WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
DUN AND BRADSTREET SUM-
 MARtZE SITUATION.
Manufacturing Conditions still Ir- regular, the Best Symptoms of the Week Being the Stsadi-
 ness of Iron and Stsb.

New York, Dec. AR. G. Dun & Go. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Trade is seasonabiy quiet except in the line affected by weather and those em- bracing holiday goods which are in good footwear jobbers and retailers. Commodi- ties are generally lower in price although a few important articles, such a cotton, eggs and dairy products have risen so cember l was Sss, s,22s, against ss7,S25 a month previous. For the year there is e decline of about per cent. Manufactur- ing conditions are still irregular, the best ness of iron and steel. Textile mills still find it difficult to secure prices in proper ratio to the raw material, the violent ad- vance in cotton adding to the embarrass- ment of the spinners who have only linn. ited supplies on hand. Light stocks of hardwood maintain prices but the de- mand is moderate. Railway earnings m three weeks of November were 4.s per cent. larger than year previous.
 Several encouraging reports are received regarding the iron and steel situation. In most cases the proposed reduction in wages have met with no opposition and such business as comes forward is ham dled without interruption. Another good sign is that the past week has brought no further reductions in prices. Steel mills have received several fair contracts for structural shapes and railway sup plies. These are all evidences of an end to the deadlock betwen buyers and sell CTS while in the trade there Is a growing confidence that the year will bring fur ther revival, though the market is ex- cedingly quiet. The chief event in the export trade was large sale of tin plates for shipment to Canada. Cotton mills have suffered further. from the vagaries of the raw material and the latest ad- vance must have obliterated any profits secured by the reduction of wages.
 Failures this week 331 against 25S last week. 24s the preceding wek and 2O4 the corresponding week last year.

one of the robbers broke open the door
of the inner office with a sledge hammer
which he had brought with him, and Sc
cured $4,000 in. bills which were lying on
the desk. While he was in the inner
office his two companions stood guard
outside with drawn revolvers. No effort
was made to secure the silver money
which was scattered about, and the rob-
bers did not even secure all the bills
which we're in view.
Robbery Carefully Planned.
The robbery was carefully planned,
and the men showed a perfect familiarity
with the arrangement and workings of
the Office. Every step had evidently been
decided upon in advance, and the details
Of the raid fully arranged. Each man
had his work to do, and he performed it
without any signs Of nervousness. The
time chosen was the best suited to their
purpose that could be found, according
to the officials Of the company. Saturday
night is always a heavy night for the
street car companies, and there is never
less than $4,000 in the Office. The rob-
berry occurred just after the last con-
ductor Of the night run had paid in and
gone home. The calculation of the rob-
bers was so close that the last man to
pay in had not gone half block from the
barn when he heard the shots fired.
One thousand dollars has been. Of
fered by the Chicago City Railway
company for the arrest and conviction
of the criminals.
Suspects Under Arrest
Several suspects had been arrested up
to Monday night, and it was announced
by the police that tho man who had
planned the robbery was among them,
and that heshad made confession nam
ing his companions in crime. The police
would not give out his name.
