Bratlstrett's Review.

New York, Dec. 2.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Developments have been mainly favorable. Cool weath sr has helped retail trade, stimulated re- orders from jobbers and improved col lections except in portions of the South, where holding of cotton Is reported |. Heavy dry goods, clothing, shoes, Ero- ceries and hardware note relatively most activity. Holiday trade has open ed well and promises a very large az gregate. Breaks in raw material have tended to unsettle cotton goods. induc ing sellers toward conservatism, and prints have been reduced at leading volume point to a heavy turnover pro- ceeding. Clearings. partly because of active stock speculation, are large November totals having only once been surpassed and then in May, 1901. Fall ures are fewer in number and liabili- ties the slightest in any month but one of 1904. Railway earnings testify to heavy traffic, with gains over a year ago. and car shortages are feature in widely separated sections. Money is more active. Generally speaking, the feeling in trade and industry Is opti- mistic. the only drawbacks noted being that manufacturers are confronted with prospective high costs of produc- tion and the prevailing Western drought renders the outlook for the winter wheat crop unfavorable al present.
 In woolen goods the feature is the very high price for the raw material which is in scant supply and firmly held. Advices from Australia and Lon don are of firm wool prices with liberal buying reported from America.
 In iron and steel, pig iron shows rather less feverishness than hereto fore and foundrymen alone in the trade report inquiry in a way backward. De- mand for structural material has shown some increase in activity and pipl manufacturers are covering large sales by purchases of foundry iron Nothing new is yet reportable in the rail industry. but arrangem snts to al low new producers a share of the busi- ness are reported completed. The oth- CT metals. notably copper, lead and tin are strong.
 The leather markets have been strong this week. present prices showing an advance of fully 10 per cent over a month ago.
 Business failures for the week num- Der 1s4. against 193 last week and 23s In the like week in 1903. Failures ir Canada for the week number 26, as against 31 last week and 23 in this week a year ago.

 The United States received last year $131, 100000 of public revenues from the tax on spirits and s47oO0 900 from the tax on beer total of $17S,OOO,OO0.
 The Russian government estimares at s35S.0OO.OO0 its revenue this year Nfrom the sale of liquor, which is mo- nopoly of the imperial government, ex- cept in Siberia, where, on July l, it will become a monopoly. too.
 In Great Britain the revenue from excises, as the tax Is called, averages s13S, ,000, 900 a year. not much less than the revenue of the United States gov ernment from the same source, and there Is. besides, the customs revenue from rum, brandy and other intoxi- cants. amounting to $25,0OO,0oO.
 The French government derives n a year 3OO, 900, 900 francs from the tax n spirits, 25, ,00O, 900 from the tax on beer and 175, 900, 900 from the taxes on wine. cider being included This, says The New York Sun, is $10O,0oO.OOO year from liouor payments, exclusive of the amounts collected as customs duties from wines entered into France for re- shipment or for local consumption. Italy raises about 100, 900, 900 lire a year from excise taxes, the equivalent of about $20,O0O, 900. Holland raises about 5O,OOO,OOo fiorins. from this source, equivalent to $2OO00.00O. The actual contribution of the liquor trade to the income of the State is even larger than these figures indicate. for there are local Ss we'll as national taxes Thus in New York the State revenue from the liquor tax is distinct from the Federal government eoilec-

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
HOLIDAY GOODS ARE NOW MOVING
 FREELY.
Tramc Congestion at Several Points in- sdicate That the Growth of Bust- ness Has Overtaxed Railway Facilities-Decline in
 Cotton.

New York, Dec. AR. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row will say: Holiday goods are moving freely and in staple lines there is more activity. Packing and ship ping departments are increasing ana traffic congestion at several points in- dicate that the growth of business has overtaxed railway facilities. Earnings of all roads reporting for November show an average gain of Fl per cent over last year. Weather conditions have favored jobbing and retail dis tribution of heavy wearing apparel and also accelerated the marketing of new corn, but there is not sufficient moisture for winter wheat or coke production.
 A record breaking yield of cotton is bringing the price nearer the point at which normal consumption may be re- stunned. Other manufacturing news is most gratifying. Structural work fn- creases and car shops are crowded with orders, while many idle steel mills have resumed. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows an in- crease of $2.304.39S in value of imports as compared with last year, and a-loss of $2,035,171 in exports. Relations be- tween supply and demand in the iron and steel industry must be largely in favor of the producer when quotations advance steadily without checking dis
 
 changes Is evidenced by the liberal movement and contracts running into next year indicate that 1905 will estab- fish remarkable record in this in dustrv.
 Increasing offerings of native steers at 14 cents by Chicago packers tended to weaken the tone of the high mar ket. although branded varieties are still firmly held and a large advance oc- cured in foreign dry hides. Leather is stronger.
 The few lines of heavy weight woolens that have been opened were somewhat disappointing owing to the low prices. Although the decline of price of raw cotton will ultimately prove of great benefit in restoring &C., tivity at the mills. the first effect was to check business as buyers naturally were inclined to look for better terms.
 Commercial failures this week in the United States are 245. against 205 last week and 331 the corresponding week last year. In Canada failures number 29 against 39 last week and 23 last year.

As an evidence of this, there have been more deals in real estate in the Canebrake than have occurred in several years.
