THE CLOSE OF THE TEAR.
Concise Btatenieut by Bradatreet of a Twelve
Months' Business
New York, Deo. 31. Bradstreet'g to
day Bays: Holiday quiet in general de
mand, unstained activity in indostrial
lineB, particalarly iron and steel, exoep
Uoaally lurae uhipments of goods io
orders, liberal cereal exports and es
pecially heavy dealings in speculative
markets are features oalliojr for notable
mention marked tbe closing weej of the
year. Firmness in price ia also an en
ounraging feature in most staples.
Wheat, though showing a reaction, is
higher on the week on larga export
clearances and other cereals are in
sympathy. Pig iron demand groB
and prices for the product and for steel
rails, steel billets, plates and wire rodn
are all higher on the week, while the
volume of foreign demand for even
finished metal products apparently in
creases as the year draws to a close.
Concisely stated, the reports received
as to the year's business in all section
of the country point to an unprecedented
volume of domestic and export trade,
which is retieoted in bank olearanoes
that break tbe high reoord of 1892. Tbe
general level of prices of staple secur
ities at the close of the year is at the
highest point reached for five years pant.
Riiilroad earnings exoeed all previous
years and finally there was a email uum
ber of failures and lower liabilities th;i
reported in buy year for at least five
years past. These genernl results in the
com try at large have been achieved ton,
notwithstanding the outbrake aud con
elusion of the foreign war, and in spi'e
also, of unfavorable conditions io some
industries, notably textile m.nufB0'nr-
er, which oombined with unfavorable
weather early in the year, and the lowest
prioe for cotton on reoord, exeroised ao
unfavorable iufluenoe. But tbe close of
the year finds an Improvement even in
those directions, and returns as to retail
trade, and pnrtioulnrly holiday business,
Bre strikingly good in all sections. Bst
reports as to distributive trade naturally
oome from tbe grain growing sections of
the country, whioh were tbe first to meet
an improvement resulting from free
foreigh demand lor our oereala, but in
dioations are not wanting tbat this Im
provement is gradually percolating
throughout the entire business oommun
ity BDd coupled with unprecedented ex
port trade in mnnnfactured goods and
tbe fact that we are selling two dollurs
worth abroad for every dollai's wortti
we buy renders possible the gains re
ported in distributive trade of 1H',)8 over
1897, ranging from 10 to 40 per cent
witj likewise good exports from the
manufacturing oentern, exoepting the
textile industries already mentioned
The export trade of the oonntry for th
year, as ab ive (..titrated, is the heaviest

double the imports. Our export trn.e

There were 11,0118 failures in the

Federal Government Has Exonerated
Daniel J. Fry.
Morning Oregouian.
In tho United Statos circuit court of Portland,
in the two cases of the United States, plalutlff,
vs. Daniel J. Fry, defendant, the charges have
been dismissed, and Mr. Fry will have no
further unpleasantness.
In CHch of IheBO cases the delendant Mr. Fry,
was charged with violating the war revenue
act by neglecting to stamp his goods as required
bylaw. Sometime last summer, just after the
act come In force, a deputy Inspector, A. M.
llntler, called at Mr. Fry's drug store, and,
without disclosing who he was, or the nature
of his business, proceeded to go through his
store, and upon being remonstrated with by
A. K. Crosby, the clerk In the store, ho became
angry and threatened to make trouble, and he
forthwith proceeded to do so, and, as a result,
two Informations were filed in the United
Stales couit. As soon as Mr. Fry had an oppor
tunily to do bo lie gave to the United States
district attorney all tlio facts In the case, and
the matter was refeired by tho latter to the
treasury department at Washington, and upon
Investigation, tho treasury officials concluded
that Vr. Fry had not violated the law, and
consequently recommended tho United States
attorney to dismiss thu case. This was prompt
ly done, and on Saturday last John A. Carson,
attorney for Mr Fry, received official uotillca
lion from the United Slates attorney that both
cases hud been dismissed by the court, upon
his motion.
There was never any question of the inno
cence of Mr. Fry, tho entire trouble being
caused by a misuiidei'Hiaudliig, and possibly
tho zeal of tho federal revemio inspector.
