take. They did not take the pews with

Bradstreet's Review

New York, December 22.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 While the weather has not been of the best for holiday shopping and country trade especially has been retarded holi- day influences have been instrumental in inducing sL large volume of buying at re- tail and. early reports of volume of this department of activity are generally as favorable as last year in most sections. Least satisfactory advices come from the south, owing to low priced cotton, and parts of the Pacific northwest, where the oppressive influences which have tra- versed, the entire country still finger.
 In the larger fields of basic endeavor the events of the week have been mainly favorable. Good effects of the late serious decline in cotton and cotton goods as found in an enlargement of demand for certain varieties of the latter with some advances of the prices of leading makes. The iron and steel trade continues to evince the cheerfulness hitherto noted and very good trade has been done in steel rails during the week. In general wholesale trade the tendency has been to quiet down as the year draws to close statesmen come in from the road and in- ventory time approaches. The boot and shoe trade, sends irregular reports ac- cordingly as eastern and western reports are examined The best reports come
 
 notes that weather conditions have not been favorable to distribution. The leather trade is strong; sole leather lead ing, while fashion changes affect calls for patent grades. The lumber trade sends various reports. The eastern cen ters note fair activity, while from the Pa cific northwest advices are of quiet trade.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending December 21 were 29l. against so9 last week, 271 in the like week of 1910, 264 in 1909, 196 in 1908, and PAS in 1907.
 Note: Canadian failures not given.
 Wheat, including four exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending December 21, aggregate 4,530,S01. against 3,15I733 last week, and 2,729,S17 this week last year. For the 25 weeks ending December q, exports are S1,S14557 bushels, against 5S,S50,Oo4 in the corre- spending period last year.

SANTA CLAUS LATE
Express Car Wrecked Near Geneva
 Loaded With Christmas Gifts

Hartford, December 22.-(Special.)-- Santa Claus will be late this year for some of the people of south Alabama. The cause of his delay was the wreck of the baggage and express car of the noon train of the Central of Georgia railway here yesterday. The car was overturned all most in front of the depot. The wreck was caused by the large accumulation of sand which the heavy downpour of the morning had washed in on the siding. It is reported that a considerable quantity of the liquid which inebriates" was spilled, and a good deal of Christmas ex- press was delayed. One of the express men was injured but it is not known how seriously. The rest of the train was after some delay carried on without the express car.

HOLIDAY TRADE
 BEEN VERY GOOD In Some Cities in Excess of
 Former Years IRON OUTLOOK IS FINE Orders for Fully 500, 1000 Tons of Rails Expected in Immediate Future. Considerable Bridge Work
 Is Coming Out

New York, December 22.-R. c. Dunn &
 Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
 The holiday retail trade has been very in excess of former years, revealing note
 worthy ability and willingness among customers to spend. Wholesale operations are naturally held somewhat in check by
 the holiday trade and by the settlements
 incident to the closing of the year, but
 there is no indications of changes in the
 more favorable situation in business,
 which has been progressively manifest
 during the past few weeks.
 The bright outlook in iron and steel Is
 enhanced by prospective large purchases
 of rails, orders for fully 500000 tons being
 expected in the immediate future. This
 tonnage will embrace contracts from sev-
 eral prominent roads, while, in addition,
 other equipment is being freely taken.
 Considerable bridge work is coming out.
 and the Pennsylvania car order will re- quire 24,00O tons.
 Producers now find it possible to es- tablish a firmer price basis, and the re- cent low quotations in structural ma- terial have disappeared, although attrac- tive business is still open to concessions. After a market short of activity pig iron is more quiet, but values are firmer, and
 $14.25 value is practically the minimum
 on Bessemer, although small lots have
 changed hands below this figure.
 While immediate is seasonaby quiet, the undertone of the cotton goods market indicates slow but steady improvement in the volume of distribution Drills for converting purposes are in steady de-
 mand, and some heavy sheetngs are be- ing ordered moderately, while light sales of print cloths and convertibes are re-
 ported. Mills are generally adherng 10 prices based upon If 1-16c for 3S1a inch, | 64 by 6fs, but occasion concessions are reported. Exports to miscellaneous ports continue good and some small Red Sea buying is being done, while shipments | to China last week aggregated 3400 bales. l Steady improvement continues in the market for woolen and Worsted goods, a | good duplicate business coming in on dress goods for spring delivery in nov | city fabrics, whip cords and cream goods. Foot wear rules quiet, with few supple mentary orders, many manufacturers now running under curtailed production preparatory to inventory taking. Jobbers | find retail trade good In the leather oc- | casional concessions are reported in a 1 few instances principally harness leather | and shoe side uppers; other kinds, such as sole leather offal and calf skins, are l decided strong.
