Weekly Review of
Trade Situation.

New York, Jan. Or. G. Dun &
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade to-
morrow will say:
Little tangible evidence is present
as yet that the turning in business
has been reached but the general SEN
timent is more hopeful. Wholesale
trade is rather more active while re-
tail demands have broadened under
the stimulus of the usual clearance
sales and more seasonable weather
in some sections. Many buyers are be-
ginning to appear in the dry goods
market and conservatism is the rule
in the matter of future purchases,
stocks are low. Wooden and worsted
mills are fairly well engaged on old
orders and wool is moving steadily
with some grades tending to advance
owing to the strong statistical posi-
ton. Full resumption of operations is
reported at New England footwear
factories. While the demand for iron
and steel is still confined mainly to
actual needs, some increase in BUSH
ness is apparent and the situation is
more encouraging.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 400 against 1863 the
corresponding week last year.

Huerta's Finan=
cial Abilities May
PrOlong Revolution.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Prolongation of
the revolution in Mexico is believed by
the officials here to depend largely up
on the measure of success attained by
Gen. Huerta in the execution of his
scheme for the enforced circulation of
state bank notes. They think the real
test of the popular support of the
Huerta government will be found in
the manner in which the Mexican bus
mess interests receive this latest
move.
In preparation for another great
battle between the Mexicans in the
neighborhood of Ojinaga. Brig. Gen.
Bliss, commanding the American Dor
der forces, is strengthening the patrol
at that point and preparations are
being made on large scale to receive
and care for the many refugees who
are expected to cross the boundary.
Under Secretary Garrison's orders
the troops of either side if defeated in
battle are privileged to seek refuge in
Texas Consequently the American
forces are facing a serious military
problem, which may involve not only
the disarming of several thousand
troops, but their subsequent "deten-
ton" which is the latest army term
for the internment prescribed by in
ternational law.
The only direct news from the west
coast of Mexico today came in a tele-
gram from Admiral Cowles dated at
Mazatlan yesterday, stating that there
was no visible sign of attack on that

An Idea of Size of
Great Gatun Lake

Washington, Jan. 9.-Some idea of
the size of Gatun lake, the great arti-
fetal body of water created by the
engineers to supply the Panama ca
nal with water, may be gathered from
the fact that it required weeks time
to lower the water level seven tenths
of one foot through one of the large
gates at the Gatun spillway.
Since the locks were closed and the dam
completed. the water has been steadily
accommodating until on Dec. II it had
reached height of S47 feet. A small
dixie remaining to be constructed on a
low place on the dam, it became neces-
sary to reduce the level to 81 feet while
ahe work was in progress. The drawing
off of this seven-tenths of one foot of
water involved a loss of 5000, 00O, 900 cubic
feet of the 1,s1S-0O0, 000, 600 feet behind the
DAM
Taking advantage of the open gate
way, steam launch is rounding up
the numerous floating islands within
the lake area and showing them into
the current in order that they may be
carried out to sea.
Last year was the first of record in
which, during the dry season, the
water of the lake exaporated more
rapidly than the rate of run-off; in or
binary seasons the supply exceeds the
evaporation.
Even in a season of minimum rain
fall the lake with an elevation of 81
feet at the end of the rainy season,
will supply water for the canal for As
lockages a day without reducing the
minimum depth in the canal channel
below 39H feet.
