Trade says:
Dun's review is enabled. by the kind
ness of several thousand manufacturers
who have forwarded statements of their
Day-rolIs for November this year. in
1899. and in 1892. to make encouraging
comparison of earnings for that month.
which shows an increase III total pay
mclts of 1I.2 per cent. over last year, but
Il decrease Of 1S.:, per cent. in comparison
with 1892; 1O.o per cent more persons
were employed than Il year ago, but SO
per cent less than in 1892. The avcrag"
of earnings for over 2co,'a"' hands Is t
per cent. larger than in 1888. but ~
per cent. less than in 1872. In some of
the industries more hands are at work
than in 1892. but in others tn" decrease is
large Neither the larger orders in some
branches nor the depression Of prices in
others. afford n safe indication of the gen
cral movement. But the working force
does not lessen more than usual for the

not seem 10 diminish. though in most de-
