NESS WE'LL ABOVE LAST YEAR.
International Mercantile Agency
Finds Iron Trade Reports Much
More Favorable Than Last Week
Trade Good Over u Wide Area, Al
tho Interior Merchants Arc Still
Inclined to Cautiousness in Buying.

1 r.. p Er
New York, Dec. 24.-Special kilograms
from correspondents of the International
Mercantile agency thruout the United
States and Canada are. summarized as
follows:
Continued cold weather has favored
generally, and the volume of holiday trade
at most large centers has eaualled or ex-
ceeded that of year ago. Pittsburg, Chi
cago and Birmingham authorities agree
that a stopping place has been reached in
the reaction of iron and steel Delayed
orders. many of which were held back to
see. how low prices would go, will be
placed after the holidays. This, many
think, marks the virtual elimination of
the industrial as we'll as the financial de-
preston.
The year closes with much brighter
outlook and with better prospects for gain
than 1902 ended. New England cotton
mills will probably continue running for
the next six months, but some on short
time. owing to scarcity of cotton.
Chicago merchants say interior jobbers
are buying cautiously. st. Paul and Min
neapolis jobbers tell of a steady and gen
eral increase of wealth -thruout the north
west, with a volume of business for the
year fully equal to that of 1902. OnHthe
Pacific coast, notably at San Francisco.
wholesale trade has been the best for
years past at like periods.
In the Dominion Of Canada general trade.
both wholesale and retail, is quite crafty
ing. Stocks are broken and merchants
are ordering freely in seasonable lines
Holiday traffic has been larger than last
year. Exports have been heavy and trade
in all lines for the year constitutes a rec
ord breaker.
Room traders devoted more energy Ito further
ing holiday pranks than to SPECULATION and the
result was 1istless and uninteresting market
Amalgama:ed moved up to 40 u with some show
Of animation, and the Changers were slightly
better. St.. Paul preferred improved 2H, Della
ware & Hudson and Ice preferred 1A.
