Weekly Review of TraJe tomorrow will
say:
Trade Is seasonably quiet, except In the
linen affected by weather and tnose em
bracing holiday goods, which are In good
demand. Activity Is especially conspicuous
among footwear Jobbers and retailers.
CummoditL-a sre lower In price, alttiough
a tew Important article, inch aa cotton,
eggs and dairy products, have rlnen eo
stjarply that Dun a Index number on De
cember 1 whs SK1.1B3, against 8i',ZZ5 a month
previous. For the year there la a decline
of about 2 per cent.
Manufacturing conditions are still irreg
ular, the best symptom of the vk being
the steadiness of iron and steel. Textile
mills still find It difficult to secure prices In
proper ratio to the raw material, the vio
lent advance In cotton adding to tne ad
vancement of spinners who have only lim
ited supplies on hand. Light stocks of
hardware maintain prices, but the demand
Is moderate.
Km i I way earnings In three weeks of No
vember were 4i per cent larger than a
year previous. Several encouraging reports
are received regarding the iron and steel
situation. In most cases the proposed re
duction in wages has met witn no opposi
tion and such business as romes forward ia
handled without Interruption. Another
good sign is that the past week has
brought no further reductions in prices.
Steel mills have received several fair con
tracts for structural contracts and railway
supplies. There is an end to the block be
tween buyers and sellers, while in the
trade, there Is a growing confidence that the
new year will bring a fair revival. On the
other hand, the market is decidedly quiet.
The chief event in the export trade was
a shipment of tin plates for Canada. Cot
ton mills have suffered further from the
vh (curlew of raw material, and the -latest
advices have obliterated anv profits secured
by the reduction of wages. Failures this
week, 331, against 258 lust week, l!49 the
preceding week and 204 the corresponding
week last year.

WOOD'S PLACE IS SHAKY
Each 13 Contention in Oaie Corgresi Holds
Extra Session Uitil Mondsj.
MANY OFFICERS WILL DROP A GRADE
Committee of Senate Will Hold Ses
sion Monday to C'onttone Investi
gation and May Examine Uen
eral'a t abon Acroaats.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 I nless there is
an agreement by both houses of congress
to adjourn the present session before noon
Monday, when the regrlar session begins,
all nominations must fail, and If the pres
ent special session ends by limitation, thus
preventing the president from sending re
cess appointments to the senate, all pend
ing recess appointments must terminate
with the convening of congress In Its reg
ular session. These considerations today
furnished the Incentive for a number of
conferences looking to an agreement to ad
journ on Monday, or even tomorrow, In
order to permit the president to send In re
cess appointments.
Friends of General Wood are vitally In
terested and will try to bring about ad
journment by concurrent action. Failure
of action would mean General Wood's re
version to the rank of brigadier general and
have similar effect on the appointments of
17 army officers advanced by reason of
General Wood s promotion, all of whom
have assumed the ranks and pay of their
new appointments In the same manner an
though their nominations had been con
firmed by the senate.
War Department Alarmed.
The situation has also been canvassed at
the War department, and considerable
alarm is felt over the disturbance that will
occur among officers appointed In recess
and whose. rank depends on the promotion
of General Wood and others.
In view of this situation It Is possible that
the administration will suggest sine die ad
journment. One reason given by the lead
ers of the house for not passing a resolu
tion of adjournment would be that It would
be a discourtesy to the president to adjourn
a called session without completing the
work for which It was convened. Mem
bers of the senate say they wrre ready to
adjourn ten days ago, and a resolution of
adjournment would probably have been
sent to the house It It had not been re
ported, and not denied, that the house
wpuld not give consideration to a resolu
tion of adjournment.
The sltuatl6n Is said to be without prece
dent In the senate.
It had been argued in the senate that
If the nomination of Wood failed ef con
firmation through the failure of the sen
ate committee on military affairs to com
plete its hearing of charges against con
firmation, or for other cause, that the
nomination would again be sent to the
senate for action at the regular session.
Nominations ot Appointment.
This program was suggested on the
theory that nominations and recess ap
pointments have tho same effect. An ex
amination of the rules, however, discloses
that a nomination does not carry authority
for the president to clothe the nominee
Vith rank r.nd pay of the office to which
he Is appointed. In the case of a recess
appointment the appointee is given the rank
and pay of the position for which he Is
named, but under the constitution the
commission continues until the end of the
next session of the senate. The last para
graph of section 2, article II, of the con
stitution Is as follows: .
The president shall have power to fill
all vacancies that may happen during the
recess of the senate by granting com
missions that shall expire at the end of
its next session.
It Is argued by senators who have given
serious thought to the Questions, that. Inas
much as "the congress 'shall assemble nt
least once in every year, and such meet
ing shall be on the first Monday In De
cember, unless they shall by law appoint
a different day," (article 1, last paragraph
of section 4), that a recess , must occur
between the termination of the present
extra session and the beginning of the
next session In order to relieve the em
barrassment resultant on failure to con
firm the army nominations referred.
Little Chnnee tor Adjournment.
The merging of the special session Into
the regular session would leave only an
Infinitesimal recess and not sufficient, it Is
feared, for recess appointments to be made.
Both the senate and the house will be
In session tomorrow, but from present ap
pearances neither body cares to take the
liiitlative, and the outcome Is uncertain.
The senate committee on military affairs
will convene Monday at 11 o'clock to resume
its hearing of the Wood case. If the hear
ing should continue until one minute after
12 o'clock the committee would be In the
unique position of Investigating a matter
which was not pending before the senate.
The first witness to be heard on Monday
by the committee will be Colonel Charles 8.
Dichl, assistant general . manager of the
Associated Press. Major James B. Runcle
has been recalled and will be here Monday.
He will be examined concerning the con
tradiction of some of his testimony by Ray
Stannard Baker, the magaxlue writer.
May Investigate Wood's Accounts.
The committee has under consideration
the question of summoning several wit
nesses to testify as to the condition of
General Wood's Santiago accounta for 108.
For thla purpose It la likely that General
Tasker H. Bliss will be recalled and that
subpoenas will be Issued also for N.
Nathan, W, H. Lancashire and Lieutenant
Brooks, all of whom are said to have had
a hand In auditing the accounts.
It Is said that these witnesses will declare
thai when the accounts were first audited
they were found to be In a condition which
was afterward excused by the War depart
ment as justifiable because made following
war, when everything was In a state of
chaos. It Is said that Senator Hanna will
contend that the re-audltlng of General
Wood's accounts furnished a precedent for
the re-audlting of Major Rathbone's ac
counts for the reason that the latter were
prepared under Identical conditions.
Another witness who probably will be
suhpoeiiued for early next week Is M. C.
Kosnes, postofhVe Inspector, who Investi
gated the charges of postal frauds In Cuba
and who is said to have written to J. I.
Brlntow, fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral, making arrangements for the trans
lation of Brlstow's Cuban report Into Span
ish. According to the letter in question, It
la declared that the request for the trans
lation came from Carlos E. Ortii, who pre
sided in the postal trials. It Is the rurpose
of opponents of General Wood to show that
he had a hand In bringing about the trans
lation and that he used his Influence wltb
Judge Ortls.
