Among the navy orders a few days ago
was one TO the effect that Civil Engi-
neer Ulysses Simpson Grant White
should be detached from duty at Homo
lulu and ordered nome. The fact that
one OF the papers referred 70 him as L..
G. White recalled some examples Of the
changes in names OF army and navy
officers.

who was from Georgetown. Ohio. the
early home Of General Grant. heswas ap-

R. G. DUN,s REVIEW.

New York, Dec. 23.-R. c. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say: Demand for holi- day goods has exceeded expectations. but trade in staple merchandise is reasonably quiet. Business conditions are satisfactory, however. manufactur- ing plants producing freely except where insufficient water supply res- tricted operation and large volume of option trading was recorded for the week at the leading commodity ex- changes. Traffic returns continue favorable. railroad earnings for Decem- Der thus far exceeding last years by 76 per cent Foreign commerce at this port during the last week showed increases of s1.415.369 in exports and $2.0S9.0 .050 in imports as compared with the same week in 1903.
 Low water in the Connellsville region Is the only disturbing factor affecting the iron and steel industry. Coke out put and transportation are both un- satisfactory in consequence. ln- stead of having no extensive enect on the industry as was at first hopefully predicted, this scarcity of water is seri- ously retarding recovery in the Pitts burg region and it will be some time before normal conditions are restored. Were 1t not for this setback 1t is almost certain that the production of pig iron would now equal the highest point on record. There is less disposition to de- fer orders for steel rails and a large part of next years production has been engaged or Is now under negotiation. Other forms of railway equipment are more active. Jobbers are placing orders for pipe on a scale that indi- cates expectation of higher quotations and there Is unusual interest for this season in structural material. Wire and tin plate works are reported as running close to their full capacity.
 Conditions in the cotton goods mar ket are calculated to induce conservat- ism and trading is restricted to i'm mediate requirements. Prices are fairly well maintained.
 Business In woolens Is brisk, buyers evidently anticipating an early advance in the newly opened heavy weight goods. Other lines are also coming on the market at lower prices than the position of the raw material seems to warrant and 1t Is suggested that dupli- cate orders will not be taken at origi- hal figures.

DIsCHARGING FIREWORKS.
Chief Gerald Sets Apart Lots for This
 PurnOAe,

The lawmakers of the city. wishing to make little children as unhappy as possible under the circumstances at Christmas have passed ordinances pro- hibiting the firing of fire-crackers and other such explosives in the streets or even the yards of their parents. but Chief Gerald of the police department has come to their rescue.
 He knows as well as anybody that little boys and girls do not want to be locked up in dark cells In the city prison and maybe sent to the coal mines by Recorder Arlington, so he has issued n circular naming the places where fire-crackers. roman can dles, sky-rockets and other such fiery pleasures may be discharged.
 The circular was issued yesterday by order of Mayor Carr and patrolmen distributed them about town so all could read and understand. Vacant lots in every part of Montgomery are set apart for a noisy Christmas so that no neighborhood will be slighted.
 The city wharf at the foot of Com merce Street. the reservoir property at the head of Monroe Street, the old Hussey property on South Perry Street between Scott and Alabama Streets, the vacant lots at the intersection of South Hull Street and Genetta ditch and vacant lots in Highland Park North Montgomery. West End and Oakley are included in the list desig- mated as safe locations by the city government.
 A full list of the locations is pub lished slsewhsra io, todaY's Advertiser.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
HOLIDAY TRADE HOLDS CENTRE
 OF STAGE.
Wholesale Business and Stock and Staple Speculation Has Quieted Down While Iron and Steel
 Display Activity.

New York, Dec. 23.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Holiday trade and retail business generally hold the center of the stage, wholesale business and speculation in stocks and staples quieting down. Iron and steel dis played activity and strength and there were further advances on crude and finished products. On the other hand, the drouth in the upper Allegheny Mountain regions and in New England affects blast furnace operations, coke production and the output of paper and other mills. In the upper Ohio valley the low and unsuitable water supply affects railroad operations to some ex- tent. Aside from this single draw back. however, transportation is in enormous volume and exceeds car capa- city in some industries notably bitu- minous coal. Railway earnings (gross) are up to the best of the year and eX- ceed all previous periods at this time Net returns indicate present profitable operation about making up for lessened earnings earlier in the year. Clearings have slumped off from preceding weeks enormous totals, but still large ly exceed returns of year ago. A preliminary survey indicates close to-, if not in excess of record proportions in holiday business. except in some portions of the South: good collections, except at the few southern and west ern points, easy money in all directions a good volume of spring business already booked and the general feel ing of conservative optimism. Produc- tion of iron and steel is close to full capacity except where interrupted by local conditions of coke and car supply but evidently fails to meet consump- tive Inquiry. which is large and insis- tent for pig iron, structural material bars, plates, bolts and a variety of less important products, all of which are higher. Among the metals tin and copper alone show weakness. Leather is firm and lumber is steady.
 The textiles show more variance in price. due mainly to the absence of speculation and large receipts, despite the holding back movement at the South Wool is strong and supplies are limited
