DUN'S REVIEW OF THE WEEK, | Oollee Fairly Good and Holiday Busi- | ness Very Active. | SEASONABLE TRADE UNUSUALLY LARGE. | | | suthern | With the Exception of g Cities Favorable Iteports Come | from All the Buiiness Cen- ters—On Wall Street, few New Youg, Dec. 24, —R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Holiday trado 1s not always a just measure of e prospor. ity of the people, but it is satisfactory to Know that at ponts it Is unusually large this year, though some localities report that itis less than last year. Genaral trado this season is usually light, merchants being engaged in taking wtock, but at many points it 18 reported larger than usual, and even larger than last year. Roports show less complaint a; to collactions and a large trade is in progress. At Pittsburg trade is unusually good in all lines, with iron aud stecl maanfactur ors more hopeful and the glass trade fairly good. At Cleveland the wholesalo trade is good, though the shoe trade is dull, but the holiaay basiness is brisk, exceeding Inst year's work At Chicago salos and collections of “mer- chandise exceed last year's in spite of soft country roads, and the holicay trade is phe nomenal. Itaceipts of wheat,” corn and are double lust vear's, of dressed beof th times Jast year's, the increaso In flour is & third, 1n cured meats a quartar, and in os varley and cattle large, notwithstanding tho complaints of the car famine throughout tho wost. Moncy and zood At Milwaukee open weather and bad roads rotard trado, but the holiday business ox- zeeas last year's though the traders in coun try towns are suffering. At St. Louis mild weather also checks trade, but holiday business is very large and trade'in clothing, shoes and other seasonablo Roods above the averago, and money s easior. At Kansus City holiday trade is vrisk; though the vlockade affects the pts of cattie and grain, trade is fairly healthy. At St Paul in spito of unseasonablo woather, the jobbing trade is good and ratuil trade is active, and at Minneapolis tho cut of lumber for tho year is 450,000,000 feet, tho output of flour for the week, 201,000 burrels against 130,000 for the corresponding woels of last year, and the general feeling 15 ono of confidence. At Omata trade is good thou close. Southern cities report less cheerfuilly, the low prico of cotton causing dullness at Memphis and Galveston and also at Savan- nab. Butat New Orleans business is moro activo ana larger in volume, though catton receipts are heavy and sugar s fairly active, with money n stroug domand. The great industries close the more than usual activity, even the woolen mills laving orders euough to keop them fairly empioyed, and a number have recently started, but none shut down. Cotton manufacturers find a good demand and numerous enlargements of plants aro re ported. Shoe factorias corplain that usual orcers are lacking, and vet they are fairly active. Paper miils are busy and making many additions of machinery and buildings. The iron manufacturers bave vean turnine out more pig than ever boforo, though some worlks stop for the holidays, and the tono of the market is stronger, with rather more do- mand for finished products. Speculation continues moderate, whent having risen 114 cent with sales of 13,000,000 bushels, corn haviag declided 1 cent and oats a traction. Coffée is unchanged, oil 7 to | cont higher and pork unchanged. Cotton has dropped a sixtoonth below 8 cents, with ro- cuipts from plantations excosding last yenr's to date by 550,000 bales. The very large out- put of coal leads operators to expect lower rices P"Eio business failures occurring through- out the country during the last six davs nuwmber 202 as compared with 335 last weelk. For the corresponding weel of last yoar tho figures were most h money is year with WALL STREF Speculation Hus Received an Impatus Phe Market Active and Stronger. New Youk, Dec. 24.—Bradstroet's weokly Wall streot review says: The past week has witnessed & further progress toward tho reatization of that broad and active speculu- tion which for some time past Wall street has confidently expected, and it may still bo said thav the buying is largely professional and that the public has scarcely bugun to take an active interest. At tho same time the, steady adavance of bond quotations and the romarkably neavy trading in that quar- tor could scarcely bave developed without tuo assistauce of the investing public, while in the strong upward movement of stocks und the greatly augmented vol- ume and well distributed character of tho transuctions, thero is ample ovidenco that outsido participation is already growing | apnce. It 1s noticeable that foreign interests, though not inclined to take an active part until after the holidays, have been favorably {mpressed vy the conditions which prevail liere, and have bought moderately, but stead- ily. 'Atthe same time, the genoral coudi tions on which the bullish inclinations are based continue to exert & sustaining infu- euce. The exceptional traftic movement, the phenomonal character of curront railroad earnings and tho ease of the money market are all powerful levers for speculative im- provemeyt. Moreover, one of tho important developments of the week was a rapid do- cline of exchange rates to an extont which renders 1t probuble that gold imports from Burope will again set in on a large Nor were signs wanting that the speculative for which ave actively engaged on the bull side are coustantly voceiving reinforcements, Tho most significant event in this connection was the marked advance in the Gould stocks, headed by Missouri Pacific, which could ouly Lo wterproted as meaning that the interest which coutrols that property is no longer even passively opposed to the general specu- lative inclination. At the same time, some stocks, notavly Northern Pacific preferred, zhich have been under pressuro recovered ground, while Richmond Torminal had a shurp recovery and many of tho graugers and otner leading speoulatives attained tho highest figures they have seen in IS0, So strong is the current that on Wednesday aund Thursday tne prospect of tho market being closed until Monday proauced comparatively few realiz- iug snles, and the murket was sirong and ad- vancing up o the close. One of the princi al happenings of the week did not, how- over, colucide with bullish predictions. When the Lake Shore ouly maintained its 6 per cont rate for the year ana Michigan Cen tral and Cansda Southern increased their dividonds by oniy one-halt of 1 pes cent each, something of a chill was given to tho market, more especiully as the action was ro- wurdod as fatal to uny exagworated increaso i the dividend on New York Central.

S il COOLEY'S OFFIC Colenel Paxton Wants a Court to Oust the Jedge. The attraction in the county court yester- day aftornoon was the case of W, A. Paxton against Jodge Julius S. Cooley, which was brought to dispossess the latter of his offico in the Paxton block. It scems that Cooley induced one Aisch to lease tha rooms for a year, and then ho sub- loased them from Aisch. The latter remainea about threo wesks and then disappeared, leaving the histrionic lawyer in full posses- sion. When the agent tried to collect the second month’s rent he was confronted by Cooley with a receipt from Aisch stating that the amatour tragedian had paid him a year's ront. Of course Cooloy insisted that he bad paid the rent foc a full twelvemonth, aud that he was entitled to a year's possession without any further contribution, whether Aisch showed up again or not. 'Ho conld give no information as to Aisch’s whereabouts, nor as to his future movements. This was not satisfactory to Mr. Paxton, hence the suit. The story with all its variations was poured into the ears of a jury. e DoWitt's Little Eariy Kisers; best littlo Alisfor dyspypsi o, sour stomach, bad breath e S Builders Resoive.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: BRIDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1801. SUBSCRIBERS MUST PAY UP, World's Fair Managers Take Some Very Decidad Stops, SERVING WRITS OF ATTACHMENT. Vigorous Policy Made Nocessary by Large Demanils of Contractors at Jackson Park—Interesting rden City Gossip. Cuicaao Bureav or Tie Brn, Cricaao, 1L, Doo. 24 Tt will be & sorry Chiristmas for many de- linquent subscrivers to the World's fair stock. Nearly 200 exocutious havoe been put in the hands of constables witii instructions to levy on the property of thoso who have not paid up. The constables were told to serve writs of attachment at onco and accept no explanations or promises from the delinquents, This vigorous policy is made necossary by the large demands on Treasurer Seoberger by the coatractors at Jackson park. The funds of the World's fair are lower now than they have been atany time since the first assessment was ordered Treasuror Seeborgor has less thau #00.000 to the credit of the exposition 10 the banks of Chicago, and funds are pour- 1ug out of his oftice ina torrent. Change in the Program. The ceremonies committee has made un im- portant chauge in the program for the dedi- cation of the world's fair buildings in Octo ver, 1 It has decided that the entire pro gram should be given in three days instead of four. ‘“The meaning of this," said Colonel Dick- inson, ‘15 that the exercises will be made more’ attractive than they could possibly liave beon mada had wo adbered to tho four day program. None of the great featuros will bo omitted, and we will simply crowd iuto three days what we expected o do in four.” T ots of Electric Lights. Within a few weaks Chief Burnham will call for bids for all the electric lighting plants at Jackson park. Specifications are now being prepared for tho system. **When the plant is complete at Jackson park," said Electrical sugineer Sargent, “we will have more than twice as many eléctric lights on the ground s are now used in the city of Chicago for all purposes. It will be by all odds the largest piant in the world. We will haye 7.000 electric horse power for arc lights, 12,000 horse power for incandescent lights, and 3,000 horse power for all kinds of wotors that exhibitors expect to install. Railway Build ng of the Year. Tho forthcoming issuo of the Railway Agoe and Nortnwestern Railroader will contain a scatistical roview of the railway construction during 1501, According to the figures given, new track has been luid in forty-three states and territories on 249 lines and branches to an aggregate of 4,163 miles. This increases the raiiway system of the United States to 171,000 miles.” The only portion of the coun- try in which no new track was laid this year are tne states of Delaware, Connecticut, Ne- vuda and Mississippi, the lnst named snow- ing in strong contrast to tho other southern states. The activity has been notablo. The states which added the greatest averago are Pennsylvauia, Georgia, Washington, South Carolina, New York, Montans, Virginia and West Virginia. Repulsed His Aavances. Ida Rutzen, the protty 17-year-old daughter of a farmer at Libertyville, north of this city, was fatally shot vesterday by Tom Dawson, who immediately after killed himself. Daw- son was a deserter from the army and was cemployed by tho girl's father as a farm hand. The tragedy oceurred in a_burn whero Ida had gone to look aftera sick dog. Dawson attempted to turn her caresses to himself.and meeting with poor success, drew a revolver, fired threo bullots into the girl’s head and breast and then killed himself. % Odds and Ends. Dirsctor General Davis and s colaborers express themselves as more than pleased with the makeup of the congressional World's Fair committeo. Itis snid that the alley “L" road on the South Side will now bo completed at once. A number of the citv's wealthiest men, including Marshall Field, . D. Armour, 5! W. Allerton and_others, saw the pos i*ive necessity of the completion of the road at an early date, and they have put their hands 1nto their pockets for money enough to carry forward the work. The road promises to bo in operation by April 1. Referring to the London Bolingbroke club's offer_of u purse of ,000 for Jim Hall and Ted Pritchard to fight for early in Mav, pro- vided the men will post a side stake of per man, Parson Davies, Hall's manager, said that ho was in communication with Richara K. Fox in regard to the matter and would make the match under certan condi- tlons. Ho thought in the first placo the purse should bo larger and then was opposed to placing #2500 a side on the result. Betting at the ringside would bo 100 to 60 on Pritchard, anc he was not disposed to wager #,500 even when others were getting aimost two for their tonoy. He would bet £2,500 on the re- sult at the provailing odds gladly. Western People in Chicago. The following western people are in the city : At the Grand Pacific—F. E. Cunningham, Lincoln; Mrs. K.
