Dum's ReWeqU of Trade,

NEW YORK. Dec 20.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
Holiday trade reached its maximum this
week, nearly all sections of the country re-
porting exceptional distribution. and while the
class of goods especially stimulated by Christ
mas demand occupied the position OF greatest
prominence general merchandise was not far
behind in activity Transporting interests
were just beginning to overcome congested con-
ditions when severe storms made the situation
more complicated than before.
In the grain market wheat has held fairly
steady at some reaction from last weeks ex-
ceptionally high point and there is still much
evidence of a firm undertone. Severe weather
stimulated the Western demand for livestock
feeding and also Interrupted receipts. Here
tofore this season there has been large gain
in comparison with the corresponding period OF
1900. Higher prices have at last affected the
export movement.
Failures for the week numbered 265 In the
United States, as against 292 last year, and
10 In Canada, as against is last year.

in prices has been the continued marking

pig iron are proof of the heavy buying going
on in the cr1lder FORMS which vies with the
active call for bars, sheets. plates, rails and

Despite the record breaking production buyers
are still eager and the familiar car shortage
