EDITOR REPORTER:
The coming man and the new woman
will be here at fhe dawnirg Of the
twentieth century. We hope the new
woman will Prove happiest place on
earth. But if the coming man and the
new woman are like some of the present
day the less of them the better. We
sigh for the good old ia shioned times OF
long ago. For the old fashioned woman,
for the old fashioned husband. They
were true as steel. We never heard Of
an old fashioned husband trying to make
love to his hired girl. We never heard
OF him putting his arm around her neck
and talk soft nonsense in her ear. We
never heard of him buying her gold
ring and telling her not to tell anyone
Where she got it. II the man of the
present time has no more honor than
that his hired girl ought to tell on him..

TRADE REVIEW.
Quiet Follows 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 I'M
dertakings are interrupted in many
eases 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 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 year's'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
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. Avery large
amount of business will be carried over
into next year, probably more than in
any previous season. Failures for the
week numbered 209 in the United
States, against $50 last year and 81 in
Canada, compared with % a year ago.
Bradstreet's says: Satisfaction
with the old and confidence in the new
year are the dominating features as
1909 draws to a close. The enormous
holiday trade. exceeding in most re-
spects all records, proved to be fit
ting crown to 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 Il 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 in
banking circles this year are that good
profits have been gained as a result
OF the comparatively high and at the
same time steady rates of money"
