ing at one time only below the great trunk line stock. The absorption of Northern Pacific vas very heavy, the price rising at the opening Z over Saturcay in a competing rush of orders to buy at the market. Later in the day thfre was a recrudescence of strength In the Erie stocks, under the influence of the semi-annual announcement of the terms of the bond isfje for financing th purchase of the Pennsylvania Coal Company. The first prefer rd stock was rushed up to W'i. which was 4 over Saturday. The pi fees of all three of the stocks mentioned wer nigh above all previous records. The same was true of other tocks in the railroad list, but thJ general movemt-nt otherwise was to a large extent in sympathy with the movement In this group. This specialized strength also served as a

sustaining fcice for a very urge amount vi proht taking, as constantly has been the case- recently. After the manner in which London a weakness was Ignored on Saturday the apprehensions of trouble there yesterday were not looked to for rauch effect h-re. Hut the unexpectedly firm aspect of affairs there did serve cs a fillip to the market and London buying herd was a ractor or. sirn;i.u, uiuwusu "it sufficient welling for that account in other storks to leave the buying on balance only small. The strength of the sterling exchange market. In faca of London buying here, was very slunlncant. Comemrcial bills of exchange against uotn cotton and grain are reported rather scarce, and it If probable there Is some demand for exchanse for remittance of annual obligations to London. Rut the special demand for terling'ls probably ta be explained by the lending of New York money In London. The exigencies of the London market and the abundance of funds In New York. In spite of the extraordinary demand, pcint to such a process. The year closed with a 6-per-cent. call loan rate only momentarily main tained. There was some diminution In the buying of bonds and prices declined In some portions of the list while advancing at others, lotai waies. at jar value, were $1.375,000.

STABLE BUSINESS YEÄR INDUSTRIAL AXD COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS WERE FAVORABLE. Agriculture Yielded Enormous Return . to the Husbandman Depressed Interest Are Few. NEW YORK, Dec. Sl.-Dun's Review, In Its summary, reviewing: the business of tho year Just closed, will say, regarding the leading markets: Conditions ia iron and steel during- 1900 were much more sound than in the preceding year, when speculation was rife and prices inflated far beyond the bounds of reason. Statistics of the weekly capacity of furnaces in blast show that the highest point on record was reached on Feb. 1, while there was little diminution during the next few months. But, with the collapse of speculation during the spring, and realization of the fact that operations had been overdone there came a steady reduction in output. From 296 furnaces in blast on Feb. 1 there followed a continual shutting down until but 201 were in operation on Nov. 1 and the weekly production decreased 82,710 tons. Even at this rapid rate of declining output stocks accumulated with startling rapidity, and on Oct. 1 the top was reached at 670,331 tons. Business conditions were satisfactory, however, and demand expanded, while exports of finished products grew very heavy when prices reached a level that made competition possible with British and German producers. In two months ended Dec. 1 furnace stocks of pig iron decreased 113,&J5 tons, and the tcne was so much improved that many idle furnaces resumed. Manufactured articles have moved along similar lines. Quotations of iron and steel products at the beginning of the year were little below the level prevailing thirteen years previous, and the fall was almost uninterrupted until October, when the average was but C3.CS per cent, of the ligure prevailing on Jan. 1, 1SÜ7. It is difficult to select any one branch of this industry as being pushed harder than another. Railway supplies of all kinds have sold very freely, and the market is f.ooded with urgent orders for freight cars. Structural materials, particularly for bridges and ships, has been in much better demand than supply. Steel rails were reduced from lat year's price of $35 to $26, but it was an open secret that the former figure had only been nominal for months prior to the official change in September. Contracts for 1.2UO.00O tons deliverable in 1901 have been placed at $-G and numerous export orders also suggest the probability that the list will be maintained. Tin bounded up from 2554 cents at the opening to 35 cents in Julj and then gradually lost all the gain. But during the last week there was recovery to iTTU. Copper has done nothing startling, variations remaining within the range of threequarters of a cent. Opening at 16,. there were sales as low as ltU and the close was at the top, at 17 cents. Trade has been active and production pushed. One authority places the American yield well in advance of any other country. Lead fell from 34.27 at the start to $3.57, and recovered to $1.16, where it has been retained for many months. The year 1900 opened with favorable conditions prevailing in nearly every branch of the dry goods trade. The home trade continued good for the flrst three months, and then fell away until the market had lapsed into pronounced dullness and from a steady upward course, in prices began gradually to decline again. The arrest cf buying was remarkable. In woolen goods stocks began to accumulate again and their course up to the close of the year has shown pronounced weakness in both men's wear fabrics and dress goods, witU the result that the gain in prices made la3t year and in the early part of this has be?n lost in many directions, und where any is retained at all, it Is of limited extent. A sudden demand from thina for heavy brown cottons in May the first purchases made for that 'market in several months unfortunately was checked by the outbreak of the Boxer uprising, and since then there has been an entire suspension of buying for that c6untry. In September another stimulus was given to cotton Roods by the rapid advance In raw material, which followed the Galveston disaster and short crop predictions. Prices resumed their upward course and the market ruled strong again until the end of October, when there was a lull in the demand. Stockjs, however, had been well cleaned up, as a rule, and although some of the staple lines have eased off slightly, a fairly steady tone has prevailed since. The prosperous condition of the cotton goods trade last year and the early part 01 this has had a marked rffect upon the cotton industry In the South, reviving the boom in mill building, which the previous depression had checked. A number of new mills have been added, and many more ar in course of erection. It Is probable that when the year's statistics are compiled they will show the addition of nearly 1,000,000 spindles to the productive capacity of the South. After advancing from the average of 100 grades of wool reported by Coates & Brothers, on May 1, to 24.70 in December. it was only natural that the year 1000 should witness severe reaction and return to a more normal level. The decline was gradual and the jear closed about 22 per cent, below the top point touched twelve months previous. The closing year of the century was a remarkably satisfactory one for farmers and planters, notwithstanding the fact that some sections harvested smaller crops than in preceding years. AVhile the South produced less cotton than in the two previous record-breaking seasons, prices were the highest In ten years, and the net profits made on plantations were enormous. Spring wheat States lost much grain, but Kansas and other winter wheat growers made big crops and the average was high. In fact, the cereals were all abnormally advanced until there occurred a loss In exports, so that Russian ports were able to secure much of the grain trade that had belonged to American producers. Corn was put up to within a fraction of 50c here, and speculative manipulation forced the Chicago price still higher. These operations had a naturally deleterious effect on exportation, and foreign surplus countries reaped much of the benefit from the excessively Inflated domestic markets. Pensions for Veternna.

The opening strength was based on an advance at Liverpool equal to l'sc here, on moderate Northwest receipts, and a reiteration of the report that Argentine would have but 46.000,000 bu, and that of an inferior grade, for export. The sentiment In the pit was bullish to a degree which needed but little to set it aflame. On the report of a visible decrease of 6i,000 bu the demand became even more pressing than before. Shorts and those who had taken profits' earlier, added to the clamor from commission houses, and in steady leaps May ascended to TSc.
