p1rN.s REvIEW on TRADE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow:
The report of failures for the month of No
vember is extremely gratifying because 1t
shows not only decrease in number and
smaller amount of liabilities than in any
month excepting three summer months since
the monthly record began, but because careful
analysis shows a striking Improvement both in
the small and in the large failures and in
nearly all classes of industry and trade. Con-
sidering the failures are usually smaller in
summer months than in November the monthly
return may be considered about the best ever
made and shows condition of financial sound
ness rarely surpassed.

past weeks transactions in steel rails which
are said to exceed 70c0 tons. The makers hav-
solidation under which single agency was
expected to sell all the rails for domestic use
or for export the works na xes
scale of prices at ST for Pittsburg, SIS for
Chicago and $40 for Colorado. and the Illinois
steel works are said to have taken orders in a
single week covering much the greater part
of next years capacity. But Eastern concerns
have not been idle and have taken such large
orders that the output of the year is now ex-
pected to exceed 2.000nn0 tons. Bessemer pig
is stronger at Pittsburg. Gray forge Is steady
and Philadelphia. Finished products of iron
and steel are unchanged in price, although
plates and bars are in remarkably heavy de-
Sales of wool have been large in November
400 last year and rs, 900 in 1892, but they
have been affected by important concessions in
price.
Manufacturers have somewhat larger orders
and are more hopeful but considerable share
of the machinery must inevitably remain idle
until the material is cheaper in comparison
with the cost of wool and goods In other coun-
tries.
The wheat market has been lower with
heavy Western receipts, and has declined Nc.
Atlantic exports have been &l23 056 bushels,

las wear and Pacific exports 1910, 225. against
f,s57, $50 last year. and for five weeks the total

ports have been IA, 2s3 bushels. against H.
al. 532 last year. and the price has risen Nc. 1t
is a most significant fact. which all interested
may keep we'll in mind. that exports of wheat
about equal the greatest ever known in any
cron wear thus far, but accompanied by
corn exports also but slightly exceeded in the
wear of greatest movement heretofore. The
possibility that foreign dependence on Amer

may be worth considering
Failures for the week have been PSI in the
tinted states against 306 last year, and 10 in
Canada against 2s last year.

Bravo Kamehamehas.

The Kamehamehs boys collected
S24.60 for their Christmas tree for
the poor children in their vicinity
whose hearts were gladdened and
their days frightened by the gener-
Gus IF ,rts Of the boys. Their
cleverly conducted little paper the
H.udicraft in referring to the matter
says:
"The affair was undertaken and
carried through by the boys. This
year witnessed the m ,st business
like organization yet effected Tor the
purpose. Five committees were
appointed, one on 6nance, one on
entertainment, Que on refr, shments,
one on decoration, and leading
committee to have general charge.
Seventy four children were invited
and no doubt many OF these would
have had no Merry Christmas il it
had not been for this entertain
ment"

The Wet weather OF April aud May.
The atrucious weather Of April and May
ha< drawn out no end of speculation o. 20
the cause OF such phenomenal and long
continued period Of rainfall One day last
week the opinion was hazarded that 1t
might be due 20 seismic and volcanic dis
turbances In some remote part Of the
world on a theory no doubt similar 20 the
theory experimental on few years ago
that rain could De produced by heavy and
continuous explosions of powder. Yester-
day inquired OF Weather Observer Dunn
whether there were any records that would
bear out this notion, which seems inter
esting and ingenious. He assures me,
however, that 50 far as known earthquakes
and eruptions in one part of the world
have no influence whatever on the weather
elsewhere, and the cause of our tremen-
dOus soaking is still an unsolved mystery

parts of the world. 1t is distinguished by
an elongated, pointed muzzle, small eyes,
plantigrade, six toed feet and glands that
secrcte musky fluid. Altogether it closely
resembles mouse, but it is really not re
lated to the mouse family.
When at home, 1t Is either under pile
of rubbish or in hole which 1t has bur-
rowed In the earth. 1t is nocturnal In its
habits, but perfectly harmless; yet at one
time it was much disliked and prosecuted
because 1t was thought to be a dangerous,
mischievous animal. Among the Italians
the notion was prevalent that the bite of a
shrew was extremely poisonous. The
French and the English believed that If a
shrcw ran over an animals foot the ami
NAL felt great pain and eventually became
paralyzed. Hence If horse, COW or q
goat became little stiff in its limbs. the
foolish people at once declared it "shrew
struck. F" and the poor shrews had to suffer
in consequence.
OF course the "shrew struck" animal
had to have something to cure it, so an ash
tree was selected and deep hole was
bored into its trunk. Then shrew was
captured, put alive into the hole, the hole
was securely plugged and the innocent lit.
Ito animal was left to die of starvation. !
The ignorant believed that, after such
an act, the ash tree had power to cure
"shrew struck animals, and hcnever an
animal became inactive or "a little numb in
its limbs its owner hurried to the "shrew
ash, cut a switch from it and switched
| the "shrew struck" beast. The smartina
caused by the switching naturally made
the helpless animal move about as much
as 1t possibly could, and in Snort tine !,
was pronounced 'cured. "-Ihiladoirbis
