r, 6. Dun & Co. Is Review says:
Business is progressing along conser-
pative lines. 1t is without excitement
and without great speculative activity,
but with confident undertone which
is to be explained largely by the fact
that leading concerns In most Of the
great industries have orders booked 10
employ their machinery at nearly full
capacity during months when ourtail-
ment is usual. This situation should
quiet fears of bad shocks such as Soma
previous seasons have seen. No
reduction ia working force has
peared in the last fortnight, and a /
adjustment of wage schedules In soma
branches of the steel trade is effect Il
without trouble. Prices of commodi.
ties are generally steady, and holiday
trade is brisk at all points. The South
is particularly cheerful, with cotton
firm and the rice crop coming 10 at
very full prices.
Bank clearings make excellent com
parisoDs. At New York this week, the
gain is 2l.S per cent over the same
week in 1899, and As per cent over 1898.
For the leading cities outside New
York the gain is 3 per cent over 1899
and 26 over 1898. The railroad earnings
in November increased 1.3 per cent
over last year, and Is Fer cent over
1898. Granger lines decrease, though
there are signs Of a recovery OF tone in
business in the spring wheat belt.
Collections are excellent, particularly
in dry goods.
Bradstreet's says: "There is a quieter
tone and reduced volume OF business
doing at Wholesale in many lines, but
4, -, .r,. 500 ..,1 - Ia II
is partly balanced by larger interest
in retail and holiday distribution.
Weather conditions are still drawback
to the trade in winter weight goods,
but it is notable that better report
comes from the Northwest than for
some weeks past. Southern trads ad.
vices remain good, but retail business
at Eastern markets is still reported
backward. In the larger lines Of trade
new features are not numerous. Tex
tiles are quiet and rather dull with
agents pending the opening Of the
spring season. Wool aud woolens are
still quiet. Cotton is irregular. and
the market is at a balance pending the
publication of the next government
crop report, which, however, is expected
to approximate 8, $50, 600 bales. The
high cost of raw cotton has not as yet
been equaled by the advance in manu-
featured goods The higher trend Of
values in November has been dupli-
Gated in the first week of December,
and cereals, long backward in this
respect, have led the advance, which,
however, has net been steadily main
tanned. The better business In Hovem-
her is being reflected in renewed gains
in railway earnings over last years
exceptional returns. Bank olearings,
swelled by enormous interest payments,
are the heaviest ever recorded. -

It is often difficult to decide what to get
your friends for holiday gifts. Here is a
suggestion:

slowly recovering from severe illness,

On New Years day Jennie was able to be
out on the street, and to her friends who
remarked how well she was looking she
simply said, Hoods Sarsaparilla," and
every one of them knew 1t was this great
medicine that had given back her health.

Stand large cakes on tins containing

Lay the cake on its side or on wire

A point often forgotten is that large
cakes require cooler oven than small

slowly, and large ones In hot oven
get burnt outside before the insides are
half cooked.

people who asked his opinion that IL
they intended a mar for a brood mare
to breed her rs a 2-year-old. 1t has
been said that mares when but 3 years
old have nc difficulty In foaling. but
are liable to have at 4. However, il a
mare has a foal at 3 she is usually
rather a shy breeder at I. Our own
view Of this matter is to follow as
nearly as may be the indications Of
nature. In a wild state we believe that
fllies are very frequently, probably
generally, impregnated as early as 2
years old. We have known cases
where even yearling FLIES have acct
dentally got with foal and been deliv-
cred as 2-year-olds, though this is IN
usual. We know n such case where
the mare, when we saw her as a ma
tured mare, was about 16 hands high
and showed no signs Of retarded devel-
opment. Long after her first expert
ment she produced a PAGER with a rec
ord Of 2:15h and a good %campaigner.
When FLIES are bred as early as 2
years old, they should have the best of
care before and after being bred. Par
ticular pains should be taken that their
growth should not be arrested. They
should be particularly well treated
while sucking the foal and after it's
| being weaned as an extra ~precaution.
We have known a great many 2-year-
old FLIES bred without any bad conse-
quences resulting and do not view that
practice with any disfavor. '"
