Bright Outlook for 1903. Herry Ces' Weekly market letter, dated New York, December 24, says: T;e year is closing in much better shaoe Ibaa cxprctea. Since the harvest, Improvement nas rrea so marked that much of the ground pxt C-rlns 4he -paalcky year of 1903 lias been i'-.ed. Railroad earnings, bank clearings. : -g irc-i production and other truetworthy ln- at-ra n tell the story of revival: and there lire no signs yet of the onward movement in raving; reached Its climax. The out- - k r-r 1905 is even brighten than that of PC i e Amy hlndrahco to activity being the f " te'-sal liigh level of prices. This would -ggm that it is time to call a halt wore it t.a owing to the National jrrowth our f!r:a::es are still unable to rncet demands.

Cable .advices to rj rcaler has created a feeling of Jublla ruUng a different complexion on the "-!al returns of the year's industry to that -h the most sanguine had anticipated. Irtr can be no doubt but that the limited "i. T"; of fur on the market, in consequence of c? tem porary suspension of the Japanese hunt- -S epe radons, has had an important Influence n aT ting quotations. The cables vow to st3te that the prices obtained for the ccs:: skins was 4 Cd. and for the Bering ifita skins 3 17b. This is about 10 per cent j h-v.er than the prices of lost year."

GOOD HEALTHY ADVANCE STOCKS MOVE UPWARD WITH NO REACTIONARY EFFECT. Money Remarkably Easy for This Time of Year Northern Securi ties at Top Point. NEW YORK, Dec 29. There -was another pretty comprehensive advance in prices of stocks today, and the movement was without any signs of speculative excitement or reac tionary consequences which usually follow traders buying for a turn. There was a plainly perceived scarcity of stocks, and' the buying was, therefore, easily cffecUve in lift ing prices, whatever the nature of the buying may be, whether for Investment in anticipa tion of funds to be made available by Janu ary disbursements, or for the benefit of mar ket quotations to be reported In forthcoming annual reports of financial Institutions, or to afford a favorable price level on which to meet the expected January Investment demand. The buying, while without animation, was per sistent at all price levels, and the advance In prioes which resulted met with no important obstaole in the way of selling orders. The tone of the money market -was pro nounced "very easy" today, which is a con dition unprecedented of lato years, with only two business days remaining to the end of the year. Reports were current that the long expected Southern Pacific refunding would be under taken at an early "date, and this view, coupled with the aggressive rise In Northern Secur ities on the curb to a new high record, was tho ground for advancing the Pacific and transcontinental group In concert. Amalga mated Copper was buoyant under the Joint Influence of a roarklng-up of crude copper, and the making ot a deposition in Butte by Mr. Helcxe that negotiations had been in progress between himself and Amalgamated Copper in terests. These and other specific 'Influences radiated a tjentlment for the advance through the rise, and in the lato dealings the market took on a semblance of buoyancy and closed strong. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $6,555,000. "United States 2s and old 4a ad vanced per cent oh call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid. Atchison do preferred Atlantic Coast Line.

(Special.) Rain In California and an opening break in Chicago caused earfer speculative prices forSfeat dur ing the early trading, but the subsequent rapid advance In, Chicago led to a full recovery. Prospects of more rain made a weaker closing. Spot wheat was steady. Despite rain and holiday Influences, barley1 continued firm, but trade was quieter. Oats were firm and more active. Flour and feedstuffs were steady. Grain freights here are at a etandstlll, with no inquiry for European loading, and rates are nominal at about 15s. There is "a lack of chartering for new-crop loading, as exporters are waiting for definite knowledge about the next crop. The prospects now favor a larger crop than last year. Inclement weather restricted business In the fruit market. Some daH5r reported a better feeling in the cheope'r grades of oronRes, with a steady reduction of stock;. A few fancy brands also move well. Apples, while not active, are gradually cleaning up, as receipts are lighter. The potato market was moderately acttvo and steady for all grades. Fancy Burbanks were In limited supply and firm.. Sweets were easier. Onions still have a declining tendency. Receipts of tomatoes, beans and peas from the South 3re much larger, and prices weaker. Dressed turkeys were steady, but an abund ance of chilled stock prevents a rise in fresh goods. Dairy products . were dull.

Government Report on Crop of 1904 Disappoints Bull Traders Good Demand Later. CHICAGO, Dec 29. Strength in cheat de veloped late In the day. The Government re port giving final figures on the crop of 1904 was considerable of a disappointment to bull traders, and In consequence, when, trading be gan, the pit was flooded with selling orders. Those who had bought confidently yesterday on tho expectation that the report would be bullish were anxious sellers. Predictions had been freely made that the official flgurea would not show over 500.000.000 Dushels as tho total yield of wheat grown In the United States during 1904. It was a distinct surprise to many operators that the Government experts estimated the total at 552.000.000 bushels. The reception given the report was manifested by sharp Initial declines. A break of a penny at Liverpool had a weakening Influence on prlcea here The market soon recovered a por tion of th.e early loss, however, on moderate covering by shorts. There was also some buy ing on an Argentine cable claiming that new crop arrivals were of poor quality. Brad street'a estimate of a decrease of 710.000 bushels in the world's visible supply, instead of an increase anticipated, was a decisive fac tor contributing to bullish sentiment. There was a sharp advance late. In the day, 'as a result of excellent demand. One of the bull leaders was a conspicuous buyer. May sold up to $1.14. The market held firm the last of the session, the close being almost at the high est point Final figures for May wero $1.143s. a gain of ?4c. Weakness of wheat had some effect on the corn market early In the day. May closed un changed at 43ajc Trading in oats was of a scalping character, and prices showed only slight fluctuations. May closed at 31c. At the opening sentiment In the provision market was quite firm, as a result of de creased receipts of hogs. At tho close May pork was off 57c. at $2.

Kuropatkin Wants Good Soldiers. MOSCOW, Dec. 29. M. Danchenko. the well-known newspaper correspondent, telegraphs an Interview which he had with General Kuropatkin. lie declares the commander-in-chlei Is In fine physi cal condition, always sanguine and now absolutely convinced, of ultimate victory. Kuropatkin, Danchenko says, looks and act as he did before Plevna. "Let them send me good soldiers," "the General Is quoted as saying, "and I will accomplish the task. Examine tho con opkins & Qo. dition of tho troops. You will see a great change since the Autumn. "Write the facts. It is better that the people at home should know the truth than hear praise on one side and slander on the other Tho troops are in good spirits and well sheltered and clothed. There are some deficiencies, but I am more than satisfied. The health of the men la splen did. The percentage of sickness is less than in time of peace, which Is attribut able to good air and the absence of the evils of barrack life." BEST CHAUCE IN BIG CITIES. Teachers Advised by Ex-Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff. CHICAGO. Dec. 29. Timothy jU Wood ruff, ex-LJeutenant-Governor of New York. In a speech delivered at the Na tional convention of the Commercial and Shorthand Teachers Association last night, said that the large cities furnished the opportunities and that the teachers should make their fight for success in cit ies like New York and Chicago, "The opportunities that present them selves to young men and young women in all the great centers of population are abundant today," he said. "If a young jnan or young woman Is earnest of purpose and diligent. Is it not wiser to seek a thing where it abounds, even if competition, for it Is great, rather than to seek it where competition is less, but where it may not exist at all?" "The real secret of success," he con tinued, "in commercial life lies in willing ness and In an effort to do something more than merely perform the routine work demanded of the position. "Among all of the opportunities which this country affords, none comes more frequently or with greater promise than those which are within the grasp ot the stenographer or the typewritiat."
