B|G TRADE CROWNS
 APROSPEROUS YEAR Volume of Product De-
 scribed as Remarkable MONEY REMAINS FIRM
Expansion in Exports Breaks All Pre- vious RecOrds-Domestic Opera tions Slowing Down-Current
 Statistics Noteworthy

New York, December 27-Brad- streets weekly trade review will say tomorrow what is described in most sections of the country as record breaking holiday trade has crowned a year which has had few equals and fewer superiors in nearly every line of human endeavor. This, of course, re- fers directly to volume of product or value of output, rather than to mar gins of profit. which are conceded to have been cut in many lines. Best re- ports as to holiday and retail trade came from the west, northwest, most parts of the southwest and the Pa eifc slope.
 In the eastern states trade has been good and there are many large centers reporting the year-end trade as break ing all records.
 Less buoyant adviees came from the southeastern sections of Mississippi, but here shorter yields are held main ly responsible. In wholesale trade and in industry there has been a quiet tone. As the year closes the feeling is one Of cheerful conservatism, but not of pessimism, bred of the fact that three to seven months orders are in hand
 The end of the year finds the labor situation quiet as q whole after a year notable for some big strikes and for many and widespread wage advances
 Holiday dullness prevails in the New York stock market. the renewed firm ness of money, due to end the-year requirements, also retarding specula- ton. Much optimism is displayed. Bus mess failures for the week ending De- cember 26 were 253 against S22 last

Wilson on Philippines

Staunton. Va, December 27.-Presdent- elect Wilson favors a provisional gov ernment for the Philippines for eight years and independence thereafter, ae- cording to Representative William A. Jones of Virginia, chairman of the House insular- committee, who. discussed. the Philippine situation with him on the train today.
 The President-elect said merely that he had talked with MT. Jones about the general situation in the Philippines. Asked particularly if he had talked about the bill being pressed by Representative Jones in Congress, proposing a provisional government for eight years and 1nde- pendence afterward, MT. Wilson replied
 ''Oh, we talked about that at Seagirt last summer"
 Representative Jones, however, had no hesitancy in saying that Governor Will son already had heartily indorsed to him the pending bill.
 We really don't expect the measure to pass this Congress- said MT. Jones, but it surely will go through in the extra session and will be one of the first pledges of the democratic national plat form to be carried out"
 Though President-elect Wilson accepted the invitation of his reilow townsmen to spend his birthday here, he sent his regrets that he could not attend another birthday celebration to which Master John Paul Mansmaunn of 503 Steuben street, invited him+
 The governor wrote the following re- ply:
 My Dear Little Friend:-I wish with all my headt that I could attend your birthday party on the 18th of December. It would be very delightful. If l could come, I am sure I would manage to feel hftf Orf nately it is not possible. E I can only send my warmest greetings and heartiest best wishes. Cordially yours, (Siened) 'WOODROW WILSON,

FEWER CATTLE BUT
 AT MORE MONEY

Chicago, December 27.-Fewer cattle by 231, ,29S have been received at the Chicago stock yard this year than in 1911, accord ing to figures announced tonight. Despite this fact, more money was paid for beef during 1912 than in 1911 by s3,2S27 7S5. The total paid out this year was $1S3, 4SS,9o9
 Three reasons are given for the in- creased price of beef. The western states did not raise as many cattle as usual owing to droughts, farmers turned their pastures into wheat fields and the de- mand for beef increased. It is explained that the population in the United States in the last 20 years has incerased 20 per cent while the increase in cattle mas been only per cent.
 Beef export fell off this year owing to the big home demand. In 1911 there were 47 GOO cattle exported from the Chicago yards compared with 23,OoO this year.

Another display of ire works came at Gordonville, but the biggest crowd of all pressed around the train at Charlottesville, where Governor and Mrs. Mann and dele- gation from Richmond joined-the party.

UNKNOWN STEAMER
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Revenue Cutters Search for Survivors In Small
 Boats

Newport, R. |, December 27.-Two rev- enue cutters, the Acnshnet and the Seneca, were flashing their searchlignts over the sea southeast of Block Island late tonight for some trace of small boats from a burning vessel. Wireless communication with the cutters was poor and little could be learned of their search The burning vessel, apparently three or four masted schooner, was first seen by a resident of Block Island and the revenue cutters were notified. The high northwest gale made it impossible for life boats to put out
 The Seneca from Newtondon was first in the vicinity and was joined later by the Acushnet from Woods Hole. It was believed at the life saving stations on Block Island that the crew of the shif had been driven to their boats by the fire, but little hope was felt that small craft could live in such sea. The wliid was blowing at between 30 and 60 miles an hour and the cold was bitter.

 Governor Wilson shook hands hearti- ly with those introduced to him ana talked a few minutes with MT. Eustis, referring briefly to the inaugural plans, Then he stepped into the car and the informal reception continued as the car was switched from the Pensylvania tracks of the waiting Chesapeake and Ohio train.
 Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and her daugh- ters are looking forward to the inaugura- tion on March 4 with more than usual expectancy None of them ever has seen a President of the United States induct- ed into office. The fact developed in a letter written by Mrs. Wilson replying to a query whether the Mistress of the White House would receive the members of a woman's political league imm ediately after the ceremonies. The reply follows:
 "Your letter just received. hasten to say that while l feel quite sure that 1t can be arranged for the ladies of the Southern league to be received after the inaugural ceremonies, I myself yet too ignorant in the matter to say anything more on my own account as have never witnessed an inauguration and know nothing of the prospectus.

New York, December 27-Dun's re- view will say tomorrow
 The notable developments at the close of the year is the tremendous eXpan- sion in exports which are breaking all previous records, the movement from the port of New York for the latest week amounting to s26, 376,000, $4136,- 900 larger than in 1911. There is some slowing down of domestic operations in the closing weeks of the year as is usual, yet the current statistics of bus mess continue almost as noteworthy as those of foreign commerce. Bank clear ings (about the best measure of ac- tivty available) increased this week 11.9 per cent as compared with 1911 and railroad gross earnings for the first half of December gained 3.S per cent.
 Retail holiday trade was of impos ing proportions and this has favor able effect on wholesale trade and on industrial lines. In the iron and steel trade, the chief feature is the continued heavy purchases by the railroads There are shorter holiday suspensions of work this year than is usual, owing to the insistence of demand The grain and cotton markets show continued large domestic movement and exports Inter- est in the financial markets is still keen, as to the result of the Balkan peace negotiations in Iondan but holiday quietness generally prevails.

pulled the mouth tight across their
necks, and 80 slept In the snow with
only their heads out.
Before retiring to rest, Nansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozily tucked Into
the other sleeping-bag. When he
awoke in the morning, almost numb
with cold, he observed that the bag
in which he had tied up the Lapland-
ers was empty, and that they were mo-
where in sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him. and scrambling
out Of the bag, went in search OF
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind q hillock Of snow that
they had scraped together as a pro-
lection against the wind.
"Ah, MASTER" they said, when ask.

duct, I'VE couldn't sleep in that thing.
