NEW YEAR IN TRADE.
Dun's Review Says 1t Starts Off With
Big Business.
ENORMOUS WHEAT DEMAND.
CompIetc Returns of Last Years
Failures Show That the Aver
ame oc Liabilities Is SMALL
est Ever Recorded.

New York, Jan. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
The year begins with the kind of bust
ness demand that counts. For months
there has been a rising demand for ma
terial, but now the crowding demand
for finished products begins to advance
prices in the iron and steel Industry
about 1 per cent, without quotahe
changes in pig except at the east.
Beams have advanced So per ton, angles
81, bars 81, and plates are strong, with
an Australian order for $4,000 tons re-
fused at Chicago because the works are
already overcrowded. Many thousand
cars are covered by orders at Pittsburg.
The demand has never been greater at
the beginning of the year than it is
now.
Nor is there discovered reaction in
the boot and shoe industry although
shipments in the holiday week were
smaller than for some years. New or
ders are of fair quantity and about as
large as can be expected until the ques-
ton between manufacturers and leath-
CIR producers has been settled. A new
factory, said to be the largest in the
country if not in the world, is about to
be erected at ST. Louis, and expansion
in business at the west is remarkable
With hides shade higher at Chicago,
leather is also a fraction higher.
The movement of cotton thus far in
dictates crop over 300, 900 bales larger
than that of last year in spite Of all
natural disposition and concerted ef-
forts to hold it back. AS producers are
not this year in unusual need, a move
ment so heavy binders any advance in
have been as large in 1898 as in any 9TH
err year and exports larger than before.
The Wheat Movement.
The wheat movement has to sus-
tain the largest foreign demand ever
known for wheat and corn together.
and Atlantic exports Of 5,214420 bushels,
-four included, against 2,840,31S last
year, with Pacific exports of 614,833
against S72,446 last year would give
some reason to anticipate higher prices
We're not the western receipts 4,10l, 532
bushels against 2.S76,072 for the same
week last year. The wonder is that the
foreign demand for corn continues so
heavy, 3,572,412 bushels having been ex-
ported in the week against 2,954,S9 in
the same week last year.
The failures for the year 1898 were
1926, banking and other financial con-
Germs included, with liabilities Of $149,-
057,993 against $14S 251 estimated last
week, 1873 per cent less than last year
and 461 per cent less than in 1896. Com
mercial failures were 1876, with liabil-
tiles of $3.50, 662, 1899. 1873 per cent less
than last year and 43.2 per cent less
than in 1896. The average of liabilities
per failure, $1o,722, is the smallest ever
recorded.
Failures for the week have been 243
in the United States against 1922 last
year. and "a in Canada against 80 last
year.

Santa Fe Grievance Committees
and Officials Meet.
Conductors and Trainmen State
Their Demands Today.
MATERIAL INCREASE.
Train Employees Relieve They
Are Entitled to More Pay.
Officials Do Not Anticipate
Trouble With the Men.

The grievance committee of the Order
of Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen on the San
Ia Re road proper are meeting with
General Manager Frey and General
superintendent Nudge of the Santa Fe
today. Both committees have been in
session in Topeka for the past three
weeks. but this is the first meeting with
the officials.
The past three weeks has been taken
up by the respective committees in
agreeing on the demands to be made,
and tabulating them. A horizontal in
crease of any stated per cent is not to
be asked, but the demand is in the shape
OF various rates of increase on the
main line and branches of the different
divisions. 1t amounts to a substantial
advance in the pay of conductors and
trainmen on practically all runs
Number of hours of continuous work,
amount of baggage handled and amount
of switching necessary have been prom
inent features in determining the in
cTeaseS to be asked for. The desire of
both committees is for the adoption of
an entirely new schedule respectively.
The Santa Fe officials are ready to
grant some concessions to both the con-
ductors and trainmen, but are not dis
posed to consent to schedules that will
materially increase the pay of the men
generally. comparative statement
of earnings of train service employees
of other roads has been prepared. and
this shows that the Santa F'e men are
as well paid as the ma Ority of the men
of other roads, and better paid than
some. On runs where the Santa F'e
officials believe the men are not receiV-
ing adQuate compensation under the
old schedule, increases will be agreed
to.
The committees will probably hold
several meetings with the officials be-
fore a final adjustment is reached
There has been some threatening talk
among the members of the committees
as to what might happen should the
company refuse a general increase, but
the officials say there is no possibility
of trouble with the men.

Every train that goes over the tracks at
either Commercial. Mechanic or Mer-

alarm. The bells begin to ring when the
train is a block away. If the train is COM

on Mechanic street, is ringing when the
train gets to Market street When it gets
to Mechanic street, the current IS cut off
for the Mechanic street bell and started
for the Commercial street bell. When the
train passes Commercial street, the Ader-
man will be retained at the Commercial
street crossing.

BECOMING A FAD.
Railroads to Take Legal Steps to Pre-
vent Purloining of Cars

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Stealing cars during
the past few months has become such a
fad among railroads that Officers OF a
number of the larger. systems rad1atInS
from Chicago have asked their legal de-
partmentS Whether the Offenders may not
be brought into court and MADE 10 eX-
plain the purlOining of rolling stock OF
other roads. So widespread has become
the practice of a road short of cars APP
propriating those of other lines that reach
it with through freight and so limited are
the ways for stopping the evil that
turned in despair to their legal heads for
advice
When the rush of business struck the
transportation companies two or three
months ago it found all of them
offered. Jams and blockades followed and
then began the practical stealing of cars
by those lines that were short. The trick

in Indiana started 100 new box cars to a
Colorado road. The cars. it is said, never
got further than the Mississippi river
Ihey were pressed into service by the
roads over which they were sent and it
was nearly two months before any of
them reached the company that bought
them.
This incident with others of similar
nature, has caused the Southern Railway
that none of its cars will be allowed to go
north of the Ohio river.
Chicago railroad officers are getting deS-
perate over the condition and they say
the evil must be checked. Unless radical
action is promptly taken. they allege the
trouble will have grown to such an ex-
tent as to make its eradication difficult.

The Santa Fe is introducing new meth
cd of protecting railroad crossings in
small towns. Large gong bells are placed
on posts either side of the track and
are so arranged that they begin to ring
when train comes within !, 900 feet of
the crossing and continues to ring until it
passes that far the other side. The
bells have been tested for some time and
rarely get out of order. They answer the
purpose of protecting the people and the
cost is trifing when compared to that of
maintaining a gate and Waterman. The
road is also repainting its warning signs
and making them read: Look Out for
the Trains" instead of the old Look Out
for the Cars"
