Dun & Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Violent fluctuations in cotton and uncertainty retarding the situation in the far East were the only significant factors in the business situation during the holiday week. Numerous expressions f care are heard regarding the future, however, especially at the West and South. Manufacturing plants have taken a longer vacation than last year, but many announce resumption of work on Monday. Textile mills are confronted with a lack of proper proportion between prices of raw material and finished products, and it is evident that costs of production must be held down in some way or much machinery will become idle. Transportation lines are well engaged in handling grain, live stock, fuel and lumber, while earnings thus far reported for December exceed the previous year an average Of VC per cent. Few new contracts for iron and steel are reported, yet the general level of quotations is fairly maintained and better conditions are expected early in M04. Several special transactions are reported in billets and wire rods at concessions, but these do not affect list ngures. Much irregularity and activity is reported in the markets for minor metals, which are chiefly responsive to speculative operations at London. Despite a sharp break in the foreign markets. tin closed the week with a net gain, and copper Is also stronger because of increased interests abroad. All previous records of footwear forwardei from Boston were far eclipsed during the past year, and there was an even more notable Increase In production elsewhere. Only steadiness can be recorded as to Chicago packer hides, further a.hanres being checked by the diminution of purchases. As to textiles the week has only augmented unsettled conditions, especially as to cotton goods. In response to the rise of raw material sellers advanced prices, but buyers exhihlted their customary reserve regarding new business, and the week's trading remained within s narrow limit. In thjf woolen division new lines of overcoatings continue In moderate demand. Firmness Is still the feature in wool. Jobbing trade in dry goods is seasonably quiet. Failures this week numbered 239 in the United States, against 2H last year, and in Canada seventeen, compared with eight a year ago. WESTERN COAL TRADE. Condiiiuna Somewhat Ilctter. Though lln'lroailM Suffer Some. CHICAGO. Jan. 1. The Hiack Diamond, official organ of tjie coal industry, reviewing ths Western trade this week, says: "Condi t tors in the coal business, ss to the demand for spot supplies and in the range of prevailing prices, are some better the present week. The closing down of the mines over the Christ-' holidays reduced the production of all deof coal, with tr , it that .Ionian 1 has shown a quickening tendency. In all probability the improvement referred to has been accelerated by the rather inclement weather which has prevailed. The latter part of last week was severely cold, increasing the con sumpi n of domestic furnaces, while the snows the early part of the present week have im peded transportation, making it impossible to get cars through a moNed la the past railroads are sun, to the fact that tl s promptly as the have been it may also be n ted that -ring to some extent, owing iter opcueu earner than osual and their equip to a constant h-a S ture As pro.f of this to visit almost anj c cago or in other iarg their retord of car m r.t hus tH-'-tx subjected i In In a lower temperaact it is only necessary -shipping orhVe in hlities and look through -ment.

DEALING IS NOT SHARP

CATTLF. MHKF.T (iROWS K1KKR VITH mOMMASUm sUMSsHFTS. No Competition Hetwoen Hoyera and More Time Reqnlred for Sales Feeding Cattle Not in Demand. TNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1.--Cattle Receipts, 950; shipments. i50. It appears that the receipts of cattle. espedally steers, are again becoming something near the requirements of buyers, and naturally the mark et has commenced to develop some weakneM. There was not the competition between bajrfgs to-day that there has been for several days past. and. therefore, It required more time to consummate sales. Occasionally steers that were fully up to the standard in quality, welpht and condition sold at what appeared to be nearly steady prices, but in a general way sales weie reported weaker, and a number of transactions were admitted to be 10c lower than equal knds sold yesterday. The country demand for feeding cattle was rather disappointing, and this also dampened the request from professional buyers, which caused rather a slow trade In this department and it wan difficult to gt steady prices for any part of the supply. In the female butcher cattle market the demand was again very strong, and. on account of the continued small supplies, prices thus far this week have made very good gain. General sales to-day were probably not a great deal higher than yesterday, but in a few cases at least dealers quoted an advance of fully 10c, and representative sales indicate that both cows and heifers have sold up about 25c for the week. There was a steady market for bulls to-day, and calves also sold usually at yesterday's prices. Quotations: Steers.

Probably In anticipation of a short supply and fear that all orders could not be executed, the hog market this nornlng opened with strong competition between packers and shippers, and the trading was active at Ptrong to higher prices. The demand was strongest for the light weights, and In a number of cases they were considered 10c higher, but the heavy hogs were probably not to exceed 5c higher In any case, and the extreme price was the same as at the close yesterday. Before all of the morning receipts had changed hands it was evident that the demand was being accommodated, and buyetg finally began complaining of the high prices they SrSSS being forced to pay, and later withdrew from the market, leaving several loads unsold. For a time there was practically no business transacted and. an salesmen expressed It. they were unable to "turn a wheel." but packers were finally persuaded to come into the market again, and about the usual clearance was made. There was no competition whatever on the later market, however, and closing prices were In no case any better than yesterday morning, indicating that all the early gain in prices had been lost. The extreme range In sales was from $4.60 to $5, and the bulk of the supply sold at $4-7594.95.

LIGHT SPECULATION Results from Tiaht Money Plan., for Flotations. NEW YORK. Jan. 1. Tightness in the money markt. with the year-end preparation for the annual settlements, has put a stop to speculative activity in stocks and has halted the advance In prices. Such light speculative liquidation as resulted has caused only slight reactions in prices and the market has held quite Arm. The great interests among banks and capitalists are believed to stand behind the market, and their support is attributed to plans for flotation of new bonds after the first of the year and a desire to Improve the Jan. 1 showing of Investment vslues. It Is deemed probable also that there has been some speculative accumulation and bidding up of prices with a view to BS -ting a hoped-tor January demand for stocks. Wool. BOSTON. Jan. 1 The Commercial Rulletin will say Saturday: "The wool market is steady and Arm. Business has nt been active, but for the closing days of the year sales are quite arge, the demand since Tuesday being very good. Tight money has a restraining influence. With any success in the opening of new heavyweight goods and with easier money, there should be improvement in the demand early this year. The mills are carrying comparatively light stocks, much less than at the beginning of l'tiS. The news from foreign markets continues bullish There has Ix-en a further advance at MUMS Ayres on active buying. Active stools' are a farthing higher this week In English markets.

MR. MURRAY'S PROMOTION

HIS SELECTION S PRESIDE HI OF I. fc O. II FA KT IL Y arTBtYSO. The Miu Fonr and Frie Form a Traffic Alliance Numerous Oftleial limine with the New 1 cur. The appointment of Oscar G. Murray, who has bMn first vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company since the road emerged from the receivership, as president of the company, meets with hearty approval in both Western and Eastern passenger circles. Probably there never has been an official who was more highly esteemed by those with whom he was brought in contact than was Mr. Murray. The announcement of his election as president of the company was received with much gratificati'Hi by all who have ever been acquainted with him and if they had put it to a vote of the employes of the company Mr. Murray would have been elected unanimously. Since his election he has received letters of congratulation from railroad officials high In authority and from business men generally. He is considered a broad-minded, conservative and fair man In handling railroad affairs. His long experience brings him in close touch with every feature of railroading. He was elected vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio Feb. 15, 1896. Mr. Murray entered railroad service in January, 1872, as ticket agent of the Galveston, Houston & Henderson Railroad at Galveston. Tex. He rose to the position of general freight and passenger agent of the same road, and in August. 1880, became freight and passenger agent of the Gulf, Colorado & Sante Fe. From Dec. 1, 1885, to Sept. 5, 1886, he was traffic manager or the Missouri Pacific in Texas and in 18ss he was made freight traffic manager of all the Missouri Pacific lines with headquarters at St. Louis. On Nov. 1. 1888. he became freight traffic manager of the Big Four, later taking the second vice presidency of the Big Four, and on Feb. 15, 1896, he resigned to become first vice president of the Bultimore & Ohio. Chiongo & Alton a Disturbing; Clement Trouble is expected among the transcontinental lines over the personally-conducted excursion tangle, and it Is probable the Transcontinental Passenger Association may suffer serious defection from its ranks as a result of the misunderstanding. The action of the Chicago & Alton in announcing its determination to continue its personally-conducted excursions in the face of the agreement of the transcontinental lines to abolish them has brought matters to a crisis and involves the lines from all the important points in the middle West to the Pacific coast, as well as the St. Paul lines, which have arranged for tourist excursions to California. The disagreement had its inception in the action of the Western lines in issuing peremptory orders to the passenger departments that a harmonious arrangement must be entered into by the roads on the personally-conducted excursion issue. The Western roads argued that they did not consider it good railroading to send coaches to the Pacific coast filled or half filled and then return them 2,500 miles free of charge. It is stated that nearly every line west of the Mississippi river and a few lines east of the river have announced combination rates to California, with through car service in charge of a representative acting for all the lines the cars puss over. Hin Four-Krie Alliance. An alliance of the Hig Four and the Erie in the matter of passenger traffic to the exposition in St. Louis the coming summer is announced by officials of the roads. The alliance has been confidently expected for some weeks, but not until now have the negotiations reached such a point as to warrant publicity. While the only visible effect of the alliance is that the Brie will turn its passenger busines to the Big Pour at one or two convenient junction points, it is expected It will result in a more extended community of interests between the two roads. The agreement entered into will tend greatly to perpetuate the good feeling which now exists. Whether this agreement will affect the determination of the Erie to build a cutoff between Cleveland and Marlon the coming summer is not known. It is understood that overtures were made by the Erie to the Big Four looking to the use by the former of the Vanderbilt tracks In order to place Cleveland on the main line, but nothing definite has beeu doue in the matter. Personal, Loenl and General Notes. Ford Wood, general freight agent of the Peoria & Eastern, has just completed his thirty-third year on that road, he commencing with it Jan. 1, 1S71. Beginning Jan. 11, trainH Nos. 31 and 34, Seaboard Floride limited and Seaboard Xew York limited, will be made solid Pullman traius and will carry no coaches. Shopmen of the Pennsylvania lines, west, who have been working eight hours, will to-day In gin workiug nine hours, so heavy is the work on hand needing attention. C. S. Blackman, general Eastern passenger agent of the Big Four, who has been spending the holidays with friends in the West, has returned to Buftulo, his headquarters. It is stated that the Erie is negotiating for control of the Detroit Southern, which would let the Erie have the benefit of reaching the excellent coal mines touched by the former. State Commissioner Morris, of Ohio, has given instructions that an interlocking plant be constructed at Milford, O., the crossing of the Big Four, the Pennsylvania and the Detroit Southern. W. H. Young has been appointed traveling freight agent of the Lehigh & Wabash Dispatch. He has represented the line at Lafayette, and now goes to Toledo, where the Dispatch has established an important office. T. S. Houston, who has been special officer on the Hocking Valley road for a number of years, has been appointed general yardmaster of the K. & ML division, with headquarters at Hobson, O., vice P. L. Rousch, resigned. J. W. Leonard has resigned as assistant to the general manager of the Canadian Pacific and retired from the position yesterday. His duties will hereafter be looked after by William Whyte, who was recently elected vice president of the company. The regular bi-monthly meeting of the Central Freight Association has been called for Jan. 12-14 at Chicago. The docket has been prepared showing the advance proposed In rates, and will be ready for distribution to freight officials within a day or two. It is stated that the appointment of J. H. Graham as chief engineer of the Erie RailFoad means the beginning of the fourtracking of that road as far as HornellsviHc. three-t racking it to Salamanca and double-tracking of the remainder of the line. The Wabash chief engineer has been instructed to prepare plans for new depots at Peru. Logansport and Coleman, and th' chief engineer has suggested that $50,u0 be set aside for this purposs, J25.U00 of the amount to be used in the erecting of a depot at Peru. An official of the Pere Marquette states that the entrance of the road into Buffalo over its own track through a lease may not go into effect until spring. General Superintendent Smith says it Is impossible to definitely state when the arrangement will become effective. The St. Louis Association of General Passenger and Ticket Ag-:its has asked the privilege of handling the business at the St. Louis Terminal for all the roads during the exposition. MM so far as the Central Passenger Association is concerned this request hns been granted. The Big Four has issued its first folder made to advertise the road's St. Louis connections and to attract attention to the exposition at that city, begiuning April 1. The folder is decorated with a large number of engravings, illustrations of buildings and views from the exposition grounds. W. W. Cargill announces that the sale of the Pine Bluff & Western Railroad to the Gould interests went into effect Thursday. The road is forty-two miles long and runs from Pine P.luff to Benton. Ark. It was reported some time ago that the road had been sold to the Rock Island system. When C. S. Mellen, president of the New lurk, liavstt et l-Urtiuid, kit St

Rehard has been appointed agent at Bunker Hill, Ind., vice Mr. F. W. Wolfe, transferred to agent at Wolcott, Ind., W. F. Brucker, agent at Wolcott, Ind., having resigned. The removal of the division headquarters of the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville from Richmond to Peru yesterday will prove quite a boon to the latter city. The new shops located there are practically complete, a large per cent, of the machinery is In position and when in operation the road will give employment to 200 men. R. C. Vilas, who died on Wednesday at his home in Chicago, seven years ago retired from the position of freight traffic manager of the Erie, aged sixty-one yc:rs. He was well known in Indianapolis freight circles through his association with T. A. Lewis, western manager of the Erie Despatch up to the time of his death. C. W. Coleman, who has been the local agent in Cleveland for the Erie for twenty-two years, has been transferred to Newburg. O., where he takes charge of the company's business, M. M. North, who has been in charge at Newburg, goes to Youngstown, and F. McLaughlin, who has been at Youngstown, takes Mr. Coleman's place at Cleveland. Since completing its Springfield extension, the Indiana, Decatur & Western division of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has become quite an important live stock road. On Wednesday it brought in from connections thirty-one carloads of live stock for the Union stockyards at Indianapolis, and is daily bringing in a considerable number of carloads of live stock. It is understood that the Interstate-commerce Commission will take a hand in the per diem system as far as demurrage charges are concerned. Complaints have been made to the commission regarding unfair demurrage charges where there are delays in unloading cars, and a ruling is asked as to the right of a railroad to exact demurrage charges on private cars unloaded on private switches. Officials of Western railroads are disturbed over the Chicago Great Western's cut in rates from the Missouri river to the Atlantic seaboard on grain for export. Chairman Mahoney has Issued a special call for a meeting of traffic officials of all Western lines. Should the Chicago Great Western persist in its present course the lines to the Atlantic coast will be forced to meet the cut. Without building a mile of road the Rock Island-' Frisco system has secured entrance to New Orleans by contracting for the use of 340 miles of the Mobile & Ohio and N m Orleaus & Northeastern tracks. The distance from Memphis to New Orleans by this route Is 445 mibs. or forty-nine miles further than the Illinois Central, and some forty milei greater distance than the line which the St. Louis & San Francisco had proposed io build. As the Toledo. St. Louis & Western Is about to change hands a good deal tf Interest is taken in the future of the road. It is only a question of time when the property will find a permanent home with one of the large systams. The road is 4Ö0 miles long, is almost an air Hue between Toledo and St. Louis, and has good terminals in both cities. It Is a road of considerable im portance in a strategic sense, and should it fall into the ownership of any but conserva tive men might cost competing lines a good deal of money. Vice President W. C. Brown, in speaking of the reports of changes on th Vanderbilt lines, stated th.U so tar i- any prop sed changes iu the executive offices of the Vanderbilt system were concerned he kn w nothing about any such lnt ntnm. He denied emphatically the statement that W. K. Vanderbilt had not treated his officials fairly or given them scope or opportunity for exploiting the possibility of the system. On the contrary, he said, the case was Just the reverse. Another railroad official of the Vanderbilt lines calls attention to the x-lea.-ive improvements and enormous outlay of money which huve been made on the Vanderbilt properties since V. H. Newman accepted the presidency and W. C. Brown took control of the management us vice presidwut
