DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Temperalnre and Holiday Pur
obuses Stimulated Itctull.
New- York, Nov. 27.—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say:
Seasonable temperature and holiday
purchases stimulated retail trade, mak
ing results more satisfactory during
the past week than at any recent date.
Improvement was most conspicuous in
heavy wearing apparel and kindred
lines that have remained dull because
of the mild weather. Another encour
aging feature was the resumption of
work at many mills, although there Is
much idle machinery, especially in the
textile and iron industries. Thousands
of operatives are idle because of the
shut down at a number of paper mills.
In view of the numerous wage re
ductions, there is noteworthy harmony
between employers and workers, in
dicating that labor leaders appreciate
the necessity of sharing in the read
justment.
Grain shipments increased with the
approaching close of navigation on the
lakes and freight traffic was subjected
to the greatest pressure of the season.
But there is less than the customary
complaint of delay. Railroad earnings
for three w-eeks of November averaged
5.2 per cent, larger than last year.
Textile manufacturing conditions are
without alteration. Colder weather
stimulated retail trade in woolens and
worsteds, but as yet there is no Im
provement In piece goods.
Failures this week numbered 258,
against 213 last year.
Print (Toth Market.
Fall River, Nov. 27.—The sales in the
print cloth market for the w-eek will
not reach over 100.000 pieces. The mar
ket has been devoid of any particular
feature during the week, prices having
remained unchanged and firm on a ba
sis of 3%c for regulars. There are no
concessions reported as having been
made on the part of the seller and In
many cases the manufacturers are pur
suing the same course adopted some
time ago in holding out for better prices
on some special makes, chiefly because
of the unfavorable condition of the raw
cotton market.
—“You are a professional assassin,”
said the prisoner, defiantly.

Friday, Nov. 27.
TURPENTINE —The turpentine mar
ket opened firm at 56c, sales 109 casks,
and closed firm and unchanged, no
sales. The demand was on the
whole satisfactory. The market was
without feature. The stock is now
less than half what It was this time
last year. The statistical position of
turpentine is strong, with the outlook
favorable for the world taking all that
is produced this season at good prices.
Something has been said about the ef
fect of higher prices being to increase
the box cut, and this is being given
some consideration by factors. Re
ceipts, 584 casks, and the exports 6,102
casks.
ROSINS —The rosin market closed
firmed at the prices below, with the
demand all that could be expected.
Opening sales were 510 barrels. Re

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, Nov. 27. —There was very
little activity in stocks to-day. The
end of the week remnant after the hol
iday" offered small Inducement for trad
ers to return to the Stock Exchange
from their Thanksgiving outings be
fore Monday, and there was a small
attendance and languid trading in con
sequence.
The market started off with a bullish
demonstration in Southern Pacific in
continuation of the recent campaign in
that stock. Union Pacific came into
the movement with even greater effect,
owing to the showing in its annual re
port of the heavy indebtedness to it
of the subsidiary company on account
of advances for betterment work. This
movement was Interrupted by the
heavy selling of Pennsylvania and
Reading, which was unexplained in the
current news. The Erie stocks did not
share in the weakness of the Reading
and Pennsylvania; neither did Atchi
son share fully in the strength of the
Pacific, its extreme advance being lim
ited to 44, notwithstanding its showing
of an increase in net earnings for Oc
tober of $335,099. The minor indus
trials were decidedly irregular. Some
of those which suffered most early in
the week, were in eager demand in the
loan crowd, where they commanded a
premium, while shorts bought to cover
contracts. The effort was especially
notable in Locomotive preferred. Re
public Steel preferred, on the other
hand, was forced down an additional 3
points on renewed doubts over the
maintenance of the preferred dividend.
The stock more than recovered its loss
at the close.
The tone of strength developed in
the whole market late in the day was
due to the forecasts of a favorable bank
statement to-morrow. The quiet tone
of the call money market to-day indi
cates that the week's net gain in cash,
most of it having come early in the
week, will figure in to-morrow's bank
statement for the full efTect of the
weekly averages.
The bond market was dull and rather
irregular. Total sales, par value, were
