A Record Ride.

WORLDS TRADE IS
 GROWING FAST

Washington, December 18-The calen- dar year 1910 will be the banner year for the worlds international trade accord ing to the bureau of statistics. The bureau receives statistics from practically every country, and these show that hotn imports and exports are considerably greater than In 1909
 hand for any part of the calendar year 1910. the bureau finds that in practically every case the records show the imports in 1910 to be greatly in excess sof any monthly average of the year 19c9, whlie the exports are with few exceptions also in excess of those of 1903. Tne bureau has received reports from q countries wn1cn cover from six to 10 months of the calen- dar year 1910. Tn all of the 27 countries tnc figures of imports show marked m crease in the monthly averages as com na red with the corresponding period or 1909.
 ] The exports also are considerably larg- CT except in the case or Areen''na anu Bulgaria.
 Considering the countries for which figures are at hand the monthly imports ond exports show an increase of about q her cent as compared with the core snonding months of last year. and It is believed the worlds international com
 narce for 1910 probably will show exports vaIued at between S14,000, ,000,0 900 and Sl5, Coo o00 OOo while imports are expected to aggregate more than s16,00o ,000,0oO.

BU[L|SH OUTLOOK
 IN COTTON WORLD Brokers Are Waiting for Next
 Ginning Report OPINIONS ARE VARIED Bulls Believe That the Ginning Report will Indicate a Very Short Crop
 While Bears Oppose the
 Idea

New Orleans, December 1s.-The one big event in the cotton market this week will be the census bureau report on gin ming. The figures will be carried down to the evening of December F and the report will be issued at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Up to the end of last week the trade has been unable to make up its mind what to expect. Extremists on the bull side predicted that less cotton would be returned as ginned in the period between December 1 and December IS than in the same period last year. This claim was borne out by scores of tele- grams from ginning points in the cotton belt. but conservative traders were not inclined to pin much faith to them.
 So far as extremely bullish figures from the census bureau are concerned 1t must be remembered that this is season or surprises and that statistics are likely to show almost anything. Many com mission brokers have been constantly pointing out of late that the wise thing to do before the issuance of the bureau report is to even up Probably liquida- tion will be the main feature of the market N1OHQdyy WIliNh "hi PiSNN sAs' market in condition to take on good spurt if the census figures are bullish. Technically, the market is in a similar condition to that prevailing just before the announcement of the governments g estimate of the crop. The estimate was bulIish and the market made full re- sponse to it, something that could not have happened had it been hampered with a large long interest that was anx- ious to take profits on every point of advance.
 The census report will compare with 4s1, 900 bales ginned during the same pe- riod last year. S95,0oo two years ago and s2S, 600 three years ago. Should the fig ures fall below last years showing 1t will be generally accepted by the trade that the government has overestimated the crop. The government figures were Ii .426, 900 bales of 300 pounds gross weight be about Il, ,25O,0OO bales maximum
 Should the government report be bull ish, as some traders claim 1t will be, the last argument of the big crop people will be gone No excessive activity may be expected, no matter what the census figures. are, because of the holidays. On Friday afternoon all the markets of the cotton world will close, not to reopen until Tuesday morning. This makes a long stretch of inactivity and the few days between the two holiday periods will be about as bad as the holidays themselves, consequently very few people will care to carry much cotton either way until after the first of the year and the holidays are over.

Hanged the Clever ForEer

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 Of curious petitions against the death penalty being enforced, one recalls the Eighteenth century case of William Ky land, who was sentenced for forging a bill for f7114 on the East India House. The forgery was work of art. No less than 30 signatures were initiated, and at the trial not one of the victims could swear that the signature was not his own. However, with the help of the paper manufacturers, Ryland's gilt was brought home. Then came the petf- ton of his friends. So clever man ought never to be hanged. they pleaded his craftsmanship sh ould save him. Il gained him a respite; he was allowed to finish a fine engraving he had begun but nothing more. Though the engravei was 6 favorite of George TIL that King quite 1iled to see how forgery could be excused on the ground that 1t was a clever forgery.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, December 1S.-Trading in cotton goods for future delivery is at a very low ebb, but values are generally holding steady with insufficient pressure from sellers to enhance the depression. Mill agents feel that prices are as low as they can go without adding to the losses mills will be called upon to bear from continued production, and they are dis posed to wait for the turn of the year and see if the attitude of the buyer will not change. The goods under order are all wanted and anticpations of deliveries on contracts for domesties and other sta- ples are not uncommon. It is clear that stocks are not burdensome in distribut- ing hands.
 The retail holiday trade is active and the consequent release of capital may stimulate early buying in the new year. Recorders of fancy wash goods and ging- hams are being rendered. Wide sheet ings and tickfngs are very firm. Bleached sheetlngs are quiet and trading is light.
 Prints are being shipped on old orders and fancy prints for spring are growing in favor.. Mapped cottons continue steady Sales of print cloths at Fall River last week amounted to so.00o pieces, of which 35.O0O were for spot delivery. There has been better business in un- derwear and hosiery and seasonable goods ere moving out steadily.
 Cotton yarns show fairly firm. Export trade continues quiet.
 Careful attention Is being given by man. ufacturers of cotton goods to the danger of accommodating stocks from high-price cotton, and if there Is not a sharp move ment in the demand for merchandise soon after the turn of the year, curtail- ment will be resorted to in New England ana the south.
 That goods are wanted is shown by the frequency with which orders at low prices are declined.

DEMAND FOR BONDS
 SHOWS INCREASE Interest of Public Is Taken as
 Very Good Sign STOCKS ARE STILL DULL Some Activity Has Been shown in q Few Specialties During the Week
 But Business Has Been
 Quiet
STOCKS ARE STILL DULL

New York, December 1S-Quite tho most important and significant feature of the past week in the financial district was the increased demand for bonds. The movement doubtless gathered some mo- mentum from the decision of the Georgia court of appeals, which distinctly fav- ored holders of income bonds of the Gen. tral of Georgia railroad. and the addi- tional fact that January interest and div idend disbursements invariably seek rein vestment in the high-grade securities. AL together the revival of public interest ill bonds was regarded as a happy augury
 In the stock market the movement was again irregular, with alternate manifes- tations of strength and weakness The outcome was hardly satisfactory to either side, final prices in majority of tn- stances showing little change. There was some activity in the various spe- cialties, but the market for issues of that class was largely manlpulative and elicit ed practically no outside support Trad ing throughout the week was of minor proportions and as has so long been the case of an ultra professional character. Political events of the week, which .in- cluded the new supreme court appoint ments. resumption of tariff legislation, suit by the federal government against the Southern Pacific company and threat ened action from the same quarter against the so-called electrical trust, were without influence In the market
 Foreign exchange fell to the lowest point in almost three years on heavy offerings of bankers bills. The many reports Of railroad earnings submitted reflected further reduction of opera tions by many of the larger systems and excited some misgivings as to tbe sta- bility of dividends.
 An acute stage seems to have been reached in the threatened strike of west ern railroads which affects 81 transporta- tion companies and 31.0O0 employees An- other phase of the labor situation devel- oped in the decision of the United States Steel corporation to suspend operations scarcity of business The shutdown Is not likely to be of long duration, but throws a strong light on prevailing con- ditions in that important industry. In other industrial lines however, some inn provement is shown. particularly in cop per and lead.
 The merchantible trade shows marked improvement, especially in the west, where record breaking holiday business is reported.
