RECENT GAINS ARE BEING MAINTAINED According to Dun's Weekly
 Trade Review JOBBING TRADE QUIET Pig Iron Active But Prices Remain Low-Quotations in Finished

 Dry Goods Active
JOBBING TRADE QUIET

New York, December S.-R. c. Dun &, Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Recent gains in the leading indus tries and trades are maintained Re- tail trade, particularly for the holidays, is expanded by the generally favorable weather but jobbing trade as is now, is some quiter.
 The year draws to a close with steel production at Pittsburg equal to that of any previous time this year, local plants rolling plates and steel bars operating S5 per cent of capacity Further substantial purchases of pig iron emphasize the recent favorable turn in general condition Activity was pronounced in all departments and es- pecially in boundary grades Tin mills are resuming with contracts on hand for about 60 per cent of capacity. Butte weld was reduced $2 and lap weld pipe $4 a ton. The minimum spot price of steel bars is $1.10 and futures quoted at $1.15 The copper situation is firmer. The print cloths and fine plain goods markets are somewhat irregular and duplicate oIuSIS TUT WASH HUI dlC hard to secure.
 A revision of prices on 44 bleached cottons is announced and new business is broadening on these cloths. Export trade with miscellaneous ports is still good and a sale of standard drills has been made for India shipments. Red sea buyers are making inquiries but no business is possible with China ow- ing to the disturbed conditions in that country.
 In mems wear circles leading mills are well employed. Dress goods mills making cream and colored serges have booked good spring business, but other clothes are generally quiet. Worsted yarn spinners are in a better position than for many months. The ribbon trade has been better of late.
 Most New England foot wear manu lecturers as well as those in other sec tions are actively employed with good volume of contracts in reserve. The more reasonable weather has helped trade, particularly in heavier weights. Trade in leather was quiet Country hides declined r cent and buffs have been sold down to 13A

Rradstreet's Review

New York; December S-Bradstreet s tomorrow will say: Expansion in holiday trade. clearance sales by jobbers, which have attracted numerous buyers; a seas onably good trade in staple lines at re- tail. notwithstanding higher temperatures; frmer prices for finished steel and activity in pig iron are the chief favorable devel- opments of the week.
 Wholesale trade has become somewhat quiet, largely on account of the approach ing holidays, while salesmen are being gradually withdrawn from the road Buy ing for spring is still marked by more or less conservatism, southern points being especially conspicuous in this respect Fair activity is noted in dry goods for future delivery, revisons of bleached cottons and wide sheeting have served to bring out a pretty good volume of business and mills making heavy goods receiving lib- eral orders, but irregularity in prices in cotton yarns leads to the belief that com mission houses are carrying rather large stocks. Orders for dress goods for bring the coming out and it is stated that de mand is for the finer grades, while a similar statement comes from manufac- turers of mems wear.
 Leather is quiet but steady in price. In jewery inquiries seem to be for .he cheaper grades. Pig iron is active but prices remain low, though quotations on finished steel tend to harden, there being a conservative belief that the corner has been turned However, it is recognized that some weeks may elapse before def mite views as to sustained higher prices can be formed.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending December were 267. against PIG last week, 2G7 in the like week of 1910, 2G9 in 1909, 20S in 1908 and 2S4 in 1907
