New York, Dec. ls.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say:
THE improving tendency in trade be-
comes more distinct and general, ana
the favorable decision OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission In granting with
few exceptions, the application OF the
Eastern railroads for per cent IN
crease in freight rates Is a constructive
development of much Importance.
Confidence also 10 strengthened by
more liberal credits. the cheapness OF
money for short terms, better collections,
and still more blythe prosrsss Of financia'
recuperation.
The opening Of the stock exchange to
stock dealings proved so successful that
all restrictions were removed. except that
of minimum prices, which was not re-
quired. so far as there was, any evidence
Of extensive liquidation. So favorable
has been the turn of affairs that nego-
tiations recently conducted here by rep
resentatives of the English exchequer
have been abandoned the re-established
balance of trade in favor of this country
rendering extraordinary expedients un-
necessary.
THE heavy export movement continues,
shipments of merchandise from New
York during the latest week of December
being nearly 10000 larger than last
year, while the nations favorable trade
balance in November was S79,299,FI
Railroad gross earnings for the first
week in December declined l0.4 per cent
and in spite Of the extensive economies
the companies are incapable OF making
needed purchases and extensions.
Trade continues best in the West,
where agricultural conditions are most
favorable but in the South, where the
big cotton crop Is being sold at low
prices, the movement continues greatly
restricted.
In the East the improvement Is SLOW
so far as domestic distribution Is con-
cerned, except that the colder weather Is
helping retail distrlbution. wholesale
jobbing business Is gaining in volume
especially in cotton goods, although to
considerable extent this is due to price
concessions.
The retail demand for shoes Is helped
by lower temperatures, but general con-
ditions in the trade are backward 10
the iron and steel industry the reduced
prices have finally resulted in an in
creased demand. but the movement Is
very irregular and slow"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Optimism Is More in Evidence Thanks to Lower Rates fol
Money and Favorable Decision Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the Freight Rate Cases.

New York, Dec. s.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Trade currents run along irregular
lines. On the one hand, retail trade has
been helped by two factors. holiday buy
Ing and cold weather, but In the larger
lines the immediate situation is quiet,
rejecting pre-inventory conditions, plus
seasonal slowing down in Industrial pur-
suits. At the same time optimism as
to the future is more in evidence. thanks
to lower rates for money, Improvement
IN financial markets and the rendering
OF decision in the Eastern railway
freight rate case.
Incidentally. buying OF finished steel,
as well as OF cotton goods for future de-
livery. has expanded somewhat.
"As already indicated, cold weather has
quickened retail trade. thus giving rise
| to little better demand from jobbers for
filling-in purposes, but holiday distribu-
tion, while probably up to moderately
keyed anticipations. is below that of
other years. and there IL a marked dis
position TO buy staple articles rather than
luxuries.
In fact, most markets note that the
buying public displays a preference for
low priced goods, this manifestation be-
| ing obviously due to lack OF work.
Exceptions to the general rule are
furnished by cereal producing sections,
which have been favored by high prices
| for wheat and oats. in consequence OF
which funds " interior CenteTs are avail
able and, therefore, trade at some North
western and Western distributing points,
as well as in the interior, has increased.
Mail order houses are doing a record
business in holiday goods.
"One OF the most favorable features
| cleaned from current reports Is that
while unreasonable weather has hereto
! fore initiated against movements OF sea-
sonable fabrics, dealers are ready 10 con-
cede that trade is likely to steadily in
| crease II cold weather continues.
Railway earnings continue irregular
pa ssenger traffic Is light. but Western
| freight lOadings display an increase. Ex-
ports OF cereals and war supply continue
heavy and those OF cotton are growing.
I Coal for domestic use is in better condi-
| tion, hut steam grades are slow.

points. where cotton is being held, ex-

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Dec. IS-Famers throughout the South
Eest have made up their minds that il Is not
matter Of price with foreigners when purchAs-
ing wheat. as they would be willing to pay 10 to
lie above the Heseht levd. According to re-
ports 10 the Modern Miller from many SEC
tions Of the Southwest, the offerings Of wheat
will continue small until much higher prices are
in evidence The manner in which importing cOun-
tries have been absorbing the wheat available shows
they would not hesitate on further uptun in
the price.
Purchases Of wheat By importing countries in all
positions today amounted to l.25o.0O0 bushels Of
thich 800 900 bushels taken at Chicago. Win

Recent efforts TO conduct this sort OF

A good story is told of dog that
one day discovered an organ grinder
monkey seated upon a bank and at
once made a rush for It. The money,
which was attired in jacket and hat.
awaited the onset so undisturbed that
the dog halted within few feet to rec
onnoiter. After awhile the dog seem
ed to recover from his surprise and
was about TO make a spring when the
monkey raised his hand and saluted by
taking off his hat The effect was
magical. The dogs head and tail
dropped, and he sneaked away thor
oughly discounted.
