6 RAILROADS SHOW LARGER EARNINGS Impetus in the Iron and Steel Business Is "Reported Close at Hand. NEW YORK, Dec. R. G. Dun weekly review of trade tomorrow will Holiday conditions the.

markets, and most of the exchanges are closed until Monday. Manufacturing plants are stopping for Inventories and repairs in many cases, the extent of idleness being considerably greater, than for the corresponding season in recent preceding years. There has been liberal volume of business in holiday but reports are somewhat in comparison with 1902. An encouraging sign Is the improvement in collections. -7 Railway traffic was not seriously impeded by recent storms, owing to better methods of operation, and earnings thus far reported for December exceed last year's by 6 per cent.

Agreements are being made with little friction as -to wage reductions, except in the case of coal mining, and several idle plants have fixed the date for resuming work. Few labor disputes are in progress and steel producers look for much new business early next month. Engagements of gold were checked by a sharp recovery in exchange, although receipts have raised: treasury gold holdings far above all previous records, and money is unusually easy for the season. Owing to the decrease in speculation, bank exchanges for the week were 16.7 per cent smaller than a year ago at New York, while "at other leading cities there was a gain of per cent Leading interests In 7 the iron and steel Industry brought more stability to the situation by deciding against any further in quotations, and there are numerous indications that prospective purchasers do not intend to delay placing contracts beyond the season of inventories and repairs. Expressions of opinion are heard in many prominent markets that orders will begin to appear about-the middle" of January, and a liberal volume of business will be placed for work to be done early in 1904.

Shoe shops are receiving few new orders and there Is little effort at present to increase activity. Eastern wholesalers are more cautious regarding contracts for spring lines, but; Western jobbers are seeking supplies liberalise. 'conservatism is still the leading characteristic in every department of the cotton goods market. Mills are steadily, curtailing output and find sit impossible to secure advances in finished product commensurate with the rise in raw material. Purchasers of cotton take only for urgent needs and refuse to pay the quotations asked for distant deliveries.

No demand for China is seen, and the export division is doing nothing, prices being well beyond the views of foreign customers. Cotton has again risen above all records for a quarter of a century, and fluctuations of $2.50 a bale in a single session is no longer considered. exceptional, while option trading of a million bales daily is not unusual. Few cash sales are reported and the planters are not receiving $68 for their cotton, yet the mills that have no raw material on hand will be forced to pay the prices or else stop work. Exports have continued on a liberal scale.

Grain moved within narrow limits, no special news appearing other than a new record for wheat reduction in Australia. Prices are firm. Failures this week numbered 284 in the United States, against 209 last year, and 22 in Canada, compared with 21 a year ago. HAD FLESH AND FAME Many Men of Great Mentality Have Been Large of Girth.

thirty worth of telegraphing, for which the government paid, took place between John D. the Standard Oil magnate, and 7 Senator Aldrich during the last to the official report: of the secretary of the senate. It Is presumed the telegram was on official business. The entry is under "miscellaneous items," in the "contingent account of the senate," and is dated 2, 1902.

That's all. The list also shows- that during the time Senator Foraker and "Boss" Cox, of Cincinnati, were not on speaking terms, supposedly, Senator Foraker sent Mr. Cox fourteen telegrams. Senator Beveridge holds the record for telegrams sent From the record it would appear that every time Senator. Fairbanks sent a telegram to Indiana Senator Beveridge rushed to the nearest telegraph office and sent three.

Senators Piatt and Depew either paid for the bulk of their messages or "franked" them. All told these two senators did not send more than twenty telegrams chargeable to i the contingent fund. Senator Hanna and Senator Allison, known to his colleagues as "Pussy Foot." left no telegram trail. Telegraphing is not the only luxury of a the report tells of 200 tons of "best timothy hay for use of United States 7senate." It does not -explain whether this has taken the place of breakfast foods or is for the use of the horses. There is also an Item of "one oak refrigerator and pan for committee, on woman's suffrage." Evidently some senator in the privacy of his committee room is doing light housekeeping, for there appears "for repairing three electric stoves, $4.36." The record does not.

show in what committee rooms the stoves are, but there is an entry for a year's subscription the Ladies' Home Journal furnished C. D. Clark, of Wyoming. The senators exceeded their usual limit in luxuries, for they bought a "Piffard apparatus for static electric machine" for $40 to be used In the barber shop. Although not every senator has i hair on his head, some five dozen hair brushes were bought and paid for out of the contingent fund of the senate, not.

thing li certain about the present season of music. It is going to be a "Parsifal" year. From the yellow brick front of the Metropolitan to the opera houses THE PAUL GLOBE. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1903. talk is only of It is the theme of endless recitals, illustrated lectures and parlor talks that fall alike on the lucky ones who are to hear the opera at the Metropolitan and on those, who will not get nearer than 3,000 miles to the Metropolitan; Missionaries will, of course, go out to these unenlightened thousands and for a consideration try to satisfy their "Parsifal" hunger.

From mere lecturers to organizations including a full orchestra and chorus there is to bean army of Parsifallers in the field. Here the success of everybody who has attempted to do anything connected with the opera has been so great as to indicate that there is a deeper interest in the opera than was supposed. Walter Damrosch. was in the shops buying Christmas presents the other day with a liberality that made one of his friends congratulate him. he murmured with a smile.

"I've been giving 'Parsifal' lectures," arid his friend had drawn enormous audiences to Carnegie hail and the Lyceum theater with the lectures, that he gave on the opera. '7 One of the best known of the local writers on musical subjects gave, a lecture the subject the other; day'and packed the hall in which he appeared as it has rarely been crowded. His share of that afternoon's work amounted to upward of $2,000. He had unluckily bet twice that amount that "Parsifal" would never be given in New York, and he will have to make his first profit out of the series of lectures he is to deliver all over the country at terms which will make his income out of "Parsifal" this season amount to not less than $10,000. All this interest and its resulting profit are, of courser due to the action of Heinrlch Conried in producing this forbidden Work.

Mr. Damrosch may have struggled unsuccessfully against Mr. Conried for the direction of the opera house and lost the fight, but he is nevertheless somewhat of a victor yet, through Mr. Conried's activity 7 he has been enabled this year to earn many dollars which might otherwise never have come his way. I If this same opera had not been selected for the principal event of the season at the Metropolitan opera house there would.have been fewer magazine articles written year.

Old books have been ransacked for photographs of the actors and singers, and forgotten souvenirs of Bayreuth trips have been dragged from their places of desuetude. 7: Half forgotten reminiscences- of long ago, Bayreuth' journeys are warmed over for use and German books on the music are being bought at second-hand and translated anew. 7- And all this is the work of Mr. Conried, to whom the lecturers' should certainly be grateful 1 In the West the "Parsifal" microbe is effective chiefly through the desire to hear the; music played at concerts, as the possibility of hearing the opera is entirely excluded. So in that direction are departing various companies of players and; singers who are going to amuse the public anxious for this music.

Walter Damrosch is to start West with one these I organizations. A conductor from Holland will go with another, and there will "bei in I each organization singers to, render the music of the four, leading roles. It is in this form will most often be presented to the out-of-town public And it is practically certain that the managers who take out these organizations will meet with great success. When Damrosch gave his first concert with the Symphony orchestra at Carnegie hall, the enormous audience present was evidence, if: any were needed, 7of the 7 great interest in the opera. -7-1-77: --y The advance sales for the performances at the opera house were in themselves indication enough of that interest.

Of the Republican candidates nominated in Chicago, Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated.

Thus the last presidential candidate nominated by the Republicans in Chicago and elected, was the second Chicago nominee of the same party to turn over; his party to the The Republican convention which met in Chicago in 1880 had one the most stubborn contests ever held in the country. The candidates before the convention, Grant, Sherman, Windom, Blame and Garfield Windom's death was dramatic, as New Yorkers will remember. Sherman's friends believe to this day that he' was a bitterly disappointed man from the time of his defeat.

connectidn with the parties that have elected their candidates is.that up to the time of the election of: Mr. McKinley each had been in power exactly the same number of times. In accepting, this fact it must be remembered that the term Republican" covers the two terms of Washington and that of John Adams; and the terms of William Henry, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Fillmore were Whig administrations. When Roosevelt shall have the term to which he succeeded, the Re-' publican party will be In the lead by brie administration. Democratic vie president save one has ever, gone to the presidency, and that one was elected.

All of the vice presidents who succeeded to the presidency were Republicans, counting from Lincoln. Harking back to Chicago conventions, the" political student may be interested that the democratic candidates nominated there, two were lawyers and one was a soldier; of the Republicans nominated there were four lawyers and one was a soldier.
