AN UNSUITABLE DEMAND
foreign Markets Neglected in Order 10 Supply
The Domestic Requirements. Railroads
Suffered as Never Before From
Congestion Of Freight.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Dec. 30.-Bradstrect's re-
view of the business year, to be ISSUED
Saturday next, will have the following:
To say that 1902 was the best year this
country has ever experienced, while
truthful enough in the main, does not
suggest fully the enormous strides which
the United States took in the year just
closed. Practically every branch Of every
trade and manufacture showed an in
crease above the best of previous years,
and yet this immense enlargement Of out
put was not sufficient of itself to satisfy
the growing, it might be termed insatia-
bic, demand for all kinds of materials
In many cases the usual foreign outlet
for our products was, perforce, neglected
by American producers, who confined
their efforts to supplying insstent domes-
tic demands, while in others foreign
production was called upon for reinforce
ment of the domestic output With the re-
suit that new currents and channels were
created in our foreign trade. Our export
trade therefore. shrunk, while Cur i'm
ports expanded to unprecedented figures.
The railroads Of the country, in their
efforts to handle the business offered
them, suffered as never before from con-
gestion and complaint of interference
with production and distribution Of the
products of the farm, the mine, the shop and
the loom was practically universal In
dustrial unrest was naturally marked as
it always is in the times Of prosperity
or depression, and serious disorganizatiOn
Of some OF the country's basic industries
resulted for q time. In many cases,
however, resort to extremes was avoided
CT rendered unnecessary by liberal recOg-
milton by employers of changes in the
standard Of living, and it is safe TO say
that two men obtained higher wages or
had their working time reduced without
resort to strikes for every one who act
uaily cult work. Speculation. it is true,
folt the checks imposed upon it by cHn-
serva tism, by short crops in the preceding
year, and last but not least by high rates
for money; but despite the fact that stock
market operations were only about one
half those of 1901, banking clearings
those usually reliable guides or business
showed aggregate specie equal to the
hitherto unheard- of totals of 1901. All
this was accomplished with a minimum
of friction as reflected in the form Of
business ambarrassments

The original picture was paint
cd by Julio, Of New Orleans, La,

are almost entirely out of the

with a FURNISHED silver cartridge

THEATER NOTES.
SHOW Coming to the Opera House next
Friday Prisoner of Eenda Booked
Kellar to Open the House.

Manager Swisher has finally closed
negotiations with shipman brothers
for an early presentation OF 1.-The
Prisoner OF Zenda.n
Everyone is more than passiDgiy ac-
Quainted with this romantic story of
Anthony Hopes from which the stage
version Is extracted. And the merits
Of the book were more than equalled
by the success OF the play when it ran
for an entire season in New York City
proving to be one of E. FL S1thern's
best vehicles.
The energetic firm Of Shipman
Brothers will guide this attraction on
its present tour, presenting it with a
strong cast and a rnagnificence of
scenic effects. The engagement is
booked at the opera house on Nov. Ist.
Mr.. Il. ID. Shaw late manager of
Robert Downing and business repre-
sentative for Robert E. Mantell and
Frederick Warde and other we'll known
stars and attractions was in town last
evening paving the way for the com
ing of the "Weary Willie Walker Co.
on next Friday night.
Mr. Shaw says this is his first exper-
fence with farce comedy company
and that he has been greatly surprised
at the phenomenal business done by
his attraction. This be attributes to
the public taste for this class OF en-
tertainment as well as the special
merit of the attraction itself, which
he claims is play of unusual excel
lence and presented by one Of the
highest salaried companies on the
road.
The house will be regularly opened
on September 8th when Kellar comes.
This attraction will pack the house,
During the season the best line OF
shows ever given in Morgantown will
be presented. The amusement loving
public is to have great year.
