Fbat York, Deo. 22.—R. G. Dun & Co ’s Weekly Review of TraOwiy*: "But for the large eaports of un . certainty about Uuanclul legtslatn tt ie Indications would be more encouraging. Some Increase Is seen In orders given to manufacturing uorus. though until the year ends the force actually at work naturally diminishes. The holiday trade has been rather poor at most points, partly owing to mild weather. There Is distinctly more confidence shown about the future demand for Industrial products, though prices are not better. Exports Increase. • Domestic exports increased a little, though exportable staples are not better In price. In November the excess of merchandise exports over .mrorta was W.bU.Sul, besides $2.»S1.0»1 silver, and December returns Indicate as largo an excess. Tor this reason tho exports of lo,38^,071 in gold since last Tnday and tae withdrawals of about three times an much gold from the treasury, are tho more noticed. Money continues to accumulate here, and there Is no enlargement la the legitimate demand tor commercial loans, though some offerings of paper, apparently to prepare for yearly settlements, have excited remark. Wheat, Corn and Cotton. "Prices of agricultural products do not Improve. Wheat is unchanged for the week Corn fell 1 cents for tne week. Cotton has declined a sixteenth, to 5.3M cents, and receipts from plantations continue larger for Decemoer than In isui, whon the crop was over y.oou.uuj bales The theory that producers will nut market at ourrout prices does not at the facts Large orders lor manufactured products have appeared and yet, except In boots and shoes, tne general tendency of prices Is downward. Hold Withdrawals. • The withdrawals of gold from the treasury have been over fcU.tWO.UW since December s, and are attributed lu part to replacement of bank receipts, which were reduced by the purchase of bonds. Yet It is plain that the desire of foreigners to get gold Instead of stocks, slid of Americans to get gold Instead of notes, rapidly takes from the treasury whatever was gained by se.Ung bunds. The failure Record. "Failures have been somewhat more important. the reported liabilities for the second week of December amounting to $c,7U.6o7 and fur two weeks of December the aggregate lias been ft),4.su,A01, of which manufacturing liabilities were tt.4Bd.lH and tho trading 1.abilities 84.u71.Mlg. Jlul lust year the liabilities In failures of the same two weeks were 81 l.e/ii.uut), of which no less than $6 174,494 were of manufacturing and only I5.3ul.7s4 of trading concerns The failures for the past week have been 3tg lu the United States against 3s4 last year, and 3d lu Canada, against >7 last year." As It Appears to Dradstreat. Rradstreet’s says: "The volume of general trade continues small, as expected from evidences of shrinkage within the month. Unusually mild, unseasonable weather continues to check distribution of coal, heavy clothing, shoes and rubber goods north west, south and throughout tho central western and eastern states, although at larger cities the favorable reports us to holiday goods and specialties at retail ure for the great part the outcome of bright, mild weather. "Jobbers and other wholesalers ns a rule report commercial travelers off the road, and that little Is doing except to take account of stock. The outlook fur trade alter tho holidays Is fair, although larger Chicago dealers report stocks on hand larger than expected, except amyug Jewelers, who have unexpected ly enjoyed a heavy trade. "From a dozen of tho more Important western and northwestern trade centers distribution of staples Is reported quiet or moderate in volume except from Cincinnati, where there Is a sllgnt gain. Collections are only fair at Detroit, Omaha and Kansas City, but at Chicago and St. Louis they are more prompt. Demand for funds at Chicago, as at buffalo, has made the market firmer, packers being relatively best borrowers Dealers In' furs and Jobbers In most staples at Detroit. Minneapolis. St. Paul and Milwaukee report that this, the mildest December for many years, has greatly Interfered with trade."

bill and their effect as follows:

I’rovl.lons of tli* New Hill.

1. I urmtiling the deposit of currency certlGcates issued under section 6.19J of revised statute*, to se-ure circulation us well as the deposit* of iettal tender notes and treasury notes These certltlcates represent legal tender notes actually held In the treasure and the effect of depositing certificates Is. therefore the same precisely as to require the> de-

posit of notes.

2. So amending the present law ns to permit state banks to deposit legal tender notes and procure these currency certilleates In the sumo manner that national bunks are now permitted

to do.

3. Disoerstng with the provision which authorizes an assessment upon the national hanks to replenish the safety fund for the redemption of the notes of failed hanks, and. In place of this provision. Insert one providing that the collection of the one-fourth of a cent tax for each half year shall be resumed when the safety fund Is Impaired and continued until tl • safety fund Is restored 4 A uthorlzlng the comptroller of the currency Instead of the banks themselves to deslg Date the agencies at which national bank notes shall be redeemed. The effect of this will be to secure the redemption not only at the office of the tank, but at other places accessible to note holders. 5. Dispense with the provisions compelling existing national banks to withdraw their bond* now on deposit and take out circulation under the new system, and In lieu of that provision Insert one permitting the banks to withdraw their bonds. If they see proper to do so, by depositing lawful money, as now provided by law. and then to take out circulation under the new system If they choose to do so. B. Providing that the notes of failed national banks which are not redeemed on demand at the office of the treasurer of the United States, or any assistant treasurer of the United States, shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, from the date of the suspension of the bunk until thirty day* after public notice has been given that funds are on hand for their redemption. No Obligation on the Government. This Imposes no obligation upon the part of the United States to use its own funds for tho redemptions, as tho safety fund Is in the hands of the treasurer, and he will redeem notes out of that fund. Important Change* Made. Two very important features make their appearance for the first time in the substitute. The main one will have the effet of allowing the national banking system to run along, without an arbitrary provision that banks must organize under tho new system. If national banks wish to contine to hold their United States bonds and issue circulation thereon they may do so. It is felt that they will soon discover the advantages of the new system and will therefore adopt it volun-

tarily.

The other important feature of the substitute is that it does away with the unknown liability of banks to guarantee the notes of all other banks. This feature of the original bill has been muffh criticised. It contemplated that if a national bank failed its notes would be paid out of its assets and the “general safety fund,” made up by all the banks. But if the assets and safety fund were insufficient to pay the notes of the failed bank, then the comptroller of the currency was to make a pro rata assessment on all the banks of the country.

of five counties, is becoming more intense daily, and immediate steps alone can prevent many deaths by starvation. Tliree years ago tlie farmers of these drought-blighted counties raised a very light crop, and the past two years the crops have been almost total failures.

President Nason, of the Nebraska state relief commission, has been forwarded a carefully-prepared report of tlie number of destitute families in the different counties in the state where there was a crop failure. The list is a large one and it will require all tlie assistance that can be procured to keep the people in the most urgent of necessities during the cold winter months. The report as made out by Secretary Ludden is as follows: Custer county. 250 families: Perkins. SOI, Chase, CCS. Dundy, 120; Hitchcock. £60; Red Willow, too. Hayes, £00. Frontier. 40.
