BUSINESS WORLD HAS
"A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Season Opens Bright in Business Cir.
clen as No Excessive Stocks
Have Been Left.
(Rv Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Jan. ar. G.. Dunn
and Company's review of trade to-
morrow will say: 1.-THE new year
opens bright in business circles, no
excessive stocks being carried over
as results of inventories and fully
sanguine anticipations. 1t is espec-
Tally noticeable from dispatches from
the West that there was less than
the customary lull in business during
the holiday season while bargain
sales are rapidly disposing of the
moderate supplies remaining on
hand. In the leading industries con-
tracts upon the books are very large
and plants are operated full time ex-
cept when materials or fuel cannot be
secured or finished products cannot
be forwarded to consumers. There is
much complaint from northwestern
flour mills on this point and export
trade is also restricted because of
the car shortage and other merchan-
disc failing to reach the Seaboard
promptly. To this delay may be at
tributed part of the decrease of ST.
74s,666 in exports from this port for
the last week as compared with the
movement a year ago, while imports
exceeded the very heavy total for the
previous year by S1,581,59O
MANY new contracts show large
steel purchases
Business in the primary market
for textiles has been interrupted by
the holidays and inventories during
the week is progressing In prepare
tldn on new lines for the coming sea-
sof. A few sales of sheetings have
been made to China, the first export
business from that q,isAter for long
time, and more ordeSe could have
been secured by the market If mod
crate concessions had been
made. Revival of foreign in
terests tends to strengthen the tone
OF the market. Operations are still
conservative in mems wear and wool.
