 BUSINESS CIRCLES
Many Causes for Favor able Sentiment in
 Finances

New York. December 24.-Dun's review will say on Saturday
 The railroad rate decision, continued big exports of wheat and other products and colder weather. which stimulates re- tail distribution, exert the most important influence in the markets this week. De- cember, with it's holiday interruptions and inventories. is not usually a month for large developments in business activity but the recent progress in financial re- cuperation, the rapid establishment of a big balance of trade in favor of this coun- try and the rate decision giving a large part of the relief asked for from the in- terstate commerce commission, combine to create favorable sentiment in business The better feeling has undoubtedly im- parted a brisker movement to the hrist- mas trade. which, though less in volume than last year, has been much more ac- tive than appeared possible a few weeks ago.
 Bank clearings for the week were s2- O6S, ,s26. i0S a decrease Of l2 per cent as compared with se.ssl, ,ses727 in the same week last year.
 Failures for the week were 376 aeainst 4ia last week and 2s9 in the same week last year.

Wenders Sixty Million Dollar Estate Goes to Four Aged Sisters Who Are All With
 out Heirs
By HOLLAND

New York, December 24.-fSpeciall-Fo Vhe last week in July of this year, the pay roll of one of the leading industries in the east was. in round numbers sl400o. It would not have been so large as this by several thousand dollars if this indus try had not been manufacturing com modities for which large market had already been found across the sea On Saturday of this week, the pay roll for this corporation was little over S3s,00o, and the increase is due almost exclusively to the demands which have come from belligerent nations for the commodities which are manufactured by this corpora tonal space, the corporation will be glad to take on 400 additional artisans. Re- ports which are similar to this come from other parts of the country. One manu- featuring plant in New Jersey whose pay roll in July was approximately s4000 a week is now paying nearly s1Oo00 weekly to it's employees. These increases in pay rolls have been noticed by managers of New York banks, for it is through these institutions that 8 considerable part of the pay rolls. for manufacturing estab- 1ishments at least, are made. Pay rolls increase in them not only entails prepara- tion beforehand by banks but is also looked upon as good evidence of increas ase in business.

Was Ii a Shrewd Move?

The estimate of s60o0oOOo as the value
 Of the real estate of which the late John
 Wendel died possessed and his highly original method of handling his enormous real properties seem to have attracted at
 tention all over the country. The state
 of New York was interested, since there
 was a possibility of a large inheritance
 tax There weer only four next of kin
 or direct heirs. four sisters, and as It
 has been the invariabe custom of the
 Wendell family to bequeath estates to the
 next of kin the presumption was strong
 that MT Wendell had made such pro-
 vision by will. Proceedings before the
 surrogate a day or two ago indicate that
 MT. Wendell wrote no will He died in-
 testate apparently: therefore. under the
 law. his estate will go in proportionate
 parts to his four sisters. It was com
 mony said when publication was made
 of this that Mir. Wendell revealed his GUS
 tomary shrewdness and originality when
 he permitted divisions of his property by
 surrogate proceedings to be made to his four heirs-at-law. There could be no contest of will by remote heirs if there were any, since there was no will There would be no heavy fee to exact in the form of bonds or for charges made by executors.
 Yet experienced probate lawyers do not regard this action as an evidence of shrewdness. MT. Wendell, by will, could have left an estate to his four sisters. Administrators could have been appoint ed whose sole duty would have been to administer the estate in accordance with | the will. Nothing was gained by emitting to write will, which could not easily | have been gained by brief will bequeath- | ing his property share and share alike to l his four sisters. The state will get very | little tax out of this enormous prop ! erty. There are many conJectures ss to l what will ultimately become of the Wen | de. properties, but not any conjectures about the manner in which the heirs vii administer the S60,000,e00 worth of req property. They will act exactly as theii l brother did. accommodating real estate anc | never selling any. All are in advanced 1 life now, and the years are not distant | when the last survivor of these heirs vii 1 pass away What then will become o l this vast wealth? That is a conjec
 ture for which no one is able to give an, l answer.

orders which have been received from belligerent nations for American con- modities, and as it is observed that there is no decrease, but steady increase from week to week in the amount of these pay rolls the inference is strong that our foreign trade of this kind is steadily increasing.
 We should have been in somewhat desperate situation at this time-certainly skilled labor would have lacked full em-. ployment-had it hot beek for these heavy orders which come chiefly from England, France and Russia.
 Some International Financing
 The war and the relation which Can ada bears to it have furnished better evidence of the foreign trade now carried on- by Canada and of the strength of the International trade relations between Canada and the United States than any reports published before .he beginning of the war have done. It was known in "a general way that our trade With Canada and Canada's s with Us have been increasing so rapidly that recently our largest international trade. leaving cot ton out of consideration. has been with inc dominion. Now the Canadian gov ernment has publicly announced that the dominion must borrow not less than sioo,- GOO, ,o00 in the year 1915. or as speedily as possible. Tn normal times, Canada would have had no difficulty in financing loan of that kind in the London markets. To that market Canada would have turned, but now there are several reasons why both Canadian and American bankers, some of Boston and some of New York, are disposed to look favorably upon the marketing of that loan in the United States. There is no doubt that it would be quickly absorbed. Still it may be that the administration would hold the same view with respect to loan to Can ada that it held earlier when Mir Nor gan was informed that the administration would not look with favor upon any at tempt to place a French loan in the Uni- ted States.
 However, if 1t should he deemed best, there would be no difficulty in establish ing here or at Montreal and Ottawa cred it's in favor of Canada aggregating S1oo GOO eco, for this can be done without violat5 ing either the spirit or the letter of our neutrality. Russia has established credits here and against them drafts are daily made for payment of commodities pur- chased in the United States, vet Russia has not floated loan in the United States.

Canada's Commercial Growth

glance at the latest statement or the Royal Bank of Canada, whose head office Is at Montreal, reveals the magnitude or ba hiking influence and strength in the Dominion. This institution ranks with the greatest of American banks in New York and in Chicago. It's assets are, in round numbers, s1S00o0, ,o00o. and its divi- dend rate is maintained at F per cent. Figures like these tell story of finan- cial strength and banking influence which, relatively to that of American banks, IS much greater in Canada, for the reason that the aggregate population of Canada is approximately the same as the popula- ton of the metropolitan district of which New York city is the center
 There is. however, even better method of estima ting the commercial and indus trial growth of Canada, and it is an estt-

mate which must be- read with gfatinca- tion by the people of the United States since it shows. indirectly at least, how great our own commercial relations with Canada and Canada's with us now are. The November trade of Canada was in the aggregate of S126.0O0.00o and it's trade for the Il months of the present calendar year was nearly s77o.eo0o0o. It should be, approximately. in the 12 months Of this year s900.0o0 oo0. Canada has been re- drcing rapidly the visible unfavorable trade balance and all the indications point to a trade balance in her favor within the next year or two. The striking feature of Canada's foreign trade is the rapid growth of its exports of manufactured commodities. In this respect it resembles the record made by the United States in the past b years. Between January l and November l of the present year Canada s exports of manufactured commodities were Slo,ooo,O00 greater than for the like period of year ago. Some of these ex- ports are of commodities manufactured in plants situated upon Canadian soil and
 which are owned and operated by the United States capital. Some of these plants are doing very large business in exporting commodities of raw material. All these factors. combined with the fact that Canada is so heavy a purchaser of ccmmoC ties of the United States. explains
 why this country will be glad to partici- pate in such financing as Canada now finds expedient
