TRADE Is STILL GOOD
Xmas Shopping Expected to
Break All Records.
IRON PRICES ALSO HIGHER
Colder Weather Stimulates Activity
in Retail Lines-LabOr Continues
Scarce, and Tendency Toward
Higher Wages stin StrOng-Money
Is in Demand in the Cities.

New York, Dec I'm its weekly re-
view of the trade. Dun's tomorrow will
say.
Lower temperature has stimulated re-
tail trade in seasonable staples. but
interest is most conspicuous in holiday
goods. Expectations Of a record-break-
Ing demand for Christmas specialties are
being fully realized.
Joebing and wholesale houses are doing
well for the season, but reports Of mer-
cantiie collections show much irregu-
larity Improvement in the prOmptness
Of payments is expected when the crops
have been more fully marketed, and
greater ease appears in money rates,
which are far above normal, despite the
fact that the total amount in circuIa-
ton exceeds all records
Railway earnings in November sur
passes those of the same month last
year by IS per cent. yet the movement of
freight is restricted by inadequate facil-
tiles, causing much trouble in other in
dustries. Very light Idle machinery Is
noticed in the factories and mills. ex-
cept where the supply of labor and raw
material is insufficient, and the vigorous
demand for all commodities Is indl-
Gated by the highest level Of prices in
recent years.
Bookings Break Records.
The closing month of the year in iron
and steel promises to maintain fully the
phenomenal rate Of progress that has
been experienced during the autumn, not
withstanding a further advance in some
quotations that might be expected to
curtau operations. Every available plant
is now actively engaged, except where
material cannot be secured. and the vol
ume OF business booked for next year
assures many new records in 1891, unless
some unforeseen disaster occurs. As no
such setback is feared, the future is re-
garded with great confidence. Prices OF
iron products have risen from 81 to S
Fer ton, but Bessemer pig iron IS Sn-
changed, although firmly maintained.
