New York, Dec. 16.-Dun's weekly re-
view of trade tomorrow will say:
December is adding surprising close
to a most surprising year of American
history. November had surpassed all 9TH
or months of the century in volume OF
business. and thus far December is doing
even better. in payments through Clearing
houses. in railroad earnings, in foreign
trade, in output of pig iron, and in actiV-
itv and strength of securities. But that
Is saving a great deal. for in all these and
other tests November was far the best
month of American financial history.
December began with a pig iron output
of 2S552S tons weekly, against 22S,935 on
November 1, and with stocks of unsold
iron diminished IS 9Ss tons in November.
which indicates a consumption of 1-0s4.3lS
tons during the month. Not only is the
output the greatest ever known, but 1t
has increased g 1-2 per cent since 1s92
when the greatest monthly record then
ever known was made. With scarcity OF
pig iron feared both East and West. there
is as yet no rise whatever in finished
products, although the demand Is FAR be-
yond all precedent. The wOolen industry
also comes to the front with very extern
sive purchases of wool by large houses
and small. The transactions show de-
mand fairly up to that Of the most pros
porous years heretofore. No man can say
that the advance IN cotton, with strong
milling demand at home due to orders for
goods which lift prices generally little,

port trade. The foreign demand Is really

Spain Will Not Give Up.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The French papers
derive their news of tho work of tn,
peace commissioners from Spanish sour.
ces therefore the morning papers are
interesting as indicating the atmosphere
in Spanish quarters and the trend Of
French views.
The Press today confeses the situation.
The Matin says it is we'll understood
that the cession Of Porto Rico was tanta-
mount to paying the war indemnity
in cash and has entirely freed spain
from any subsequent repetition of the
subject,
lie Gaulois say that the Spaniards
will never agree to abandon the Archi-
pelago without compensation and that
thcy believe the Americans intend to
suggest that they will assume the Philip
pine debt.
They hope that negotiations will not
be broken, but Spain would take such
a course rather than submit to humiliat-
ing terms.

MISSIONARY CONCERT.

The Missionary Concert by the Junior
Epworth League at the Hcdding
Methodist church last evening was a
success both from financial and enter
iaining standpoint. The house was we'll
filled and the efforts of the young folks
to please were well appreciated by the
audience,
The recitations given by Mamie Nc
Kenzie. Inez Vaughn and Allie Trow
were especially worthy of mention as
they had none of the crudeness so char
acteristic of the young performer.
A very unique and pleasing feature of
the evening was the "Shaking Quakers'
motion song. Harvey Vaughn as
Hezekiah and his seven Shaking Quak-
er sisters cap'ivated the audience with
their quaint impcrsonation of our friends
the quiet Quake1s.
Una Densmore's two songs "Oh Fair,
Oh Sweet, Oh Holy" and "Roses,'
were executed in manner showing
finish and talent. The reading "Where's
Annette" given by Lillian Ii. Martin,
was an extremely difficult selection but
was handled with admirable power.
The last of the entertainment was the
meeting Of the Epworth Leaguer's of
foreign nations in national costume.
They told their story in their native
tongue and showed much study and
ability. The costumes were especially
pretty ard when last, Americas repre-.
sentative appeared and all nations-in-
cluding Srain-sang America, Il very
pleasing and suggestive picture was
brought to the sight and mind Of the
audience. This concluded an evening
