TRADE IS BRISK.
Holiday Trade Equal to or in Excess
OF Last Years.

New York, Dec. Par. G. Dun's
Weekly Trade Review says:
In sharp contrast with the between
seasons dullness in jobbing trade, is
the brisk holiday retail distribution
which is reported equal to or in excess
of last year.
Diminished activity in iron and steel
is now to be anticipated, yet it is evil
dent that dullness is more pronounced
than is customary at this season. The
holiday period naturally will cause a
temporary cessation of operations at
manufacturing plants and as current
buying is of small proportions, mills
and furnaces are expected to still fur
Their restrict their output.
Pipe iron has been quite freely taken
and inquiries for a substantial tonnage
are reported in eastern territory, but
with this exception extreme quietness
prevails in the pig iron division. Con-
struction of new battleships will re-
quire considerable finished material
and it is estimated that 100000 tons
of material will be needed. Rail con-
tracts are coming forward in moder-
ate volume and the outlook for rolling
stock is better.
There is moderate business in

The year was more disastrous in the
number of clerks killed on the rail-
roads than any in the history of the
SERVICE
Among the recommendations made
by Mr.. Stewart are the following:
That the department be enabled to
readjust the compensation for the
transportation of mail on railroad
routes during the four years term.
That the postmaster general be au-
thorized to pay for the services of
vessels of the second class in carry
ing the mails to various ports in
South America and the~ far east.
That salaries of supervisory officers
of the railway mail service be in
creased.
That authority of law be given for
granting further leave during periods
| of disability, not exceeding twelve adj
ditional months with pay at so per
cent of his regular salary, to railway
postal clerk who is so seriously in
jured as not to be able to resume duty
at the expiration of twelve months
That thirty days annual leave of
absence be granted to railway postal
clerks
That provision be made for the re-
tirement of incapacitated or superan-
nuated railway postal clerks.

SAVED MUCH MONEY.
Report of the Second Assistant P. NJ.
General.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Condftions of
railway and ocean mail service are
discussed fully in the annual report of
Joseph Stewart, second assistant post
master general, submitted today to
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
A considerable saving was effected
during the year by the bureau of the
second assistant, which is charged
with the authorization and direction
of the transportation of both domestic
and foreign mails. The aggregate cost
of the transportation of domestic mails
during the year was $81,709. 433.6S;
while the cost of foreign mails was
$3,112,302.46. notwithstanding the
increased amount of mail handled the
percentage of increase in the cost was
only LIS per cent
During the year 1875 mail routes
were in operation covering a distance
of 24O,73O miles. The distance trav-
eHed by the mail of the United States
was 426, 923, 109.55 miles The amount
of money necessary for railroad trans
portation for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1912. is 1888, 600. being So
per cent more than the appropriation
for the current fiscal year.
In every instance possible the policy

TAFT DOES HIS C. S. |.
The President Remembers Hundreds
of People.

Washington, Dec. 24.-President
Taft finished his Christmas shopping
Friday. Matters of state made him
tardy shopper. Altogether he devoted
three afternoons to the task, which
was not a small one by any means The
president carried thirty-five cards with
him, but they were soon exhausted.
and a hurried trip to the White
House was made for more.
Mr. Taft believes more in the senti-
ment of Christmas giving than in the
intrinsic value of the gifts In conse-
quence, he does not confine himself to
a small coterie of relatives and friends
and his gifts mount up into the hun
dreds.
Outside of the large circle of reIa-
tives and friends, the president gives
presents to the various White House
clerks. He also presents turkeys to
the married employees about the exc
cutive mansion. There are 102 of these,
and this item alone requires an outlay
of 500. To the three secret service
men who are assigned to look after his
welfare, the president always gives q
personal remembrance

RADFORD ACQUITTED.
Took Jury Only Eleven Minutes to
Free Ex-Grain Inspector.

Kansas City, Dec. 24-John w.
Radford, ex-grain inspector of Kansas,
was found not guilty of misappropriat-
ing state funds while in office by a
jury here last evening. The jury was
out but IL minutes. A verdict was
reached on the first ballot.
The prosecution alleged that Rad
ford empowered A. d. Crotts, his chief
clerk, to sign checks and draw money
from the departments bank account.
Later, when an investigation of the
books was talked of. it was asserted
Radford, advised Crotts to go to Mex
ico This Radford denied on the wit
ness stand. He said when shortages
appeared Crotts failed to make good a
promise to remain at the office and
help straighten out the tangie.

been followed.
One Big Economy.
The department has saved $12,274.-
4SS by the operation of the new meth
cd of adjusting pay. To and includ-
ing the present fiscal year, sixteen rail-
road companies have filed suit against
the United States attacking the VALID
ity of the order of the postmaster
general in readjusting the rate of pay.
Particular diligence has been man
ifested by the department in its in
quiry into the cost to railroad com
panies of carrying the mail.
The need for improved ocean mail
service again is called to the attention
of the congress. The passage Of an
act to authorize the postmaster gen
eral to pay for ocean mail service in
vessels of the second class on routes
to South America. the Philippines,
Japan. China and Australia at a rate
per mile not exceeding the rate APP
plicable to vessels of the first class as
provided in the act of March 3. 1891,

ment to. secure contract service to
