HIGHEST EVER ATTAINED.
A Majority of the Court Unite on q
Verdict That He Oisobeyed
Orders.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says: II Is most fortunate
that the vagares of speculation are
not always deleterious to legitimate
business. Railway stocks fell sharp
ly, yet full returns for November show
that earning were 11.5 per cent. great
er than In the same month last year
and 1871 per cent. over those of 1899.
Industrial and traction shares were
even more violently disturbed, yet
the manufacturing plants of the ma
tion were never more fully occupied.
Numerous labor controversies have
been settled. and the rate of wages
Is at the highest point ever attained.
Retail distribution Is of massive pro-
portions. with dealings in holiday
goods the conspicuous feature. This
class of business so far surpasses all
previous records that II alone gives
an unmistakable indication of the ma
tlons prosperity. even il other more
definite measures were not available.
Conditions in the leading industry are
still most strikingly promising. De-
spite the full engagement of most OF
the steel mills well into next year. the
week has brought a large amount of
new business, particularly in railway
equipment. Stability of prices con-
tinues the best feature, imitation be-
Ing wisely prevented by controlling
interests. Reports from the great
iron centers during the closing week
OF November dwelt on the scarcity
OF cars and motive power, implying
that furnaces could not secure coke
and We're going ont of blast while mig
iron could not be moved from the
yards to the mill. Hence it was gen.
orally expected that the output would
show n material decrease while fur
mace stocks OF iron were thought to
be somewhat augmented Instead.
the Iron Age has issued most en-
couraging report of 266 furnaces in
blast on December |. with a capacity
of 324,76l tons weekly. Thus a new
high record was attained Under cir
cumstances which appeared anything
but propitious. II must be appre-
ciated, however, that since the month
opened there has been more Interrupt
tion. and the present rate Of yield Is
probably much lighter. Furnace
stocks of pig iron decreased 1879
tons during November to only 223, ,462
tons. Raw material in the textile in
dustires has developed distinct firm
ness. Cotton made a further ad-
vance. The dry goods market is
| qIiet. Wool Is readily taken at un-
changed prices. Leather is firmer.
