Rock Island was weak to-day, but

reminiscent Rock Island committed sui

pecially restless. Some people saw IN
the strength of Lehigh to-day evidence
of the old Rock Island plan to get con-
troll of the Lehigh and Wabash. 1t

much Wabash preferred at high prices

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun and Bradstreet Report Conditions Satisfac
factory Except Where Affected by
Bad Weather.

New York, Dec. pr. G. Dun's weekly
review of trade will tomorrow say in
part:
The holiday retail trade has been very
satisfactory, and in some of the cities
in excess of former years, revealing
noteworthy ability and willingness
among consumers 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 indicated change
in the more favorable situation in busi-
ness, which has been progressively mani
fest during the past few weeks.
THE expansion in the iron and steel
trade is maintained with immediate and
prospective purchases of rails and equip
ment by the railroads in such volume as
to Indicate their preparation for larger
traffic Railroad earnings in the first two
weeks of December increased 81 per cent
over last year.
The textile situation also continues to
improve conservatively, but steadily, and
with new cotton mills opening and others
increasing output the demand for raw
cotton makes that market firm, notwith-
standing the fact that the estimates for
an unprecedentedly big cotton crop seems
to be actually underestimated and that
the yield will be even greater Woolen
and worSted goods are also III DelleT ue-
mand Hides continue steady and leather
very firm. Further increase is made in
| copper.
Dividend and interest disbursements in
January will amount to over S282, 100000,
a large increase over 1910, result which
| is all the more notable in view of the
restraints recently put upon business.
The fact that three gains are made in so
many important trades, under conditions
not altogether auspicious for new enter
prise goes to show how easy and quick
would be the recovery to full productive
capacity if confidence was completely
restored"
The Washington herald., 1911-12-23

New York, Dec 22.-Bradstreet's week
ly review OF trade will tomorrow say
in part:
while the weather has been not of the
best for holiday shopping and country
trade especially has been retarded, holi-
day influences have been instrumental In
inducing a 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. The
textile trade sends better reports.
The report of the tariff board and the
ensuing Executive recommendations have
been quite favorably received. Good ef-
fects of the late serious decline in cotton
and cotton goods are found in an en-
largment of the demand for varieties
of the latter with some advances in prices
of leading makes.
The iron and steel trade continues to
cvince the cheerfulness hitherto noted.
and a very good trade has been done in
ails during the week. In wholesale trade
the tendency has been to quiet down as
the year draws to a close. The boot and
shoe trade sends irregular reports. The
leather trade is strong. sole leather lead
ing, while fashion changes affect calls
for patent grades.
The lumber trade sends varying re-
ports. The Eastern centers note fair ac-
tivity, while from the Pacific Northwest
advices are of quiet trade. Commodity
Prices movements are not greatly differ
ent 1t might be noted that holiday sup
plies. especially poultry. are low in price,
due to the large supply, but butter and
eggs are much higher. The grain mar
kets show strikingly little change.
Business failures for the week ended
December u were 293, against 800 last
week, and 27l a year ago

Last night as the great clock in the
Union Station struck seven times, a train
pulled out from under the shed. On that

Pa. AS the train slowly left the station
Mr.. Dillon was on the platform looking
at the fast disappearing coaches. At last
the observation car was out OF sight.
Mr.. Dillon turned to leave. He had faith

FINANCE AND REALTY

Further advance was noted in Wash
ington Railway and Electric common on
the local stock exchange yesterday, and
at close this security had established
the new price of 49 3-S with 49 1-2 asked.
Railway common thus scored a three
eighth point advance over its best price
of Thursday, and backed by the sale Of
200 shares, gave every indication Of high
er levels next week.
Although Washington Gas f1uctuated
between IS Is and IS rs, the volume of
sales was made at the latter figure,
which is accepted as the true quotation
of the stocks value With this gain,
Gas went practically seven-eighths OF a
point over Thursdays figures and again
shared the center of buying interest
with Railway common. Gas was bid IS
at close, with IS Is asked.
Capital Traction IS were strong at Ill,
with scrip at 112. Washington Railway
and Electric Is, in small lots, brought
Sc, with the preferred in small lots sell
ing at IS 3-S and Ss 1-2. Mergenthaler was
practically unchanged at 221 with Wash
ingtOn-Virginia Railway common quoted
at 46 IA in sales amounting to 100
shares. United States Trust was off
nearly a point on a one-share trans
action.
