DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Jan. 10.-R. G. Dun &
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade tomor
row will. say: OF the unprecedented
holiday business ended, transporting
facilities are more nearly adequate for
regular requirements. Merchandise
moves to consumers more promptly,
and in the iron region there is less In
terruption to work because Of insult
cient fuel. Normal conditions have
By no means returned. however, and
lit will be some time before shippers
can safely guarantee deliveries on a
specified date. Buying Of staple
commoditie is on large scale, fully
sustaining quotations at a high level,
except in the few instances where
efforts were made to hold prices above
the point warranted by. the ratio Of
needs to supplies. Labor controver-
sizes are few and unimportant, while
the new year has brought advances in
the rate of wages at many points.
HOLIDAY idleness, inventories and
annual overhaulings were all cut down
to the lowest possible limit at iron
and steel plants in the effort to meet
urgent demands from customers. Al
though railways largely augmented
supplies of rolling stock during 1901,
contracts for this years delivery al
ready aggregate many months full ca
=pacity of shops.
Activity continues at cotton mills,
although domestic buying is on a
moderate scale. Exporters are bid
ding freely for heavy goods, but as a
rule fall short of holders views, and
little new business is recorded.
Reports of unfavorabie weather IN
winter wheat regions stimulated
prices, and there was further support
in the general resumption of activity
at -four mills, together with added IN
quiry for foreign account.
Corn was fairly we'll held in sympa-
thy with wheat, but some soft spots
developed. as was natural in view Of
the fact that the price is now more
than so per cent, higher than a year
ago. Cotton was depressed by liberal
receipts, though foreign conditions
have improved, and the quotation is
almost $40 bale lower than at this
time last year.
Failures for the week numbered 513
in the United States. against 324 last
year, and q in Canada against 81 last
year.

A remarkable she'll of new type
that has just been introduced into
the German army is stated zto. be re-
ceiving# the close attention of the Brit
ish war office. By the Introduction of
a cartridge composed of amorphous
phosphorus into the ordinary charge
of smokeless powder thick white
smoke is emitted when the she'll bursts,
this showing the gunners, even at the
greatest distance, how close the pro-
jectiIe has gone to the enemy's posi-.
tion. By increasing the proportion OF
this chemical, an operation which
does not lessen the bursting effect, it
is held to be possible to deposit in
front of the enemy s position thick
wall of white smoke, which for many
seconds will altogether obliterate his
view Of the fled.

II is reliably stated that American
manufacturers are still treating
Hawaii as foreign territory in that
they sell goods there at much lower
price than they do at home, and that
goods have actually been sold in
Hawaii, resbipped to this country by
the purchasers and sold at profit IN

that our manufactures must be allow

.AzWarning From New York:

Inshissfrst message tosthe Board of
Aldermen, Mayor Seth sEow referred
to.sthe ,Tammany system. Of govern
ment aga system Of g blackmail' and
ssshakedown, 8 rake:of, calling
for thesi iflegi dmatei payment sof money
atsevery turn. This system existed
forso long under Tammany rule that
the of6cials OF government actually
came believe that it was perfectly
right and proper for these who had
charge of the government :tosuses the
publicsreyenues and aall other advan-
tages of posi- ton TO put money into
their purses. Public Office with these
people was legitimate esspofl, and this
man and that was privately assess
&c, z, and the general public taxed:for
the enrichment Of the officers and
their friends.
But this vicious system is not con-
fined to- New York. 1t is openly
charged insthe city Of Richmond that
members Of the Council have used heir
official position for the promotion OF
their own selfish schemes, and other
wise for profit to- themselves. We do
not make this charge, because we have
no proof to sustain it, and it's most
difcn1t to obtain absolute proof IN q
case :of this character. But the Rich
mond City Council should be above
suspicion, and If the people Of this
community would save their govern
ment from: the rake-off'' and shake
down. system, they must select as
their representatives men who are
known to be honest and patriotic, and
bomb-proof against the wiles OF the
bribe-giver. iver.s..@.s
: If We tolerate in any form this
vicious system, or if we tolerate
councilmen who are reasonably under
suspicion, be sure the system will
grow sapace. and the number Of cohn-
cilmen VINO believe in the rake-of
and shake-down' will increase from
year TO year until the system will be
as we'll established in Richmond as it
was established under Tammany rule
In New York.-Richmond Times.
