HENRY CLEirS FrXANCIAE RE
VIEW.
New York, Deo. 29.—On Wall street
the close of the year is rather an oc
casion for retrospect than for business,
year’s retrospect wus fair from
a eVerful • :;r; this y.-or’H is n <
mifeh more so. 1893 was a year of un
welcome causes; 1894 has been one of
very unsatisfactory effects; 1895, it may
be reasonably hoped, ‘Will be one of re
covery ftun both.
It Is molt often that sucih a series ctf
untoward taverns come together in such
a comparatively brief period. Through
both years ove (have suffered from the
effects of a great and universal indus
trial reaction. Frotm causes dating
back to the general tmtroduetlon of
sLearn and mechanical Improvements
the world has been working towards an
enormous increase <tf ail the forms of
pktnft, and R wa© only a question of
time when that growth of productive
power would doveflop ino a supply of
products exceeding -the world’s ability
to consume. That position of affairs
roachd Europe In 1890 and flret ex
pressed itself in tthe Baring faiDure.
Three years l.Tter the crisis reached
rhe United Stales, and ithe scare cre
ated by our silver Inflation was the
match to ftart a great explosion. Be
cause ihc match happened to he a cur
rency Incident, and therefore affected
first otid espoc&Ufly «thc banks, w&
retarded the whole trouble as tracea
ble to bad silver legislation; during
the past year, ’however, we have dis
covered that 'the most stubborn ele
ment of tche depression has been a wdl-
cail want of proportion between the
ability to produce and the ability to
consume. It is through the many and
deeip-ssated derangement which a dis
turbance of this complex nature brings
that wo have 'been suffering for the
past year. Concurrency with 'that con
dition we have undiirta-ken legislation
breaking up the old relations between
our domestic manufacturers and our
foreign commerce, which has sur-
rauded our imdUHnries with new and
perplexing difllculiies.
Added ito '.this has ailsen a dlSiurfb’nls:
gold ques lon, SavolvUuc the ability of
the treasury to maintain the converta-
b1l!ity of 4.8 500 millions of demand
notes. The banks anC the Rovarnnutn't
have become an'taisronCtaric. comro -titi-rs
Oor the metal, and in the conflict the
position of the treasury has become
more and mbe Involved, and at the end
of the year f a way out of Vs (Utileul-
tlea ia less clear than it was w\t tlv? be-
glmdn-T. Atlaira aoto&s tCie Atlantic
hive done noth tog to afford relief on
this sikle of ithe ocean. The death of
the czar, the war between China and
Japan and the Armenian aitroci'LV’s hu ve
ccmblned to create a o-oll deal situation
full of dangerous poNaiMIt.ue© to tho
peace of the Old World. With toe spir
it “otf distrust .'hus excjtod on the Euro
pean financial markets our 1nten®.s
abroad have simDathized. The position
of -the 'treasury and ithe pending od.lius -
mttnta of the affairs of great bankrupt
railroad corporations Wave nffoniled nu-
briiinen't tor this spii:6‘. ctf d-Simst among
our European creditors, and considera
ble amoun'is of securhities have been
returned home, with consequent large
export© of gold. Whioli have aggravated
our domce tc gold darungamonts.
It is rarely theJt stidh a ciD-mpllea-
t»n of Persia*ont troubles has bafiaY.vn
Wall Sareat vniterests. None of uhiem
are of a kind to yield much to the or
dinary methods bf artificial relief: motft
of than inus. wait <for 'tftaa rcaidiust-
menlts of time and natural reacitic-n.
We have, thereifore, had K'.-tle recourse,
but to sit © ill and wait unWI the troub
les worked out their own cure. Such a
B.tuoi.ton could not fall tia ctoaite stag-
na-n'ey «f WDUal, (oostponiement of en

HUBBARD. PRICE & CO.’S LETTER
New Y<irk, Dec. 30.—The following
is the cotton jotter issued by Hubbard,
Price & Co. today:
With toe ajpproach of the new year
the tendency on the part of operators
here has been to await the movement
df January with as small an interest in
the market as posstbre, as this season
of the y<mr Is away© a critical time In
the movement of prices. On one tend
Is advanced the theory thait the price
has already discounted a 9,500,000 bale
crop, with the knowledge that in all
human pnobablU’ty the acreage for the
earning year will be largely reduced
and that *he use of fertilisers will be
greaitly curtnttied. While on the other
hand St Is eta 1 ted tha't the lack of spec-
ul'JiMon In all commodities in America,
and She fact that by <tho 1st of Jan
uary there will he 6,900.000 hales of
American coritom in night, which, ad
ded to the visible supply on the 1st
of September, will furnish 8,500,000
bales for the consumption of the world
during the yew .will leave the re
maining peg*ulon of the crop ns yet un
marketed to be canled over os a sur
plus either In the visible or invisible
supply. These nre the lines of thought
hi the minds of -members a? toe cotton
trade as they consider the question of
the fluctuottlona of the market for the
earning year; and neither of these
proposition© at <ho moment seems -to
be of miffloleirtt weight tr> bring at»ut,
n sudden change !n values, and they
*ire a© yet undecfdtd whether the fail-
Ing off In the last week of December is
only a spasmodic interruption of the
marketing of the crop or is brought
about by exhaustion of the supply.
Were 9t ntot for the present trade con
ditions In America, where the prices
of all ooanmodittes arc upon an ex
tremely low level; we believe that the
cotton tirade would be disposed to took
for a *harp advance, ns a result of the
efforts which wifi undoubtedly be made
to rossrict »the planting operations in
the spring, but those who •eWnfc well of
cotton are confronted wtth the fact
that ell other amides are similarly
cheap, snd that there op pears in no
line any anxiety to anticipate the fu
ture ©Tints of consumers. It is this
feature which dlsoounages the hold
ers ctf carton ,as otherwise they would
consider the 6lze of the crop as having
been discounted in toe prices ot (pres
ent current. On tlie other Stand, there
i© undoubtedly a slow increasing de
mand on the port of many not con
nected -wlito too co’Jton U*ade to invest
in cotton. At present this demand, wtth
no- pressure in »tlhe direction icxf any
further decline, causes steady markets
and improved prices, it is felt that
throughout 'the country there is tv slow
improvement in 'trade, which Is reflect
ed in the Increased railway earnings
of all sections of 'the country east of
the Mississippi river, but aa yet ihls
Jmppovomewt In business has not led
merohuin'ts to anticipate any advance
in toe .price of. the commodities which
they handle, and is considered by all
ns pointing early to tho improvement
In trade Just nctod. Itt has been th©
feature of the eltuaitian upon Which
the basis of toe demand for cotton by
those not directly connected with the
trade lias rested. The strCngh iff this
demaind will bo tested Should -the move
ment during January lucres*© m the
proportions expected by close observ
ers, as up to this time the ©pinners of
the twortd hawe come to toe relief ot toe
market and absorbed all of tho cotton
pressing for sale, so 'thait the visible
supply at toe present iCIme is only
100,000 bale© In excess of what it wa©
last year, in spite of the fact tn»at 1,250.-
000 more bales -of cotton had appeared
up to last week than in 1S93.
GRAIN AND PROVlSIONa
Chicago, Dec. 29.—Another break in
wheat was looked for this morning and
for a time there seemed every probability
that .expectations would be realized. At
tho opening there was quite <a good trade,
although it was for the most part local.
Considerable long wheat camo out and
shorts were the best buyers. At 67 for
May—the low point of the day—there wus
about 250,000 bushels Bold, but It was tak
en unhesitatingly, leaving the impression
that buying orders at that price were nu
merous. The burning of an elevator at
Toledo, O., (the Dayton “B") and further
talk of quarantine against Buenos Ayres
were the items that were credited with
turning the market. In tho elevator men
tioned there were 550,000 bushels of No. 2
soft wheat, the destruction of which will
cut quite a figure in the visible supply.
Short wheat was covered liberally during
the latter portion of the session, result
ing In a good rally, with prices closing at
the outside. May wheat opene dfrom 57*4
to 5714, sold between 57 and 57%. closing
at the latter—<4 of a cent higher than
yesterday. Cash wheat was quiet and
unchanged.
Corn.—The situation In corn was with
out interest and business was principally
of the scalping kind, with wheat /red
ing the course. At the opening the mar.
ket was weak, then it became stronger
and finally ruled steady to firm. May
corn opened at 43, sold between 47"mu4S
and 48',4, closing at 4SHa*/4, unchanged
from yesterday. Cash corn was dull and
unchanged.
Oats were dull and inactive, declining
and rallying with simlar action in wheat
and corn. May closed at 31%, a shado
higher than yesterday. Cash oats were
steady at yesterday’s prices.
Provisions.—The energies of yesterday’s
buyers was devoted to selling their hold
ings with as little loss as possible today.
The packers helped prices to i^ove down
ward without disposing of any noted
amount of property. It was an unim
portant trade and prices closed easy with
May pork 7% conts under yesterday, May
lard and May ribs 2V&15 conts lower than
yesterday.
