eling salesmen will start out for new busi

ness, collections the first three business days of the year are reported to have been

very satisfactory. The dry goods houses have very fine samples of goods to offer for the coming year at attractive prices. The hat and cap dealers and the milliners are looking forward to an early improvement in trade. Leather dealers report business as satisfactory, as do the druggists. Linseed

ous are very nrm at tne advance or L'c per gallon on Friday. Dealers in flour and ccrealine products report trade good, such

articles being substituted for Irish potatoes to a greater extent than usual. The produce market carries a very firm tone on eggs and

butter, roultry Is moving well at prices

quoted. On Commission row prices are hard

ly as strong as previous to the holidays,

and still lower prices the coming week will not be a surprise, as stocks in all lines are now well supplied, and the demand is not

as active as a short time ago. Much de

pends on the weather for the coming few

weeks as to the volume of sales, but good prices are likely to prevail on all lines of fruit and produce. In prices there were no changes on Saturday calling for special mention, and steady, firm prices are looked

for by merchants in all lines.

Decndence of Cliewins: nnd Snußlnsr AVIilIe CIsarette Habit Grows. London Standard. That things are not always what they seem, even in tobacco, is piquantly revealed by the report issued recently by the principal chemist of the government laboratory. The cheap cigar, however, is not such an unblushing fraud as once it was, so that Calverly's warning to freshmen, Manilas, vocat hoc proetexit nomine caules, is now less needed. But wo must still not trust too much in the name; the most wo often can hope is that the tobacco grew at the place whose name it bears, for a large number of "foreign" cigars are manufactured in England, because leaf tobacco pays a much lower duty than the cisrar itself. The law, however, has to

light against adulteration, and in the main, as we gather, does it successfully. Some "additions" are allowed, as necessities or

Improvements, but a certain number of manufacturers, if given an inch, try to take an ell, by always mixing with the tobacco as much as posible of any ingredients that may be legally used. A little water, for instance, is required, but not enough materially to increase the weight. - In roll tobacco a small quantity of some kind of oil is wanted, but some time ago it was found that both this and cake tobacco from certain factories contained much more oil than was Justifiable; also that the amount was gradually being increased, and the practice was spreading, probably because others were doing it in self-defense. Nor was this the only adulterant. That check was needed is shown by the fact that forty-four out of sixtyone samples were found to be adulterated one-fourth with either licorlco or glycerine, the rest with salicylic acid. It is satisfactory to learn that a subsLintial penalty was indicted. It is well the article should be pure, n.w that the consumption has become so larue. For the year ended last March 82.221.S1S pounds of leaf tobacco and 3.3l5.2"3 pounds of manufactured were imported into tha United Kingdom. Rather more than 2,vX0,O pounds of this was again exported, but over S3. 400.000 pounds remained, and. we suppose, had for its epitaph pulvis et umbra snuff and smoke. In fact we use on an average a little over two pounds a head yearly. The increase has been marked during the last ten years. From 1S4L when a 'little less than fourteen ounces a had was consumed, there has been a gradual rise of something like thrct? ounces a decade, but during the last ten years the annual consumption has been increased by seven ounces. This is mostly dim to the habit of cigarette smoking, which has extended to women and is the delight of street urchins. The custom has Its drawbacks... ....

NEW YORK, Jan. 4. The disappointment over the weekly bank statement today made it difficult for the stock market to make headway against the selling to take profits. A good part of the gains were wiped out after the statement appeared and some of the weak stocks fell a point or more below last night. Realizing was In evidence from the outset, among the coalers and some others, but the heavy absorption of the United States' Steel stock3 and a rise in Amalgamated Copper gave some tone to the market. Copper promptly relapsed and selling also met the advance In the United States Steel stocks. The rise in Copper was based on the reported dissolution of an Injunction against the payment of dividends by ono of Its subsidiary companies. A number of low-priced industrials developed strength during the day, especially the producers of railroad equipment. St. Paul advanced on its Increased earnings for the fourth week in December. The announcement that this company would discontinue statements of weekly earnings gave rise to some doubt among speculators over the railroad outlook. The bank statement showed an in

crease of only 53,4o7,SOO in cash, which was

less than half the amount predicted. The

increase of reserve requirements by the

large loan expansion more than off-set this in the surplus item, which accordingly

decrease. Confidence in money was considerably

thought probable there had been shipments

of cash to Cleveland to meet the exigency

there. Considerable attention was still

given to the Cleveland incident. Predictions among exchange authorities that ex

ports of gold would be resumed soon also disturbed sentiment over the money out-

but with some slight recoveries from the lowest. The activity and strength of stocks this week has reflected a hopeful and confident spirit over the outlook for the new year. The year-end stringency of tho money market has been ignored in the confidence that a few days would see relaxed rates, with a return to the channels of the money market of vast resources through the unprecedented disbursements on account of in

terest ana dividends, and of the currency

W'hich has been In active circulation to ac

commodate the needs of the great holiday

trade, the volume of which has been an index of the great prosperity which the country enjoys. The conviction has been

prevalent that the January relaxation ot

money rates would bring a rise in stocks,

and the buying of last week and this has

represented an effort to anticipate the January rise. There has been little evidence of what Wall street calls outside interest in the market, meaning the rank and file of

speculators the country over. The operations bear the stamp of professional traders of large means joined in speculative

syndicates and of bankers and large finan

clal interests. The movement seems to be

based on general considerations of confi dence in the stability of values, the sus

tainea prosperity or tne country and a

prospective willingness of ' capital to in

vest in securities at their present high

level of valuation. The practical consum

mation of the conversion of Northern Pa

cific preferred stock into common stock,

wnicn was an essential to the plan of organization of the Northern Securities Company, has been an element of strength for stocks. The adjustment of hostilities which

seem to be still latent in the transconti

nental railroad situation was felt to be dependent on the success "of this plan, and its progress relieves anxiety caused by. the evidences of obstruction to it. It is hoped

also that the way is thus opened for a resumption of some of the Important projects for further combinations which

were interrupted by the shock of the North ern Pacific corner Last May. .

On the prospect for the coming year In the stock market opinion in the financial

world is by no means unanimous. Ine pres

ent high level of prices is a subject of some misgiving, even among the bulls. It is

pointed out that not a few departments of the market recovered after the May panic

to higher prices than before, notwith

standing the excess of speculation which resulted in that upset to the market. 'There

are many stocks whose prices were the

highest on record at the end of the year.

The speculation which made those prices was counting upon continued increase in the earning power rather than upon mere

maintenance of that power. The decrease

in earnings of railroads compared with the

corresponding period of last year, shown

by the latest returns, revives the question whether the railroad world is to escape the

effect of a shortage in the corn crop, which is estimated at a valuation as hlsh as $100,000,000. Capital' issues on the various

railroad mergers and purchases have been

confessedly at a rate which requires a con

tlnuance of the recent level of prosperity to make adequate return upon new securities as investments. High prices have been paid in all cases for properties included in mergers. Not only is this true in the case

of railroad properties, but presumably of

industrial properties, although public information in the latter case is much less

The Amalgamated Copper incident and the developments in that trade are felt to be

pregnant with suggestion of possible re

suits to flow from a decline in demand for

products of other industries capitalized on a basis of heavy consumption at high

prices. The course of the country's for

eign trade towards decrease of manufactured exports and increase of imports. is

suggestive of lessening demand and in

creasing competition from the depressed

foreign markets. The lack of the financial stimulus of enormous foreign credits

by reason o favorabla trade balances al

ready has been conspicuously evident.

Signs of revival in foreign financial and in

dustrial affairs raise the question of the

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS.

Jan. 4. Cattle Receipts, 400; shipments

small. The receipts of cattle this week have been comparatively liberal, the total indicating a gain of 2.400 over last week and

1.S00 over the same week a year ago and the corresponding week two years ago.

Thus far this year there is an increase of nearly 1,100 over the same period last year. This week opened with only moderate sup

plies in all markets and with an increased

demand from practically all sources. The

natural result was a decided upward movement in values. Initial sales of the week

were usually 10515c higher than tho close

of last week and in some instances a greater gain than that was registered. There

was a continued active demand throughout the week for all fat stock and current prices were strong but probably no higher than at the beginning of the week. There was a continued absence of top export steers, but some of the offerings were good enough to bring $6.G0, which is the highest price obtained for a load in this market since early in October, Ü93. A few fancy cows and heifers also sold at extreme prices, the former being reported as high as $1.75 and the latter $5.25. Rulls did not show much change, the top being $4.75, and there was an unusually strong demand for calves at higher 'prices, quite a number having been sold at $7. Late in the week there was some tendency toward weakness in prices of certain of the less desirable grades but buyers did not succeed In breaking the market to any appreciable extent. The receipts of cattle to-day were larger than usual at this time in the week and a good Variety of grades were represented. All buyers were In tho market at the opening and with rather aggressive competition the offerings from the start changed hands promptly at strong prices, compared with these current at the highest time this week. Steers averaging 1,15b to 1,394 lbs sold at $5.tZ)t'G.15, heifers at $374.35. canners to choice cows at $1.25'74.5), bulls at $2.60 3.50 and calves at ?3.50iG.75.

Circulation, increase u.iw

Legal tenders, increase 2,257,200 Slnecie. increase 1,190.600

The banks now hold $7,513 573 in excess of reserve requirements under the 25 per cent. rule. The Financier says: "The movements of cash this week, so far as they affected bank conditions, are estimated to have resulted in a gain to three Institutions of $3,622,000. This increase was partly due to the heavy disbursements of $3,155.&0u by the subtreasury for unmatured bonds, which were

bought early in the bank week, and largely ments to a return movement of $7.205,000 net from iambs

near-by interior points, mucn or which OVer

money was that wnicn nan Deen withdrawn

previous to the holidays, for expenses dur

ing the festival season and was returned throueh the customary channels of trade.

The most Important offset to the gain last

week was $2.52S,700, which resulted from

the fiscal operations of the subtreasury and also from the payments by New York banks

for themselves or for correspondents, of

lawful money for the purpose of retiring

banknote circulation. Gains in cash of magnitude, it may be noted, are usual at t-he

tcsrlnninpr of the year, not only from Inter

ior sources, but from the distribution of

dividends and Interest incident to this period. Last vear, for example, the bank state

2,000 over the same week a year ago, and a

decrease of 4,000 compared with the corresponding week two years ago. The receipts thus far this year Indicate an increase of about l,3u0 over the same period last year. For the week ending yesterday local packers bought only 10,516. against 21,567 the preceding week and 12.817 the same week a year ago. During the same period the shipments wrere unusually lib

eral, the total being 17,417, against 6.311 the

preceding week and 14.X.1 the corresponding week a year ago. The hog market this week opened with only moderate receipts, and with an increased demand, especially from outside sources, the tendency in the general market was upward, which had its influence here, and the first sales of the week were anywhere from 10c to 25c higher than the close of last week. A continued strong demand from outside sources maintained prices in their opening position practically throughout the week, but occasionally when packers were very indifferent and the supply was ample, to till shipping orders slight concessions were forced at the close of trade. Tncre was very little fluctuation, however, throughout the week, and at the close the average was nearly 20c higher than the close of last week for all light grades and fully 15c higher on heavies. The result of a better demand for the light weights has brought

the range In prices closer than for some time past. The receipts t-day Were very fair for Saturday In fact, larger than the average and with about 2,000 carried over yesterday the supply on sala was liberal. The market opened with rather active competition between packers and shippers, and the first sales indicated steady to strong prices compared with yesterday, with occasional transactions in light hogs considered 5c higher. After the first round there was a quiet spell, but later, with additional shipping orders, there was strong competition, and the closing prices were probably the highest of the day. The pens were well cleared. Sales ranged from $5.6") to $0.CO, and a very large proportion of the supply sold above $5.95.

last week, 00 over the same week a

year ago and 1.30") over the corresponding week two years ago. There is little improvement In the receipts thus far this year compared with the same period lapt year. Throughout the week there has been a good demand frr sheep and lambs from all sources and local butchers have purchased more than the u?ual number. With only moderate receipts the market was consequently Influenced by the Increased competition and responded with a good advance in prices, the average penrally being considered at least 25c higher than last week. The quality represented was fu'.ly as good and possibly better than recently and current prices the highest that have prevailed in this market since last April. At one time the latter part of the week the tendency was a little easier, but at the extreme close of the week prices were fully 5teady. Quite a number ef lambs were good enough to bring $5.5) and yearling sheep sold as high a $4.25.
