THE STATE OF TRADE,
REVIEW OF THE WEEK NJ
MEssRs, DUNN Is COMPANY.
RETAIL BUSINESS BETTER
Lower Temperature and Holiday De-
mnnds Have Combined to Acce-
Ierate It Shipping Departments
Crowded With Work.

NEW YORK, December 12.-Messrs- Z.
G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF Trace
tomorrow will say:
Lower temperature and holiday de-
mands have combined to accelerate retail
trade, sales largely exceeding the cor
responding week in preceding years.
Much postponed business is being made
up, and shipping departments are crowd
ed with work, but wholesale trade has
ruled quiet. Railroad earnings for the
month of November exceeded last years
by 10 per cent, and those of 1900 by -o.5
per cent. At first glance, the sudden rise
in furnace stocks OF pig iron to 9i,..9a
tons, compared with H,S9S on November
1st. might suggest that consumption was
below production, but obviously any az
emulation that occurs is due to made
quate transportation facilities. since
needs are urgent, as evidenced by the
imports of eastern steel works.
Conditions are practically unchanged as
to cotton goods. a fair volume of orders
preventing accumulation at tue mills.
Quotations are steady. and export sales
of heavy brown cottons continue very
small
Failures this week in the United States
are $50, against 213 the corresponding
week last year.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
ARRANGEMENT MADE.
Something Signed ut Havana, But
Exactly What the Authorities
DON'T Seem to Know.

of the commercial treaty between Cuba
and the United States. was signed at
IL o'clock last night.
WHAT Us SIGNED?
WASHINGTON. D c.. December ~
Treaty signed 11:i5 last night" was
the message which came to the State
Department to-day from General Bliss,
at Havana. confirming the press report
Of the conclusion OF reciprocity ar
rangement between the United States
and Cuba. The officials here are puzzled
to know just what has been signed; they
thought that a protocol or protocols
had been prepared. but General Bliss's
message carries the inference that he
has actually concluded deiintive reci-
procity treaty. If he has done SO. the
President will accept it and forward it
to the Senate for its action, and the
offices of Minister Quesada here will not
be required to give effect to the conven-
ton.
Inc State Department does not feel
at liberty to make public the details of
the arrangement; in fact, some of these
will not be known until the Havana mail
reaches here, for General Bliss mas I'M
doUbtedly made some changes in the
duties on American imports into Cuba
originally proposed.
