DUN & CO., REVIEW.
Better Movement Is Noted In Staple
 Lines of Trade.

New York, December 20.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Holiday trade assumed normal propor- tions this week, recovering earlier losses in comparison with previous years, and in staple lines there was better movement in response to more seasonable weather. Although actual business did not increase in the leading industries, there was a more confident sentiment regarding the future, numerous inquiries encouraging manufacturers to anticipate a steady im- provement in orders early in 1908. While several plants resumed, others were add ed to the idle list and the net change was small. The best news of the week was the official report of the foreign commerce in November that far surpassed any pre- vious monthly record of exports and sup piled a favorable international trade bal ance of $93655,751. This should make it possible to retain much of the net im- port of gold.
 Sentiment is more hopeful at leading centers of the iron and steel industry, in- creased activity being generally antici- pated after the holidays No further cur tailment of output has occurred, reduc- tions already made proving sufficient for the accumulation, and few changes were announced in quotations except that pig lIol III DlrAilll5ldlil HAS solu at icSS tidn S15.
 Plates sell more freely, and new permits for buildings promises a greater demand for structural shapes. Plants are re- suming that were closed and less delay in securing payment is causing more read mess to, accept specifications. At some points 1t Is difficult to find improvement, conservatism deferring all action until after the end of the year, and advantage is taken for repairs and inventories.
 Increased inquiries are considered en- couraging signs for cotton goods, although little new business has transpired, and improvement Is thus far chiefly in senti- ment. An element of strength is the re- duced production, which has prevented any accumulation of stocks in the hands of spinners or converters. Inquiry for export have not resulted in business, and conditions in China are not now calcu- lated to encourage hopes of large ship ments. Nothing has occurred to alter the course of the market for wools. Nothing of interest is exhibited in lines already opened, and there is no encouragement to submit new lines to indifferent buyers.
 Footwear factories in New England re- port more encouraging news. Better in- quiry for leather confirms the belief ex- pressed by tanners that large consumers have lower stocks on hand than at any higher basis than values, which accounts for the reluctance of leather consumers to provide for further needs.

IDENTITY CLEARED UP.
Mother Is Mistaken In Identity of Her
 Own Daughter.

New York, December 2O.-All doubts as to the identity of the young woman buried at Rochester last October as Jessie M. Burke, seem to be cleared up by the receipt by her mother of letter from Jessie, who is in New Orleans. Be- fore she died the young woman buried at Rochester said her name was Ella May Burke known on the stage las Mig non Worth. Mrs. Burke, however, iden- tified the body as that of her daughter Jessie, who had run away from home several years ago to go on the stage. So complete was the Identification that the Metropolitan Life Insurance company\paid small policy on the girls life. lIlla May Burke, the dead girl, is said to have come from Chicago. She and Jessie Burke were no relation, yet so much alike did they look and so near alike were several birthmarks they bore that even the moth- CTS eyes were deceived.

TRADE SITUATION
 STILL VERY QUIET Financial Conditions Are Near
 ing the Normal EXPORT TRADE IS GREATER Many Cities Throughout the Country Have Resumed Cash Basis, But Complete Resumption Is Not
 Expected Till New Year.
EXPORT TRADE IS GREATER

New York, December 2O.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Holiday buying has had the center of the stage, and retail business has felt very perceptibly the influence of the spir- 1t of the season. While much more marked than some time ago, however, the volume of retail buying as a whole is not up to expectations, and is certain ly well below year ago at this date. Wholesale and jobbing business naturally tends toward the quiet this time of year and statesmen are very generally in from the road but the falling off in trans actions in these branches from the nor mai Is very marked at present and the tendency in industrial lines is still toward curtaiment, instances of this being 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 rext year is very mixed.
 Conditions in financial circles are still slowly but quite surely approaching nor nal. From the country at large there Is reported continued easing up of the situation as regards cash payments, and several cities are practically on a cash basis with clearing house certificates be- ing cancelled and cashiers checks and emergency currency being retired, but it is to be noted that the premium on currency is still maintained at several large cities. The firmness of the call and the scarcity of time money at New York with the maintenance of the cur rency premium at or around one figure, however, is taken to indicate the conserv- ing of money supplies pending the heavy first of the year disbursements.
 Commercial collections are very slow. A very favorable feature in the present order of depression is the tendency to- ward enlargement of our export trade. This is most notable in the grain trade and not by the way, entirely on the east coast of the country, because the move- ment on the North Pacific coast Is very larSe and shows signs of heavy takings of wheat largely for the United King dom. November export trade was of record proportions.
 Business failures for the week ending December 19 number 29S, against 2S4 last week and 227 in the like week of 1906 Canadian failures for the week number 40 as against 50 last week and 26 in this week a year ago.
