IS 1 DECIDED IMPROVEMENT
Showing in Business Circles Is
Very Encouraging.


New York, Dec. 81 r. G. Dun 3
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says;
Business is decidedly better than at
any recent date, and the Improvement
is not confined to activity in holiday
goods, although the best reports con-
Germ those lines. Continued lower tenn
perature not only stimulates sales, but
jobbers are receiving supplementary
orders for seasonable goods, and coll
lections are more prominent. Build
ing permits issued during November
exceeded the same month last year.
railway tonnage is heavy, and several
manufacturing branches are starting
idle machinery. On the other hand,
there is no improvement of the situa-
ton in the cotton industry, and fuel
producers are restricting output. Con-
f1dence is increasing IN the iron and
steel industry and the feeling is becom-
ing more general that prices will not
be materially lower, except possibly in
some departments that have not yet
participated in the readjustment,
Failures this week numbered S29 in
the United States aginast 267 last year,
and in Canada 20 compared with 16 a
year ago.

tail business generally is seasonably
active, wholesale and jobbing trade
CORRESPONDENCE quiet, while manufac-
turing industry slackens partly for the
above reasons, but also because Of low
water in streams, or efforts to readjust
operations to changed conditions OF
demand and supply. Cold weather is
still an important stimulus to heavy
wearing apparel and footwear. There
are. several continuously encouraging
features noted. The car congestion of
a year ago is conspicuously absent this
year and the railways are handling the
current excellent business offering with
profitable results. Failures do not dis

Hopes to Avoid Rupture.
Paris, Dec. 81 Russia has made an
other move toward avoiding a rupture
with Japan, and there is reason to be-
lieve it will be followed in a few days by
the submission of a second proposition
tending to ameliorate the present
strained situation. The action already
taken consists in giving assurances that
the first proposition which the car ap-
proved was not in any sense an ulti-
matum, or sine qua non, but was pre-
liminary step tending toward q pacific
adjustment. This declaration Is con-
sidered by the officials here as remov-
ing one Of the most dangerous aspects OF
the situation, as it had been asserted
that Russia's proposition was practi-
cally an ultimatum, which, on being re-
jected by Japan, made a rupture GER
tain. On the contrary, Russia's assur-
ances permit Baron De Rosen, the Rus
sian minister at Toxic. to continue the
negotiations, even beyond the terms of
the first proposition.
The Russian authorities have not yet
definitely been advised Of Japan's re-
lection Of the proposition, but If the
rejection is omcially communicated an
other Russian proposition will be made,
looking towards the avoidance Of a rup-
ture. The nature of the terms OF this
further proposition Is not disclosed, as
it depends on Japan's reply, but Russia's
intention to make another proposition
is considered to be distinct ameliora-
ton OF the situation

DeceitfuI Sheen,

Out at the abattoir the pets among
the sheep may be distinguished by
their superior height and shapeliness
and by the intelligence Of their ex-
preston. The pets are murderers. In
the other pens sheep come and go by
thousands to the slaughter, but the
pets remain. They are trained to lead
their fellows to death, and they do this
work well, for they have, by reason
of their strength, intelligence and beau
ty, a great influence. When the butch
ers of the abattoir wish to slaughter
a flock of sheep word is passed to the
pets, and they indiherently, calmly
saunter in among the flock. gain their
confidence and esteem, and then take
their places ut their head, and lead
them to the slaughter house. The
blood-stained and murderous pets have
more than one unsheeplikc quality.
They eat pretzels and pie and drink
