Favorable Showing of Wages Paid nntl Men Employed Compared with 1H03. NEW YORK , Dec. 14. R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trnde tomorrow will say : Dun's review Is enabled by the kindness of evernl thousand manufacturers who have for- ivarded stalcmenls of their pay rolls for No- rember , this year , in 1893-and In 1892. to moke a rery encouraging comparison of earnings for hat month , which Jhowo an Increase In total payments of 15.2 per cent over last year , but n ilecrense of 18.3 per cent In comparison with (892. ( A statement of hnnds employed shows hat In the same establishments 10.2 per cenl more persons were employed than a > year ago , but 8.C per cent less than In 1892. The average of earnings for over 250,000 hands Is 4 per cent 'arger thnn In 1893 , but 13 j per cent less than n 1892 , nnd this statement takes no account ol hours of work In the monlh compared , or ol Ihe eslabllshmenla not working at all In these years. In some of the Industries more hnnds are at work than In 1892 , but In others the de crease Is large. Contradlclory changes In business are qulle In order nt this Reason. Neither the larger orders 'n some branches nor the depression of prices n olhem nfford a safe Indlcallon of Ihe gen eral movemenl. IJut the worWng force does not lessen more than usual for the time of a year ago , the demand for goods does not seem tc diminish , though In some departments It Is con- sldeinbly below the capacity of works In opera- 'Ion and the volume of business transacted Is n Ittle larger In comparison with last year than n November , The speculative markets have advanced n little though reasons nro hard to find. Wheat Is un changed In price , although western receipts nr < as large as they were last year nnd Atlnnllc exports are 831,205 bushels , against 1,029,000 busheli a year ago. Corn Is a fraction weaker , wlthou any Important change in movement- though th < recelpls conllnuo remarkably large. The heavj receipts of cotton have broken down the prlci to 5.73 cents In spile of a strong speculative In terest looking foi ome recovery from the low est point on record. The detailed reports regarding the chief in ilustrles are nol nllogelher encouraging. Thi Iron oulput Incrensed during Ihe rnonlh of No vember and wn 1C0.720 tons , weekly on Decem ber 1. against 162,666 on November 1 , but Ihi Increase In slocks unsold was 60,419 tons , whlcl averages 11,700 tons per week , 'Indicating tha the Increase In producllon during Ihe month o November wns not supported by the demanc for products. Accordingly , prices have been de cllnlng , the general average of articles belm only 64.9 per cent of the average In October , 189C ngalnst 65.7 per cent on the 1st of December The Pltlsburg markets show most weakness bessemcr pig being ouoled at J10.15 nnd Ore ; forgn wns offered nt J9.30 , nnd bnr iron selllni nt 90 cents , but In structural forms the easier ! demnnd is sulllclenlly large to cause a slight nd vnnco In benms. The minor metnls nre slrongcr though appaiently for speculative reasons only The texllle manufacturers nre , on the whole weaker , though sales of wool for Iho pasl week In part for speculative purposes , have been large than one year or two years ago , nnd for the tw weeks of December have been 9,610,200 pounds agalnsl 7,837,200 pounds last year nnd 10,628,00 pounds In 1892. The orders * for spring woolen do not mnterlally Increase , but the current de mnnd for Immediate delivery continues unusual ! large. Cotton goods nro demoralized by eom reduction nnd by Ihe nnnouncement of a grea auction rale of 27,000 pieces by 111 IBS , Fabyan t Co. , nnd the Irregularity In Blnples Increases while print clolhs are slrady. Failures for Ihe past week have been 349 I the United States , ngalnst 339 last yeur and fort. In Canada , ngalnst forty last year. nilADSTUEKT'S TRADI3 IlEVIEW.

The nKagementH of RoUl for shipment to Eu- ope were rtlso large , aggregating J3,80,000 , ut the opinion of the street Is that the movement Is not In nny way responsible for lie depression. In the share speculation. This view of the situation Is carried out by lie course of yesterday's market , which vns characterized by higher prices , while t was fully well understood that the ex- ortntlon of cold on Saturday would be be- ween $3,000,000 nnd J4,000,000. London was a seller nnd buyer , but only In moderate mounts , nnd the trading for this account Id not affect the market generally. At the penlng the prices showed but little change rom yesterday , the tone of speculation > lng ilrm. A slight advance was made In he early dealings , but the temper of the narket changed quickly nnd u period of de- ircsslon set In which continued up to 1 'clock nnd In which the specialties alone ailed to participate. Between 1 nnd 2 "clock the market was firm and partial re- : overles were made , but during the last lour trading was very Irregular nnd the lose was barely steady. Compared with yesterday the final quotations In the active 1st show a fractional decline. Trading In he bond market was of a firm character luting the day on a moderate volume of business. Oregon Cs , trust receipts , were In demand , and the sal ° s of this security ag gregated $189,000. Atchlson 4s were dealt In o the extent of $105OJO. The total for the ay was $1,589,000. The Evening Post's London cable says : The stock markets were quiet but very llrm oday , especially for gilt-edged stocks , on he belief of prolonged ease in money. Mln- ng shares were rampant , The Paris In vestments In these' were enormous. Amerl- ans still tend to Improve , and although no peclflc animation Is expected the belief Is gain expressed that the worst Is passed , t Is said that the gold coming from New York on Saturday Is the beginning of con- Iderablo exports of like amounts.

The cattle mnrket was In very good shape. ) n account of the continued light supply he local killers have not been surfeited , vhllo the same Btnto of affalra existing nt 'astern ' points enables speculative shippers 0 nnd an outlet In that direction. That vns the condition of business today. Offcr- ngs were moderate In quantity and fair In quality , while the demnnd was as good ns t has been any time recently. Tidy fat entile , not too heavy-were what nil classes of buyers wcro looking for , nnd these sold eadlly nt strong prices , while It was possl- > le to rcullzo fully steady figures on nny- hlng nt all useful In the beef line. There vas a free movement , and a good clearance was made by nocn. The same strength nnd activity that char acterized the fat cattle market made bttal- tess lively In butchers' nnd canners' stock. Supplies were limited and killers all wanted some choice stock , which sold sharply ilKher , a fancy bunch of heifers bringing 3.90 and some fat cows $1. The common ind canning grades ruled about steady. There was a slightly better demand and a silently stronger mnrket for veal calves , and all grades of bulls , stags and oxen , met with a readier sale than on yesterday and generally at llrmer figures. Business was brisk In stcckers nnd feeders. The stocks were comparatively light , nnd there was a long line of buyers In the yard. Prices ruled a shade llrmer all around , and salable feeding steers are soli ng 15c to 20o higher than a week ago. Rep resentative sales : DRESSED DEEF. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

TALK ON THE POOLING BILL What Local Freight Agents Have to Buy About the Matter , DIFFERENCES OF OPINION EXPRESSED Some Itnllro.nl Alrti Thlntc It Ulll Hurt the lloniln , Wlillo Others llclloro It U'lll Ho llencllclnl to Them Indlrltlail Notions. Tliero arc tunny opinions among railroad nen relative to the merits of the pooling . 111 which recently passed the liouso ol representatives and has been transferred to the senate for similar action. An assistant general freight agent snIJ that should the bill become n law It would undoubtedly have a. tendency to throw many men out of employment , ns the business originating In any territory would bo np- liortloned between the roads operating In that territory. Ho spoUo dlscouraglngly of the outlook upon the theory that the rail roads would undoubtedly attempt to con serve revenue as much ns possible , nnd would dispense with as many general agents as possible , putting or.o man In power to proportion the business. Another assistant genural freight agent ook an entirely different view and said that ho liad gone through the pool previous to the erection of the Interstate Commerce com mission , and saw little to recommend It. "It roads would live up to their agreement ab solutely a pool would be beneficial , but his tory has taught us not to expect too much from railroads. They arc like business houses , which arc constantly engrossed In schemes to carry off the bulk of the business. It Is a fact that during the Jays of the l > eel , weak roads were known to give re bates In order to get n little more business , and strong roads were found engaged In the Bamo nefarious business. As for the pooling bill changing existing conditions , I doubt It very much. It may have n tendency to hold up rates , but the experience of the past has not demonstrated that this Is true and railroads have not changed much slnca the pooling days before the Interstate Commerce commission. They , nro just as eager to secure business anil just as ready to cut rates as they ever were , SD 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 , to ; > , although the managers of the roads may cneavor 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 tbo weak lines will suffer. U has been the history of the past , It will be the story ot the future. The largo dealer gets the ad vantages of cut rates and rebates , the small dealer has to pay tariff nnd Is therefore not nblo to meet the prices cf his business rival except at a loss. The big dealers therefore destroy the email dealers just as the big lines encompass the differential lines. I am not In consequenca any great enthusiast over the passage of tha tooling bill. U will probably tend to do good , jut not to the extent the railroad managers so fondly anticipate. " KniiFits City Miirlretn. KANSAS CITY. Dec. II. WHEAT Steady ; No. 2 hard , D2o : No. 2 led.
