A Cheering Comparison from Re-
ports Of Manufacturers.
INCREASE IN NUMBERS EMPLOYED

A Higher Average in Wages Rarned, Too,
Over November Of Last Year. Though Not
Go High "a in November, 1899 Business
Failures.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.--R. g. Dun q Co. s
weekly review OF trade says: Dun'5 re
view Is enabled, by the kindness Of several
thousand manufacturers, who have for
warded statements of their pay rolls for
November this year, In 1893 and in 1892,
to make very encouraging comparison of
earnings for that month, which shows an
increase in total payments OF 15.2 per cent.
over last year, but a decrease Of 1873 per
cent. in comparison with 1892. A state
ment Of hands employed shows that in the
same establishments 1O.2 per cent more
persons were employed than n year ago,
but So per cent. less than in 1892, The
average Of earnings for over 250OOO hands
Is per cent. larger than in 1893, but l4]E
per cent. less than in 1892. In some Of the
industries more hands are at work than in
1892, but in others the decrease is largo,
Contradictory changes in business are
| quite in order at this season. Neither the
| larger orders In some branches nor the de-
preston Of prices in others afford q safe in
hlOtVlOh vi bho Bouerhl ulONolichb' Duu
the working force does not lessen more
than usual for the time of year, the ir-
mand for goods does not seem TO diminiTh,
though In most departments it is consl.
erRbly below the capacity Of works in
operation, aud the volume Of business
transacted is q little larger, in comparison
with last year, than in November.
The failures for the past week have been
$40 in the United States, against $3.50 for
the same week last year, and 40 In Can
ada, against 40 last year.
Bradstreets' review says: There is the
expected slackening in wholesale and job
bing lines customary Immediately before
Christmas holidays. With few exceptions
sales Of Christmas specialties, notions and
fancy groceries by jobbers and at retail
show the only activity in the movement Of
merchandise, and no improvement is ex
| peCted until the next year.
