Touching upon the combined opera

satisfactorily solved by victory. One
glaring effect of the system of joint

There was one less death from influenza

were as many from bronchitis and more
from pneumonia. Many Of the recent
deaths from pneumonia have meen indi-
rectly due to the grippe. Furthermore,
physicians claim that the prevalence Of
the grippe, with the consequent general
weakening Of the system, causes an in
crease in mortality on all lines.
The deaths from all diseases reported
numbered l6 more than the day before.
During the last four days, according to
the register of records of the health de-

Oenor0l Business More Animated Than

NEW YORK, Dec. a.. Bradstreets
says: Current business conditions fur
nish some sharp contrasts to those usu-
ally looked for or reported at this season
of the year. 1t is, Of course, reasonable
to look for exceptional activity in holi-
day and retail trade generally at this
time, and in this respect the most san
guine expectations appear to have been
realized. Probably never before at this
date, however, was the course of gen.
eral business so animated as it is ut
present. Speculative activity is no
longer confined to the stock market, but
has widened to include wheat and c, IN
among the cereals and copper am. ~
the metals, while the rush of business
in iron and steel seems little, if any,
abated. Cotton goods and raw wool are
displaying an activity and strength
which would have been welcomed at
any time for year past.
Prices of securities and staples alike
furnish examples ofaggressive strength.
