Bradstreet's Review Summary of December Trade Conditions
Bradstreet's notes December opening as favorable for trade and industry with high staple values, improved holiday demand, and wage gains boosting purchasing power for nearly 100,000 workers in New England. Cereal strength stems from reduced Northwest wheat receipts while cotton weakens and iron steel activity slows. Coal supplies tighten and wool remains strong as prices edge upward in London. Regional anecdotes from Chicago St Louis Taoulisville and Philadelphia point to peak holiday trade, higher hides, and wage strikes in weaving. Direct cotton shipments to Japan and India imply Indian crop shortages. Southern trade improves with Atlanta and New Orleans buoyed by gains in oyster and packing house demand.
