TRADE REVIEW.
R. G. Dun G. Company Tell Weekly
Conditions.

NEW YORK, Dec. OR. G. Dun &
Co.'s report for the week says that
less than the customary dullness in
and Christmas week made Il favora-
BILE comparison with previous years as
to the volume of trade.
Retail sales of seasonable wearing
apparel have been large on account of
the low temperature in most sections
and final reports of holiday business
equal the most sanguine preliminary
statements. Stocks of winter goods
have been so well distributed that
there remain less than the usual as
sentiments for bargain sales. Whole.
sale business Is good for the season
and collections show further improve
ment.
Prices for packer hides are firmly
maintained. and some varieties have
risen still higher, an element of
strength being the extent 10 which
hides are sold ahead.
Narrow holiday markets have pre-
vailed for the leading staples of the
farm, small changes in prices occurring
and no developments of Significance
being recorded.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 1871 against 254 las
week. 2G1 the preceding week and %
the corresponding week last year
Failures in Canada number II against

road is dead.
Mr.. Cassatt died in his city residence

victim of IN acute heart attack known
professionally as 'the Stokes : Adams

Though Mr.. C~assatt's death was en-

the time the Prussian government or.
dered that the company be debarred
from doing business in Prussia so lone
as its funds or any part of them were
invested in such stocks.
1t is alleged that Perkins and Fair
child engineered a dummy sale OF
stocks to the trust company, which
was a subsidiary concern of the life
insurance company. At the time, Mr.
Perkins was vice president of the New
York Life, also a trustee and chairman
of the finance committee, OF which Mr.
Fairchild was a member. On the
books of the life insurance company
the transaction was carried on as q
bona fide sale, but it is alleged that on
the books of the trust company it was
put down as a loan.
This alleged sale of stocks was re
ported to the state superintendent OF
insurance as bona fide, and it is charg-
ed that Mr.. Perkins directed the sign.
ing of the report, which is alleged tC
have been false and misleading. 1t is
on this that his Indictment was based
The indictment of Mr.. Perkins on the
charge of forgery in the third degree
comes as a surprise, as it was not ex-
pected that action would be taken on
the Prussian bond case, but rather on
the Mercantile Marine bond case, in
which the "Nylic' fund, was, it was
alleged, misused by Perkins.
