MAINLAND TRADE
CONTINUES LIVELY

In it's summary of the trade situa-
ton. Dun's Review of December Z,
says in part:
Two events coincide to clear the
business situation Of disturbing un-
certainties-the signing Of an armis-
tice in the Balkan war and the decis-
ion of the arbitrating committee avert
ing a railroad strike. The decision Of
the Supreme Court in the Union Pa
cific merger caused some unsettle-
ment in the securities market, but
has had no other effect. Money con-
tinues high, as usual at this season,
but a large foreign trade surplus has
enabled the United States to obtain
mere gold from abroad. Railroad
gross earnings in November increased
50 per cent-the largest gain in over
a year. and comparing with gain
Of. so per cent in January-the previ-

CONGRESS HAS NOT
PRODUCED A JOLT

h Henry Clews of New York says. in
his special letter Of December z:
The first week of Congress passed
without mourning any serious legis-
lative shocks 1t has become even
more evident that the tariff will be
the pre-eminent question, and that it
will be handled in as conservative and
Notwithstanding manner as possible.
Then agitation for banking reform Is
fortunately gaining in force, and
should receive still wider encourage
ment from all classes of business
men. Secretary -MacYeagh, wisely
emphasizes the importance of such
legislation, showing clearly in his an
nual report that our present cumber.
some system tends to breed rather
than prevent panics. Unfortunately
this problem is but little understood
or felt by the masses; hence the great
desi. ability of a forceful concentra-
ton Of intelligent and expert opinion
upon his vital question"

GUS record for this year. Bank clear
ings for the first week of December
increased 6.2 per cent over last year
and 14.5 per cent over 1910. These
and other records Ct business testify
to the continuance Of widespread
activity in domestic trade. On the
other hand, the November failure en-
hibit shows a large number Of small
failures, which is a development quite
distinct from the other facts Of the
situation The iron and steel trade
still displays a. record Of wide dis
tribution, but there is evidently, for
the first time in many months, some
signs OF diminution In the volume
of new business. There Is also con-
tinned large trade in dry goods, with
the New England mills fully occupied
with orders for mex tspring; neverthe-
yeloping, the result Of the high prices.
Wooden and worsted goods are some
what more quiet and wool is very
firm. but dull. Retail mercantile con-
ditions seem very satisfactory, with
brisk holiday trade opening up. The
weather has been generally favorable
for distribution. Shoe manufacturers
are doing well, with, however, some
seasonable hesitation noted. Leather
is firm, but quiet, and hides have de-
veloped further slight weakness. With
heavy receipts and increased crop
estimates, the cotton market shows
more bearish tendencies. Foreign
trade is maintained in large volume,
experts from New York during the
latest week being $14.037,222, a con-
siderable gain over last year, but less
than in 1910. while imports were $23.-
925,515, gain of over $1,000, 900 COM
pared with 1911 and OF almost as
large a sum over 1910"
