Depressed The Bonds. The Syndicated Profit on the Gold Bonds Cut Off New York, Dee 27 -The banking firm in charge of the government bond syndicate has sent out the following notice to members : "The action of the United States Treasury on currency questions having stopped progress iu tbe sale of bonds for the accouut of the five per cent bonds syndicate, and the eriod of thirty days mentioned iu the notice of November 2, having expired, the syn? dicate is dissolved." The agitation about currency reform and the number of peculiar suggestions made by certain government officials and members of Congress, it is said, has weakened the market for govern? ment bonds generally and the price for the new fives has in consequence been depressed below the syndicate figures. The syndicate disposed of 35 per cent, of tbe issue and the remaining 65 per cent, was divided among the mem? bers. Bradstreet's Report, NEW YOBS, December 18 -Brad? street's to-morrow will say : Geoeral trade presents the usual holiday characteristics. A majority of the wholesale dealers and manufacturers are beginning or have finished taking ac? count of stock or arranging settlemeurs for the new year. ' The main activity has been for Christmas specialties iu retail lines. The practical conclusion of the holiday trade has brought about a moderate reaction, and this empha? sizes the dullness noted in preceding weeks. Jobbers claim the outlook for trade during the late winter and early spring ?9 for very conservative buying. But in some lines, notably, however, tex? tiles, recent cold weather bas stimulated sales, and reports from retailers West and Sooth indicate that stocks are low, almost beyond precedent. This is taken as indicative of a better merchan? dise trade ia the near future* than for several years past. Travelling sales? men, with few exceptions, are off tbe road Merchants generally incline to the view that 1895 promises a favorable business, although, as indicated, opin? ion is divided as to whether renewed activity w 141 mark the early months of the coming year or not. Industries are shot down in many instances to make repairs and take s'ock. and owing to extreme low pri?es for industrial staples the wage move? ment tends downward. Quotations for staple merchandise show much firmness, with sugar, cotton, wheat, corn, steel, naval stores, tobacco, tin and copper practically unchanged in prices. Coffee is depressed and there are rumors cf contracts for iron and steel at a shade under last week's quotations although unconfirmed. Southern cities uniformly report a very quiet trade in jobbing lines. Charleston, Savannah and Augusta re? port collections slow, but at Nashville, where merchants regard prospects for spring business reasonably good, collec? tions are fair. Manufacturers at At? lanta are doing little and Chattanooga jobbers likewise A moderately im? proved demand for funds is announced from Memphis and at New Orleans the only gaiB is a better feeling in the rice market. Galveston notes the excep? tion with an improvement expected shortly after January 1 and wholesale merchants in nearly all lines sending out travellers. An effort is being made to collect corn and other provisions in the South to seud to the starving people in Ne? braska. The railroads have offered to haul all contributions free of charge. A negro girl of Parksville, Edgefield County, has confessed that she and a number of other negroes were concern? ed in a plot to burn the houses of the white people of that neighborhood. The papers io Alabama have entered into an agreement not to publish the sayings and doings of Reuben Kolb. As Koib's organ at Birmingham is de? funct what will the Captain now do for free advertising ? It is said that Robert Louis Steven? son, whose death wa? recently reported, made ?200,000 by his pen after he went to Samoa He was paid $10 000 for bis newspaper letters from the south seas Now that the bicycle is reducing the value of horses, it may be of interest to koow that at a banquet in Newark, N.
