RRApsTaEET,s REVIEW.

New York, October 11.-BradstreetS to- morrow will say:
 With the settlement of the great coal strike of 1902, the most remarkable in some respects of modern record, prac- tically the only unfavorable feature in general trade and industry disappears. Coincident with this, also have been the ending of several minor troubles of similar nature. It is natural to expect that present abnormal prices and condi- tions In fuel supply will gradually disap- pear. Some scars of course will be felt and the effect of the costly trouble will, no doubt, be reflected in some permanent loss of trade in the mining regions and in rather higher prices for fuel the coming winter than were paid year ago. All other trade developments this week are largely favorable. SRetail trade has gen. orally improved, stimulated at the west, northwest and south by cooler weather fall festivals and carnivas.
 Jobbing demand is also better, particu- larly at the west. Dry goods, shoe. capi- tai, hat clothing. hardware and lumber dealers have all done well. Season strength is noted in butter and cheese, and the metals are also higher In the general strength of farm products the weakness in cotton is notable Wool is
 
 Improvement in the iron trade as a re- suit of the probable ending of the coal strike is as yet a matter of sentiment, but with the free movement of coal eastern iron furnaces now banked are expected to resume operations, though coke shortage may close valley furnaces. No loss of strength Is shown in heavy goods In fact, the tendency has been rather upward Higher freight rates, hxv ha of from abroad, tends to discourage the imports of foreign pig iron and tariff regulations as to steel billets may check the onward movements of these goods. Domestic billets are higher than last week. Striking advances are shown in nearly all lines of iron and steel as compared with year ago, the range of advances being from $5 per ton in the case of old material to 8 to S7 in the case of pig iron and steel bllets. At l Pittsburg foundry iron Is S2 higher In 1 finished materials similar heavy ad- vances are noted, but exceptions to this are found in sheets, wire nails and tin plates which are generally lower than year ago, owing to increased compe- tition of independent producers. l It Is to be noted. however that Pitts burg reports sheets in better demand at the decline of two weeks ago.
 Wheat including flour, exports for the week ending October 16, aggregate 5,240,- 6SS bushels against 5645, 779 last week and 5. .536 O73 in this week last year.
 Wheat exports since July l aggregate IS, 371, ,1S0 bushels, against 95,17S074 last season.
 Corn exports aggregate 1S0,674 bushels, against 1S0, 35s last week and 640.O33 last year. For the fiscal year exports are 1. .55s. .266 bushels against 14,944S43.

dinner, or will some considerable friend
remember his bachelor friend, and
invite him to partake of the hospitali-
ty and good cheer of a thanksgiving
repast in the heart of a congenial
family circle? is the question which
confronts him.
The turkey, always king of the &C.
casion, has lost none Of its popularity.
Nor has it lost any of its price. In fact
owing to the continued spell of warm
weather. the big bird is scarcer than
ever before, and under the never-fail-
ing laws of Adam Smith, the supply
being unequal to the demand. the mar
ket price is aerial in it's tendencies. The
unreasonable weather has brought
about an absence of the wild birds, and
these. too, bring almost fabulous
prices.
While turkeys will be scarcer this
year than heretofore, there is every
reason to believe that as the festive
season approaches the birds will put
in their appearance in greater num-
bers Many of the poultrymen are fat
tening their fowls so that they will
bring a good price in the market, and
this, too. accounts for the absence of
turkeys on the market.
The people of these parts have no
cause to complain in the matter of the
palatable quail. Whereas a brace of
quail may be had here for half a
dollar. or a dozen for $3.50, Bob White
is bringin just $3.50 and SO per dozen
in the North--and this. too. as far
south as Baltimore.
But there are other dishes besides
fowl and game with which we will
want to provide our dining boards.
Br'r Rabbit may be had for two bits
and less. There are many who will
prefer pork. That may he had for Is
cents, or whereabouts. When the time
comes around, and it is not far dis
tant, there is every reason to sup
pose that there will be an adequate
supply OF meats on the local market.
1t is not unlikely that a cold snap
will find its way here before Thanks
giving Day, in which event prices will
go up.
Pies. Who doesn't think of pies on
Thanksgiving? Cranberries of the
best variety can be bought for IL cents
per quart and nlincemeat at nearly any
old price from, to Is cents. With
a menu of turkey, cranberry pies,
dumplings and wine to look forward
to. who is not giving a thought to
Thanksgiving Day

BIG REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Collections in south Carolina for n
Year More Than 81 100000.

Columbia. S. c.. Nov. 16.-The in
come of the revenue collectors Office
has increased to such an extent that
the development seems to be deserving
of an appropriation for larger quarters.
The headquarters of the internal rev.
enue Office of South Carolina occupy
only two rooms in the government
building. Maj. Micah Jenkins, the rev.
enue collector, thinks the business of
his office has reached such proportions
that should entitle the enlargement of
the federal building. Ten years ago it
was proposed to do away with the
revenue collectors office in South Car
DINA. At that time the collections of
government tax amounted to about
100000 annually. Yesterday Maj. Jen-
kins made the astonishing statement
that this year his office will turn over
to the government over S1.000000.
This increase is due to several cigar
factories and the Richland Distillina
Company. This distillery is now pay
ing to the government about $500 a
day.
