NEW YORK, Jan. H.-R. O. Dun Co.'s
"Weekly Review of tomorrow will say:
Trade ' returns ara Irregular, because of
the erratls weather, unsensonanly high
' temperatures restricting sales of heavy
weight wearing apparel at some points,
. while business la must satisfactory In
colder sections. Freight blockades wera re
lieved to some extent, but there la still
much complaint of tardy deliveries. Mer
cantile, collections re also more prompt
In soma aectlona than others, but there la
Unanimity regarding; the. large amount of
forward business on the book of manu
facturing; plants and general confidence In
the future. Building operatlona have been
greatly facilitate at the east by open
weather, maintaining activity In the mar
kets for materials beyond the cuatomary
. lates. Prices of all commodities declined
almost 1 per cent for December. Some
; steel mills are now able to deliver more
promptly, because specifications are less
frequent, especially In - respect to struc-
- tural shapes, and a few plants are rolling
billets In the structural mills, which re
lieves tha pressure very much In that de
partment. Steel bars for reinforced con
crete construction are rapidly becoming a
leading feature, a single contract for 5.000
tona being placed at Chicago. Forward
business In pig Iron Is very heavy at Pitts
burg, orders covering the output of some
furnaces for almost the entire year, prices
varying according to the date of delivery,
but sales are not reported at less than
t-lM to $22, valley furnacea. This strength
la the more remarkable because of the
unprecedented rate Of output, all monthly
. records having been eclipsed In December.
Demand for cotton goods In the primary
markets la somewhat less urgent, but
there Is rto prospect for lower prices In
the near future owing to the abundance of
business on the hooks of the mills. Mills
- are making good profit on present business,
after a long period In which dividends were
irregular, and the Industry Is now In a
most satisfactory position. Improvement
. la noted In woolen goods, considerable busi
ness being accomplished In the men's wear
division, but this movement Is only fairly
started and It Is not yet possible to ascer
tain the exact status of the market.
Strength and steadiness msrk the course
of the market for footwear. Most New
England producers have all the spring
contracts they can conveniently handle
and buyers are numerous In the Host on
. market, taking samples for next fall. Job.
bers and wholesalers report a large distri
bution and tha only adverse news comes
from retailers, who have large stocks of
overshoes and rubber boots because of the
clement weather thus farr Leather Is
, . quiet, but prices are firmly maintained.
Tanners of sole have no surplus stocks on
hand and shoe manufacturers usually buy
freely about the middle of January, which
prevento any weakness In response to tha
preeent dullness.
Higher prlrea have prevailed on the lead
ing commonlty exchanges. In wheat there
: was a natural reaction from the preceding
decline, as the short account took profits,
nnd the recovery was carried still further
. In response to reports from winter wheat
'-.tales that a sharp fall In temperature
threatened much damage from frost be
cause of Insufficient enow covering. In

BRADS TnKKTS REVIEW OF TRADE!
' Cross Carrents Are Kotlced la Whole
sale and Retail Trade.
NEW YORK. Jan. 11. Bradstreets' to
morrow will ay :
f There are some cross currents In trade
wnirn prevent generalisation, but aa a
whole the situation loses little bv comrarl
-son-' Wilh preceding years at this early
v stage t the season. The need of season
able wltthcr la noted throughout tha eoun-
'- try. in Wholesale and lobbing trade spring
season i U'tlvlty is not marked as yet, but
' It Is to be noted that a number of tines
of cottrtX goods have been advanced, that
eastern 1 Ihoe manufacturing centers are
filled with buyers looking around and that
shipments of goods on orders are being
celled for. The western centers also bring
rather more buying from country mer
chants and some liberal purchases of agri
cultural Implements.
In Industrial tine previous activity con
tinues without changes. Borne few lines
of iron and steel, notably structural shapes
and cast Iron pipe, are In less active re
quest, but other finished lines are active
and the market aa a whole Is strong, with
leading authorities making optimistic pre
dictions as to the coming year's trade. Borne
shading of prices on far off deliveries la
shown.
The car shortage question la still acute,
though mild weather helps the railroads.
Kpeclal complaint comes from the north
west, where tha fuel and grain movement Is
checked, from the Pacific coast, where the
supply of fuel is scanty; from Oklahoma,
where building In the new cities and towns
Is affected by inability to get material; from
the cottoh and lumber producing sections,
which complain of the car shortage af
fecting shipments.
The money situation Is easier In a few
centers, notably the southwest, where the
bsnks are reported well supplied with
money, but collections In the northwest
are affect-d by backward grain movement
another example of the cross currents af
fecting trade settlements. As a whole, the
market Is firm and higher than a year ago
at this time. The general situation In the
retail trade Is backward, that some few
lines of wholesale trade seem to be taking
a breathing spell, but that tha heavy Bold
ahead condition In most lines guarantees
a future large turnover.
Leather moves freely on paet ordera.
The situation In raw and manufactured
textiles is very string. Relatively best re
ports as to current trade come from the dry
goods lines. Heavy clothing feels the ruling
effect of mild weather. Dress goods ara in
good shape. Wool markets are very Arm,
In sympathy with foreign markets.
Sugar is without much change, lexcept
that one refinery has cut prices of refined
cent. Coffee has eased slightly, futures
being S(i;!5 points lower on largn movement.

REVENUES SACRIFICED FOR THE WES1
Ckleaara Hears that Aaat Thirty
Eight Thoasaad Dollars Will
Be Last ta Get Fael
to Coasasaers.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11. The Record-Herald
today saya the management of the Harrl
man lines Is paying 132,500 "freight" on
cars In order to get them from the east
Into tha coal fields of Illinois, where they
can be loaded with coal for the west.
This extreme and unusual method was
adopted by the officials here after a wire
consultation with EX II. Harrlman, who
gave hla consent to the expenditure neces
sary to relieve the coal shortage In several
porflona of the west, especially In Kansas
and Nebraska.
Added to the loss In paying freight on
tha cars the Harrlman system will lose at
least 16,000 revenue, and possibly three
times that amount, which It would have
obtained had It permitted Its cars to be
toaded In the east with merchandise or
coal for the territory about Chicago.
- Aa a result of this sacrifice of revenue
66,000 tona of coal soon will be distributed
along the lines of the Union Pacific road
In Kansas and Nebraska. Mora than 250
carloads are en their way now and the re
mainder of I.300 cars will be forwarded at
the rate of fifteen or twenty dally.
The question arose of how to get ths
cara , to the mines without having aome
road ateal them for temporary use enroute.
The management finally decided to ship
them aa freight and la paying 126 for the
delivery of each car.
The Chicago dispatch waa confirmed Fri
day morning by Superintendent Park of
the Union Pacific, who said the payment
of freight was one of the methods tha
Harrlman lines had been taking to relieve
the car situation.
"Up to the present time we have kept
everybody supplied with cara, no matter
what the coat," he said. "We have had
no serious shortage except from the cast.
Aa I understand It new, the coal car situa
tion la easy, but this method of hurrying
the cara back from the eaat will enable
us to turn coal eastward from Rock Springs
to help out the situation In this part of
the country. The car shortage la princi
pally noticeable In Idaho and Montana,
and this order will help relieve ttu) strain
out there. Cara are already coming In
from the east.
"We are now filling all orders for coal
car here and we do not anticipate any
trouble In getting what cara we ne,ed on
thla part of tha line.
"The returning of the cara from the eaat
aa empties will cause considerable finan
cial loss to the roads, but It Is only , an
evidence of the methods the roads have
been ualng, regardless of cost, to relieve
any possible shortage." ,

DERMRG ON COLONIES
German Director 8471 Strength of England
Lies in Colonial Ejttem.
AMERICA IS GAINING TOO MUCH GROUND
Empire is Lostag In Sosth America
4 Mast Save Itself by Develep
Ing Holdings In Sosth
Africa.
BERLIN, 3un. 11 Colonial Director Dern-
burg explained the foundation of Emperor
William's so-called weldtpolltlk (world pol
icy) this afternoon at the convention of the
German Chambers of Commerce. Laying
great stress upon ths colonial enterprise
of Germany and the development of Its
colonies. Herr Dernburg said:
The German colonial Question Is the
question of the future for national labor,
the question of the bread of millions of
Industrial workers and the question of the
employment of German capital in trade,
production and navigation.
In presenting the fscts leading up to these
conclusions, Dernburg said that the Eng
lish speaking nations of the middle of the
eighteenth century numbered 9,000,000, while
the German speaking nations numbered
20.0CO.OUO. Today 130,000,000 spoke English
and only 10,000,000 spoke German. Germany
had lost a position of relative Importance
In the world because It had no colonies
and was dependent more than ever on other
countries for raw materials and food sup
plies. I'alted States Advances.
Herr Dernburg described ths rapid de
velopment of ths United States and Its
Increasing economic Importance and com
mercial Influence throughout the western
hemisphere to the detriment of European
nations. Light and electrical power plants
Id Uracil had passed from German Into
American bands; great mining undertak
ings on the Pacific cosst of South Amer
ica wers In the hands of ths United States;
Japan and the United States were favored
by shorter freight routes and wers thus
gaining on Germany In supplying the Chi
nese market, and ths planters of the
southern states of the United Stales were
trying to arrange for the control of ths
price of cotton, the advance of I cent per
pound meaning an added cost of (0,000,000
marks to ths world's manufacturers.
Ths colonial director discussed In detail
ths probabilities of supplying Germany's
needs, such as cotton, copper, rubber pe
troleum, rice, coffee, oil yielding fruits,
hemp, wool, etc., frosn Its colonies. Vest
Africa, hs said, can send Germany cotton
of ths American grades while East Af
rica produces tha Egyptian qualities. Ths
cotton growers of the Nile valley were al
ready studying ths cotton possibilities of
East Africa because the quality of the
Egyptian product bad deteriorated owing
to ths construction of ths Assuan dam.
Cotton land cost 1 to H W lor two and
half acres In East Africa, compared with
)50 to 160 In Egypt and 130 In Texas
Prof. Orwarburg estimated that the Ger
man colonies were able to produce 2,500,000
bales of cotton. The cotton raised In Togo-
land already sold for 2,cents a pound more
than American cotton.
. As to Mineral.
On tho subject of ths production of copper
Herr Dernburg said that Germany Imported
137, WO, 000 worth of copper yearly. Copper
mines were now being opened at Otavla,
German Southwest Africa, and other de
posits were being Investigated. As to wool.
Director Dernburg said Germany Imported
1(15,000 tons, which can partly be supplied
In German Southwest Africa.
Of oil-producing fruits he said Germany
Imported 142.5o0.0uo worth, of which I1.S7J.
000 worth came from the colonies. German
East Africa alona waa able to supply Ger
many's entire requirements. Ha added:
"Germany Imports 11.600,000 worth of rub
ber from Its colonies, out of the S3i,600,0O0
worth it requires. As ths Americans and
British control alt the principal sources of
supply, the German manufacturers are
compelled to buy through middle men at
Liverpool. Togoland, the Cameroons and
East Africa produce rubber and large plan
tations are being laid out In ths Cameroons
and East Africa."
All the Industrial states, Herr Dernburg
pointed out, were driving to make them
selves Independent In connection with sup
plies of rubber, ss American Interests wers
seeking tq monopolise the market.
PJaee for Europeans.
On the subject of colonisation Herr Dern
burg said tha't while the greater part of
African colonies wers not adapted to colon
isation by Europeans, German Southwest
Africa and the highlands of Bust Africa
contained areas twice as large as Germany
which could be nettled by Europeans and
large areas were also available In the
South sea colonies. The rest of Germany's
colonial possessions must remain so-called
"plantation colonies."
"With the necessary patience and per
sistence," said Director Dernburg, "a great
part of Germany's requirements in raw
materials can be obtained from ks col.
onies. Germany, necessarily, la becoming
an Industrial state, owing to the lack of
agricultural lands.- Hencs It Is necessary
to export part of the goods manufactured.
Our colonies can supply cheap raw ma
terials and Oerman manufacturers and
working people can thus be assured of be
ing sbls to Influence prices throughout the
world as against foreign monopolies and
high tariffs."
Herr Dernburg added that tho Colonies
wers powerful stragetio and practical
weapons when It became necessary to maks
arrangements for other countries for recip
rocal trade In raw materials and finished
products.

NO MORE SHIPS FOR WEST
At Present Paella Sqaadron Will Kt
Bo Strengthened from tho
y Atlantic.
WASHINGTON, Jan. U.-Although the
suggestion has been made that on account
of the weak representation of armed ships
on the Pacific coast several such vessels
should be sent there at once. It was stated
today that the navsl gensral board has no
present Intention of disturbing the plana
made long since for the maneuvers which
are about to begin at Culebra and Guanta
namo. The program of exercises covers a
period of six weeks, during which tlms the
entire Atlantic fleet will undergo rigid
drills and extensive target practice.
It is not improbable, however, that after
the fleet reaches northern waters for tho
usual scraping and minor repairs and Is
ready to be dispersed, some ships of the
heavy armored class may bs sent around
the Horn for station In Pacific waters along
the United States coast. This, It Is said,
can bo accomplished without seriously af
fecting the composition of the Atlantic
fleet, because of the fact that several new
battleships and armored cruisers will bs
commissioned within the next few months
Milch can take the place of tha vessels
withdrawn.
