BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR 1908.
Inadequate Transportation Facili-
ties Restrict Shipments.
FINANCIAL CONDITION GOOD.

New York, Dec. 29.-R. G. Dunn &
Co. IS weekly review says:
Trade and speculation experienced
the customary holiday quiet, except in
Christmas goods, which sold freely,
many packing and shipping depart
ments being still engaged on this class
of work which could not be be accepted
takings are interrupted in many cases
by the taking of inventories, while
other plants are closed because fuel
cannot be obtained. Orders still come
forward freely and the new year will
open with more business on the books
than ever before Prices of commod-
tiles are. firmly held by the steady do
mestic demand and there is good ex-
port movement of the leading staples.
In this as in many other instances,
however, there is still the draw back of
inadequate transportation facilities
which restrict shipments to the sea-
board. Financial conditions are salts
factory. Railway earnings thus far
this month surpass last year by per
cent and those of 1900 by 11.6 per cent.
New England shoe factories are in
full operation and have liberal orders
ON hand. Quotations are firm, but
without change, as there is little new
business coming forward at this time to
produce fluctuations.
An unexpectedly favorable feature
has appeared in the market for cotton
goods. After long season of stagna-
ton in the export division, the demand
for cotton for China suddenly became
considerable. Notwithstanding the de-
preston in silver and liberal stocks of
cottons in Shanghai. Domestic trade
is limited to immediate requirements as
is Seasonable.
Wool is strong with a further advance
anticipated next year. Failures for the
week numbered 2O9 in the United States
against $50 last year and 81 in Canada,
compared with % year ago.

says Mrs. Parker. And all the time
when l was STOPPING over stitch

could not straighten up for while.
II sent and got a couple of boxes Of
