Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say Dun's review is enabled by the kindness of several thousand manufacturers who have for- warded statements of thelr pay rolls for No- vember, this year, in 1893-and in 18%2. to make a very encouraging comparison of earnings for that month, which ahows an Increase in total payments of 15.2 per cent over last year, but a decrease of 18.3 per cent in comparlson with 1892 A statement of hands employed shows that in the same establishments 10.2 per cent more persons were employed than & year ago, but 8.6 per cent less than in 1892. The average of earnings for over 250,000 hands 18 4 per cent larger than in 1863, but 13% per cent less than in 1862, and this statement takes no account of hours ‘of work In the month compared, or of the establishments not working at all in these years. 1In some of the indusiries more hands are at work than in 1592, but in others the de- crease is large. Contradictory changes in business are quite in order at this season. Neither the larger orders in some branches nor the depression of prices in others afford a safe indication of the gen- eral movement. But the working force does not lessen more than usual for the time of a year ago, the demand for goods does not seem to diminish, though in some departments it is con- siderably below the capacity of works in opera- tion and the volume of business transacted is a little larger in comparison with last year than in_November. The speculative markets have advanced a ltt; though reasons are hard to find. Wheat I8 un- changed in price, although western receipts are as large as they were last year and Atlantic exports are §31,205_bushels, against 1,029,000 bushels a year ago. Corn is a fraction weaker, without any important change fn movement, though the receipts continue remarkably large. The heavy receipts of cotton have broken down the price to cents In spite of a strong speculative in- terest looking for some recovery from the low- est point on record. The detailed reports regarding the chief dustries are not altogether encouraging. iron output Increased during the month of No- mber and was 100,720 tons. weekly on Dece 1, against 102,668 on November 1, but se in stocks unsold was 50,419 ton averages 11,700 tons per week, indicating that the increase in production during the month of November was not supported by the demand for products. Accordingly, prices have been de- ining, the general average of articles being 54.9 per cent of the average in October, 1890, 85.7 per cent on the Ist of December. The Pittsburg markets show most weakness, bessemer pig being quoted at $10.15 and Grey forge was offered at § and bar fron selling at 50 cents, but in structural forms the eastern demand {s sufficiently large to cause a slight ad- vance in beams.

NEW YORK, Dec. I4.—Bradstreet's review to- morrow will say: There Is the expected slack- ening In wholesale and jobbing lines customary immediately before the Christmas holidays. With few exceptions sales of Christmas special- ties, notions and fancy grocerles by jobbers and at retall show the only activity in the move- ment of merchandise, and no improvement is expected with the new year. Al the large eastern centers, except Pittsburg and Buffalo, report trade g or dull. The first named re: ported unexpectedly numerous general orders and better demand for fron and steel. Eastern woolen manufacturers have discounted the ex- pected effects of the change in the wool tariff January 1. Philadelphia shoe dealers report trade unexpectedly active. | Throughout the northwest, Including Chicago, Milwaukee, Minne- apolis, S Paul and Duluth, the volume of busi- ness has, With occasional exceptions, been smaller than usual, because of the unseasonable weather. = Citles ~(hroughout the central west and further west report a moderate volume of trade, with no prospect of Improvement this month.

An assistant gencral agent sald that should the bill a law It would undoubtedly have a to throw many out ot the business | originating in would be ap= portioned betw operating In that territory spoke discouragingly of the outlook the theory that the rail- roads would undoubtediy attempt to cone serve revenue as much as possible, and would dispense with as many general agents as possible, putting one man in power to proportion the business. Another assistant general freight agent took an entirely different view and said that he had gone through the pool previous to the erection of the Interstate Commerce coms mission, and saw little to recommend it. “It roads would live up to their agreement abe solutely a pool would be beneficial, but his tory has taught us not to expect too much from railroads. hey are like business houses, which are constantly engrossed in schemes to carry off the bulk of the business. It Is a fact that during the lays of the pool, weak roads were known to give res bates in order to get a little more business, and strong roads were found engaged in the same nefarious business. As for the pooling bill changing existing conditions, 1 doubt it very much. It may have a tendency to hold up rates, but the experience of the past has not demonstrated that this is true and railroads have not changed much sincs the pooling days befora the Interstate Commerce commission. They: are just as eager to secure business and just as ready to cut rates as they ever were, ¥ I can't see any great hope in the pooling bill. As for making changes in the per- sonnel of the several roads, I doubt that, too, although the managers of the roads may eneavor to have the business proportioned, but the success of the past does not justify any great enthusiasm for the future. When competition is as keen as now roads are going to get business, p ol or no pool, and the weak lines will suffer. It has been the history of the past, it will be the story of the future. The large dealer gets the ad- vantages of cut rates and rebates, the small dealer has to pay tarift and is therefore not able to meet the prices of his business rival except at & loss. The big dealers therefors destroy the small dealers just as the big lines encompass the differential lines, Iam not in consequenca any great enthusiast over the passage of the pooling bill.
