New York. December 31.-Dun's review will say
on January q:
Most marvellous of ali the phenomenal evidences of
advancement in business during the year was the pro-
gress made in the manufacturing. It is impossible to
he TOO etravagant in elineating the movements of the
industrial world Never the history of this or any
other nation has such development occurred within the
space of a twelve-month The expansion OF produc-
tive capacity enormous, the improved methods OF
work and organization were conspicuous. WISE
factors that made for permanent prosperity was the
conservative resistance to price initiation.
Iron and Steel.
After the reaction of 1900 the level of prices re-
NAMED depressed for some months. but gradually re-
sponded to the increasing demand as excessive
accommodations were absorbed. From condition of
glt there arose almost famine greatly exaggerated
by the stubborn strike Some idea of the changes IN
size of supplies may be found in the comparison of
furnace stocks of pig iron as published in the Iron
AGE. which amounted to 548,663 tons of January L.
These figures steadily declined throughout the year
until only 223 4o2 tons were held on December l.
Aside from the slight fall during the period affected
by the strike there appears almost steady gain IN
production. closing with the maximum quantity on
record.
Judging by the amount of business already placed
for 1902 the current year yield may not unreasonaDy
be expected to surpass seventeen million TONS Output
of rails was beyond all records yet contracts tor l9O1
already assure another high waterrnark of probably
three million tons.
Coal and Coke.
Ali records of output for hard and soft coal were
surpassed during 1901 despite the scarcity of cars that
retarded operations feature of great advantage was
the expanding export movement, which reached more
encouraging proportions than in earlier years In ten
months the value Of shipments was SO O87 against
ST. 800, S64 the previous year. Coke ovens made a
phenomenal record, establishing new high water
mark of weekly output at PASS tons late in No
venber.
The Produce Markets.
While 1900 was the best year ever experienced by
domestic agricultural interests, the opening year of the
new century was in many ways more profitable and
the two together have put the farming population in
much the most satisfactory position in the nations his
tory Formerly the season of harvesting and crop
moving brought heavy borrowing of funds at the East
but interior conditions have changed to such extent
that Western banks are lenders at New York and
Chicago and while there is still large movement of
money away from the East during the fall months it
is of funds that were held for the account of interior
correspondents.
There is steady tendency to enlarge the acreage
sown in the leading crops yet supplies do not increase
owing to the better demand both for home consump-

curtailment Of the crop, which proved the most
important event of the year. While this influence
naturally induced an advance in price that practically
prohibited exports, and thus seriously affected foreign
commerce, it was by means an unml<ed EVIL, since
the return to growers larger than IN year OF
normal production, while the yield OF wheat
was absorbed by stock feeding and foreign consumers
in place of corn Hence, instead of low price for
wheat in proportion to the heavy crop, there was
maintained an even higher average quotation than IN
the short crop the year preceding.
Cotton.
Meats naturally reflected the expensive position of
fodder and it gratifying to notice that exports were
not materially reduced by the high level Cotton

The outlook grew much more cheerful from the pro-

COAL STRIKES GRASP
West Virginia and Virginia Workers
Are Out In Force.
MINE BOSS MEETS DEATH.
More Trouble Feared In Various Sec
lions - Affairs Quiet In Wilkes
barre-RepOrts From Differ
ent Localities Affected.

Wheeling, W. Va, June 9.-The strike
ordered by the United Mine Workers
Of America to take effect in West Vir-
ginia was much more complete in some
districts than was expected and less
effective in others than expected.
The reports are conflicting, but 1t is
evident several thousand more men
went out than were anticipated. The
strike affects not only the industries of
this state, but also railway and river
navigation. All the local roads suffer,
Among the trunk lines the Norfolk and
Western suffered most, but very many
miners We're also idle along the Bati-
more and Ohio and the Chesapeake
and Ohio.
AS rule the miners quit work with
out much demonstration, but in some
places they We're marching with bands
1t is ascertained that the opera tors in
some places had secured many armed
guards in anticipation Of protracted
struggle, If not of violence. In few
places the striking miners were served
longing to the companies.
Miners strongly Organized.
While the strike in this state is gen
orally regarded as sympathetic with
that of Pennsylvania, there Is gener
al impression that the bituminous coal
interests of other states have had their
influence in bringing on a crisis in
West Virginia. There is strong or
ganizatiOn Of miners in this state indie
pendent of the United Mine Workers
Of America, and the members of this
state union have continued work when
the United Mine Workers Of America
had ordered strikes in Indiana, Illinois
and other states.
1t Is currently reported throughout
West Virginia that the bitumnous OPP
orators of other states had refused to
pay the national scale unless the Unit
ed Mine Workers control the mines of
West Virginia. and many believed that
the present struggle Is one of mainte-
nance Of authority Of the United Mine
Workers in states other than West Vir-
ginia.
While there were varying reports Of
violence, they are not confirmed by late
advices, but the people generally in the
mining districts are apprehensive of
serious trouble in the future
Affairs at Grafton.

Str1ke-WOrkers Are JubiIant.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 9.-There is
absolutely nothing new in the anthra
cite coal miners strike, which has now
rounded out its fourth week. Miners
and mine operators had nothing to say.
Here and there, however, men who
were on their way to and from work
We're assaulted, but none Of them was
seriously hurt.
Considerable interest was manifested
In the strike Of the West Virginia soft
coal miners. The anthracite mine
workers hope the strike in that state
will eventually have some good effect
In their own struggle.
President Mitchell, who is directing
the soft coal suspension from here had
nothing to give out regarding the West
Virginia trouble
According to the official figures re-
ceived here, 10000 men have responded
to the first summons in the south, and
as many more are expected to join
them. The mine workers here are jubi-
liant over the news and maintain that
their position, which has been growing
stronger daily, will within the next few
days become impregnable and probably
bring about an understanding within Il
fortnight.
President Mitchell Is SO confident of
success, with the forces now at his
command, that he has refused to ac-
cept the protfered aid of the switch
men and longshoremen throughout the
country, who announce that they will
refuse to handle soft coal If the strike
leaders request such action.
