TRAFFIC AND BUSINESS
Western Reads Shcw Fairly Steady voIume--christmas Buying Win Stimulate Jobbing
 Business

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-western traffic conditions remain unchanged. The railroads have lost no ground as a result of a slackening pace in general business and. in spite of the talk that the trend is backward, some of the Western roads made better showing than year ago, but it must be con. lsidered that there is little buying on the part of the roads and that the Winter has been unusually favorable, all of which now figures into the gross returns at least
 Railroads operating eastward from Chicago and St. Louis last week showed a fairly steady volume of traffic although it averaged between three and five per cent, under last year.
 The western iron and steel indus. try reflects little of encouragement. There has been a decrease in both production and sales, readjustments of the tariff has not been completed and the trade is suffering. Buyers do not appear disposed to take supplies any faster than required and are ex- pected to continue this policy for some time, or until there is a re- turn of confidence. The mills are run ming at two-thirds' capacity. with new business coming in at the rate of one third. The general slowing down in business in all lines is regarded as the chief reason for the Hull which is now present.
 With the dry goods and general trade there was volume about nor. nal for this season. Jcbbers are an. ticipating a good run of buyers Warm weather has curtaiied the re, tail trade and it was barely equal to that of year ago. A good feature was the way interior merchants met
