Remarkable Showing Is Made Notwithstanding Serious Drawbacks. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The annual re- view of American trade, finance and in- | dustry prepared by ‘Bradstreet's and | given publicity to-day’déclarés 1901 to be “a record breaker” among the five suc- ceeding years of . .commercial expansion | enjoyed by the United States. Its pre- eminence, the Review states, was all the more notable because it sufféred from a | combination of happenings that in a nor- mal year would haye proved depressing, if not disastrous. Enumerated in the lat- ter are the machinists” and steel strikes, the stdck panic of May, thé failure of sev- H eral imprudently managed combinations, | the efforts of some combinations, inchud- | ing that in copper, - to fix“prices, the shortage in corn, cotton and oats, and the | @ssassination of - President ~ McKinley. | Summarizing the general situation, the Review says: i Briefly summarized, the 'year has seen | transacted an aggregate of general business as | reflected in bank clearings,. far in excess of | any preceding period; has witnessed stock | speculation, rampant’ beyond .the dreams of old-time brokers, checked and curtailed by one | of the sharpest stock panics {n history and | yet with a remarkable minimum of disturban. of general financial operations; has watch general industry and production grow stemd- fly until new and larger figures were necded to express the outputs of coal, e, iron, steel, | leather, lumber and a multitude of other | branches; has seen the freight transportation | facilities of the country, strained to the break- | ing point, prove Insufficient to handle the vol- ume of business offered, and finally has wit- nessed a volume of hofiday business passing all previous bounds both In quantity and qual- ity and the vastly increased purchasing power of the public in late years, From the stand- point of the present estimates the clearings this year will exceed the highest records of preced ing years by one-fourth. Gross railway earn ings have increased 12 per cent and net re- turns haye gained 16 per cent over the best | preceding year. Big Gain in Bank Clearings. Pigiron production will be not far from one- seventh larger than the heaviest ever before | recorded. Shoe production and shipments and | larger leather production have been apparen Iron production and shipments Were never be- forc equaled. Anthracite coal production will be fully 10 per cent larger than last year and Woolen manufacturing has been helped by low cost of material and good demand for clothing. All the returns are not so favorable. There has been less money In cotton for the South this | vear. The agricultural interest has been fa- vored by heavy. advances in farm products which have done much to counterbalance re- ductions In vleld. Export trade has shown signs of hesitation after vears of steady ad- vance and imports have increased, but mainly In materials intended for domestic manufac- ture, and the margin in favor of exports is stiil’ enormously heavy. The bank clearings are estimated at $118,000,000,000, a_gain of 38 per cent over last vear'and 26 per cent over 1%5. - The | Middle States show the greatest increases | in clearings. The faflures for the vear are placed at 10,885, with aggregate " liabiiities of $130,- | 000,000 and assets of $60,300,000. As to’ this | showing the Review says: This is a gain of 8.6 per cent in numberI over 1900, and of nearly 12 per cent over 183, but back of that year comparisons favor the current ong. Liabilities have not gained rela- | tively so heavily, as shown by the fact that | they are only 2.4 per cent larger this vear than | last and 6.8 larger than in 189, In only three of the past thirteen years, in fact, were liebil ties smaller than they were this year. A | point often lost sight of is that there is a constant accession of new individuals, firms and corporations in business each year, and this | alone furnishes a basis for the recording of numerous unsuccesaful ventures. There are now 172,000 more people in business than there | were a decade ago, an increase of 16 per cent, | but failures have oilly increased 5 per cent in | number during that period and Mabilities are | only 20 per cent larger. A continuing an | favorable feature is the small percentage of | assets to labilitles, It iz only 46.4 per cent | this vear a8 against 47.2 per cent a year ago | and 52 per cent in 1890 and 189S. As to prices the Review says: | Wheat has reached the highest point since 1898; corn and oats are higher than for almost | a decade and other produce has sympathized. | Food products, as a whole, are higher than in the general price boom of 1900, while manu- factures are lower, notable in this respect b ing leather, textiles, coal and coke, naval stores, building materials, chemicals . drugs and miscellaneous products. Imports Gain Slightly. Prices as a whole are § fer cent lower than | February. 1900, and December, IS99, but are | higher than in any year from 1803 until the | third quarter of 1899. . If other products fol- low the iead cf food products, a% is not un- | usual, a further advance.of the former is not unlikely. Iron and steel priees scem to lead | in this latter day advance, but the other metais have broken. away from them, and | copper, lead and tin are yeal gring, the result of fallures of Injudicious attempts at con- trolling produetion. Food prod: , largely im- ported; like coffee :and . sugar, ‘have reached 1lhe low-water mark prides: on' Jarze produc- tion. 2 i | | Tn summarizing the foreign trade the Review declares that lberse‘gi\‘s been a falling off in the 'deémand abroad for ‘American fron, steel'and copper, a loss in profits in_cotton exports, a reduction in the exports of ‘corn aud oats, phenom- | enal wheat shipments ments of animals.and é; ions. Exports are estimated at $1,485,000,000, or ' 1 per cent less l}mn the record of jast| year. This calcufation treats.Porto laco | and Hawali as Amzrtcan territory, As| to imports the ‘Review declare: Imports have ed slghtiy-<they will ag- gregate at least 5,000,000, a gain of 5.5 ‘.‘;gr cent over 1000, leaving the halance of domes- tic exports over Imports not .far from $500.- | 000,000, or the third largest excess fn the | country’s history. I The Review states thai (he activily transportation was unprecedented. The | ;vutluak is treated, in comclusion, as fol- | ows: . Many elements of strength and some of the opposite character present themselves to view. The quletness of export trade, checked by | relatively higher prices here and lack of new | demand ~ abroad, = particularly in Germany, | which country is reported selling fron and | steel products below cost, are obstacles to in- creased shipments by this country. On the cther hand English trade advices are rather | betier and the predicted early Suspension of | hostilities in South Africa and the resumption of large gold shipments from that section are favorable features Pregenting themseives. Eu- rope apparently must buy our wheat and cot- ton freely, but as long as domestic activity in trade, particularly iron ang steel, continues, the need of a_forelgn outlet is not regarded as pressing. 1If only a portion of the high a result of the recent conferences of capital and labor materialize, = - = 5 @ and prosperity will have been powerfully fur- thered. * CZAR ACCEPTS INVITATION TO ATTEND CORONATION ‘Will Visit England if Czarina Is iun Good Health at Time of the Ceremony.

PAUL, Dec. 27.—The Northern. Pa- cific will soon announce a revision of its principal freight tariffs, covering the ter- ritory between St. Paul and the Pacific Coast and establishing lower through rates. Simfilar tariffs will be announced at the same time by the Great Northern. Northern Pacific rate clerks have been at work on the revision for more than two months. It is stated semi-officially that the important feature of the new tariffs will be the removal of discrimina- tions that have gradually grown for sev. eral years, and radical changes, especially in local rates, that will adjust many sub- jects of complaints from shippers. The Lew Great Northern tariffs will be con- structed on smillar lines. Both roads, it is asserted, will make voluntary reduc: tions in rates, based upon the increased earning capacity of their lines and the growth of revenue. —_——— Gales on Newfoundland Coast. ought out the fact that ll"l:‘cr N%nhom Pacific stock | ted in the Oregon Short Line Company.
