New York, Jan. 4.--R. G. Dun y Co.'S
Review Of Trade tomorrow will say:
The new year opens bright, with n
promise OF good business no excessive
stocks being carried over, and results
of inventories fully equal to sanguine
anticipations. II Is noticeable in dis
patches from the west that there was
less than the customary lull in business
during the holidays, while bargain sales
are rapidly disposing of the moderate
supplies remaining on hand. There is
much complaint OF car shortage from
northwestern flour mills and export
trade is also restricted because grain
and other merchandise fail to reach the
seaboard promptly. To this delay may
be attributed part of the decrease OF
I,749665 In exports from this port for
the last week, as compared with the
movement year ago, while imports
exceeded the very heavy total for the
previous year by Si,5Sl $50.
Many contracts for a large tonnage
of steel appeared during the past week.

Francisco. Railway requirements show
no abatement, few contracts being con-
sidered, however, except for delivery in

spects later were that IL would go

Contrary to expectations. there Is n

posing TO erect 400 houses of five to
seven rooms in the west and northwest
parts of the city, for the accomlnoda-
ton of railway employees, at an outlay
OF $4,000 for each house; and half
dozen apartment houses are also
scheduled for spring construction. one
of which is well under way now. AS
the apartments will take care of 200
families, here are 500 families pro-
vided for in prospect. which will re-
leve the rented house pressure. Then
IN addition to all this. contractors re-
port prospects of hundreds of moder

The vast amounts of money puid out
in dividends and interest at the begin
ming of the year, and the great sums
paid the beet sugar farmers are be-
ginning to flow once more into their
natural channels and money is now re-
ported easier than II has been for
sometime past, The effect OF this al
ways is to induce Inquiry for the divl-
dend paying stocks. and there has been
quite n demand for securities during the
week. Considerable transfers have been
made of Utah Sugar bonds and West
ern Idaho stock, the latter seeming to
lead all the sugars IN activity Several
transfers OF Utah preferred have also
