WEATHER AND BUSINESS

New York. Jan. 6.-Bradstreet's today says:
While unreasonable weather adversely affects
retail trade and recorders from wholesalers, it
at the same time highly favors the leading in
dustrtes and outdoor activities and facilitates
railway transportation. Spring trade really
shows rather more than usual life. requests for
prompt shipments being In evidence earlier
than usual. Clearance sales are a feature of
retail lines. and the season as a whole in heavy
wearing apparel has been SO far disappointing.
Collections north and west feel this influence
likewise. Bank clearings break all records for
Q holiday period, rejecting heavy end Of the year
disbursements and stock speculation.
December was perhaps the best month Of 1905
for the railways, with an indicated gain Of -
per cent over December, 1904. Cars are In bet
ter supply on open weather and the passing Of
the holiday rush, but six months Of large bust
ness Is still in sight for the railways. Build
ing at New York and a few other large cities
Is affected by the housesmiths' strike. So far
the printers strike has had rather less than
the expected effect. There seems to be a gen.
'eral consensus of opinion that 1906 promises
exceedingly we'll in all lines Of trade and in
dustry. o
Snowfalls and slightly colder weather in the
northwest are welcomed for their present and
future effect on trade. Southern trade reports
nre relatively the best Of all, rejecting, as
they do, good cotton prices and an advance of
money among the farmers.
Spring trade at the east shows more life IN
cotton goods and In shoe buying from manufac.
|turers who are being pressed for deliveries. The
Worsted mills have had an extraordinary season.
- >"'hS" Sooio nv ltpoltS Interesting con.
ldltions. In California the want Of rain is be.
ginning to be a cause Of uneasiness.
industrial lines are rs active as heretofore
Manufacturers entered the year with a heav
volume OF business booked and with excellent
prospects for a continuance of activity. II
5ron and steel business is of excellent character
for a period that is usually dull. Resales O.
copper by Chinese speculative interests tend t.
check the upward trend of the market, business
for future delivery being done on a basis of !,
per pound below the markets of this countr,
- and Europe. Lead is quiet but firm, and Their
is less activity In spelter.

DR.. Mark A. Dashiell, representative from
Warren county, intends to introduce an anti
football measure. He is a cousin of Paul Dash
iell, the member of the national football commit
tee from the naval academy at Annapolis.
While one member Of the family is strongly OPP

the other is convinced that football as 1t is now
played should be made illegal.
Representative Dashiell says the present game
of football is a crime and that he proposes to
introduce a bill prohibiting it. He claims that
the game has a demoralizing influence on stu
dents in grammar, high schools and colleges. He
does not object to the old association game, but
likens the present form of game to a prizefght.
He admits, however, there is a grave POSSIBLE.

ure will have a tendency to call the attentiep
