TRADE STILL GROWS.
Business in Some Lines Has Nearly
Reached Capacity.

New York, Nov. 23.-R. G. Dun's
Weekly Review says:
Trade in the United States shows fur
Their expansion, reports from different
sections and all statistics of traffic and
exchanges spea king loudly of a great
activity that in some instances is
bounded only by the limit of capacity.
In iron and steel the leading interest
is operating at about 95 per cent of
capacity. Current bookings exceed pro-
duction, with railroad requirements
forming large share of the new bdsi-
ness. Estimates indicate that more
been closed for next year, while Chi
cago reports the sale of 10000 tons of
car material. practically all of which
is for delivery during the second half
of 1913.
In the primary dry goods market
there is a large volume of business with
prices in practically all instances we'll
maintained. Jobbers of cotton goods are
making liberal purchases of domestics
and staples for spring. Bleached cot
tons have stiffened. In woolens there is
an active demand for overcoating for
immediate delivery and desirable goods
bring full market rates. Considerable
business has been offered the mills for
the next heavyweight season, but COM
paratively few orders have been placed
because manufacturers are asking
higher prices than buyers are willing
to pay. A very active trade is moving
in worsted knitting yarns, and cotton
yarns have sold freely at firm prices.
The activity in the shoe trade has now
reached close to the point of productive
capacity. Leather and hides continue
very strong.

Iantry in Action.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Five young
men, officers and enlisted men IN
! Uncle Sans active military force
came together at the White House to-
day to receive the highest award that
{ n be given an American soldier, the
medal of honor. Four of them, from
| the Presidio. San Francisco, brought
memories of the hunt and capture OF
the Filipino pirate chief, Jikiri, in
1909. while the fifth, a cavalry officer,
who had helped protect the town or
Douglas, Arizona, last year. heard
modestly the retelling of his riding
into a rain # bullets to stop fight
that threatened the lives of Americans:
The soldiers decorated Tor deeds or
gallantry in action were:
First Lieutenant Archie Miller ana
Eecond Lieutenants Arthur H. wilson
and John T. Kennedy, all of the Sixth
cavalry; Quartermaster Joseph hen
derson. an enlisted man, of Troop b,
Sixth cavalry, and Captain Julian
Gaujot of the First cavalry.

White House for the ceremony at 2:SO
o'clock all of the Medal of Honor men

tired), and nearly a score OF OJnerS,
whose deeds of "gallantry in action"
ran back through the history of Cuban
and Philippine campaigns to the STIR
ring days of Indian fighting and the
Civil war.
In the Philippines.
The Sixth cavalry men honored to-
day Ill won their spurs in the Philip
pines. They were under orders from
General Leonard Wood when they
went on the trail of Jikiri, who had
killed hundreds of Chinese and Moros,
and had become the terror of the Jolo
archipelago. In a campaign noted for
the brilliancy of the personal acts of
bravery, they caught the narauder
and his allies, and effecrually put an
end to the piracy he had directed.
In the final fight, according to the
reports made by Captain George L.
Byram, their commanding officer, the
present medal of honor men rushed
ahead of the line and engaged in
hand-to-hand fights with the pirate
chief and his lieutenants.
Captain Gaujot of the First cavalry
won his medal much nearer home.
He was in command of troops on the
order line when the battle of Aqua
Prieta, Mexico, threatened the lives
and property of the citizens of Doug
las, Arizona, April 10. 1911.
According to an e.-e witness, Cap
tain Gaujot seeing the havoc wrought
by Mexican bullets that came to the
American side, rode boldly through the
fire nto Aqua Prieta, where he in
duced the Mexicans to lay down their
arms and stop the combat.

OF little consequence.
Bonds were irregular.
Losses We're general in the first transac-

yesterdays selling movement was coupled
with the renewed decline of Americans in
London. Amalgamated, B. and o. and
Canadian Pacific with losses of a point,
were the weakest stocks.
Support appeared for steel and ii made
up its loss rapidly. Full recoveries also
occurred in Union Pacific and Reading,
but the copperS continued heavy and act
ed as drag. Liquidation of some large
blocks of Distillers was accompanied by
rumors of poor business and possible sus-
pension of dividends.

MEXICANS
Proclamation Prohibits Ship

Washington, March 15.-President
Taft issued a proclamation specifically
prohibiting the sale and shipment of
arms by Americans to Mexicans who
are not recognized representatives Of
the Mexican government. Conviction
for the violation of the proclamation
carries a fine of $4,000 or imprison-
ment for not more than two years, or
both.
As soon as the proclamation was
signed Ambassador Wilson at the City
of Mexico and every consul In Mexico
within reach of the telegraph were mo-
tilted of the action taken and instruct
ed to spread the news broadcast.
With the sending of Instructions to
the American representatives in the
City of Mexico went an order from the
war department to military command
ers of half a dozen army posts to have
their troops ready for duty on the Mex
lean frontier Is soon as possible.
1t was stated at the war department
that In the next few days between
1000 and 5000 United States regulars
will be sent to the border to REINFORCE

New York, March 15.-Colonel Roose-

troll It21 in the current number OF the
Outlook. He finds that the Standard
Oil trust and the tobacco trust have
positively benefited by the supreme

such lawsuits is a Source OF constant
uneasinoss and alarm to honest and
upright business men, whose anxiety
is to find out the law and then to i've

The colonel quotes from d newspaper
alleging that Standard Oil insiders
have made big profits at the expense
Of the stockholders by reason of their
knowledge of the extra dividends to be
paid by subsidiaries. He says:
when such a state of affairs results
from a successful suit under the anti

HeroIsrn Of Women.

It Is painful to note that few Car
negie medals go to women. One might
infer from this that heroism is exelu-
Bively a male characteristic, comments
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Fortunately,
1t isn't SO. As a fact most women have
to be heroes to get through this world
at all. They do things right along
which would make q man famous
Some of them exhibit constant hero
ism by living with nnen who ought to
be in jail or in the tomb. But, aside
from such considerations, women have
done their share In every branch OF
heroic effort SO far as opportunities
opened.

Modern Appliances for Whaling.

The use of the modern whaling cam
mon in place of the old-fashioned and
more picturesque hand harpoon has
been familiar for a good many years,
but 1t Ia probably not widely known
that another modern invention has
been pressed into service. Compressed
air is now pumped into the whales
carcass until 1t resembles a toy bal
loon, and the hole filed with oakum,
SO that the whaler may set the car
cass aloat with g buoy to mark 1t,
without danger of it's sinking.
In this way time can be saved In
starting on tho pursuit Of other whales
which may be In sight.
