DUN'S REVIEW

OF Trade for the Week just Past-Trade
Dull on Account of the Years End.
New YORK, December 1s.-R. G.
Dun Il Co.'S weekly review for the week
says: As the end OF the year approaches
general trade slackens, and there Is
perhaps not more than the usual dispo-
sition 10 defer large transactions until
after stock taking and the holidays.
1t is satisfactory TO see from nearly
all points the reports which note the
inactivity usual at this season also OBJ
serve prevalent and strong belief that
the business OF the coming season will
be unusually large and profitable. Com
mercial credits and confidence are In =
satisfactory shape for the transaction
OF an enormous business early next
year.
At Plttsbuag iron seems little sitter
and an advance In window glass Is
looked for. The iron trade shows great
or strength and larger sales OF pig than
for long time, but extraordinary weak
ness Is seen in some finished products.
A sale OF 1000, 900 pounds OF lake cop
per for January delivery at ten aud a
half cents Is followed by offers az ten
aud quarter cents, but lead Is un-
changed and tin slightly higher.
Tho coal market Is very Irregular,
and the output 4.030,5e3 tons greater
than last year % date. Excepting az a
few places the money makets through
out the country are well supplied.
The business failures occurring
throughout the county during the last
seven days number 33j compared with
800 last week, aud for the same week
last year 40i.

PITTsBURG, PA, December 19.-Sec-
retary Scandrett, of the Pittsburg club,
arrived home from indianapolis this
morning.
"It's all arranged" said he, land
Pittsburg didn't get any the worst OF 1t,
can assure you. How about players?
Well, we put in reserve list OF IL OF
our old men, ard also laid claim TO three
players who were put into the pool for
distribution. By agreement each club,
for the present, can sign Is men, but
after the pool is distributed, why they
can sign 90 il they desire. Yes, Farrell
is one Of the players we claimed, and 1
hope the report is true that we have
been given him. The others will
strengthen US in the outfeld and catch
ing department.
"Denny Lyons" had not signed with
the Chicago Association club, so he
wired me yesterday, and was not in the
pool. All the players are being distrlb-
uted by Messrs. Young and Phelps. No
will play here. The League will as
sumo the personal contracts Of Rusie,
So, 200; Pfeffer, $1,000; Richardson, 81
900, and Conner, $4,000, and the club
that takes them must pay that salary.
"If no club wants them at that price
they will be bid for and the League
must make up the difference in the SAL
airy. The old Pittsburg man will not
need to sign new contracts.
1.-THE so per cent. gate receipt plan
cannot be changed unless by unanimous
consent of the ~ clubs. Pittsburg will
still charge 80 cents general admission,
but there will be special 25 cent seats in
the outfeld."
