hankgivina A Home Feast

Thanksgiving is IS old as the ages, and
Isisone Of the noblesE qualities enshrined
ID Che human breast. Noah builded an
altar and thanked God for the pEsserya-
tion Of bimseli and his family from the
food. And ali through she history Of
our racs ss read oi thanksgiving for VIC
tory ia battle, for salvation from pesti-
lence Or famine Of danger, for haryests
and for peace. Il seems as though the
universal heart recognizes inherently 4
great Giver Of ali good and naturally
looks up 20 Him and gives thanks.
But nov il iaover our American thanks
giving We are most interested now-the
thing which seems 70 sail down TO- >us
through She years, since the Pilgrims first
gave thanks when, alter their first har-
vest in 1921, Governor Bradford sent
four men ous fcwiiDg that they .'might
after d more special manner rejoice TO-
gatheF. What contrast between then
and nov, and how little it would seem
they had to be thankful for compared
with what we have, but they thanked
God for Ehe hope of the future.
This great feast Of Thanksgiving, so
peculiarly American in It's genius, was
net made to order. Il was a gradual
growth. Not every year did the New
England coloBists observe Il until 1880.
and in the country at large il was only
occasionally kept. and that for special
causes, until President Lincoln established
Il as an annual least.
Thanksgiving is peculiarly home feast
gathering Of The families together again.
Let America preserve her ThanksgingDay
forever, q shrine before which the fres
never 20 ous. And as We gather around
our own good table, LET Us remember some
homeless or poor or unbefriended one.

New York. Dec. SIR. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade will say:
Except for the holiday trade. which
has been active and indicative of the
substantial prosperity Of the country,
there has been the moderate trade recess
sion usual in the closing week OF the year.
The big storm has served also to Tetard
distribution. while the railroad strike
continues cause Of some disturbance.
but after making due allowances for
these drawbacks the fact remains that
the year closes with general industrial
and mercantile conditions IN excellent
shape. and while there are problems
Of high prices involving contentious be-
tween capital and labor, and problems of
politics. involving the relations OF the
corporations TO the public, these are no
moro serious. or acute than those which
confront the business community at all
times
Although the year closed with a
seasonable contraction in the demand for
iron and steel. prospects are bright for
an active business early in 1910. and most
producers now have sufficient orders on
their books TO insure full operations for
some time TO come: many mills IN the
Pittsburg district will not observe the
New Years holiday because Of the heavy
tonnage calling for prompt delivery.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 227 against 279 last week,
2S6 the preceding week. and a01 the cor
responding week last year. Failures in
p the preceding week. and II last year"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Big Storm and Railroad Strike Cause of Some
DiSturbance-Better Year Predicted

New York, Dec. -Bradsueet's re-
view of the state of trade tomorrow
will say:
Quiet has followed the preceding
weeks rush Of business in retail lines.
while In the W! 1lesale lines statesmen
are in from the road. and inventorying
is general All obtainable information
points TO a satisfactory-in many sec
lions, indeed, a record-volume OF bust
ness done IN the year just closed, and
the feeling is general that a still more
satisfactory twelve months faces the
country's commercial and manufactur-
ing interests
Best reports as TO the years results
come from the West and Northwest.
while the least satisfactory come from
those sections Of the South where crop
damage has prevented fullest advantage
being taken Of the high prices Of cot
ton. The month Just closed IS conceded
to have been one OF the coolest on rec
ord, and some lines Of staple retail
trade hitherto tagging have been greatly
benefited. A heavy snow covering Is re-
ported generally throughout the winter
wheat belt.
There is some complaint. however. in
the Northeast that cold, freezing weather
arrived before the recent moisture and
snow, and that the soil and the streams
viii not be as much benefited as earlier
expected. In wholesale and iobbing lines
a large. if not, indeed. record. spring
business has been booked. and il IS
noted that the holiday shut-downs in
industry win not be as prolonged as
usual
prices Of commodities show undimin-
ished strength, and some of the highest
prices OF the year were made in the last
week"
