Pennsylvania which. he said. if allowed to
stand, would be one of the severest blows
which could be inflicted upon the rights of
organized labor. The decision questioned
their right to issue label certifying to the
character of the product hearing it In fact,
the decision of Judge Williams was, that in
asmuch as the wage workers did not own
product. they could not have a label certify
ing to the character of the labor employed in
its production. Attention was called to the
decision. because # upheld, it would render
nugatory all efforts to place a label on the
product Of union labor. The president urged
that the incoming officers be empowered to
fight that decision in the higher courts.

NEW YORK. December Or. g. Dun 4
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
As the end of the year approaches general
than the usual disposition to defer large
transactions until after stock taking and the
holidays.
1t is satisfactory to SEQ from nearly all
points reports which note the inactivity usual
at this season, also to observe the prevalent
and strong belief that business the coming
season will be unusually large and profitable.
Commercial credits and confidence are IN
satisfactory shape tor the transaction OF an
enormous business earlv next year.
At Chicago general trade Is a trif1e mar
rover for the week, but with good prospects.
Receipts of wheat and rye and dressed beef
are three times. and of corn double last

cent, and in cattle 10 per ceut.. while a slight
decrease appears in barley, a decrease of 10
per cent. IN lard. cheese and butter, and 80
per cent. in wool.
Collections are unusually large and money
is in good demand.
At St. Louis much strength is shown. par
ticularly in groceries, shoes oil aud drugs,
and the holiday trade is large.
At Kansas City trlde Is only fair for the
SedSOus TIE Car ldllIu0 CLcchIuS tuc SIoiu

The iron trade shows greater strength and
larger sales of pig than for a long time. but
extraordinary weakness Is seen In some OF
the finished products.
The sale of 100000 pounds of lake copper
for January delivery at 1O1a cents is followed
by offers of 1O14 cents. but lead is unchanged
and tin slightly higher.
The coal market is very irregular, and the
output 4.Gs9,593 tons greater thaa last year
year to date.
In boots and shoes there is much business,
but little noise.
In dry goods. clothlers are waiting and
very few orders have been placed for Decem-
Der, but the prospects are not unfavOrable.
Woods are steady. trade in cotton goods i'm
proving and print cloths firm.
Prices of breadstutfs have declined-wheat
IL cents, corn Z cents and oats pa cents,
while receipts continue large beyond prece-
dent.
Cotton receipts exceed last years and the

stronger; but the general level of prices has
fallen remarkably during the month thus far.

Awakened Intereae D." Hemisphere Trade.
WASHINGTON. DC, December 19.-William
E. Curtis, director of the bureau of Ameri-
can Republics, in his first annual report says
the immense number of applications re-
ceived for information about South Amer
lean countries give ample evidence of the
awakened interest in the commerce and con-
ditions OF nelghboring countries that is en-
coura2ing to those who are endeavOring to
promote the social and commercial relations
of American republics.
The report refers to the rapidly increasing
export trade to Central and South American
republics, and says that many United States
manufacturers, who never attempted to sell
merchandise in the southern continent, arc
now sending agents into those markets to in
troduce their goods. The merchants of Mex
leo, Central and South America, who hereto
fore purchased goods In Europe, exclusively,
are how coming to the United States.
The recently negotiated reciprocity arrange
ments, it is said, also afford them Opportun-
ties that arc beginning to be understood and
appreciated.
Mr.. Curtis refers to the work undertaken
by the bureau o: interesting the governments
and people of Latin America in the World 3
Columbian exposition. The invitation ex-
tended to them to participate in the exposi-
ton has, he says, been cordially accepted by
every repu bile and colony. Nearly every
one of the southern republics will erect upon
the exposition grounds a building of its own,
upon a design typical of its peculiar archi-
lecture, and surrounded by practical illustra-
tons of the life and industries of its people.
The bureau has been enabled to prepare
for exhibition at Chicago II historical coliec-
ton illustrative of the discovery, conquest
and settlement Of America, the colo
NAL period and the epoch of revolution for
Independence.
1t 10 also proposed, Mr.. Curtis says, to pre-
pare for the exposition q commercial exhibi-
ton illustrating the various classea of mer-
chandise best adapted to the wants and most
acceptable to the tastes of the consumers in
Mexico, Central and South America and the
West Indies. This exhibit, it is proposed. at

established either in Washington or New

English troops and hill men in India. He
said: 1.-The crisis is unusually alarming, for
the special reason that the blood of English
officers has been spilled in this skirmish near
Gilgit. To one not familiar with Anglo
Indlan history and spirit the gravity of such
a fact can hardly be explained. With the
blood of English officers already split, war
will follow any action save the most COM
pIete reparatiCn. The British empire is pre-
pared for war. 1t is SO prepared that no
