TRADE REVIEW.
While There Ia Little Excitement In
Commercial Lines, a Confident
Undertone Exists.

Mex. York, Dec. Sl9s--fe' g. Dun & Co..
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
is progressing along conservative lines.
It is without excitement and without great
speculative activity, but with a confident
undertone which is to be explained largely
by the fact that leading concerns in most
OF the great industries have orders booked
to employ their machinery at nearly full
capacity during months when curtailmeut
Is usual. No net reduction in working force
has appeared in the last fortnight and a
readjustment of wages schedules in some
branches of the steel trade is effected with
out trouble. Prices of commodities are gem
all points. The south is particularly cheer
full, with cotton firm and the rice crop COM
ing in at very full prices.
There Is no cause for alarm in the small
volume OF new business at iron and steel
csntsrs. With the first sign of higher
prices there came forward such flood of
contracts that mills and furnaces booked
orders sufficient to keep their full force
employed for months. Hence there has
coma more quiet condition, with less bid
ding for products; Fortunately quotations
were not forced up unreasonably during
the weeks Of greatest activity, and now
there 10 NO sign Of depression.
Failures for the week were 2s7 in the
United States, against 221 last year, and rs
In Canada, against % last year"
Bradstrest's says: There is ouister
tone and reduced volume of business doing
at wholesale In many lines, but this 10 not
unusual at this season, and Is partly bal
ancsd by a larger interest In retail and
holiday distribution. Weather conditions
are still drawback to the trade In WIN
ter weight goods, but It Is notable that a
better report comes from the northwest
than for some weeks past. Southern trade
advices remain good, but retail business at
eastern markets 10 still reported backward.
In the larger lines Of trade new features
are not numerous"

Washington, Dec. 1O.-It is expected
that the forthcoming naval appropria-

committee on naval affairs will contain
provisions for two more battleships
and two armored cruisers, following

.crescoI Signifies ITO Grow
The Best People and the Best
Town of Its Size in the
State of Iowa.

21U ID pdTuOlldUIc lOF any person living
in Cresco to take pride in the growth
and prosperity of the city, in the
character and enterprise of its people,
in its schools and It's churches, in it's
places of business and in its business
men, in its public teachers, in its
clergy, in its mechanics, and in its
bright, intelligent and lovable wives,
mothers and daughters.
No town of its size in the state has
a larger per cent of palatial residences,
none has larger and more beautiful
lawns, its beautiful shade and orna-
mental trees fringing the margin of
every street 1t has more than twenty
miles of good side walk made from
boards and planks, nearly two miles of
|cement walks, its principal street
McAdafnized through the business
portionof the city.
In it's public and private schools arc
more than six hundred pupils enrolled
with an excellent corps of competent
instructors in charge of each depart
ment.
Its professional men are possess, d OF
ability, integrity aud character in
both law and medicine, and deservcdly
enjoy the respect and esteem of,thcir
fellow citizens. Its people are public
spirited and they all believe in the
| future of Cresco which is an inspira-
| tion of the present. The city has and
owns its system of water works the
benefits of which are annually being
extended to various parts of the city.
Its electric light plant put in by Mr..
G. t. Freehauf gives excellent service
and satisfaction and is being extended
to all parts OF the city. Its heating
plant put in by the same gentleman
at an expense of about 1925 900, is the
most approved system Of heating that
science has given to civilization, not
more than thirty cities in the United
States having the system. This, in
brief, is presentation of some of the
features possessed by the city of
Cresco, and which commend it to its
people and to the public.
We append the namber and value of
its public and private Improvements
for 1900 and think it will compare
favorably with like Improvements in
any city in this portion of our state.
AS market for the products of the
f-s~-fuuuuIug country it IS Te1iab1e, its
dealers paying to the producer the full
value of his product in the eastern
markets, less the cost of transporta-
1t is located on the line of the Chicago,
| Milwaukee & St. Paul railway which
fduring the past summer has added
several thousands dollars to its track
age in town that it might properly
meet its requirements and handle it's
ever increasing business. If you are
acquainted in Cresco you Of course
know these statements are facts, If
unacquainted In Cresco come and see
our city, get to know its people and
you will love them and perhaps locate
with us.
