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.

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.
