trict in British Columbia that can pro-
duce fancy apples is Kootenay Lake. The

we are far enough west so that we do not

New York, Jan. 3.-Dun's weekly re-
view tomorrow will say:
THE new year opens with all the
gains and advantages achieved during the
last half of 1872. There is, of course, the
lull usual during the closing days Of the
year, due to the holidays and the annual
readjustments and Inventories; but un-
derlying conditions remain unchanged,
and the new year takes over from the
old the increased agricultural wealth
resulting from the big crops, the activ-
ity in the largest industries, especially
iron and steel, the augmented confidence
in nearly all branches of domestic trade,
the record breaking foreign commerce,
and the full employment of labor at
high wages, insuring large buying power.
When it Is expected that bank clear
ings during 1872 increased 9.3 per cent
over 1911 and most of the gain was
made the last six months. some idea may
be obtained of the immense advantage
with which the new year starts over the
conditions existing twelve months and
twenty-four months ago. Railroad traf-
fic moreover, is very heavy, the latest
statistics of gross earnings showing a
gain of 5.S per cent in the three weeks
trades the seasonal slackening OF busi-
ness indicates no fundamental change
in conditions The output is practically
limited by the capacity of the plants and
the supply OF labor. From all the lead
ing cities, both East and West, the end
OF the year advances are satisfactory"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
New Year Starts with Big Advantages, Largely
Traceable to Record-breaking Crops of 1912.
Business Quiet, but Confidence in Future
Presages Actipity-Stock Market
Reflects Better Undertone

New York. Jan. 3-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
After travelling at an exceptionally
brisk pace, business has slowed down,
and everywhere things are quiet, though
less so than usual at this season. Conf
dence in the future is in evidence, the
buying power of the public is such as to
presage activity, and there are few dis
cordant notes as to the outlook, which
is deemed to be conservatively optim-
istic. Speculation in stocks and COM
modities is conspicuous by its absence,
but the stock market reflects better
undertone, owing to the improved condi-
tion of affairs in Southeastern Europe
and to expectations of easier rates for
money. In the shoe trade at Boston
spring orders on hand show a good gain
over the year. Leather is quiet and hides
are weaker, but this is due to quality
rather than quantity of offerings. At
this season trade in iron and steel usu-
ally tapers of, but transactions this year
present exceptions to the rule. The in
dustry entered the new year under a re-
markable strain to get out tonnage, and
moreover, the weak witnessed further
buying of rails and cars. Steel-making
pig irons are also in good demand. Cop
per, after a spell OF dullness, became
rather active on large sales in the clos
ing days of the old year. Lumber does
not manifest the activity displayed a
while ago, but the industry gives every
promise OF activity during 1913.
Business failures for the week ended
January were 81. against s5s last week
and $40 a year ago."

Inc dechne IN western MaryianQ
stocks to a new low level foreshadows
a probable suspension of preferred divi-
dend at directors meeting next Tues
day.
Inasmuch as the earnings have been
short of the dividend requirements dur
ing the last year and in the current
year to date. it probably will be the
policy of the management to conserve
funds until the new extension with Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Is in full and profit
able operation. This offers no adequate
explanation for the break in common
stock, which will gain from a suspension
of the preferred dividends, inasmuch as
the latter is not cumulative, and II
passed should result In commensurate
benefit to the common stock equity in the
