THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Reports by "Dun's" and BRAD.
streets" on the State Of Trad.


NEW YORK, December 21.-The trade
reviews. while reporting a stimulation in
retail trade on account of the holiday
season. say that business is still consid-
erably below last year. Bradstreet's says:
Holiday buying has had the center Of
the stage and retail business has felt very
perceptibly the influence OF the spirit of
the season. While much more marked
than some time ago. however, the volume
OF retail buying as whole is not up to
expectations, and Is certainly we'll below
a year ago at this date. Wholesale and
jobbing business naturally tends toward
quiet at this time, and statesmen are very
generally In from the road, but the falling
OF in transactions in these branches from
the normal is very marked at present and
the tendency In Industrial lines Is still
toward curtailment, instances of this be-
ing found In the iron and steel, bituminous
coal. coke. lumber and cotton goods lines.
in which latter a canvass is now being
made by New England manufacturers as
to the future of production. Sentiment as
to the outlook for trade next year is very
mixed. IT,.
Dun's says:
Holiday trade assumed normal proper
tions this week, partially recovering earli-
er losses in comparison with previous
years, and in staple lines there was a bet
ter movement in response to more season.
able weather. Although actual business
did not increase in the leading industries.
there was a more confident sentiment re-
garding the future. numerous inquiries en-
couraging manufacturers to anticipate a
steady improvement in orders early in
1908. Meanwhile inventories are being
taken and machinery thoroughly over
hauled and repaired for the first time in
many years. While several plants re-
sumed, others were added to the idle list.
and the net change was small. The best
news Of the week. was the official report
of foreign commerce in November, that
far surpassed any previous monthly rec
ord of exports and supplied a favorable

New York Bank Clearances.

NEW YORK, December 21.-The state
ment of clearinghouse banks for the

Following the exceptionally favorable
exhibit of December II the New York
associated banks reported for the week
ending December II an even more en-
couraging statement The gain in cash
was ST. JO7 200. and for the first time In
many weeks legal tenders show an ap-
probable increase OF s2,169. 400. the cash
gain since the crisis of October having
been up to this time wholly in the form
OF specie. The inference Is that normal
conditions between banks are being rap
idly restored. The liquidation In loans
continues. the weeks reduction Of $9.5s1,-
100 making decrease In that item OF
$32, 500, 600 since November 30 last. The
liquidation is significant as indicating the
ability of borrowers to meet their obliga-
tons. Deposits have been falling. owing
to the loan shrinkage. and the loss OF
1871 900 for the week Is thus easily &C.
counted for.
1t Is to be noted that the deposits OF
the government in New York banks are
still increasing the gain of 81 ,S01 800 for
the past six days bringing the present
total of United States deposits to $751;
$4,000. The gain In cash and the de-
crease in deposits brought the banks
