RETAIL TRADE LIvENS UP
Sales Largely Exceed Those of Correspond
ing Week Last Year.
STEEL is HANPEREO BY CAR SHORTAGE
Dun Reports Less Business Failures,
Says Leather stays Quiet, but
Cotton and Wool Doth show
Healthy Activity.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Lower temperature and holiday demands
have combined to accelerate retail trade,
sales largely exceeding the corresponding
week In preceding years. Much postponed
business is being made up and shipping de-
partments are crowded with work, but
wholesale trade had ruled quiet. Railroad
earnings for the month Of November ex-
ceeded last years by Z per cent and those
of 1900 by 205 per cent.
At the first glance the sudden rise in fur
mace stocks of pig iron to 81, 295 tons, as
suggest that was below pro-
duction, but obviously any accumulation
that occurs Is due to inadequate transport
tatiOn facilities, since needs are Urgent, as
evidenced by the imports of eastern steel
works. The pressure is still greater for
railway supplies, with structural material
next as to urgency of demand.
shoe season IL over.
Small supplementary orders for spring
shoes are received by New England shops,
but the season is practically over. Aside
from activity in union sole the leather mar
have occurred in domestic hides. On the
other hand, foreign dry hides are firmly
neld, despite increased receipts.
Conditions are practically unchanged as
to cotton goods, a fair volume of orders
preventing accumulation at the mills. Quo
tations are steady and export sales OF
heavy brown cottOns continue very small
Wooden goods for next fall have been
opened at an average advance OF from 5 to
10 per cent.
Failures this week in the United States
are 269, against 2N last week, 23 the pre-
ceding week and 273 the corresponding week

TRACK RECORD BROKEN
FAST TINE BY VULCAN AT THE
MONTGOMERY PARK RACES.
Seven and Half FuriOngs Covered
i'm 40 3-4-WinDers at Ben
nings and Oakland.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, April 11.-Fair weather
and six well-flled races brought out large
crowd to Montgomery Park this after
noon. The seven-and-a- half-furlong track
record of 1854 was again broken, Vulcan,
from the Hildreth stable, going the dis
lance in 1854. Vulcain was always favor
lite, while Wax Taper, carrying the heavy
impost of 121 pounds, was second choice
over Brigade. The latter jumped to the
front at the fall of the flag and set a hot
pace down the back stretch. AT the far
turn Vulcain moved up and in a drive
won from Brigade by a neck. The latter
beat Wax Taper nose for second money.
In the first race, at six furlongs, Theory,
the favorite, in canter from Ben
Battle The Don won the second race
handily from Kings Lady. The favorite,
Gold Bell, finished third The third race
at seven furlongs, furnished the best bet
favorite, but a steady play on Barouche
forced the odds down to even. To a good
start Jessie jumped forward and
opened up gap of five lengths. In the
run home she tired, and MarQue, at long
odds, won by a neck from Barouche. Eva
Russell, a two-year-old from Schorrs's
barn, won the fifth race in a drive from
Lady Lake, while the sixth event, at a
mile and sixteenth, was won by McWil-
liams, an extreme outsider. The track was
very fast. Winners in order: Theory, 6 to

BUSY DAY FOR FIREMEN.
Apartment Building and Other Build
ings Burned-One Man Killed.

CHICAGO. April 1.-Two fires, one of
which destroyed several buildings at Nine
ty-second street and Commercial avenue,
while the other destroyed the Renfost
apartment building, called out nearly the
entire fire department here this afternoon.
The Renfost is one of the oldest buildings
of its kind in Chicago. Seventy-two fam
lilies occupied it recently, but more than
half of them removed on notice that it
was intended to remodel it. Those who
had not yet found other quarters escaped
without much difficulty. The loss is put at
SIZE, 600 while the loss at Ninety-second
street and Commercial avenue is estimated
al $4,000.
Patrick Mccormick, a fireman of one of
the engine companies, was hit by debris
from the falling walls of the RenfrOst
building and killed. Flying embers set fire
TO the building at DreXel avenue and Fifty
second street two blocks from the Rem
frost occupied by the Chicago Hospital
School for Children. Fifteen children suf-
fering from nervous diseases were i'm the
building. but all were carried out safely.
The fire i'm that building was with difficulty
nut under control.

LONDON April lin spite of to-days

will be able to introduce the budget on
Monday next, there are many who believe
that another postponement is likely TO re-

of the chancellor OF the exchequer is more
diplomatic than organic. Those who waited
on the colonial secretary, Mr.. Chamberlain,
yesterday to discuss the position of the
trade of the West Indies went away with
strong impression that the government
even at this late date. had not definitely de-
cided how to raise the sum represented by
the enormous deficit. Nevertheless, count
less rumors regarding the budget provisions
continue to circulate. The Associated Press
has good reason for believing that tax
will be imposed on flour, while it is possible
that some sort Of duty will be placed on
wheat. The oil trade anticipates a duty on
petroleum, but this is merely an intelligent
surmise. as the budget proposals are
