A Pumming-Up of tlie Year's Duslness Shows that tho Trade Has Not Been Prosperous. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31. A summing-up of the iron and steel trado of the United States during 13? 3, as made by the bulletin of the American Iron and Steel Association, show that this has not been a particularly prosperous year for the ircn trade, and in many respects fell below 18S7 and lSG. The total production of pig-iron during the year is estimated at 0.000,000 tons, and of bessemer steel rail3 at 1,350,000 tons. The production of bar-iron and plato and sheet-iron did not vary much from that of 1830, while the production of structural iron end steel has been greater during 1S33 than in 1SSG or 18S7. The consumption of iron and steel during this year has fallen below that of the two preceding years. Tilt total importations are estimated at at 950,000 grovs tons. It is believed that the consumption of pig-iron has fallen about 000,000 tons as compared with 187, and the consumption of steel rails about 800,000 tons. Prices during lb? 9 are shown to have declined, this being presumably due to a certain extent to the reaction in the building of ev railroads which set in in lS-7. The prices for bar-iron and nails were very low tlironuhout the year. The price of old Iron rails advanced froru $21.75 in January to .24 in December. 8teel rails at the mills fell steadily from $31.50 in January to $28 in DeeeiuWr. The shipment from tho Lake Superior mines durtnsr the year, by lake and rail, were orr 5Ko,(fO gro tons, an increase of over 1 .250,000 tons. The shipments of Lake Superior on to f urnace? in eastern Pennsylvania and New York aggregates about 275.000 tons. . TKADING AT CITICAGO. The rps and Downs of the Market, with the Fwinge In Prices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO, Dec. 31. Wheat ruled fairly active and unsettled. The opening was strong and J4J be higher than Saturday's closing, ami with a continuation of the strength then existing and good buying, a further advance of lc was eatahtahlished. Later a weak feeling set in. Influenced by liberal offerings, due in part to rumors that stock in the United Kingdom would be 4,000,000 bushels larger than last year, and another that tho stock in the United Kingdom, .on the continent and afloat would be about 13,000,000 bushels larger than a year &5o. Thtra was considerable realizing by

THE

The market opened at Saturday's closing prices, and gradually advanced e, reacted 3feC. and closed 'Vc lower than on Saturday. There was a good demand for January earfy, and this had u strengthening influence on the other futures. Oats were weak and lower. Tbrc was an increased detdro on the part of some large holders to sell, 0110 operator disposing of about 1.O00.000 bushels at 23?ie. Despite tho heavy selling the burins was good, especially from 4shorts,H and prices declined only 3c, rallied slightly, and closed steady at J4C lower than on Saturday. Quite a pood business was done in mess pork, at irregular rrices. Early in the day tho feeling waa easy, and pricea declined 5a7bc Later, prices rallied 10312-bc, but declined again 108 15c. and closed comparatively steady. A decidedly weak feeling provailed in lard, and prices ruled decidedly lowerabout ,50c for December and .103,.15o on tho longer deliveries. The market closed rather time.

Features of the Transactions In Wheat, CHICAGO, Dec. 31. The wheat market was "bulgy" and nervous to-day. A bullish turn was given it at the start by dispatches from New York that exporters were buying freely in that market. Later it was broadly hinted that the alleged foreign buying was on orders from Hutchinson. There was nothing in tho tenor of foreign advices to betoken any sudden anxiety to pay 4 cents a bushel more for wheat than ft could have been had for four or five days previously. The foreign markets were very quiet as far as could be determined from private and public cablegrams. Tho first news, accompanied as it was by strong local buying, caused a good advance here, and other markets followed. A lot of figures relative to foreign stocks of wheat were afloat. Nearly everybody had it early that stocks in the United Kingdom wero tbreoorfour million bushels lower than last year. Old world wheat supplies were put at 107,800,000 bu. After an advance, May wheat went to $1.08J4, worked back to $1.0734. as the visible supply figures kept coming in, indicating an Increase of something like 400,000 bushels in stocks in sight. When tho footings wero posted they showed an increase of 285,000 bushels. This was a signal for another rally, and the price was driven up to $1.082 1.08b. On this occasion, as on the first bulge, Hutchinson poured all the wheat into the crowd that couid be taken, and again tho market yielded. ThU time the decline was not checked until Sl.OOi was reached. The price did not get back above $1.07 or below $1.0034, and it was $1.0G7 when the session was brought to a virtual close by a frolicsome outbreak on the part of tho younger members. Trade was stopped altogether for about twenty minutes, but yielding to on appeal from tho president, comparative quiet was restored, and those "Tho had business to attend to wero given an opportunity to transact it during the last fifteen minutes of the session. Ibices did not undergo any important changes, however, and tho market rested about where it did on Saturday. Everything considered, Hutchinson was the most important factor in the day's business. His buying started prices up and kept them going that way, and his selling started prices down and started the break witnessed during the last hour. The provision trade received fair attention. A collapso of tho December corner in lard, which declined .50o from Saturday's final rrice.made that article particularly weak, and for January and the subsequent months, prices ruled .05 .12 bo lower.

A Quiet Day in Commercial Circles Footings of the Year's Business Satisfactory. Idijuufoli3, Dec 31. As usual on the last day of the year, little was doing in trade circles, unless in the produce markets. Poultry was selling quite freely, and the demand for eggs and butter iras good. A weaker market on these articles, except in poultry, may bo looked for before the present week closes. Apples are a shade higher and meeting with better sale than at any time In the last three months. Some choice fruit sells as high as $3 per barrel, but good fruit can still be purchased at $2. Potatoes aro in large supply and weak at quotations, the mild weather having admitted shipments in here later than usual. Grocers were doing little to-day, but the volume of business in this branch of trade this year has been quite satisfactory. More money has been made than in 1887, as the fluctuations have been fewer and less Important than in cither of the last three previous years. In 1887 a few merchants got badly worsted In their coffee and sugar speculations, but this year there has been less disposition to speculate in these articles, even had the opportunity been as good. Dry goods men have had a prosperous year, and so have the hardware men, dealers in tinners' supplies and druggists. Prices in all these lines have ruled remarkably steady through the entire year. Provision men have had a fair year, and made some money more than they will next year unless tho prices of provisions advance sharply. It has been a bad year for the hide men and millers. Hids have been on the down grade all tho year, and tlour has been a drug on the market. Dealers in produce admit that 18S8 has been the best year for their business they have ever experienced. Crops of all kinds have been abundant, and, as a rule, good prices have prevailed. GRAIN. The attendance on 'Change to-day was small, and little interest was shown, except in securing small lots for early delivery.

Many of our people see a ffray-liaired and bearded old gentleman walking around tho streets, with a 6adness about his countenance which, though, can only be detected after close observation, for as soon as he sees you a smile lights his countenance in toen of recognition. He is a German nnd a musician, and is seen every night at the ppera-honse when.there is an entertainment there. His name is Professor Rcssler. Ho came to this country some sixteen years ago, from Germany, to make his home here, leaving his wife behind until ho could get settled, when he would send for i?ewHavins Sewed this desired end, a letter was dispatched home, tellinjr his wife of his success, and bidding her to come. It is said that she sailed from her native homc with a glad heart, in anticipation of meeting with her husband after an absence of two years. Every vessel that came .over was eagerly looked after, the newspapers were scanned for intelligence of her arrival, but nothing could be fieard of her. The ship on which it is said she sailed arrived at Baltimore, and the vif e anded there. The Professor with a joJES heart went there, hut lo, no trace of her could he found, and tho days, weeks and SPhf; ui?tili f oureea 7e,ars avo P8asas?a Without m IrnnnriiiiT a) 1, i t? v-v u3 uiuttt. iucii now it is white but there is a tenderness in his face, mixed with sorrow, and a cankering in his heart Si?leoeJ-on 0I tho hope of finally meeting his long-lost wife. 1 How Lawyers Are Estimated In China, North China Herald.
