TRADE REVIEW.
r.. G. Dun Says That the Past Has been
q Most Surprising Year-Fail-
ures for q Week.

New York, Dec. 1.-R. G. Dun & Co..
in their weekly review of trade say:
December is adding a surprising close
to the most surprising year of Amer
lean history. November surpassed all
other months of the century In volume
Of business and production. and thus far
December is doing even better in payments
through clearing houses. in railroad earn
ings. in foreign trade, in output of pig iron.
In activity and strength of securities. But
that Is saying great deal. for in all these
and other tests November was far the best
month of American financial history.
1.-THE exports of wheat continue heavy
from Atlantic ports. -four included, 5,492, 692
bushels. against 3,56S,8O5 last year. and
from Pacific ports TAI, 991 bushels. against
1,520. 612 last year, so that for two weeks
the outgo has been 11.81, $40 bushels,
against 9.401, 555 last year. AS the wheat
output in December of last year was close
to the largest on record, the returns this
year show a really surprising gain. While
prices have been three cents stronger for
cash. the western receipts for two weeks
Of December have been about 5,000, 900 bush
els greater than last year.
1.-THE corn movement Is the most aston
ishing feature of the business, the exports
for three weeks having been 7,1S7, 1902 bush
els. against 6.326, 1874 bushels last year, and
the price has advanced one cent for the
week. Should such demand for Amer
lean corn continue 1t would be of enormous
value to western farmers.
Failures for the week have been PSI ir
the United States, against 1923 last year
and 81 in Canada, against % last year"

fired and speeches were made on street
corners, and these rejoicings on the
part of the Cubans led to the riot.
