CAMDEN. N. j., Dec. 27-Three
persons were killed and is injured in
Il collision on the elevated tracks of
the Pennsylvania railroad just out
side the station here today, when a
Pemberton accommodation train ran
into the rear of an Atlantic City ex-

Both trains were due In the cam
den station at 1891 a. IN. The At
lantic City express had precedence.
The fog was SO thick that the en-
gineers of the two trains were run
ming cautiously. and just outside the
station the Atlantic train was sig
nailed to stop. The engineer of the
Pcmberton train failed to see the
Atlantic City train in time to avoid
a collision, but he instantly jammed
his brakes down hard when it loome,i
up through the fog. The sudden jolt
forced the tender of the pemberton
train into the first car, wrecking IL
badly and either killing or injuring
everybody in the coach. The train
did not come to full stop. but slid

HOLIDAY TRADE HEAVY
THE LAST FEW DAYS
Banks Throughout the Country Are
Furnishing more Money for

(By AssocIated Pressl

NEW YORK. Dec. 27--R. G. Dun 6,
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say: Holiday trade was
very heavy during the last few days
before Christmas, raising the total
for the season above expectations. al
though comparisons with last years
figures are unfavorable at most
points. Dry gods jobbers stimulated
trade by special clearance sales. The
banks furnished currency more readily
for pay rolls, but little Improvement
is recorded In mercantile collections.
More wage earners are unemployed
than at any previous time this year.
yet many factories and mills announce
resumption early In 1905.
Textile production has been cur
tailed further through concerted nc-
ton by New England cotton spinners
and diminished output together with
absence OF any efforts to force sales
has sustained quotations. 1t Is still
the fundamental factor that buyers
In the primary market are not In
position to operate beyond current
needs on account of difficulty In Sc
cning financial accommodation. al
though advices from the West tcsti-
fly to some Improvement In this re-
spect. but In the export division. con-
ditions in China having become less
satisfactory. No increase hns occur
red In tho movement OF new lines
of wooiens ana many descriptions
are still held back II is said that
more interest will be shown after

certainty as to the grades that will
