Standards Of ilI,teranx.

Only three persons out of 10000 in
Germany are unable to read or write,
while the proportion of illiteracy in
Great Britain is $50 in 10000, as
against 40 in 10000 in the United

These figures are based on a COM
parison of illiteraey among some of
the leading nations which has just
been made and issued by the United

American figures include the entire

while the German figures cover only

Shows the Largest Retail
Trade on Record.
DRY Goods Gel Recorders for
Spring -Coitons Less Active.
The Footwear Business Brisk..Most
Factories Are Well Employed.

New York, Dec. 13.-R. G. Dun &
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade, to-
morrow, win say:
What appears to be the largest hol
iday retail trade ever known is in
progress. this being a very practical
test of the buying power, and indus
trial prosperity with labor everywhere
fully employed. Indeed, the only linn
it to production in many lines is the
limit fixed by the scarcity of labor.
Large recorders for spring distribu-
ton are a feature of dry goods.
While the demand for cottons is
slightly less active, there is a good
seasonahle trade and prices are very
firm. Brown and bleached domestics
are well under order and tickings,
denims, cheviots and similar goods are
in satisfactory position, while ducks
are sold ahead as far as agents will
go. The knit goods trade is active,
and liberal fall orders for hosiery and
underwear are being placed at ad-
vanced prices. Fall River sold 100, =.
600 pieces of print cloths, last week,
of which 10000 were for spot deliv-
cry, and stocks of all kinds of cloths
at the center are reduced to about
10000 pieces, or less than the limited
amount held when the year opened
Woolens and worsteds are seasonably
quiet, but mills are busy ON old or
ders. The outlook for continued de-
mand for silks is good.
Activity continues in footwear and
most manufacturers are we'll employ
ed. Numerous supplementary orders,
stipulating the earliest possibly deliv-
cry are being placed and business in
spring lines is coming in much more
freely. The quietness in leather, usu-
al at the end of the year, still pre-
walls and sales are mostly small and
for immediate requirements. Weak
ness in the hide markets causes some
buyers to believe that leather will fail
to hold it's present level of values but
supplies are far from burdensome and
no concessions have yet been report
eG in shoe leather. The reaction in
hides was not confined to any partic-
ular variety, but embraced about all
kinds of hides and skins in every
market in the world. An especially
sharp break occurred in foreign dry

WatervilIe Suffers Disastrous Fire,
Early Friday Morning.

Waterville, Me, Dec. 13.-(SpeciaD.-
Fire which broke out, early Friday
morning, Quilted the Williams block
on Main street, and gave the Water
Vile firemen the hardest struggle they
have had since the Wardwell- Emery
fire, last December. The house is in
nabited by many women, several of
whom We're obliged to come down the
firemens ladders in their sleeping at
tire. The loss has been estimated at
$4,000, but later estimates put it at
less than that, probably $4,000 or
SIS, 900. Those who suffer from the
fire are John Withee, manager of the
Williams house, - the Boston cafe,
Cloutier Brothers Specially store, E.
F. Clair, shoe manufacturing shop;
the Waterville Drug store, Pierre For
tier, proprietor, and John b. Roder-
igue, billiards and pool.
The damage to tile Williams house
was caused mostly by the fire, but the
other places We're damaged principally
by water. On account of the peculiar
construction of the building and the
roof it was necessary to use large
amount of water.
William Murray, night clerk at the
house, discovered the fire in a small
closet adjoining the south corner room
in the1first floor. 1t is thought that ii
was caused by an eyer-heated Chin
ney. as a pipe runs directly through
this part. The alarm was sent in from
Box 81 in City Hall square.
The loss on the Fortier drug store,
which was insured for $4,000. is esti-
mated at not more than $4,000. most
of which was caused by water. The
total loss is practically covered by
insurance.
The fire was under control, at 100
A. NJ, but broke out once or twice af-
ter that. Men were on hand to look
after it, But few people Were out at
the fire. owing to the lateness of the
hour. and the fact that the Water
vile fire alarm does not make much
of a noise, anyway.
1t was later ascertained that the
loss on Cloutier Brothers stock will
be heavier than at first thought. Mr..
Cloutier estimates his loss at 80 per
cent. This will be a large item The
Insurance on Glars shoe manufae-
turing establishment is $4,000, and the
loss will be less than that.
