THE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.

Reports from all over the country indi-
cate that Christmas was observed even m ore
than usual. The weather at nearly ali
points was very cold, and in many places
snow fell all day.
The newspapers and merchants of Pitts.
burg raised a handsome fund for the suffer.

clothing, supplies and toys were distributed
there to the starving families, making their
Christmas happy one.
CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK.
Just enough snow fell to prevent New
Workers having a green Christmas. The
churches were never so thronged at Christ-
mas services as they were to-day. Special
services were held in all Roman Catholic and
Episcopal churches and in most OF the
churches OF the other denominations, Many
churches were beautifully decorated and in
nearly all there was special musical pro-
gramme. At all the p isons, mission houses
and charitable institutions substantial
Christmas dinners were served 10 the in,

IT WAS A PROSPE ROUS YEAR.
THE END OF 1892 FINDS
Businets Unusually Good. A Concise
Review Of the Condition of Trade
All over the Country.

r. g. Dun & Cos Weekly Review Of
Trade says. The most prosperous year
ever known in business closes to-day with
strongly favorable indications for the future.
From nearly all points comes the report
that the holiday trade has been the largest
ever known and wholesale trade IS re-
markably large Settlements through clear
ing houses, outside of New York, in Deem.
"r were npf arently the largest ever mado
any month, exceeding last years by more
Ian 10 per cent For the year the volume
is also about 10 per cent. larger than last
year, and the largest ever known. Railroad
earnings in December show an increase of
about per cent. over last year, and for the
year an increase Of about SIS per cent. For
eign trade has been smaller than last year

s O000 in value. and cotton exports about
$l0,00o,000 less, but imports Mt New York
have been not far from sT0, ,0OO, 600 for the
past four weeks with the largest imports
and the largest total of exports and imports
ever known in any year.
Unprecedented purchases for consnmp-
,ion have resulted in 1892 from the unequal
ed crops Of 1891. so HAT manufacturers have
made extraordinary progress. The year
closes with all woolen, cotton and silk ma
chinery fully employed, and unsold stocks
OF goods much lighter than usual while the
demand for the coming, season already ex-
ceeds the capacity of many mills. The orders
booked for the season in dry goods are ex-
,faordinary, while cotton goods are strong,
with a tendency TO higher prices. sa'es OF
wool at the chief markets have been 30),-
100000 cunds, against 2i6, OOO,O 600 last year,
and foreign imports have been the largest
ever known.
The mole'ary conference has passed for
the present and enormous disburse-
ments for interests and dividends about
January are likely to make the markets
easier for time. But is thought that iur-
ther exports of gold may shorty follow the
new year's e;tlements. The year 1872 was
remarkable for ewer failures than have oc-
CURED in any her year since 1856, the
number reported being i0.3ii, or 202D less
