DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Markets Are Being Readjusted to
Higher Prices Prevailing.
STEEL TRADE IS sLACKEN1NG
Good Reports Come from Nearly All

NEW YORK, Nov. PR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Further progress is made in the read
justment of the markets TO the higher
prices which are inevitable in a period
OF big gold production, reviving Industry
and active speculation. While some slack
ening of demand is reported IN q few de-
Surprising In view of the recent pace at
which consumption, wa expanded. In
other lines, however, greater activity Is
increasingly difficult to make deliveries.
The recent quiet in the structural division
has been followed by the appearance OF
several important contracts, and II Is es-
timated that new projects contemplated
will call for over 100, 900 tons Of steel. Buy
ing of rails is well maintained, much of
orders for bars are conspicuously large.
Activity in pig iron is centered chiefly in
leading centers.
The break and subsequent recovery in
the cotton market served to make buyers
more cautious, but at the same time led
manufacturers of cotton goods to be more
free in discussing terms of new contracts,
Prices are being adjusted steadily to the
higher cost of production. Higher prices
on ginghams, openings of knit goods for
the fall season, the preliminary showings
of mems wear samples for fall and a con-
t~inuance of good reports from jobbing and
retail centeIs were some of the important
features of the dry goods week.
Footwear conditions continue to Improve
and trade In all varieties is more general
and Of large volume. The price question
still restricts trade to some extent, but
buyers are becoming broader In their views.
Shipments from Boston show a slight in
crease over forwardings of a week age
and are also larger for the year to date
than during the corresponding year OF

the demand is not especially large, IL Is

There have been other train robberies In

years, but this one for which five men
have Just been convicted, IL the only one
in which the United States mails have
been thus interfered with.
The other mail robbery In this state

RUSSIAN CALENDAR REFORM.
New Years Day Without a Week
Day Name.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A new calendar for Russia marks prog
ress in the cars domain. Prof Solodi-
loft is prime mover in favor of radical
reform in calendar making. The year, he
explains, should begin at the spring equi
noN and the quarters should be reckoned
from the equinoxes and solsticeS.
The first two months of every quarter
should have thirty days and the third
thirty-one days. Thus each quarter
would have ninety-one days, making ..G+
days for the year. As the solar year has
265 days hours As minutes and ~ sec
onds, one day in the year should be sim
ply called New Year day without a week
day name.
This disposes of the extra day. leaving
the difference of five hours and the min
utes and seconds. These on four years
make an extra day, which Prof. Solodiloff
proposes to call the day after New Year.
The forty five minutes would mount up To
a day in 12S years, and so the day after
New Year should fall but once in IDS
years. There is still a difference of a
few seconds, but as this does not amount
TO a day in 5000 or 5000 years it may be
disregarded
Under this system every first day of a
quarter would be a Monday, the first day
of the second month always a Wednes-
day and the first day of the third month
always Friday. 1t is also proposed to
make Easter, from which all church fes-
tivas are reckoned, occur at a fixed date
which the ecclesiastical authorities are JIM
Vited to name.

WORLDS FINEST SYNAGOGUE.
Built by Pioneer Jews at Amsterdam
Stain of Intolerance.
From the Jewish Chronicle.

From the Jewish Chronicle
In the midst of the Jewish quarter
stands the pride of Amsterdam Jews, the
grandest synagogue in the world 1t is
great" in everything-in the size its
proportion. its age and traditions. There
is no synagogue like it anywhere, and
while it stands there cannot be anything
like II.
The great temple in the Rue de la
Nictoire in Paris may perhaps be larger,
the splendid synagogue in the Oranien-
burger-strasse in Berlin may be more Or
nate. but the Portuguese synagogue in
Amsterdam has a glory all its own. Its
majestic columns, it's solid oak, its noble
eloquenty of the type OF Jew that sought
the hospitality of Holland when the cruel
and short sighted policy of the Spain of
those days drove the pioneers of the COM
munity into the hardy little northern
country.
The history of the congregation is not,
however. one unbroken record of peace
and glory. Curiously enough, its early
members, free themselves at last from
persecution seemed at times TO make up
for the persecution they had endured by
their own internal intercommunal intol-
erance.
Their treatment of Uriel Acosta is a
most painful chapter in their local his
tory. and their attitude toward Baruch
Spinoza was an error for which no COM
pensation can ever be made. To the
visitor to the synagogue is still shown
the seat which Spinoza is supposed to
have occupied but the tradition is proba-
bly, apocryphal

Fanciful Headdress.

From the London Chronicle.
The ladies whose enormous hats are
said to have become entangled at the

an astonished world too late. They
should have adorned the court of Louis

depended upon its originality and its
height. At the first night of Gluck' S
''lphigenie." in 1774. the greatest incon-
venience was caused by the swooning of

nipS, beetroot, carrots and cabbages. But
it was the rivalry between the Duchess

nearly caused d calamity.

down came the cherries and the parrot
