ing in Business Circles.
TRAFFIC CONGESTION.
Increased Earnings of Railways
Indicate Removal
Of One Drawback on the Com
MERGE of the County.

New York. Nov. Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Labor organizations are accepting re-
auctions in wages without controversy,
which removes one threatening indus
trial factor, and in several branches of
business orders are more numerous, but
in the steel industry there is little ex-
pectation of liberal buying until 1904.
Construction work is decreasing, de-
spite optimistic reports of more build
ing permits issued last month than a
year ago. Mild weather still checks dis
trtbution of merchandise usually in
brisk demand at this season, which is
reflected in restricted activity at wool
en- and worsted mills and clothing fac
tories. There is not the complaint of
traff1c congestion that was so frequent
last year at this time, railway earnings
81 per cent higher than in November
to date in 1902, testifying to the in
crease in facilities.

Boston, Nov. 21.-Will the champion
Boston American team be disintegrated
next season? is question that IS
agitating the fans here. President Kill
lilea has been exceedingly Disguised by
the way he has been treated by some OF
the members of the team, and his cup
of Indignation is full to Overlooking.
Before any peace arrangement had been
concluded between the American and
National leagues he was at the mercy
matters warm for him, but his day has
come and those who propose to dictate
to him on what terms they will sign a

more money. Collins was not rated as
a man who could manage or captain g

He was signed for the Boston team a

roads have placed orders for several
thousand tons. Meanwhile, foreign
markets are sought with more persist
ence. Machinery and hardware have
felt the reaction less thus far than
structural material and other heavy
shapes, while new shipbuilding plants
and machinery for the Panama canal
are encouraging features of the future.
Minor metals are quiet aside from some
speculative fluctuations at London.
Orders for cotton goods increase
gradually, both for immediate ship
ment and forward delivery, and there
is less disposition on the part of pur-
chasers to secure concessions in quota
lions. Trade is by no means active. Ex-
port inquiries are more numerous, but
actual business is small. Wooden goods
await the stimulus of lower tempera-
ture; meanwhile the tone is not firm.

NOT TO RACE THIS WINTER.
McChesney May Not Start in the
West Next Year.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 21.-There is
little likelihood of McChesney, the west
ern champion, leaving his present east
ern home for winter racing. S. c.
Hildreth, who handles the western di-
vision of E. E. Smathers' horses, re-
ceiVed information from Mr.. Smathers'
eastern trainer today that McChesney
would remain east this winter and will
be given slow preparation next
spring for some valuable New York
engagement
1t is Smathers' ambition to be repre-
scented in Suburban and Brooklyn Han
dicaps, and Frank Taylor, who has
charge of McChesney. thinks that Nc
Chesney, with just assignment of
weight. will walk away from any field
of horses he meets in the eastern
classic.
The decision of Smathers in keeping
McChesney east was a disappointment
to Hildreth, VINO said. I had hoped
to have Mac with me in New Orleans
this winter. He is horse that needs
bit of racing all year around
In that way he keeps in better con-
dition than by TOO much rest doubt

kid" Abel, also of Chicago, at the end
Of 20 rounds of fast and interesting
fighting in the Missouri Athletic club
arena last night. Herman's marvellous
stiffness enabled him to make every
round his, not only on points, but on
blows as well. Abel could do little or
nothing with Herman, and did not land
one good blow on Herman's face during
the whole bout Herman stepped from
the ring victorious without a mark of
the battle, while Abei's face was swollen
and bleeding and both eyes were nearly
closed. The effects of Herman's might
ing were also shown on AbePs left side
which was swollen and red from the
victor's short arm jabs.
