BRADsTREET's ON THE WEEK.
Duiiness in All Branches Except
Steel and Iron.


NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
satisfaction with the old and conf
dence in the new year are the dominant
features of the entire Industrial COM
mercial, and financial situation The
week has naturally been quiet to the
verge of dullness as regards new busi-
ness, the main attention being concen-
trated in gathering up the threads of old
business, in stock-taking, and in prepara-
tions for the future
Final returns Of bank clearings, Of
coal movements, of shoe shipments, of
lake transportation, and of railway build
ing. all go to confirm previously pub
lished satisfactory reports. The enor-
nous aggregate of clearings. which were
record-breakers in nearly every respect,
are supported by advices of record shoe
shipments from Eastern manufacturing
centres, the increase being fully 16z per
cent over last year, by reports of 10 per
cent larger traffic passing through the
500 Canal, and of advices of the largest
mileage of new railway built since 1890
is strikingly smaller number of failures
to report for the closing days of 1901. and
the returns in this respect lose only when
comparison Is made with the preceding
two very favorable years.
"a conspicuous exception to the gen.
eral quietness is found in the iron and
steel situation, which gains rather than
loses activity. Here. however, the car
shortage question cuts disturbing fig
,IaI-
vanced stage of the season. bids fair to
continue to unsettle both production and
consumption considerably.
Floods in tho mining regions have in
terfered with production, and the car
shortage still accentuates the scarcity
of coal, particularly btuminous An
thracite supplies are smaller, notwith-
standing a total production last year in
excess of53, GOO, 600 tons, a total u per cent
larger than ever before produced.
Prices show a few changes on the
week. The cereals are, on the whole,
higher, due mainly to the strength of
wheat, which still supports the coarser
grains. Small deliveries and firm cables
with some better export buying early
checked later by the advance, coupled
with good buying by the country, are
the Strengthening features. Winter wheat
crop reports are in the main favorable.
PROVISIONS are steauy, except lard, Wnlcn
has weakened slightly.
Cotton has been shaded a little be-
cause of large receipts which are, how
ever, claimed to really represent good
buying for export. Cotton goods are
quiet, as usual at this date, but clo1ed
the year 1901 much better than they be-
gan II.
"Quietness is the feature in the leather
and kindred trades, but an access rather
than 4 loss in strength of prices is look
ed for Shoe shipments are smaller than
of late, but still in excess of year ago.

Der 2T0, against 2l9 last weeF and 2GS

tains, the tablet being a scientific -ombi-
nation of Bloodroot. Red gum, and SINH
lar valuable and harmless antiseptics.
The safe and effective catarrh cure may
be found at any drug store under the
name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
Whether the Catarrh is located in the
nose, throat, bronchial tubes. or stomach.
the tablets seem to act with equal sue
cess, removing the stuffy feeling in head
and nose, clearing the mucous membrane
of throat and trachea from catarrhal Sc
cretions, which cause the tickling, cough
ing, hawking, and gagging so annoying to
every eatarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to ulcera-
ton, in some cases to such an extent as
to destroy the nose entirely. and in many
old cases of catarrh the bones of the head
become diseased. Nasal catarrh gradu-
ally extends to the throat and bronchial
tubes and very often to the stomach,
causing that very obstinate trouble, ca
tarrh of the stomach.
Catarrh is systemic poison, inherent
in the blood, and local washes, douches,
salves, inhalers, and sprays can have no
effect on the real cause of the disease. An
internal remedy which acts upon the
blood is the only rational treatment. and
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the safest OF
all internal remedies. as we'll as the most
convenient and satisfactory from medi-
aal standpoint.
Dr. Eaton recently stated that he had
successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
in old chronic cases, even where ulcera-
ton had extended SO far as TO destroy the
septum of the nose. He says: 81 am
pleasantly surprised almost every day by
the excellent results from Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. 1t is remarkable how ef-
fectually they remove the excessive secre-
tion and bring about healthy condition
of the mucous membranes of the nose,
throat and stomach
All druggists sell complete treatment OF
the Tablets at 80 cents and little book
giving the symptoms and causes OF the
various forms of catarrh. will be mailed

ings at u per cent. Moreover, it is i'm
possible even to approximate the fabu-
lous rates that might have prevailed but
for the prompt action of the clearing
house committee at moments OF especial
stress.
Money was more abundant than ever
before, yet the demand was also eXcep-
tional, and purchases of foreign securi-
ties, together with the return of much
domestic stock, produced the anomaly of
heavy gold exports in the face of low
rate of foreign exchange.
Bank Records.
In the year of big things it was nat
ural that new high records should be re-
corded in deposits and loans. Financing
OF big syndicate operations and unparal-
leled stock market dealings combined to
raise the total of loans and discounts to
1914 ,623, 900 on February l6. against $685.

Price of silver.
The year 1901 brought almost uni
form decline in silver throughout the
entire period, eliminating in sales dur
ing December at 24.94d in Londor and "a
cents at New York. 1t is found that but
two months on record. August and Sep
tember, 1897 found this metal selling as
low. At that time the bottom was touched
at 23&d. or about cents an ounce
lower than the low record of 1901 The
fundamental difficulty was undoubtedly
one of stocks much too big for demand,
and high rates for money"
The stock Market.
After recording the remarkable events
of the sock market year, the review
closes:
These influences of widespread i'm
portance brought many erratic move
ments in the security market. yet above
everything there arose expressions of
great faith in the future progress of the
nation, and in no case was the decline of
prices as severe as would have certainly
occurred after such phenomenal gains if
fundamental conditions had not been
known to be sound"

HARTIGAN GIVEN
HIGHER POSITION,
YOUNG DETECTIVE is PROMOTED.
Made Sergeant in Place of SnmueI
Ero~ne, Who Is Sent to the
Eighth Precinct for
Patrol Duty.

Several transfers in the Police Depart
ment were announced yesterday by Major
sylvester, who stated that they were "for
the good of the service" One of the
transfers was a surprise, that of Detect
i've Sergeant Samuel Browne, who was re-
lieved of further duty In the Detective
Bureau and sent to the Eighth precinct
for patrol duty. The vacancy thus Gre
ated was filled by the promotion of De-
tective Thomas P. Hartigan, who for some
months has been a probation man in the
detective office.
Hnrtigan's Good Record.
Detective Hartigan has won the com
mendation of his superiors by the ener-
getic manner In which he has sifted eyerv
case that has been assigned to him. He
is young, active and possessed of good
judgment. Although as yet productive of
but little. his work on the Dennis mys-
terry has been particularly pleasing to his
superiors, who have closely watched every
move that he has made.
NO one has yet been designated to fill
the probation position vacated by the
promotion of Detective Hartigan
Brownies Chief Case.
Detective Browne has been in the Detec-
tive Bureau for about two years He has
been the running partner of Detective
Sergeant Lacy, and has distinguished him
self in the handling of numerous cases
The most prominent OF them recently was
the one involving the counterfeiting of
the tickets of the Metropolitan street
railroad. These tickets were made in
Scotland, and were being sold by one of
the employees of the road in large guam
titles. Browne was sent to England and
Scotland to recover the stones from which
the tickets were printed.
Other Transfers.
Other transfers yesterday, some of
which had been previously announced,
were as follows: Sergeant Elliott, of the
First precinct, and Acting Sergeant Kill
martin, of the Sixth, exchange stations;
Acting Sergeant Stevens, of the Tenth,
and Sergeant J. J. Murphy, of the Fifth.

MAY NOT ROW ANNAPOLIS.
Obstacles in Way of the Navy-Har-
ward Race.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Jan. &C. H.
schweppe, graduate manage. 81 athletics
ar Harvard, today received proposal
from the management of the Annapolis
c.ew to row race some time in May.
the Harvard management has not yet an
swored the proposal, but 1t will come up
before the regular meeting of the athletic
committee next week
1t does not seem probable that Harvard
will accept the proposal. The letter does
not specify that the middies would like
to row against the Varsity crew, but they
would simply like to row against a Har-
ward crew. One thing is absolutely GER
tain and that is that the Harvard Varsity
crew would never be allowed to row a
race before the race with Yale.
That another crew will go against Uncle
Sans boys does not seem probable either,
as the Harvard athletic committee would
not allow that crew to go to New York
to row against the Columbia crew on ac-
count of the expense.

CAMS RIGHT
ENDS BATTLE.
BrOderiCk Knocked Out in
Sixth Round.
WAS CARRIED TO HIS CORNER.
COlOrcd Lnd Sent to the Floor in the
SccOnd-FOught With AstOnishfng
Clevcrness, Although Not in Best
Shnpe-Good Showing by Yonkers
Man, Who Had Weight and Reach.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 3.-Tom Broderick,
the Yonkers welterweight, experienced
the first knockout of his ring career to-
night before AL Herforis Club 1t came
in the sixth round, when Joe Cans, his op-
ponent, with series of swings, followed
by sharp right to the jaw, put the
heavier man on the floor. 1t was a COM
plete knockout, and the Yonkers pugilist
had to be carried to his corner.
Cans Had IA Surprise.
Cans came very close to being the vic
tim Of surprise party, however, in the
second round. They were hard at it in a
mix-up, when Broderick sent a right to
Joe's jaw and he dropped to the floor. He
was UP at the count of eight, however,
slightly dazed from his experience.
After that Broderick never figured in
the affair. He put up 4 rushing battle,
but was held at bay by the remarkable
cleverness of the colored boz.
Plenty of Clever Work.
Cans, though being far from in lis lest
shape, displayed wonderful. science, and
and against the hard battle waged by
Broderick, put up a defence that aston
ished his admirers.
The bout was one of the fastest and
best witnessed in Baltimore in many
moons. The superior height, reach, and
weight of the Yonkers man told slightly
in his favor, as he was able to rough it
many times, and in the mix-ups give as
well as receive.
Began in the Second.
The first act was quite tame, being
devoted to fiddling After the second,
when Cans was dropped. the coIored boy
opened a more careful campaign, and
from then on began to beat his opponent
down. With that precision which has
won Cor him many fight he sent in jolts
that had the Yonkers delegate rocking
like ship at sea.
The blow that did the business was sent
with the full force of his body and the
receiver went down as if he had been hit
with a mallet
