NKW YORK,. Dec. 2S.-R. Q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade will tomorrow
ay :
fhrlHtniHH week made a favorable com-
parl.-.m with previous years as to Uie
volume of trade. Retailers rtocks of goodH
have been ao well distributed that there
remains less tlnui tim usual sssortment
for bargain suits. Wholesale business Is
rood for the sea.Hon and collections show
urther Improvement. Jobbers are deliver
ing noring goudi In some lines, adding to
the freight congestion, wnlcn hus not been
relieved except in isolated cases. Manu
facturers romplain of the light receipts
of fuel and raw material, which has re
duced activity Ht many plants, and there Is
also some interruption Decauee or inven
tories and repairs. On the whole, however,
there Is less idle machinery than i cus
tomary at this time. Lack of snow greatly
tiicllltateil building oerHtlons at many
cities and work Is making rupld progress,
although delayed deliveries of materials
retard operations In this Industry also.
High 'prices ure maintained in ail sections
Of the Iron and steel Industry, with all de
partments crowded with work and con
tracts thut run far Into the future. Pres
sure for pig Iron is especially severe, partly
because of railroad blockades. As current
deliveries are Interrupted, there Is a dls-
THK VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is lo
Preervlng Ilealtb and Beauty.
Coats Nothing To Try.
Nearly everybody kuows that charcoal
la the safest and most efficient disinfect,
ant and purifier In nature, but few realist
Its value when taken lulu the human sys
tem fur the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that Hie more you
take of It the better; It Is not a druj at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and Im.
purities always present In the stomach and
Intestines and carrio Usui -out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions or
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion. It whitens the teotb nd
further acts as a natural and eminently
ate cathartic.
it absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bo els; it disin
fects the mouth and luroui from the poi
son of catarrh.
AH druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another, but probably the best cl-ar-coal
and the most for . the money U m
Stuart's Charcoul Loaengvs; they are com
posed of the finest powdered Willow char
coal, and other harmless antiseptics In tab
let form or rather In the form of large,
pleasant tasting loaenges, the charcoal
being mixed with honey.
The dally use of these losenges will aoon
. tell In a much Improved condition of tha
' general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
H la. that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but. on ths contrary
great benefit. '
A Buffalo physician, In speaking 0f the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advlss
etuart a Charcoal Luxenges tj all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and bowels,
and to clear up the complexion nd purify
the breath, mouth and throat; I iso be
lieve the Uver Is greatly benefited with
tue dally use of tn-m; they est but twenty.

though la eome sense a patent preparation,

position to prevent a repetition of this dlf-
ncuity iy placing larger orders for future
delivery. Railway congestion la still most
disturbing to southern furnaces, while best
reports 01 prompt snipment aro reelved
from coke ovens, where an unprecedented
output Is being handled.
Jobbers are not actively engaged In the
primary markets for cotton goods, and no
sales of slse are expected until after In
ventories have been tuk.'n. The feXtui-5 of
the market depends on spring t)UHlnes
equaling the- volume expected from tha
large Initial , demand. Steadiness of raw
cotton Is a' supporting Influence, however.
Few developments have appeared In men's
wear, woolens.' but activity Is anticipated
ufter the holidays. No Interest U at pres
ent shown by purchasers of dress goods.
Wool goods continue to develop a little
fastern than worsteds, indicating that the
trend has probably changed. Prices qf
cotton yarn are higher, prompt deliveries
being so much needed tliHt the ndlls make
higher bios. Prices for packers' hides are
firmly mMntalned and some varieties have
risen still higher. Tanners In ncd of
prompt shipments aro often compelled to
pay a premium. Leather Is quiet, but a
gratifying Improvement is notel In the
demand for upper leather, especially calf
aklns. Most eastern shoe manufacturers
ate making Inventories, little attention be
ing given at present to new contracts.
Narrow holiday markets have prevailed
for the leading staple of the farm, small
changes In prices occurring nnd no de
velopments of significance bring recorded.

With an unparalleled volume of business
for liMKl. Increased by a record hoi. day

terests of the country look forward with
confidence to the developments of 19fJ.

owing to the mills being so well sold

while a cold snap early In the week helned

weather, on the whole, has been too mild
for th fullest devel pment. Money con

are looked fur after the turn of the not

Ihe situation Is somewhat better In s'l-h
sections as the northwest itnd purls of Ihe
Hiiuth.
Vio of the most sljtnlflnnt fcntu'oi In
the entire a'tua'lon Is thst consumers are
apparently convinced of the permanency of
the present high prices, nnd. as ahown be
advance orders, are disposed to order ahead
with liberality and confidence.
