DUN'S ANNUAL TR1DE REVIEW
Tm of 1903 Koublo for EetajTutment of
CiBditiosi of En-ineM.
HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS CAPITALIZED
la Days of Highest Prosperity aeeorl
tles Were Floated Eseesslvely
aal Last Year Was Owe of
Ret reach sseot.
NEW TORK. Jan. l.-Th annual Re
view of Trade of R. O. Dug Co. sayi:
Readjustment is the one word that sums
up tne Industrial and financial hlatory of
the I'nited States during tne year 1!.
I rom the lowest point of dfpression of ls:
3 to the s-nJth of prosper ty and commer
cial activity In LC-a the course of business
was well deflned ana umnterrupied, al
though numeious events Mcuried that
rm calculated to check even this great
momentum.
But five years of expansion In trade and
manufacture brought financial and indus
trial ncfs. The result was the 'building
of biggt r barns.'' the preparation f r more
buairit-iH) than appeared and the cnpltallx
tlon of the hop-s and expectations of the
luture. 'ihe past year has chletly ten oe
voled to retrenchment. Assimilation ot se
rum : --a was only accomplished by tne
drartia rmdy of a per cent reduction In
prlc-rs. Accumulation of Iron and steel
lound a market only with the aid of lower
prices and curtailed production. In the
process of readjustment there were -many
allures the number twing erpeclsliy Urge
In the last quarter. Bmi industries h ive
not shared In the reaction to any appre
ciable extent and this provides an element
of uncertainty regarding the future. But
in many sections of the country and In
numerous walks of life the setback has
reached such proportions that there is rea
son to look for recovery in liM.
In Iron and steel, starting with the heav
iest production on record, the furnace
stocks of pig Iron practically wiped cut. the
year 1SU has brought startling de
velopments. Prices declined and produc
tion was curtails. Labor trouble espe
cially in the building trades, tied up work
on buildings, costing many millions of dol
lars, and cautious investors cancelled manv
plans for work. The decline in quotation's
continued through the fail, but at the re
cent meetings of manufacturers fjrmer
price lists wer reaffirmed and even south
ern foundries declined to accept future con
tract at the lowest figure for pig Iron.
Qoosl Acrlealtsral Year.
Agriculturally the year hsa not fallen
short of expectations. A smaller yield of
rotten was sc. ompanied by mors than an
equivalent rise In prices, while the yield
of cereals was abundant and the live stock
shortage of recent poor corn years was
Tuily made up. Neither com nor nets
equalled the record-breaking crops of 13t'2.
but there was an enormous wheat corp.
part of which was lost because of Inade
quate facilities for handling.
Artificial quotations for meats were dis
slpate4 during the past year, many of ths
decllnea reaching striking amounts and restoring-
the situation to a much more
healthy position, although less profitable
to the grower. Abnormally high prices,
however, curtailed demand, especially for
export, and there was much forced selling
through the maturity of loans.
l ne iaHt two years saw cotton in a
strong position, averaging or 9 cents a
pound for middling uplands In the New
York market. Floods and other climatic
conditions proved adverse and lnjurv by
Insects waa severe, sn that as the season
advanced estimates of the crop were gradu
ally reduced un'll about in.60P.( bules were
generally . anticipated. Meanwhile e-pecu-latora
became octive and prices moved
steadily upward until the highest figures
since 1879 were attained.
Skoea aad Leather.
Hides and leather during the year of H
were rharacterlied by a severe decline In
hide values, which, continuing Into the late
fall, carried prices down to a lower point
in the Chicago market than had been re
ported at any time In several years. Prices
on hales touched the bottom during the
early part of November. Since then rates
have been advancing and the market at
the close of the year was Hlc lower than
two months f revlous. The shoe business
of 199 exceeded In volume thst of any
year of the Industry. More shoes were
made and sold than ever before and this
was rather unexpected, owing to the de
creased activity In most of the other large
trades. It Is estimated that the shipments
of shoes from Boston for 1S0S will exceed
those of r.i by fcO.CWt or 7rm. roo cases, and
up to the last week of 19fi these shipments
slightly exceeded S.OOi'.ono cass for the vear,
which makes the first time that the 6.000,000
mark has been reached and passed.
Textile Fabrics.
In cotton goods the year opened wltb a
fair degree of promise, 'ihete was an av
erage demand irom the bum trade ana a
considerable amount ot business Oolng for
expurt in January Blocks in moat dues
were moderate and In some departments,
sucb as print clotns and heavy brown cot
tons, milis were sold ahead. Prlcea were
low compared with cotton, but were ad
ancing in way to encourage tnanuiactur
ers in hopes of reaching a normal parity
later on. Cotton speculators took a strong
hold of the cotton market and they have
practically dominated the situation at all
times.
In men's wear woolens and worsteds
manufacturers lutve not bad to contend
against such manipulation of raw mater j:
but still have baa to face a high mo: act
for wool wltb no responsive movement In
the prices of finished goods, tin the other
hana prices are in many directions lower
at the close than at the opening of tbe
year.
The silk goods division continues the
story of high priced raw material, unsatis
factory prices of silk fabrics and htavy
curtailment of production. Early In tbe
year a meeting of broad silk manufactur
ers was held at which it was resolvtd to
advance prices of broad silks, but market
conditions were too powerful for their op
eration to bo thus artificially arrested and
short time or total suspension of produc
tion was freely entered upon.
FlBSuaetal Coo'altloas.
Financial conditions were precarious for
a time during IKS. but the season of pres
sure was passed witn light mortality, and
the year closes with less than the custo
mary former stringency rn preparation for
January disbursements. I'nusually htavy
exports of gold were made earlv in the
year, offset by very large Imports during
the autumn. Withdrawal of funds for mov
ing of crops began earlier than usual and
reached very large figures, chiefly because
of the abnormal cotton market.
The readjustment of stock prices that oc
curred during tbe year 11 caused no sen
sational bankruptcies In the stock market.
Prices Dad risen far above ail previous
records during 1S the sixty most active
railroad stocks averaging 1127 at the top
peine The decline was well under way
when the year opened, and It continued
until the same securities rversged te C
There were no sharp breaks sjch as oc
curred during the Northern Pacific In 1OT,
nor was there at) thing of a spasmodic
nature about ths reaction.
CosasaereUI lasolveaey.
Incomplete returns of commercial lnsolv.
encieo during the year 1 J reported by R
O. Dun A Co. show thst 12.UU1 concerns sus
pended, having liabniiles of lUtf.iS33.kjy
These figures compare with final returns
of ll.sli failures for 1117.476.7 in 1"4.
Throughout the early months of the year
there were fewer failures, but always
larger defaulted Indebtedness than In Ii2.
In addition to these figures there was ths
collapse of a few stock companies not prop
erly included under tbe ciasslrtcaiion Into
which these failure statistics ars divided,
notably the I'nrted Stales Shipbuilding
company, although no great setback ha
occurred In business and barking kwses
were actually smaller than In the preceding
year, the larger Increase in commercial
stability Indicates that the progress In the
Industrial world and In distributive trade
has received a very pronounced check.
Labor troubles In Ihe building trades and
abandonment of undertakings also pro
vided sn unususl element calculated to-precipitate
Insolvencies.
Money market preosuro mads extensions

NrTVT TORK. Jan. 1 R. O. Dunn A Co
weekly Review of Trade tomorrow wll
aay:
Violent fluctuations In cotton and un
certainty regarding the situation In the far
east were the only significant factors In
Pfetn" session during uhe holiday
wpe Numerous expressions of confidence
re heard regarding the future, however,
especially at the west and south. Manu
facturing plants have taken a longer va
cation than last year, but many announce
resumption of work on Monday. Textile
mil s are confronted with a lark of proper
proportion between prices of raw mRt.H.i
and finished products and it Is evident that
costs of prodjrtlon must be held down in
some way or much machinery will become
Idle. Transportations are well engage! In
handling grain, live stock, fuel and lumber,
while earnings thus far reported for De
cember exceed the previous year an aver
age of I 4 per cent.
Few new contracts for Iron and steel
are reported, yet the general level of quo
tations is fairly maintained and better con
ditions are expected early In Several
special transactions are reported In billets
and wire rods at concessions, but these do
not affect Uet flciireo.
M'ich. Irreg-u'jirlty snd Inactivity 1 re
ported In the markets for minor' metals,
which are chiefly responsive to speculative
operations at Ixindon. Despite a sharp
break In the foreign market tin closed the
week with a net gain and cormer Is also
stronger because of Increased Interests
abroad. All previous records of footwear
forwarding from Boston were far eclipsed
djrlr.g the pest year and there was even
a more notable Increase In production else
where. Only steadiness ran be recorded as to
Chicago packer -hides, futher advances be
ing checked by the diminution of pur
chases. As to textiles the week has only
augmented unsettled conditions especlslly
as to cotton goods. In response to the rise
of raw material, sellers advanced prlcea.
but buyers exhibited their customsry re
serve regarding new business and the
week's trading remained within a narrow
limit.
In the woolen division, new lines of
overcoatings continue In moderate demand.
Firmness is still the feature In wool.
Jobbing trade In dry goods is seasonably
quiet.
Failures this week numbered 232 In the
United State against 29S last year, and In

BOSTON, Jan. 1. The Commercial Bulle
tin will say Saturday: The wool market
Is steady and firm. Business bas not been
active, but for tbe closing days of the year
sales are quits targe, the demand since
Tuesday being very good. Tight money has
a restraining influence. With any success
In the opening of new heavyweight goods
and with easier money there should b im
provement In the demand early this year.
The mills are carrying comparatively light
stocks, much less than at tne beginning of

The news from foreign markets continues

CATTLE As waa aenerailv anticlnated.
the receipts of cattle this morning wtre
tignt. l acaers ait seemea to oe willing to
take a few cattle and aa a result the mar
ket was quite active and fully steady wlik
yesterday.
The few cars of corn fed steers met with
ready sale at steady to strong crices as
compared with yesterday. There waa noth
ing offered, though, good enough to bring
over 446. The commoner grades sold a a
freely as the good stuff and. in fact, the
short fed cattle have shown the greatest
improvement during, the last two weeks.
Since the low time two weeks ago the
market ha advanced all of t)o)4X)c.
The cow market did not show much
change from yesterday on the average.
idc prices paiu tnougn were very uneven,
so that some sales looked quite a little
higher, while others were no more than
steady. All kinds of cows have Improved
rapidly this week, so that the general mar
ket may be quoted all of a Quarter hlrher
all around.
Bulla were also strong todav and a little
higher for the week. Veal calves though
have shown practically no chanse as thee
are still selling In the same notches they
have for several months past.
There were not enough stockers and feed
ers on sale to make a market. About all
that can be aald la that the demand h
been sufficient to tske everything offered
tnis wees: at steady to strong prlcea. If
anything choice yesrllngs ars a little
higher. Representative sales:

Vie higher, corn WtfV' and oats 'rmc. I'to
vlslons were Tc to if higher.
Wheat ruled strong throughout the en
tire session. Steady cables and small re
ceipts were bun factors t the start and
May opened unchanged to WtiVc higher to
M-vo'Mc. There was good general Inning,
tn roin May and July, ard with only ngnt
offering the market advanced. ReKrts
from various portions of the winter wheat
fields ce.uaed a prehension among shorte.
The fe-llna of uneaaine was caused bv
the warlike news from the east, and argent '
demand soon carried May up to Mc. The j
marset lost nrt or its strength lste In tne
day on realising but the close was firm,
with May at S4V Clearances of wheat

Reports of smaller yield west than ex
pected and relatively higher prices being
paid by feedera, light Interior movement

create a decidedly bullish sentiment In
corn Commiaion houses and shorts lei
In the buying, while Ihe selling was mainly
by professionals. Prices held strong
throughout the day and closed near the
top. Local receipts were 141 cars, none of
contract grade.
There was good buvlng of oats bv bull
leaders on reports that the bulk of the
northwestern crop had been marketed and
that receipts are to fall off. Prices were
strong early, but eased off somewhat as the

higher at 3j3c and ranging between JSC

Smaller receipts of hogs had a stimulating
effect on provisions and price ruled higher.

early and advanced prlcs, but part of the
