Day Of Gratitude Certainly Warranted
by the General Situation in the
World Of Business.

New York, Dec. 4.-R. G. Dun a.

Business conditions certainly war
ranted a day Of gratitude this year
more than ever before, but in many in

Their behind orders and increasing the
complaints Of impor:unate purchasers
An Idea Of the volume of trade in No
vember Is shown by daily average Of
bank exchanges that exceeded last
years figures by 40 per cent, which in
turn surpassed all previous monthly
records. Yet unseasonably mild
weather in November has postponed
retail business in winter goods. Christ
mas trade opens with a volume that
promises to eclipse all earlier records,
and the feeling of confidence in the fu-
ture is strengthened by the encourag-
ing statement that the strike of struc-
tural iron workers may not become
general Crops supply the foundation
OF this country's commercial prosper
ity, and the value of all farm products,
according to the annual report of the
department. of agriculture, was even
greater than estimated. Manufacture
ing plants make most satisfactory re-
turns, despite the high level of prices
for raw materials and inadequate
transporting facilities.
Failures this week In the United
States are 203, against 22S last week,
240 the preceding week and 245 the cor
responding week last year. Failures in
Canada number 80 against "a last
week, ~ the preceding week and 20
last year."
Bradstreet's says: while mild
weather retarded retail trade early in
the week. except In holiday supplies.
the widespread, cold wave later offered
q needed corrective and stimulus to the
only lines hitherto backward. Weather
coalitions now are likely to bring the
long continued season for outdoor
work to a close, and especially affect
the building trades, which have had
the most active year in their history.
Something like seasonable quiet Is re-
ported in many lires of wholesale
trade, but it Is noted that jobbers and
manufacturers are still busi1y engaged
on holiday goods, some lines of which
are already reported oversold, indicat-
ing that a record years business will
be garnered. All reoprts as to spring
trade are satisfactory, but hitherto
mild weather and car congestion are

The following on the automo-
bile we clip from the Litchville
Bulletin: The automobile is a
machine that is always going
somewhere but never gets there.
A man who has automobiles is
cranky. If you doubt this
watch any of them trying to
start a machine. You can tell a
man who owns an automobile as
far as you can smell him by that
Rockefeller odor, or as far as
you can see him by the seraphic
expression on his countenance,
or as far as you can hear him by
the rapid and explosive use of
reckless language. He carries
with him at all times a house
moving outfit, ropes 'jackscrews
and cork screws; with an extra
bottle of gasoline-on ice-most
of the time. When you see one
coming, turn your horse loose
and climb the first telephone
pole-you may escape without
permanent Or fatal injuries. If
you see an automobile stop sor-
ter suddenly in the road and
the owner crawl under it fifteen
or twenty times and then walk
around it several hundred times
waving his arms now and then,
hitch up and go to his assistance.
Tell him you are very busy, but
most any Of them will pay you
S. to haul them TO town and will
give you 81 extra for an old halter
rope for cable tow. When you
get to town go down Main street
slowly and carefully and don't
let him show you a nearer way
thru the back alleys. Alleys are
full of broken malt bottles and
they puncture tires as we'll as
pocketboohs. Fellows who own
automobiles don't know the best
anyway. Don't stop your team
three inches out of the road to
see the engine go round.
