they regretted what had occurred, and

SHOW STEADY IMPROVEMENT
CONDITIONS IN COMMERCIAL
LINES ARE SATISFACTORY.
Temporary Check to Trade Caused by
Storms in the East Soon
Removed.

New York, Nov. 19.-R. G. Dun. & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Busi-
ness was retarded by the storms which
interrupted teleg1 aphic communication,
but the loss was quickly recovered, and
retail trade responded to the lower tenn
perature, while a large jobbing distri-
button of holiday goods occurred. Com
mercial reports are encouraging, and,
on the whole, conditions steadily i'm
prove. Gradual progress is desirable,
providing less danger of such advances
in prices as will curtail consumption.
Confidence is increasing, particularly in
the steel and textile industries, and
building operations are very vigorous
for the season, while mercantile collec-
lions are more prompt. Farm staples
are slightly cheaper in response to
splendid dispatches from agricultural
centers, and several freight blockades
have delayed the delivery of grain ana
merchandise. Railway earnings thus
far reported for November are SO per
cent larger than last year. Foreign
trade is exceeding the most sanguine
tober make the value of exports $780,
570.393, exceeding every month on rec
ord, with the exception of October,
1900, which reported only $SO0,J.J
larger exports.
Failures this week numbered 2l7 in
the United States against 249 last year
and 81 in Canada compared with II a
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Reports from
the great basic industries are more IA
vorable and wholesale and jobbing trade
in holiday and spring goods displays a
more confident tone. Interior buyers
appear more willing to stock up and
are meeting with fair success, despite
the fact that unreasonable weather, &C
tivtty in fall farm work, and some hold
ing back by farmers retards retail trade
and collections in the west and north
west. Cold weather at the east and
seasonable conditions at the south in
duce better reports as to final distribu-
ton from those sections. Trade gen
orally is showing gains over correspond
ing periods a year ago, and the aggre-
gate years business in most lines will
make better comparisons than at one
time seemed possible. Money displays
remarkable ease, crop moving necessi-
ties are about satisfied and return
flow from the country, is apparently in
sight" -

Routed.
THEY SEEK SAFETY IN FLIGHT
Victorious Soldiers Chase In-

Several Dead and In

New York. Feb. 17.--A savage attack
on the city OF Santiago has resulted in
the complete route OF rebels by gov
ernment forces, says Herald dispatch
from Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo.
Many were killed and wounded on both
sides. For eome time an attack has
been expected. On Tuesday the revo-
lutionists entered the city unmoIested
until they had reached the government
house. Then the government forces
opened fire. The rebels answered and
the battle ragged for several hours Potin
Espalllat, one Of the rebel leaders, fell
with bullet wound that broke his leg.
PanchIto Perez and many other reyo-
lutionists were killed, and seeing that
their attack was futile, the rebels fed,
closely pursued by the government SOL
diers. Espaillat was left on the field
OF battle and made prisoner by the
government troops.
The government losses are not stat
ed, but two officers are known to have
been killed and several men wounded.
