The appearance of things Thanksgiving

it was Sunday, and they were all agog

COMMERCIAL. REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Company's weekly Re
view of Trade" says:
Holiday week brought customary quiet
conditions in the business world, in
ventories and preparations for annual
settlements moppoizing attention, ex-
cept in some branches of manufacture
where immediate deliveries were requlr-
ed. Severe storms also interrupted conf
munication and transportation, particu-
larly at the West, but on the whole the
elements we're helpful, for drought was
broken in the Pittsburg region. By this
resumption of a boating stage on the
rivers shipments of coal were made pos
sble and the coke output restored to
normal volume.
Annual reviews indicate that the year
has made a much better showing than
seemed possible at the outset the sec
ond half comparing very favorab'y with
the first six months The amount OF
business on the hooks in the leading in
dustries promises still further improve
ment in 1905.

that gross earnings OF the railways were

year.

wishes to be shaved halls the barber,
who places his stool on the ground for
the customers use, puts bowl Of
