TRADE REVIEW.
Qufet Fellows the Usual Holiday
Rush in Many Lines of
Business.

New York. Dec. 27.-R. G. Dun G.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade 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 completed
at the specified time. Industrial un-
dertakings 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 COM
modities are firmly held by the steady
domestic demand, and there is a good
export movement of the leading
staples. In this, as in many other in
stances, however, there is still the
drawback of inadequate transporting
facilities which restrict shipments to
the seaboard. Financial conditions are
satisfactory. Railway earnings thus
far reported for the month of Decem-
Der surpass last years by so per cent.
and those of 1900 by 11.6 per cent.
Quiet conditions in the iron and steel
industry, unaccompanied by any sign
of weakness, testify to the healthy tone
and suggest bright outlook for the
coming year. Furnaces and mills will
extend the season of idleness beyond
the usual time, not because orders are
lacking, but in order to accumulate a
moderate supply of coke. A very large
amount of business will be carried over
into next year, probably more than in
any previous season. Failures for the
week numbered 200 in the United
States, against $50 last year and 81 in
Canada, compared with % year ago."
Bradstreet's says: satisfaction
with the old and confidence in the new
year are the dominating features as
1902 draws to a close. The enormous
holiday trade, exceeding in most re-
spects all records, proved to be a fit
ting crown to a year of almost unpre-
cedented business and industrial ac-
tivity. Except in some sections of the
south and southwest, where crop and
weather conditions had led to a modi-
fication of other sanguine expecta-
tions, the volume of seasonable bust
ness is in most respects satisfactory
In the east, the west, the northwest
and on the Pacific coast, there is but
one note, and that of satisfaction with
the results achieved during the past
few weeks. Additional reports re-
ceived of trade distribution for
the year confirm those hitherto given
| of an enormous volume of business
modified, it is true, in some respects
by higher cost of materials and wages
limiting profits. With the larger turn
over, however, and the active demand
in most lines, the profit side has not
been entirely lost sight of, and it is
safe to say that equally satisfactory
returns in years to come would prove
acceptable. Reports of results il
banking circles this year are that gOoC
profits have been gained as il result
of the comparatively high and at the
same time steady rates of money"

''From San Antonio to Caracas"
Tt meant a distance of a thousand
miles, a toilsome journey for even
such enthusiastic followers. But the
Journey was accomplished by the
army and the leader, "Cayito," Lit
tie Corporal, as he was called by his
men. Castro led his army by means
of rapid marches over the mountain
passes, and was joined before Bar
quisimeto by the forces of Gen. Her
nandez, who had begun revolution

to this one of Gen. Castro's. Politi-
clans all over Venezuela, becoming
dissatisfied with various acts of the
president, soon joined with Castro in
the overthrow of the esta blished gov
crnment; and the revolution start
ed in Los Andes spread throughout
the country.
A battle was fought near Barquisi-

revolutionary forces were successful.

routed with loss of more than 1,OOO

steadily on Caracas, and Andrade,
who had been absent commanding his
troops in the field, began prepara-

but when the siege of Caracas was
imminent, Andrade sent message
that he was ready to resign in order
that the peaceful election of Castro
might be effected. There was par
leying for 9 fortnight, at the expira-
ton of which time Castro sent an
ultimatum, which was accepted. Then
Andrade fled to La Guayra, and Cas-

Wells IN UNIVERSAL VOGUE.
Chiffon and TuIIe Are Popular for
the Face and Draperies
ON the Hat.

Wells may be said to be the universal
vogue with fashionable women at pres
ent, and in those of the European coun-
tries from which we draw advices of
the mode and supplies of millinery
wares. The veilings continue to be of
chiffon and tulle-the former variously
worn over the face, and used for drap-
cry on hats--the latter worn eXclu-
sively over the face. Whether of one
or the other gossamer tissue, they are
this season mostly in black and white,
or in gray effects of black and white,
or of white and black, the fancy of the
existing mode seeming not much to
favor fancy colors in these tissues, says
the Millinery Trade Review. Wafer
spots and the other figures of velvet
in black and white relieve the veilings
both of chiffon and tulle, while chiffon
gossamers show in some cases embroi-
derry and other enrichments of design
in manufacture, and those of tulle
threading traceries, seeding and other
interesting conceits, of design, tending
to their identifying effect upon their
fair wearers.
The elsie veil, which has fanciful
bordering at the lower edge, and is
worn to fall loosely, after the man
ner of the wells of lace of two score
years ago, or in the days of our moth
ers, is just now much affected for the
beauty veil; although seen mostly in
chiffon, printing on tulle is among the
new ideas to give variety to the manu-
facture for yelling purposes, and large
open meshings vary the close of ma
lines weaves. When the range in price
for wells, from IL cents to SIP, is quoted
the range in variety and quality of
manufacture can be IMAGINED

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Sept. 15.--The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady at an advance
OF IL points to a decline of points.
FEBRUARY and March were the only OPP
tions lower. The advances were due
TO renewal of bull support and COW
ering following the higher English
spot market, where prices were mark
ed up another 16 points and the relative
nrmnesS. of September in that market
which advanced beyond local expecta-
tions, while the later positions were
hardly as high as had been considered
due on the New York closing of the
previous day. September here came in
for the most aggressive support, and
sold as high as 11.30c on the call, while
October reached 10.1 and December
$3.50 and January 9.77c. Almost imme-
diately, however, selling orders came
pouring in as a result of disappoint-
ment over the showing of the weather
map, which had been expected to re-
fleet no little damage from the South
ern storm. This however, appeard to
have spent it's force in Florida, and to
have developed into nothing more than

thought to be more beneficial to cotton
than harm, and brought about active
selling for both accounts, under which
prices reached a level some 7@9 points
below yesterdays level. Then. it was
noted that the forecast called for cool
er weather with frost predicted IN por-
tions of Texas and outside selling or
ders subsiding, the room turned for
cover and prices rallied partially. The
advance was short lived, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the regular weekly
report of the Weather Bureau proved
even more bullish than had been look
ed for and during the afternoon the
market ruled generally weak, reaching
the lowest point of the session under
active liquidation and selling for short
account. September sold as low as
10. 92c; October, 9S6c, and December
9.79c and January 9.77c. Just before
the close the demand became slightly
better on the reaction theory, and sep
TENDER rallied few points, closing at
1I.01c. Generally speaking, however:
prices were finally at the lowest OF
the day, with the market steady net
1920 points lower. Sales estimated at

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet &c higher
than yesterday, with sales by factors
Of 7S6 bales. The receipts were 1896
bales, against S,528 bales last year. The
demand was fairly satisfactory,
though a marked backwardness was
shown among exporters, which indi-
Gated that asked prices probably ex-
ceeded their limits. The outlook for the
spot market would seem to be good,
in view of present weather conditions
and the prospects for landing cotton
in port. Urgent demand for supplies
may bring exporters into the spot mar
ket, when good prices would doubtless
be expected by holders.
In the f. o. b. market inability to
guarantee deliveries was drawback.
Unless the cotton can be landed here
within a few days it will not be in time
for September sailing, and unable to
ship this month, exporters are indiffer-
ent about buying at the moment. The
weather is playing havoc with many
interior shippers, whose towns are
tied up by rains and stormy weather.
The current quotations for good mid
ding at to-day's closing was lie.
Early in the day sales were made LIS
9&c higher, but with quick delivery
guarantee.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
