OUTLOOK HOPEFUL.
Indications Are That tho New Year Will
Dawn Upon an Era OF Prospority-Ex-
ports on the Increase.


New York, Dec. Pr. G.. Dun & Co.
will say tomorrow, in their Weekly Re-
view of Trade:
Failures for the week have been 800
In the United States against $50 last
year, and 40 in Capada, against IL last
year.
The foreign and financial messages of
the president were followed by violent
reaction in the stock market last Sat-
nrday. with grave fears of monetary
trouble.
The sudden panic checked business in
many departments and the industries
cannot be expected to show signs of inn
pavement until the new year begins.
Anthracite coal is selling at $340 in
New York harbor. In the great textile
manufactures the usual holiday busi-
ness is increased by delay of orders.
though there is some accumulation of
goods for the demand expected soon.
Standard brown sheetings and drills are
an eighth lower and cotton goods aver
age n third of one per cent. lower For
woOlen goods the market Is extremely
dull, soft wool dress goods and ladies'
cloths are shade lower. and the aver
age of quotations Is about an eighth
per cent lower for the week.
Railroad earnings I'm December thus
far are Ga per cent. larger than last
year, but 5.S per cent. less rnan in 1892.
Payment through clearing house were
abnOrmally swelled by the weeks panic.
so that the average daily Tor December
at all points Is eighteen per cent. more
than in 1894 and 1872 per cent. less than
in 1892. Foreign trade shows gain of
1917 per cent. in exports from New York
for three weeks of December, which is
decidedly encouraging. and a decrease
of 1Sih per cent In imports here.

Yesterday novel plan was resorted
to in the hope of solving the mystery.
Paul Alexander Johnstone, the we'll

caller, AS the corridor door opened Dr.
Johnstone exclaimed: THAT is the
man we want to see. the one in the third
cell. with glasses" In ,ne waiting
room, where Johnstone. the jailer and
two newspaper men sat, Thompson was
brought out. During the long court in
Vestigation Thompson has not mani
tested the least concern or emotion. The
moment the eyes of the mind reader
were fastened on him, however. the ac-
cused man shook and trembled like an
aspen, being so nervous he could scarce
ly keep his seat, while not a question
was asked or a word spoken. The sub
ject was greatly excited. but on the ad-
vice of his attorney said nothing con-
cerning the murder.

trouble for myself and do no good to the
prosecution. If my knowledge was evil

MORE BONDS FOR SALE.
II Is Doubtful IL ANY Measures for Relief
VIII Meet Presidents Approval.

Washington, Dec 27.--Secretary Car
Isle spent most of the day in consulta-
tion with the president and was at the
treasury only for few minutes.
The impression is general that the
president, living up to the language of
his message to congress on its opening,
will within short time sell $780, 900
bonds unless there is evidence that
speedily.
The best opinion is that the chances
for the senate and house to concur
quickly In any measure that will get the
approval of the president, are slight. !.
