CLOSING DAYS OF 1912 SEE EX.
PANSION ALONG ALL
LINES OF TRADE.

NEW YORK. December 15.-R. G.
Dun's weekly review of trade Will to-
morrow say in part:
The betterment in Industrial and
trade conditions, signs of which have
been visible to close observers for
two months. has now become plain to
all. and IL reflected by the expansion
in bank clearings and railroad earn
ings, the big uplift in the iron and
steel trade, the advance in copper.
The increased activity in dry goods,
the brisker demand for money, and
In the confidence inspired by the
record-breaking cotton crop Of up
wards of 100000 bales. There Is
no disposition to minimize the prob
lens still unsolved, but business men
are disposed to move ahead In spite
Of them. and the situation as the year
draws to a close is much more en-
couraging as to be the years most
conspicuous development. The hol-
iday trade is notably active in all the
the large cities. The improvement In
iron and steel grows steadily and is
accompanied with advances in prices
The outlook for the new year is ex-
ceedingfy promising. In the dry
goods trade the most notable devel-
opsnent is the betterment in wooiene
and worsteds. Silks are also strong
er. Leather is dull. but prices firm,
Hides are weak, Copper stocks de-
cline and copper prices advance. The
cotton goods markets are still in the
process OF REIMBURSEMENT to lower raw
material. and buyers are inclined to
cover their requirements moderately
