NEW YOHK, Dec. 7. It. O. Dun Co.'a
weekly review of trale tomorrow will aay:
liower temperature haa gymulatert re
tall trade In aenaonahla ataplr-a, but In
tereat la moat conaplcuoua In holiday aoodj.
Expectations of a record lireukina run for
Christmas areflaltlp are being fully real
ised. Jobbing atul wholesale houxea are
dolus- well for the aeiiaon, but rpporta of
mercantile rnllcrtiona allow much Irregu
larity. Iinprovementa In the promptness
of payments Is expected when the crops
have been more fully marketed and greater
eaae appeara in money rates, which are far
above normal, deepit the fact that the
total amount In circulation exceeds all
recorda. The movement of freight Is re
stricted by Inadequate facilities, causing
much trouble In the Industries. Very little
die machinery la noticed In the factories
and mills, except where the supply of labor
and raw materials la Insufficient, and the
vigorous demand for all commodities la In
dicated by the highest level of prices in
recent years. t
The cfnsliur month of the year In the Iron
nd steel Industry promise fully to maln
laWi the phenomenal rate of progress that
hfcJ been experienced during the autumn,
notwithstanding a further advance In some
quotatlona that might be expected to curtail
operations. Every available plant Is now
actively engaged, except where material
cannot be secured, and the volume of busi
ness looked for next year assures many
new records In I'M, unless some unfore
seen disaster causes extensive cancellation
of orders.
Aniong the large amount of new business
under consideration are contracts for a
large mileage of pipe for oil lines and all
trms of railway equipment.
Textile mills 'are o rating- a large per
centage of the available machinery, al
though the Inadequate supply of labor con
tines to- be a drawback. Even after the
recent reaction In the price of raw ma
torlal, the margin of profits In cotton goods
la sniHll and purchnKers make little effort
to aecure concessions. Prompt deliveries
are practically unavailable. Many of the
cheaper woolens were opened this week at
about the level last heavy weight season.
The disposition of many agents, however.
Is to defer opening of lines until longer.
Strength of the raw material does not
Justify expectations of concessions.
Some improvement Is noticed In the
movement of wheat to primary markets,
but there Is still much complaint from the
Lakotas, where elevators are overflowing
and large quantltlea of grain are in danger
of Injury.
The decline In cotton was carried stlll
further until middling uplands sold at to
per bale less than a year ago. which offset
In value the Increase In quantity sent
abroad. Port receipts continued heavy, but
there was the neutralising In liberal con
sumption by domestic spinners.
Liabilities or commercial failures reported
for November are J11,90,7(C compared with
$M,8G6,798 a year ago.
BRADSTREETS REVIEW OF TRADE
Colder Weather Greatly Stlmalatea
Retail Trade at Moat Points.
NEW YOKK, Dec 7. Bradatreeta to
morrow will say:
Colder weather, combined with the ap
proacn of huliuays, has greatly sliiiiuiaiuu
retail trade ait niot points, and tue out
look favors a record-breuaing Cmisuiiai
trade. In Jobbing and wholesale lines in
ventorying la about due, but u Is note
worthy that trade Is more than ordinary
and brisk for December.
The car shortage continues, though grain
deliveries In the northwest are freer, bu
on the whole the paucity of railway la
ellitlea la seriously aliactlnK many sec
tions and in consequence supplies of coa,
are very low at numerous poiuta, while
some of the foundries In Si. Louis and
Cleveland district nave been compelled to
close down for want of pig Iron.
Manufacturers are butty the country over,
the pressuie being so great as to cauae a
considerable number of plants to wont
night and day. Labor atlll continues
scarce and wage advances are recorded
generally, but the tendency to avoid higher
wages seems to be undergoing continuous
expansion.
Money Is very high In the cities where
the demand Is extensive, but most Intel lor
towns appear to be plentifully supplied,
hence country bankers are seeking commer
cial, paper.
It la
significant that currency Is slow to
return from the Interior. Collections aro
good, all things considered, reports from
the southwest being relatively moat favor
able. All In all, the situation Is very
favorable, except In the South Atlantic
tate where crop returns have been poor,
and In the northwest, where grain de
liveries are backward. In some sections u0
to 70 per cent of the spring wheat crop
still beln In farmers' hands.
Supplies of pig Iron are smaller than
ever and shortage, combined with poor de
liveries by the railways, has caused some
found.-ymen to close down and further
suspensions are not improbable.
In the east mcderute sales of basic pig
Iron for delivery up to the second quarter
of 1907 are reported, while in the west a
carwheel concern has purchased 16.0(H) tons
for th second half of 1907, the basts being
1.2 Go at Chicago.
New business in steel rails Is fair, and.
while den and for structural material la
not active aa earlv In the aeason. some
good sized orders are In sight. Coke is
scarce for prompt delivery and prices arc
higher. Coal la meeting with better sale.
Duns Report on
Dun's report of bank elearlnga for November abow a continued heavy volume of payment
through the banks In all aeatlona of the country, larger than In any preceding November, U tal
axohangea at all eltlea to the United Stataa for the month belog 13,bj. 880.905, an Inereaaecf
It per eenl over the eo responding month last year and 18 per oont. ovar November, 1904,
both periods of exceptional aetlvlty. The Improvement la very well distributed, though It la
relatively greatar at Paottte eoaat eaotera. The email gain at New York City la doe almost
wholly to the much smaller volume of eettlementa through the banks oa aeooant of stock
Market operation. This has little to do with eonamerelal eondltiona, aad the elimination of
the New York City flgurea leavea a much larger paroeotage of gala at all othar eltiea In the
United States, 0.0 per at over laat year and 20.0 par omt greater thaa in November, 1904,
raflaettng more aearly the actual trade dialributlon. Some Irregularity In the returns at some
eltiaa la possibly due to backward eollaetiona. but the altuatioD in this reapeet baa become
better aa the month advanced. Average dally elearinga are larger In November thaa for any
month since the flrst quarter of tbe year, and axeeed the averaga for even that period. Com
pared with laat year the lnoreaae la laaa thaa In preoadlng mouths, due entirely to the
rolativsly smaller gain at New York City in November. Compared with 1904 'he heavy gain
in the months pr-dlog November reflect the depression prior to tbe Presidential Elaotlon
of that year. Bank exooaogea at all eitlaa reporting in different eeotion and avenge daily
flgurea for the year to date are compared below for three years t

In cotton goods the strength of prices la
unabated and all goods are sold from three
to six months ahead. The slxe of the ad
vance In cotton goods, compared with raw
cottons, occasions remark. Higher wages
are still being demanded by operatlvea,
who are Indisposed to accept advancea
offered by manufacturers. In woolen goods
there Is mora strength and a Urge business
,s looked for, while silk fabrics are selling
better. Wheat has shown more life this
week than for some months past. The key
of the situation seems to be better demand
for milling purposes at Minneapolis and
other Interior points, due to the Improve
ment reported in flour demand on export
account.
Most American markets are active, strong
8tid with an advancing tendency. This Is
more especially true of clothing wools.
Qunrter-blood fleeces. Oregon Valley and
territory clothing wools show most activity
at Hoston. Fine wools are also more active
and firmer at Philadelphia. . Carpet wools,
however, are still rather quiet, though
heavier buying Is expected, owing to the
strength of the finished product. American
manufacturers, heretofore buying freely
abroad, are now In domestic markets. All
forelen markets are strong and high prices
are being paid In London and In Australia.

EARLY SHOPPING PROFITABLE
New Plan of Beginning Christmas
Holiday Trnde Brlnga
Good Results.
The efforts of the retailers to Induce peo
ple to do their Christmas shopping early In
the season are meeting with some success.
Almost without exception they are satlafljd
that they began with the first of the month
to display and advertise their Chris.nixs
stocks. The volume of business Is reported
larger than It was for the corresponding
week of last year arid the dealers expect
next week to show even a more marked
I increase.
! "The aeason has started off remarkably
J well and I believe the campaign for early
I shopping will prove successful, " said C. M.
Wilhelm of the Orchurd &. Wilhelm Carpet
company. "The plan of early trading is
satisfactory for the customers, for they are
not so crowded and hurried. It helps tne
merchants, for if they run out of desirable
gooda they will have a chance to get more.
It Is a blessing to the salespeople because
it spreads their heavy work out over a
week or ten days more time."
"I am glad to aee the movement for early
hopping," aald 8. Fredrick Berger. "The
women ought to do their ahopplng before
Chrlatmaa week to lighten the burdens of
the salespeople. If for nothing else."
"Those customers who are coming early
have an advantage In getting to select roin
a complete stock of goods," said Herman
Cohn of the Nebraska Clothlrtg company.
"They also get the best of service from the
aalearoen, who are so overworked later in
the season and unable to care properly for
the trade. We are waiting with Interest to
see whether the entire volume of trade for
the season will be increased by the early
shopping. So far this month the trade has
been better than last year."
"I am sure that the people who come
early this year will be so well satisfied that
they will try It again next year," said J. A.
Bwanaon of the Berg-Swanson company.
"They are getting so much Detter eervlce
than they would get Christmas week."

GERMANS TALK OF MOORS
Alarerlraa Conference Report la Dla
enaaed lu Relchataa; and Sturia
on I'nssage.
BERLIN, Dec. 7. The Reichstag today
discussed the Algeclras convention. For
eign Minister von Tsthlrsky explained that
Germany's position throughout the Moroc
can conference had In view asserting the
fundamental principles of the .sovereignty,
Independence and Integrity of the sultan's
dominions, the political equality of all the
powers there and measures for acqulrln,
the peaceful development of the country
and the protection of the rights of ail for
eigners. Herr Blumenthal, radical, asked how it
could be asserted that the Algeclras con
vention guaranteed the Independence of
the sultan. The question was greeted with
laughter.
It should rather be entitled, according
to Herr Blumenthal, "regulation of the
sultan's Independence."
Herr Blumenthal quoted Chancellor von
Buelow's recent remark: "In Servla we
are Austrian and In Bulgaria Russian,"
adding. "and why not 'In Morocco
French?" That would have been much
the better way to protect German Interest
In Morocco."
At the close of the debate the bill ratify
ing the Algeclras convention passed its
first and second reading.

The first outward sign of Contagious Iilool Poison is a small sore or
blister. As the poisonous virus becomes more firmly entrenched in the blood
a red eruption appears on the body, the mouth and throat ulcerate, the hair
begins to come out, glands ia the neck and groia swell, copper-colored spots
appear on the breast, back, etc., and the unfortunate victim finds himself
diseased from head to foot. Mercury and potash do not cure Contagious
Blood Poison ; they shut the disease up in the system and remove the out
ward symptoms for awhile, but when the treatment is left of! the trouble
returns. Then the system being weakened from the action of these strong
minerals the disease makes more rapid headway than before S S. S. is the
antidote for Contagious Blood Poison. It cures permanently and certainly
by going down into tlwe blood and removing every vestige of the virus. It
is free from all minerals, and while purifying the blood it builds up the entire
system by its fine tonic effects. S. S. S. destroys every particle of the poison
and removes all danger of transmitting it to others. S. S. S. cures Con
tagious Blood Poison because it is a perfect blood purifier. Book with
