LARGEST EVER RECORDED
BUSINESS OF GREAT VOLUME, DE-
SPITE UNREASONABLE WEATHER.
Irregularity of Iron and Steel-Slight
Advance in the Cost of Living
The Weeks Bank CIearings.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review tomorrow will say:
Aside from the interruption to retail trade
in winter goods at many points by unsea-
sonable weather, business activity contin-
ues in excess of previous years, and 1t is
probable that all the postponed trade will
be made up, now that low temperature has
become general While the warmest No
vember on record at the East affected sales
of clothing, 1t helped to restore the fuel
equilibrium. Manufacturing plants are
well engaged, and an evidence of the sue
cessful season is found I'M much larger Fall
River dividends.
The course of commodity prices is shown
by Duns index number, which was 800 449
on Dec. l, against s99.75 on Nov. / and
sl01.37S on Dec. /, 1901. Higher prices for
dairy and garden products account for the
rise during November, but ii is particu-
larly gratifying to the consumer that the
present level is nearly / per cent. lower
than at the corresponding date last year.
This change is also in foodstuffs. where the
cost of living was abnormally expanded by
short crops in 1901.
Cotton mills have light stocks, and the
vent accumulation of goods in first hands.
Export trade in heavy brown cottons is un-
satisfactory. Recorder demands for light
weight woolens are limited, and there is
much conservatism in placing spring bust
ness because of the slowness with which
| seasonable goods are moving Owing TO
heavy initial orders, however, mills are
busy A further advance in raw wool gives
better value to the finished product but
selling prices are without alteration.
Irreguarity Is reported in the iron and
steel market, most departments having
much business, while a few are seeking new
orders and seem disposed to make slight
concessions. Stability is naturally most
conspicuous in those divisions where IL has
been possible 10 prevent imitation, while in
cases OF extreme pressure and high pre-
miums for early delivery the imports that
influence. In view OF the scarcity of coke.
it is not easy for domestic producers to
meet this foreign competition, and when
any material reduction is made il NAV be
found that foreign concerns will also cut
prices. Thus far, however, only a Slight
tendency is noted I'm the direction CT cheap-
er iron, and in such products as steel rails
and structural material the consumer can
not hope for early concessions. As IL is
well known that much business is held
back by high prices, there is no prospect
of dizziness in the near future.
Farm products are well sustained, con-
sidering the liberal quantities moving 10
market. Statistics of failures during No
vember disclose no weakness i'm the indus
trial structure On the contrary there Is
every evidence OF strength.

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say:
Seasonable winter weather hitherto con-
spicuously lacking. has come very much
into evidence this week with the result Of
expanding trade in retail. winter goods
sharing, and wearing apparel generally.
Killing frosts have about put a period TO
the marvellous fall season OF 1902 and In
the South the cotton crop may be said to be
made, so far as further growth is concerned
All the usual seasonable changes have
about come TO pass. Dairy products and
produce generally are higher, lake naviga-
ton is about over, iron ore shipments have
ended after the greatest movement on
record and the wheat crop has gone into
winter quarters with fair covering of
snow in northern ATTITUDES. and with a
very generally satisfactory condition rui-
ing throughout much OF the admittedly
very large acreage. Hessian fly damage
to some of the early sown and too rank
growth in the Southwest are the only COM
plants heard OF.
The years approaching end finds prices

SERGEANT CRANE MARRIED.
Discovery Made by superintendent
Tane and Captain HyIand.

A few days ago Desk Sergeant Crane
complained to superintendent Taffe of feel
Ing i'll. Mr.. Taffe ordered Crane TO his
home. Police Surgeon Garstang was sum-
moned and attended the sick man. The
days went by and Crane sent no word to
the Office of Superintendent Taffe as to
when he would return to work, or as to
his condition.
Mr.. Taffe, in company with Captain Hy-
land, drove out to Cranes home yesterday
afternoon. They drove up to the house and
blanketed the horse, intending to remain
with Len for some time. When they
were admitted TO the house Mr.. Taffe at
once said he would like to be admitted to
the sick room where Crane was supposed
TO be. Mrs. Jolly. Cranes daughter. was
astounded at the suggestion that her father
was sick. Captain Hyland said the man
had not been working, and they were I'M
der the impression that he was sick. Mrs.
jolly then. to the surprise OF the police
men. told them that Sergeant Crane had
moved tc IrvingtOn. Inquiry by both SUI
perintendent Taffe and Captain Hyland
ELECTED the information that Sergeant
Crane had been married and had taken up
his residence on Butler avenue in Irving
ton. Nothing more startling has been
known I'm police circles since the street-car
strike.
After returning 10 the police station the
two men advanced many guesses as to the
identity of the bride. IL was finally agreed
that Mrs. Crane was formerly resident
OF Clark county, near New Albany. Just
when Sergeant Crane married Is also a
matter of mystery. About six weeks ago
Crane secured leave of absence and went
10 New Albany. ostensibly TO Visit rela-
lives II is now thought that during that
visit he took the opportunity TO get mar
ried.
When Superintendent Taffe and Captain
Hvland told the other officers that Crane
had got married, IL was Immediately de-
eided to prepare big surprise for him.
The surprise will be one for him TO re-
member a long time IL plans already made

Taffe do not miScarry.
