HURT BY BIG BUSINESS.
Worst Day In Wall Street Duo Partly te
Best xear In Trade. Said Dun's.
The Failures,

New YORK, Dec. o3--R. G.. Dun q
90. g weekly review of trade issued to-
day said in part:
The worst day in Wall street for years was
IN part the legitimate result Of the best year
In business ever known. Because the country
had prosperod so greatly and had 50 expanded
its business II could no longer afford to have
many millions locked up In carrying stocks
representing imaginary values. The question
was not one OF monetary supply. When the
country found ample uso for its capital In
regular trade and productive industry q con.
traction OF lonns became necessary. which
would only have become more painful 10 the
volume OF the stocts carried had been larger.
Reckoning from the highest general average
last spring. industrial stocks had fallen at the
close on Monday 2327 per cent street railroad
stocks $50 per cent and other railroad and
telegraph stocks only go per cent
The business of the country close to tho
holidays is necessarily smaller than 1t has
been and yet larger than at the same date in
any other year Exchanges through principal
clearing houses for the week have been S37
per cent larger than last year and 50.4 per
cent larger than in 1902, including s2l per
cent gain in payments outside New York.
There Is not even suspicion Of uns0undness
In any considerable branch OF industry or
trade, the extraordinary expansion In some
being us well warranted as the material gain
in others.
Wool sales have dropped sharply with
monetary pressure, but prices do not change,
and the opening OF heavy weight goods retards
at present purchases for mills.
High prices for iron are wonderfully sus'
tanned, and though many works will close for
stock taking during the holidays, while the
furnaces do not stop, pig shows no weakness.
Prices on finished products change little,
though more concerns have reached the point
OF competing for now orders. and there is
some weakness in sheets because many tin.
plate mills are to be closed soon AT the east.
and in plates not Of the largest size competi-
ton Is sharp. but in bars the demand some.
what improved and in structural works have
continued their combination for another year
without change in prices.
Wheat has fallen both In foreign demand
and In prices. The price rose quickly on Mon.
day when other things were falling, but sub.
sequenily reacted and closed a cent lower.
Corn exports are still well maintained.
Failures for the week have been 40 in the
United States, against 25S last year. and 20 in
Canada, against ~ last year.

The paper had generally been q warm
supporter OF the administration. The
provost marshrl recently threatened to
suppress it for publishing an editorial
asserting that Manila streets were in q
worse condition under the American

ministration.
The Manila Times was also recently
warned, with an intimation of impris-
onment and confscation for printing an
editorial recommending the creation Of

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Senator For.

corning the authorship of the gold
plank Of the Republican platform Of
1895, said:
"The statements published by Mr.,
Payne, Governor Merriam, Senator
Hanna and Senator Proctor do not con
fiict with any statement that has been
made by me. neither do they help in
any way Mr.. Kohlsaat.
"The point in issue was whether OF
not Mr.. koblsaat drafted the gold plank
and forced its adoption upon the com.
mittee. These statements show that he
had nothing whatever to do with the
framing of that plank except in com.
mon with other Republicans and refute
absolutely his claim OF authorship"
