TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun e. Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade for last week says:
Holiday trade reached its maximum
last week, nearly all sections OF the
country reporting exceptional distribu-
ton, and while the class of goods es-
especially stimulated by Christmas de-
mand occupied the position of greatest
prominence. general merchandise was
not far behind in activity. Transporta-
ton interests were just beginning TO
overcome congested conditions 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 exceptionally high point. and
there is still much evidence of firm
undertone. Severe weather stimulated
the western demand for livestock feed
ing. and also interrupted receipts. Here.
tofore this season there has been
large gain in comparison with the cor
responding period OF 1900. Higher
prices have at last affected the export
movement.
Failures for the week numbered 26o
in the United States. as against 292 last
wear. and 10 in Canada, as against Is
last year.
