TRADE SITUATION.
Retail Business Continues Good
Jobbers Have Immense Orders.

New York, Jan. Pr. G.. Dun 4

Little of a novel nature has developed
in the business or financial situation
during the past week. Conditions OF
the preceding week were n
as a rule, active manufacturing plants
becoming still more busily engaged,
while the downward tendency Of prices
was not checked. Retail trade is of i'm

voluntarily advanced at a number OF
manufacturing plants, hours reduccd
at others. There were few labor con-
troversies, while skilled are
in greater demand h supply.
Conditions in the iron and steel in
dustry are shown by record breaking
production at. many plants and rapid
increase of facilities at others. Struc-

Textile markets are quiet, although
reports of the jobbing trade are most
favorable. Cotton mills are busy, as
a rule, but uncertainty as to the future
of the raw material tends to unsettled
prices. S~pecialties have been put on

By a vote or four against one Engineer ill Chief Mel yille's proposition to give the big ships 25,00o horsepower and q speed of twen- ty-three kncts at a minimum was re jectsd, and the horsepower will stand at 23,eoe, which, he estimates, will ac- tually bring the speed dsWn to about twenty-oRe aRd a half kRsts. The new beats therefore will be three and half knsts slower than the feEr famous English srmered crHiscrs Of the Drake class. To offset this lack ef speed the Tennessee class will have much naere powerful kattery-RaEa Eaely, feur 10 iach guns in tive turrets against tyre g1a inch guns h the main batteries of the British ships.
