MERCHANTS LOOK FOR A GOOD YEAR
Manufacturers Wholesalers Say Conditions
ising For i9OS--Coectons Much Observation-Disclosures
Sending in Orders to Replenish Depleted Stocks--
European Merchants to Keep Up Prices.

New York City.-A canvass of the
sentiment In dozen important
trades, as expressed by members of
different industries and the edi-
torial opinions of recognized trade
Journals in the last few days, has
developed distinctly hopeful tone
for the outlook for 1908. OF 1907
there is apparently a common opin-
lon-that the first eight months
were satisfactory to a marked de-
gree, and in some instances sur
passed former records as far as vol
ume of business was concerned. The
financial disturbances of last fall,
however, brought about a great
change in this respect, and several
trades suffered severely. A state
ment of conditions in a majority of
the trades covered appears to those
most interested to Justify the expec-
tations of good business in 1908.
Particularly is this the case in
good many of the dry goods trades.
Al member of one of the largest inn
porting houses in New York, whose
buyers reach every important centre
In Europe and with statesmen in every
section of the United States, declared
that the reports which his firm re-
ceived were distinctly encouraging
for trade recovery all over the
country. The reports from all over
the Middle, Western and Southern
States indicated the best Christmas
trade among retailers on record
These reports covered San Francis
co, Portland, Los Angeles and Ia
coma on the coast; Minneapolis, st.
Paul, Milwaukee and other cities in
the Middle West. and several cities
such as San Antonio, in the South
west, Atlanta, in the Southeast.

JUSTICE JOHN NJ. HARLAN PROpHESIES GREAT RACE WAR
He Would Vote $5OOOOOOO Year For q Bigger Navy
Must Fight Yellow Men---Conflict Will Shake the
Earth and He Wants the United States
to Be Prepared For IT.

Washington, D. C.-That there
will be eventually conflict between
the yellow race and the white race
that will shake the earth is the
opinion of Justice John Marshall
Harlan, of the United States Supreme
Court. In an address before the
Navy League of the United States,
this eminent jurist, according to the
Washington Post, said:
If ] had the opportunity would
vote for an appropriation of $780,
100000 year for period of ten
years for larger navy. The great
Importance of a navy is shown in the
Constitution, which restricts the APP
preparations for the army, but sets
no limit for those for the navy There
is no such thing as friendship be-
tween nations as between men Ma
tions make no sacrifice to preserve
friendships and do not forbear to do
certain things because they do not
meet with the approval of another
nation. Do you think England cares
cent for what we think of her
navy? Or Germany cares a cent?
How large navy ought we to
have? That is a question | cannot
answer any more than whether a
hospital ship ought to be command
ed by naval officer or a surgeon.
l don't care how large navy we
have. but want to see a navy large
enough to take care of the Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans and our ports
on those oceans.

Combined with this continued de-
mand upon the retailer is the fact
that little or no goods have been
bought since the early fall, and
stocks are becoming relatively ex-
hausted From the source referred
to above 1t was learned, for ex-
ample, that one house in a Southern
city sold $193.000 of goods in Mo-
vember and bought $1,000. AS a
result, orders which were Cancelled
are reported as being renewed and
new orders received to replenish
stocks that were neglected in the
weeks of uncertainty following the
financial furry.
Coupled with this increase of de-
mand, an improvement in collections
is reported in many branches of the
dry goods trade, which bids fair to
bring that element OF the business
back to normal within a comparative
ly short time, so far as the interior
of the country is concerned. The
prediction is being made in dry
goods circles that this fact coupled
with the release of boarded money
by interior banks will operate to ease
the money situation materially with
in the next sixty days.
Reports received by one large
house from nine different centres of
manufacture for exports on the other
side of the Atlantic indicate that the
European trade organizations and
the individual producers, regardless
of such membership. will do what
they can to maintain prices with the
idea of curtailing production rather
than create situation where prices
will have to come down, to the injury
both of the producer and of the
American importer
