and' oats hive been higher in
price, the former 13JJc and the latter 14
14Jc Deliveries ot wheat at interior cities
have declined, and cables have been
stronger. Offerings of oats have been re
stricted. Indian corn on a freer interior
movement and iavorable weather conditions
is down c. Fork is more active at
concessions in price and lard is a little
easier. Offerings of raw sugars have been
beyond current needs and prices have ruled
easy. Eefincd is quiet and c lower. The
result of speculative transactions in coffee is
a net decline of 35 points on the week. In
trade cliann .s'coflee, is dull or depressed
and about c lower.
DBYT GOODS LOWER.
The movement of staple drygwds is mod
erate at New York and Boston, and leading
makes of 'brown and bleached cottons ire
V,' to X cent higher, while print cloths
nave declined 1-lb. Uold weather is needed
to enliven heavy weight woolens; raw wool
isia iair request at steady prices. .
Business lailures repotted to Bradstreet't
number 330 in the'TJnited States this week,
against 370 last week and 335 this week last
year. Canada had 34 this week, against 23
last week. The total of failures in the
United States January 1 to date is 11,353,
against 10,082 in 1888.
K. G. Dun & Co.'s review says: Mild
weather causes increasing trouble.' Perhaps
the coal trade suffers most; .many collieries
in Pennsylvania have stopped, throwing
over 4,000 men out ot employment and great
suffering results. The drygoods aud boot
and shoe trades are much affected. Cottons
are "only fair" at many Western points;
"hardly "satisfactory" at Cleveland, and un
pleasantly slow at Milwaukee, where much
excitement is caused by a heavy failure at
Fan du Lac, and small failures have be
cornlTalarmiiigly freqnent
ANOTHER FEATURE.
In some Southern States trade is seriouslv
affected for the time by the operation of the
Farmers' Alliance, which enlists farmers in
co-operative trading and, absorbs money
which might otherwise go to settle indebted
ness with merchants. The results, in some
localities, almost paralyze trade. But the
general tenor ot reports is by no means un
favorable. The volume of trade continues
larger than a year ago. Clearings outside
ot New York are still about 10 per cent
larger than last year. Railroad earnings
show a handsome increase.
The iron business seems a shade less
promising:. Recent sales of 60,000 tons of
Bessemer pig at $21 50, are supposed to have
supplied needs of large concerns, and with
additional furnaces turned to production of
this kind of iron, the future ot prices is less
clear. Rails are quiet flnd it is believed
that orders have been booked already for
700,000 tous delivery,-but next year; the
actual output this year, including light
rails, it believed to be 1,450,000 -tons,
.against 1,364,447 last year. Bar iron, has
been advanced to 2 cents by the association,
bnt is quiet; plate and structural iron tire
firm.
ESOLAJTD JL PURCHASER.
As a surprising reversal of the usual order
ol thinirs, it is noted that an English order
for 10,000 tons of pig iron has been received
with a margin of $4 per ton deposited, and
an English house has asked prices on 65,000
feetof wrought iron pipe, which is said to
"b- selling at 11 cents net, ngalnst 8.C3 cents
net in this country.
The exports in iJovember appear to have
exceeded those of last year by nearly or
quite $30,000,000; but since December 1 the
export trade has been a little smaller.
Money is still close here at 6 per cent on
call; comparatively easy al Cleveland; un
changed, but with liberal demand, at Chi
cago; close at Kansas City, but in sufficient
snrjnlv for legitimate business at Wntmi
aud Southern points generally. The Treas
ury has made heavy disbursements, so that
it -holds $5,200,000 less cash -than a week ago,
and foreiiro. -exchange has 'advanced ah
eighth .during the week. The generallerel
di prices nag scarcely coaugeo.

paratively dull. Only &000.000 bnihels of
wheat have been sold here, the price ad
vancing about 1 cent, and the change thus
far has been less thaawould ' naturally fol
low the close of navigation. Sales of corn
hsve been 5,500,000 'bushels, with a frac
tional decline, but oats are a shade stronger.
Pork has dropped 25 cents per barrel, and
lard a shade; oil is .Jf cent lower; with sales
of only 1,000,000 barrels for the week.
Coffee c lower with sales of 331,000 bags.
Though receipts and exports ot cotton both
fall a little below those of the corresponding
week last year, the price is unchanged. In
the stock market dullness has been fol
lowed by fc stronger tone.
The business failures number 342. For
the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 311.

THE ABSOLUTE PERFECTION
Of the Hardman and lbs Krakauer Pianos.
They are used by the best musicians, cul
tivated amateurs and people of intelligence
generally. The charm of the mechanism
and tone of these two makes of pianos cap
tivates all who hear them. Even those who
have been wedded for years to other instru
ments must acknowledge, if they are honest,
that the Hardnian and Krakaner makesare
the peers of them all. As a Christmas or a
New Year's gift a Hardman or a Kra
kauer piano is without a rival. A most
magnificent stock of these and other well
known makes ot pianos on hand to select

PLENTY OF CARS NOW.
The Dreary Famine is Over, and
Roads Are Howling for Freight.
HOLIDAY DULLNESS THE CAUSE.
Coal Hen No Looser Fraying for Cars, bnt
-Good, Eonnd Orders.
THE COZE SHIPMENTS AEE YERIHEAYX
Why January Will 'Throw Many Cars and Furnaces
Into Idleness.
There are more flat or open cars now than
the local Tailroads can find use for. The
warm weather and decreased demand for
coal are the causes. Coke shipments, how
ever, are still heavy. There will be more
cars yet idle in January, when many of the
blast furnaces blow out
. "Well, the car famine isAbout over, and
for a few -weeks, at least, we will hear no
more of the chestnut about 'how soon will,
we get those cars.' " said General Freight
Agent F. A. Dean, of the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Bailroad. "Yesterday was the
first day we had more cars than we could
possibly find use for. The Surplus is not so
great that the cars will not be pressed into
service, bnt at some points we had too
many. It will take several days to dis
tribute them properly, and we expect then
to have enough for all practical purposes.
"When I say that we have lots of cars I
do not mean box or merchandise cars. We
have a surplus of coal and coke cars, bnt
the others are still scarce, althongh we have
no complaints about not getting them. We
are still receiving parts of the order for 500
cars being built at Indianapolis and La
fayette. We are sending on our line about
i 4oo cars 0f coai a3d cote each day.
COAL MEN IK HABD LUCK.
"The coal men have turned their atten
tion from cursing the railroad companies,
and are now complaining about the warm
weather. They cannot get any orders now
on account of the winter being so backward.
Formerly they had the orders, but could not
eet the cars. Now thev can get the cars,
but no orders. There is a big demand for
slack from the furnace men in the Mahon
ing and Shenango valleys. The. article is
scarce and hard to get It only costs about
half as much as lump coal, and isjnstas
good for manufacturing purposes as the
large coal. The shipments are still very
heavy, notwithstanding the fact that there
are plenty of cars. I suppose after the holi
days business will-brace up again."
Air official in the office of the General
Superintendent of Transportation, Joseph
Wood, of the Pennsylvania company, said:
"Yes, the car famine is about at an end.
We have a few surolns cars, and I notice
that the number is increasing daily. There
is still a crying demand for cars in the West
to be used in the gram trade. The ship
ments of grain still continue to be very
heavy, witb no sign of a let np.
MORE IDLE CAES.
"In January I expect to see many more
idle cars. In that month the furnaces
blow out for repairs, and shut off a great J
amonnt of freight Alter being blown in
the heavy shipments will resnme, and the
business will again be heavy bv spring.
From the present indications I think next
season will be a big one in the railroad busi
ness." Another official of the Pennsvlvania lines
Lsaid: "The rush is about over, and for the
first, time in months we have more cars than
we can use. At some points along our
lines it is impossible to get the kina of cars
wanted as soon as they are ordered. In
another week I think, there will be more
cars of all kinds than can be used. We
have been as far as 200 cars behind in our
orders per day, but now have caught up."
The reports sent to Freight Agent Dean
show the shipments of coketo be on the in
crease. Far the first two" weeks of this
month,six days per week there were shipped
13,327 cars of coke to Pittsburg and the
West On the 19th inst there were shipped
to Pittsburg, Bessemer and the West, 733
carloads. About 300 cars went east the
same day. It is safe to say tbat the east
and west will average the past week from
1,200 to 1,500 cars per day.

Speeches and Goods.
If you know the goods you
have a key to the speeches
about it. One house talks ex
travagantly about common
clothino;. Another, whose
goods are reliable, says less
about them than they would
be justified.
The same rule holds about
prices. One makes a speech
that you wonder at about re
ductions in price. Another,
whose prices are always low,
tells quietly about making
them lower still. The one
uses showy phrases; the other,
effective, plain talk.
We believe you are always
ready to accept our speeches
.about Wanamaker Clothing
at par. We mean just what's
said, and give what's promised
full value.
Unexceptionable tailoring
to order: 1,000 styles of goods.
