-? THE PITTSBimQ- DISPATGH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25. 1891 , J. THE HOLIDAY TRADE. While Sot an Infallible Index, It Has Been Unusually Large, ESPECIALLY SO IN PITTSBURG. Efcns of a Revml of Old-lime Speculation in Wall Street. GRAIX SHIPMENTS STILL ENORMOUS If rECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH. 1 Kew Yokk, Deo. 2i Special telegrams to Bradstred't indicate the results of short week in which the greater share of the in terest in the business world has been di rected to holiday specialties. Xoneofour telegrams this v.-eek indicate anything more than a quiet condition of affairs in any of the staple lines. The distribution of Christmas novelties has been quite large, but the volume of general business is greatly reduced, and will remain so until well into the-new year. Merchants East and "West regard with con fidence a favorable prospect for 1892. At present the principal activity is in stock-takinc Country merchants "West and Xorthwest are fairly well stocked, and will buy in the near future only on orders. This is largely due to the prolonged un seasonably wjirm weather. Cotton, sugar and rice receipts at New Orleans have fallen off, and the'depression in cotton at the South is affecting all lines of business. o Perceptible Chance In Staples. There are no changes of note in leading staples. 3Iist of them are dull and feat ureless. Changes in cereal prices are not noteworthv. Hogs are 5 cents higher per hundredweight. Pig iron is firm and is Faid to be "steady," despite cut prices on some grades which are not generally ad mitted to be standard brands. Drygood jobbing is dull, owing to the holidav influence and warm weather. Ex- Iort demand is improving. Print cloths lave been more active and advanced 1-lGc. Wonl is quiet, as manufacturers have been buying only on concessions. Dress goods makers are principal purchasers of wool. Cotton is dull and heavy nnder the pres sure of large receipts. The 1891 cotton report to Bradstrtet' con tains the substance of 1,418 replies from 595 counties in the cotton-growing region, an average of nearly two and a half replies from each countv." A good picking season Is reported in all directions. The tendency is apparentlv toward a reduced vield in the South Atlantic and Eastern Gulf States, w hile in Texas an increase over last year's crop is indicated. rianters" Financed ot Flrs-CIa. The crop movement is reported much more rapid than a year ago. The financial con dition of cotton planters generally i said to be not very favorable. The reports this rear indicate a probable crop of 5,490,000 bales of cotton. The monev market is verv eav, with time monev in superabundant supply. For eign eschasc" has declined Icon the pound, and large gold imports are again considered imininent. Exports of wheat from the United States this week, including flour as wheat, for five days only, all of the Pacific coast shipments not received, aggregate 3,558.848 bushels. Iat week the total was 5,495,000 bushels. For 26 weeks of the cereal year, counting the partly estimated and partly official ex ports of wheat and flour to British Korth America, not included in ourregular weekly reports, the preliminary grand total is about 123,000,000 bushels of wheat, as com pared with about 52,000,000 bushels from Julv 1 to December 23, 1890. Exports of Indian t corn are increasing sharply, amoanting-to 1,160.890 bushels this week, against 683,624 bushels last week. Those of oat, too, have augmented surpris ingly, amounting to 1,175.018 bushels this week, as compared with 801,683 bushels in the previous week. Rye exports have de clined from 507,565 bushels a week ago to 114,934 bushels this week. A Revival of Speculation. Bradstred't weekly "Wall street review says: The past week has witnessed further pr rrcss toward the realization of that broad and active speculation which for some time past 'Wall street has confidently expected. Itmaystillbesaid that the buying is largely professional, ana that the public lias scarcely begun to take an active in terest. At the same time, the steady ad vance of bond quotations and the remark nlily heavy trading In that qnnrter, could scarcely have developed without the assist ance or the investing public It is noticeable that foreign interests, thonsrn not inclined to take an active part till after the holidays, have been favorably impressed by the conditions which prevail here, and have bougnt moderately but eteanilv. At the same time the general conditions on which the bullish inclinations arc based continue to exert a sustaining in fluence. The most slrnifirant event was the marked advance in the Gould stock, headed by Missouri Pacific, w hieh could onlv be inter preted as meaning that the interest which controls that property is no longer even passively opposed to the general specula tive inclination. At the same tlmo some stocks, notably Northern Pacific preferred, which have been under pressure, recovered ground, while Richmond Terminal had a sharp recovery. One of the principal happenings of the week did not coincide with bullish predic tions. When the Lake Shore only main tained its 6 per cent rate for the year and Jlichizan Central and Canada Southern In creased their.dividends by onlv J per cent each, something of a chill was g'lvcn to the market. K. G. TJnn & Co.'s Cheerrnl Report It. G. Dun & Co.s weekly review of trade says: Holiday trade is not always a just measure of the pro-perity of the people, but it Is sat isfactory to know that at most points it is unu'uallr large this year, though some lo calities repcu that it is less than last iiir General trade this scaon is usually H..iir j meichants being engaged in taking .tn.i- I but at many points it is reported larger than J v-uai, ana even larger man last year. Ee poitsfchowlesseomplnint as to collections and a large trade in progress. At Pittsburg trade is unusually good in all lines, with iron and steel manufacturers more hopciul, and the glass trade lairly good. The great industries close the year with more than usual activity, even the woolen mills having orders enonjrh to keep them fairlv employed, and a number have re cently started, but none shut down. Cotton manufacturei s find a good demand, and numerous enlargements or plants are re ported. Shoe factories complain that usual orders are lacking, and vet they are fairly active. Paper mills are busy and making many additions of machinory and buildings. The Iron manufacture has been turning out more pig than ever before, though noma works have stopped for the holidays, and the tone of tho market is stronger, with rather more demand forfinished products.
