DUNs REVIEW.
Manufacturing Outlook nctter, Except q,
To Prices The Holiday Trade Has iieeu
nnih.r I.....r ~ NJ Il.Iul.

Manufacturing Outook better. Except as
10 Prices The Holiday Trade Has licen
Rather Poor At Most roints.
NEw NORR. Dee 90 Il q Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review of trade saturday
says
''llut for the large eXpoEts Of gold
and uncertainty about financial lcgis-
lntion. the indications would be moro
encouraging Some increase is seen in
orders given 10 manufacturing works,
though until the year cnds the force
actually at work naturally dimlnishes-
The holiday trade has been rather poor
at most points, partly owing to mild
weather. There Is distinctly more con.
fdence shown about the future demand
for industrial pro iucis, though prices
are not better Domestic exports in
crease a little, though oNportabic sta
pies are not better In price. In Novem-
Der the excess Of merchandise exports
over imports was $50. 573,Sgl. be-
sides sa,93l,03l silver, and December
returns indicate MS large an excess
For this very reason the exports Of
s.. e,O7l in gold since las, Friday, and
the Withdrawals OF about three times
rs much gold from the treasury are
the more noticed. Money continues to
accumulate here. and there Is no en-
largcment In the demand for CONNER
cial loans
Exchanges for the week were 1.9a
per cent larger than last year, but 3l.i
per cent less than in 1899. and for the
month the daily average has been 60
per cent, larger than last year but . 6i
per cent less than In iS9,.
"The Withdrawals Of gold from tho
treasury have been over sci, 900 900
since December 5, and are attributed in
part to replacement OF bank receipts
which were reduced by the purchase of
bonds Yet It's plain that the desire
of the foreigners to get gold instead Of
stocks, and Of Americans 10 get gold
instead OF notes, rapidly takes from
the treasury whatever was gained by
selling bonds.
Failures have been somewhat more
important, the reported liabilities for
the second week of December amount
ing TO Se,7ll,607, and for two weeks OF
December the aggregate has been 90
4s0,0li, OF which the trading liabilities
were 81, 7Ol,0il. But last year the lia-
bilities In failures Of the same two
weeks were sli,67p,99j, of which no
less than si,l7l,i0i were Of manufac-
turing, and only s5,3Ol, ,7si OF trading
concerns
The failures for the pastlweels have
been ai9 in the United States, against
3li last year and 80 in Canada, against
81 last year"

JUGGLING GOLD.
Exporters and Others All schemIng Against
the United States.

the United States.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9i.--Sub-treasury
officials say an effort is being made in
New York to juggle the government
gold. Exporters are working all kinds
Of schemes to get full weight coins.
They are very anxious TO get hold of
gold bars and bricks with the gov
ernment stamp of fineness on them.
Uncle sam has s46,0OO,0O0 worth Of
these, but in order to cut down exports
some time ago made it rule to redeem
treasury notes only in gold coin. The
light weight coins complained of are
all within the legal limit, one-half Of
one per cent. but the shippers have
felt the loss and have sorted the coins,
keeping the light weight ones at home.
The banks objected to them, and one
foreign house took lot TO the sub
treasury and asked that they be re-
deemed in paper. This the treasury
officials declined 10 do, saying the re-
deeming Of paper promises to pay did
not carry with it the reverse
duty of rcdeeming gold in paper.
The only thing left TO do was
to deposit the gold in the bank.
whence il would work its way back to
the sub-treasury. The assay Office has
received novel proposition from an
exporting house. 1t wanted to deposit
American gold coin and have it melted
into stamped bars. The proposition
was declined, though II the coin was
light weight or mutilated, it could be
remelted at the regular fee. A private
detective called at the assay office for
assistance in tracing two gold bars
which he said had been smuggled in
from Mexico.
