OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNT
COOL WEATHER HELPS TRADE
SITUATION IN COMMERCIAL
LINES rs VERY FAVORABLE.
Holiday Transactions Promise Well
"A General Review Of
Conditions.

New York, Dec. 3.-Bradstreet's
says: Developments have been main
" favorable. Cooler weather has
helped retail trade, stimulated re-
orders from jobbers and improved
collections, except in portions of the
south. where holding of cotton is re-
ported. Heavy dry goods, clothing.
shoes, groceries and hardware note
relatively most activity. Holiday
trade has opened well and promises
very large aggregate. Railway earn
dngB testify to a heavy traffic, with
gains over year ago, and car short
ages are feature in widely separated
sections. Among the industries the
feeling is optimistic, notably in iron
and steel, coal, lumber and kindred
lines. Money is more active. General
~ speaking, the feeling in trade and
industry is optimistic, the only draw
backs noted being that manufacturers
are confronted with prospective high
costs of production, and the prevailing
western drought renders the outlook
for the winter wheat crop unfavorable
at present"
r. g. DUN & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: Holiday goods are NOV
ing freely, and in staple lines there is
more activity, even the products that
are between seasons finding fair
market Packing and shipping de-
partments are increasing forces, and
trafac congestion at several points in
dicates that the growth of business
has overtaxed railway facilities.
Earnings of all roads reporting for
November show an average gain OF
II per cent. over last year. Struc-
turAl work increases and car shops
are crowded with orders, while many
IDLE steel mills have resumed. For
eign commerce at this port for the
hast week shows an increase Of $2.3O4,.
3sS in value Of imports as compared
with last year, and a loss Of $2.035, III
IN exports.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 245, against 206

EXPECT THE FALL
OF PORT ARTHUR
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS PREPARED
FOR THE INEVITABLE.
QUESTION OF BUT FEW DAYS
It Is Believed, However, That Gen.
stoessel Will Not Surrender
Fortress Except on Positive
Command of Gear.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-With the con-
frmation of the news that the japanese
have occupied 203- Metre hill and the
report that the Russians unsuccessful
ly attempted It's recapture, officials al
the war Office are beginning to pre-.
pare themselves for the inevitable.
Golden hill and Liaoti hill are higher
and dominate 203- Metre hill, but the
officials say that if the Japanese sue
coed in mounting heavy guns upon the
latter it will probably be only ques-
ton of a few days before the fortress
falls
Will Fight to the Last.
Still, there is not the slightest idea
among Gen. Stoessel's friends that he
will surrender, even if he should be or
dered to do so. 1t is limited that it is
possible that if the fall of the fortress
is shown to be inevitable, the emperor
may direct it's surrender in order to
prevent the unnecessary sacrifice of the
remnant of it's brave defenders, but it
is believed by those who know Cen
| Stoessel best, that he will literally
make good his threat to hold out to the
last man and the last cartridge in Port
