DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Much Improvement in All Lines of Trads,
Mora Especially Holiday Goods.
CONFIDENCE SHOWN IN IRON AND STEEL
Aa Advance la Made la Frlra of Dry
Woods, kit Prodoct la Still
Below rarity wltn
Cotton.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1H.-M. O. Dun A Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
' Business in decidedly better than at any
recent date and the Improvement la not
confined to activity In noli. lay goous, al
though the beet report concern those II nee.
Continued lower temperature not only cum
ulates a lee, nut Jobbers are receiving; sup
plementary orders for seasonable goous,
and collection are more prompt, fiuiia
ing permits Issued durlnK November ex
ceeded the lame month last year, railway
tonnage la heavy, and severnl manufac
turlnK branches are starting Idle machin-
ary. On the othr hand, there la no Improve
ment or the southern cotton industry ana
fuel producer are restricting output.
Confidence la Increasing In the iron and
teel Industry and the feeling; in becoming,
more general that prices will not be mate
rially lower, except poRxlbly In aome de
partment that have not yet participated
In the readjustment. It la encouraging
to find aome Improvement In demand for
PIC Iron, although no extensive tonnage
la expected to be taken until 1904. The
ateel markets have been In a atate of
uncertainty during-, the past week, owing
to the numeroua meetings in progress for
the settlement of price lists and wage
scales. Most producers insisted that new
business would not be accelerated by fur
ther concessions, yet outRlde mills were
offering better terms, notably In the case
of billets. Structural material is grad
ually reviving, contracta for new bridges
and buildings coming forward, and It is
known that much construction work Is
scheduled for earlv in the SDring.
A further advance in tin was secured by
manipulators at Ixtndon. yet there Is no
increase in the legitimate consumption de
mand. Other metals ruled steady.
At last It is possible to chronicle a sub
stantial, advance In Quotations lor cotton
goods, although the market Is still far
below a parity, with current prices for the
raw material, purchases are still restricted
to Immediate requirements.
There Is no Improvement In woolen roods.
Hew England shoe houses have many
orders for delivery next month and only
a small percentage will close for the
usual two weeKs' holiday ijeatner is nrm
and active, while another general advance
In hides is recorded.
Failures this week numbered 829 In trie
TTnlted States, against 267 la.it year, and
In Canada zo, compared witn is a year ago.

News From the Front!
The Befall Grocers' Association Is singularly quiet Now that the battle
moke is clearing let's look at the position they lately assumed. There Is not a
man Jack of them who does not believe In his heart that he has a divine
right to run his own business In his own way, and that it Is bis own affair how
be runs it
These Grocers, as an Association and as individuals, resist Labor Union doc
trines when it touches this delicate point Did not these Grocers, as an Associa
tion and as individuals, denounce the Walters. Teamsters and Laundry Workers'
boycott, last summer? , '
Do thee practice today what they preached thenT Not by a long, long shot. If they
are so willing to force us to break our word ,wlth our customers HOW GOOD
' OULfa THEIR' WORD BET ' ' ' . '
. -If wa allowed tha Retail Grocers' Association and tha Individuals who run It to
ran our business, the chances of. its success (which does mean something to Omaha
' and .tha Great West, -and the Retail Grocers themselves) would have as good a
chance of perraaneancy as a snow man In a Fourth of Jul? parade. -"
They have the presumption to dictate to ua what wa shall do and what wa shall
not do.- They threaten .the Jobbers with a boycott If the jobbers do not boycott us.
SERIOUSLY,' IS IT GOOD FOR THE TOWN? IS IT l'UBLIC SPIRITED? 18
IT AMERICAN? 18 IT BOUND MORALS THAT THEY SHOULD SEEK TO COM
PEL US TO REPUDIATE A VALID, BIN DINQ, LEGAL AND MORAL CONTRACT
entered Into with the Stamp people In good faith?. Is It honest of them to en
deavor to compel us to fool and hood wink our customers and the Public just be
cause we have shown the Publlo tha popular side of Green Trading Stamps, and be
cause our Grocery Department Is the best patronised trading spot In Omaha, and
because the people know that at Bennett's grocery they can rely on absolute purity,
unfailing freshness, strictly honest weights,, and defiance prices? Wa maintain, and
their opposition Is futile and childish, that our cash customers are entitled to a
cash discount on their purchases Just as we and the grocers themselves for that mat
ter are entitled to a fash discount, and get It, and we are determined that our cash
customers shall get this cash dlsoount in the shape of Green Trading Stamps with
very purchase. Now, MR. GROCER. DON'T SCRAP. PLAY BALL!
