2 THE YEAR IN THE BUSINESS WORLD Marvelous Development in M anufactu/irg. IRON AND STEEL IN LEAD Output of Coal and Coke Sut passes Former Records BETTER DE MAND FOR FARM PRODUCTS Though Diought Curtail* d the Corn Crop il Was Not anUnmixrd Evil, Sirce With High Pricts Farmer’s Returns Were larger Than Usual. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Dec. 31.—Dun’s Review will say on January 4: , Most marvellous of all the phenom enal evidences of advancement in busi ness during the year was the progress made in manufacturing. It is impossi ble to be too extravagant in delineating the mqvements of the industrial world. Never in the history of this or any other nation has such development occurred within this space of a twelve-month. The expansion of productive capacity was enormous, the improved methods of work and organization were conspicuous, wise economies were introduced, but more than all other factors that made for perma nent prosperity was the conservative re sistance to price inflation. IRON AND STEEL.—After the reaction of 1900 the level of prices remained de pressed for some months, hut gradually responded to the increasing demand as excessive accumulations were absorbed. From a condition of glut there arose al most a famine, greatly exaggerated by the stubborn strike. Some idea of the changes in size of supplies may be found in the comparison of furnace stocks of pig iron as published in the Iron Age. which amounted to . r i45,663 tons on January 1. The figures steadily dec lined throughout the year until only 223,462 tons were held on December 1. Asjide from the slight fall during the period affected by the stfike there ap pears almost a steady gain in production, closing with the maximum quantity on record. Judging by the amount of busi ness already placed for 1902, the current year’s yield may not unreasonably be expected to surpass seventeen million tons. Output of rails was beyond all records, yet contracts for 1902 already as sure another high water mark of probably three million tons. COAL AND COKE.—AII records of out put for hard and soft coal were surpassed during 1901, despite the scarcity of cars that retarded operations. A feature of great advantage was the expanding ex port movement, which reached more en couraging proportions than in earlier years. In ten months the value of ship ments was $19,087,353, against $17,820,864 the year previous. Coke ovens made a penomenal record, establishing a new high water mark of weekly output at 244,529 tons late in November. THE PRODUCE MARKETS.—WhiIe I£oo was the best year ever experienced by domestic agricultural interests, the opening year of the new century was in many ways more profitable, and the two together have put the farming popula tion in much the most satisfactory posi tion in the nation’s history. Formerly the season of harvesting and crop moving brought heavy borrowing of funds at the cast, but interior conditions have changed to such an extent that western banks are lenders at New York and Chicago, and while there is still a large move ment of money away from (he East dur ing the fall months, it is of funds that were held here for the account of interior correspondents. There is a steady ten dency to enlarge the acreage South in the leading crops, yet supplies do not increase, owing to the better demand both for home consumption and export. HcAt and drouth caused a serious cur tailment of the corn crop, which proved the most important event of the year. While this influence naturally induced an advance in price that practically prohibi ted exports and thus seriously affected foreign commerce, it was by no means an unmixed evil, since the return to growers wa? even larger than in a year of normal production, while the enormous yield of wheat was absorbed by stock feeding and foreign consumers in place of corn. Hence, instead of a low price' for wheat in proportion to the heavy crop, there was maintained an even higher average quotation than in the short crop year preceding. Meats naturally reflected the expen sive position of fodder, and it was grati fying to notice that exports were not ma terially reduced by the 'high level. Cot ton passed a season of wide variations, in the early months attaining the highest price of the decade, but falling back sharply ns the spinning situation was ren dered unfavorable by exorbitant raw material. Crop estimates were also far apart, causing Irregularity and a ten deucy to await more definite informa tion. The outlook grew much more cheerful from the producers point of view when the closing month brought a higher I rice than 8 cents. Expanding crops of jmgar had the effect of lowering prices, while competition of refiners caused a still larger fall in the finished product, to the great benefit of consumers. Petro leum was less fluctuating, the extremes of the year being 6.90 and 7.65 cents for jefined in barrel cargoes. Extensive fields in the South were developed, which tended to hold prices down. Exports of the staple products reached a new high record, notwithstanding the lower average prices of oil anil cotton, and the scarcity of corn. The crop year opened with a new record of wheat and flour exports Headaoho Biliousness, sour stomach, constipa tion and all liver Ills are cured by Hold's Pills The won-irritating cathartic.

BANK RECORDS.—In the year of big things it was natural that new high rec ords should be recorded in deposits and loans. Financing of big syndicate opera tions and unparalleled stock market deal ings combined to raise the total of loans and discounts to $914,623,000 on February 16. against $825,830,600 on September 15, 1900, the top point of that year. On the same date deposits attained their zenith at $1,011,329,000, compared with $914,810,- | 300 on March 4, 1899, the record prior to 1901. At the time of more than a billion deposits the banks only held in actual cash $265,684,700, or $12,852,450 above the 25 per cent, legally required. On March 2, there was a new deposit record of sl,- 012.514,000 but loans did not attain their maximum until March 9, at $918,789,600. PRICE OF SILVER.—The year of 1901, brought almost a uniform decline in sil ver throughout the entire period, culmi nating in sales during December at 24.94 d ir London and 54 cents at New York. It is found that but two months on record, August and September, 1897, found this metal selling as low. At that time the bottom was touched at 23% or about 2c an ounce lower than the low record of 1901. THE MUTUAL LIFE LEADS. Enormous Figure* That Show the Company’s Stability and Strength. (Special to News and Observer.) New York, Dec. 31.—One of the best evidences of the unexampled prosperity of the country as well as of the general movement of business for profitable, per manent, protective and absolutely safe investments, is found in the volume of business done by the great life insurance companies. Nothing nearly approaching it has ever been known, the business of the three leaders, the Mutual, the Equit able and the New York ? .have been very large. The Mutual has written an amount vastly beyond its highest record of other years, and every dollar of it has been on the most carefully selected risks in approved localities and without demoralizing conditions of any kind. The Mutual’s rank as the largest, strongest and most stable life insurance company in the world is still easily maintained. It has returned to policy-holders and reserved or expended in their behalf the enormous sum of over one billion dollars ($1,000,006,000.) No other company in the world has come near to these figures. Schley Writes to the Children. (By the Associated Press.) Cumberland, Md., Dee. 81. —The pupils of the Central High School at Lonacon ing have received a letter from Admiral Schley thanking them for resolutions sent to him. In the course of the letter the admiral said ‘•This tribute of devotion touches a sweet chord of the sympathy and love I hold so closely in my affection for the younger ones who are preparing to take our places in time and turn. My soul goes out to them in their toiling over the tasks they have to accomplish, and in no less degree to the patient instruc tors who so faithfully strive for the best results. I sympathize so much with the students, for I yet remember that in the heyday of my young life my love of study increased in the exact ratio of the square of the distance which separ ated me from study.” Much Livestock Drowned. (By the Associated Press.) Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 31.—Tallos see, where the, great dam of the Mont gomery Water Company is located, is still cut off from all communication. The Tallapoosa river, which separates it from Montgomery, Is a raging torrent and all efforts to cross the stream have failed- Reports from the territory be low the dam indicate that much live stock were drowned. There was no loss to crops, a3 they had been gathered. One of the State farms was in the path of the flood and the superintendent reports that many hogs and cattle were drowned. The branch line of railroad connecting Tallossee with the main line of the Western Railroad of Ala bama is washed out and trains are not running. Senator Berry’s Condition, (By the Associated Press.) Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 31.—Advices from Bentonville today indicate that United States Senator James H. Berry is suffering greatly from the injuries he received two weeks ago at Newburg, Mo., by a fall. The amputated leg that was injured is black from the contusion its entire length and the danger is from erysipelas or other disease arising from the inflammation. It may be a long time before he will be able to take up his Senatorial duties. Populists to Kame State Ticket. (By the Associated Press.) Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 31—At a conference of the executive committee of the Populist party of Georgia and other Populists of the State held here today it was decided to nominate a State ticket in 1902. Also to name a delena tion of fifteen to represent the Populist party of Georgia at the Louisville con vention in April, 1902, which has been called by the “Allied parties.” A resolution was adopted calling for an address to be drafted along the lines of party reform and issued to the people of Georgia- Cattle and Property Destroyed.

ELOK COLLEGE GETS IN ENDOWMENT Os $32,000 Southern Christian Confer ence Raises $12,000 Fund. YESTERDAY THE L“ST DAY Treasurer J. A. Mills Beceived Over SI,OOO During the Day. BANKER PALMER GAVE $20,000 Gift of New Yorker Was Dependent Upon the Collection of $12,000 by Southern Christian Church. Big Gift For Elon College, Elon College is to receive $32,000 as a New Year’s gift. The Southern Christian Conference un dertook last spring the task of raising $12,000 and F. A. Palmer, a wealthy bank er of New York, promised to contribute an additional $20,000 should the sum be. raised. Yesterday was the final limit for the collection cf the $12,000 from the people of the Southern Christian Conference. Banker Palmer's agreement, was that the money should be paid in by January Ist, 1902. "I am sure we will have $12,000,” said Mr. John A. Mills, the treasurer of the fund, yesterdav. “I have received over SI,OOO today and every mail brings in new contributions.” Elon College is the educational institu tion of the Southern Christian church. When the pledge was taken to raise $12,- 000 by Southern Christians for their college there was little doubt but . that the undertaking would be a success. The contributions have come from every Southern State and Alabama has been foremost in contributing to the fund. Banker Palmer, of New York, has given largely to education and is very much interested in the Southern Christian church. His $20,000 donation in addition to the 812.000 subscription fund, will give Elon College a handsome endowment fund. It is an admirable institution and worthy of its New Year gift. ' A FAMOUS CASE RECALLED. Points of Resemblance Between the Crop sej and Cluverious Mysteries- The case of Nell Cropsey, of Eliza beth City, N. C., says the Richmond Dis patch, presents some resemblances to that "of Fannie Lillian Madison, whose death occurred in Richmond in March, 1885; but they are by no means “on all fours.” Lillian Madison was 22 years of age; Miss Cropsey was but 18. The post mortem upon the body of the latter vin dicated her chastity; but that upon the body of the former had quite a different result. Each girl went into, or was thrown into the water hatless; in neither instance was the clothing of the deceased disarranged. Upon the head of each was a dark bruise; but neither skull was fractured, though a blood vessel of Lil lian Madison’s was broken. In the Madison case the blow (whether from accident or violence) was over one eye; in the Cropsey case it was on the left temple, causing a dark discoloration. The brain was not injured. On the other hand, Lillian Madison’s brain “was” in jured. Yet she must have been alive, though possibly insensible, when she touched the water, for in her clenched hand was found cakes of mud that she had grasped from the sloping side of the Old Reservoir, where her dead body was found. Lillian Madison had been in the water but twelve hours; Nell Cropsey had been in the water five weeks. Water was found in the lungs, but not in the stom ach of Lillian Madison. There was none present either in the lungs or stomach of Nell Cropsey; at least we have seen it so stated. But whether water was there or not does not “prove” there was no drowning, so many are the exceptions to the general rule noted in the books. It seems unsettled whether Nell Crop sey was first killed and then thrown into the water, or was shoved in, or whether she jumped in of her own motion. Like questions arose in the Madison case; but the theory of the prosecutioi# was that Lillian was stunned by a blow from her perfidious lover, Tommie Cluv erius .and was by him then tossed over the low picket fence which separated the water in the reservoir from the gravel walk around it. The prosecution prevailed in the courts, and Cluverius was hanged in January, 1887. He never gave any satisfactory account of his whereabouts on the night of Lillian's death; was stolid from first to last, and never confessed. However, it has been said that in the privacy of his cell, just before his execution, he quite significantly got the attending min ister to read to him the Fifty-first Psalm. Cluverius ever denied that he was with Lillian at any time on the fatal night. Neither he nor she was a resident, of Richmond. They came here on that oc casion by appointment and from differ ent counties. Wilcox admits that he was with Nell Cropsey on the night when she was last seen alive. His story is that he left her crying because he had strenuously objected to her going on a visit to her relatives in Brooklyn, N. Y. Building Permits Last Month.

Minneapolis, Dee. 31. —Judge William Loohren, of the United States Circuit Court, today dissolved the temporary injunction issued in the case of Peter Power against the Northern Pacific Railway Company by Judge Elliott, of the District Court of Hennepin county, Monday. After the decision was made orally by Judge Lochren at the close of a day’s argument by the attorneys for both sides, an effort was made by the plain tiff's attorneys to have the court fix the amount of bond which would be re quired in order to appeal from the de cision and to stay all further proceed ings in the lower court pending the appeal. Judge Lochren refused to allow a supersedeas bond in any amount to be given- Judge Lochren held that the Northern Pacific was acting within the authority of its charter, of the contract entered into between it and its stockholders as incorporated in the certificates of pre fered stock and the agreement entered into November 13 in attempting to re tire the $75,000,000 of preferred stock, in the manner alleged by Mr. Power. He also held that railroad corpora tions could not do indirectly what the law prevented them from doing directly and that any method, by which consoli dation of two or more competing and parallel lines would be brought about, would be illegal and a writ of injunc tion would lie to restrain the consum mation of the plan- But that there was nothing in the case as presented to him that would indicate the stockholders of the Northern Pacific Railway Company were attempting such a consolidation- Mr. Power’s attorneys tonight author ized the statement that the fight had just commenced and that they would ap peal to the United States Supreme court. STATES TbfTglt THE RAILROADS The Northwestern Common wealths Agree on Plan to Kill Consolidation. (By the Associated Press.) Helena, Mont., Dec. 31.—A definite plan of action to defeat the proposed con solidation of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington railway sys tems, was unanimously agreed upon to day by the Governors and attorney gen erals of seven Northwestern States, in which these roads have mileage. Legal action will be immediately instituted in Minnesota courts with this object in view, and to quote Attorney General Douglas of Minnesota, “the thing will be fought to a finish.” Just how, when or where these suits will be brought, neither Governor Van Sant, of Minnesota, nor Attorney General Douglas would state. The conference adjourned late this afternoon after adopt ing resolutions condemning the proposed merger as contrary to sound public policy, and pledging support to any prop er legal action, which may be brought to test its validity Other resolutions were adopted calling on Congress to in vestigate the subject and favor the grant ing of power to the Inter-State Commerce Commission to fix maximum rates upon inter-State business. MONEY IN TOBACCO. Fine Prices Thi Year May Result in Misfor tune For NextTYear. “The good prices that tobacco has com manded this year may be unfortunate in the long end,” said Mr. J. Bryan Grimes yesterday. “The farming classes are wild over tobacco in the east as a re sult of the fine prices realized, and there is a disposition to plant for an unusually large crop.” “The farmers of Martin, Pitt and Beaufort who raised tobacco this year have made good money,” said Mr. Grimes yesterday. “The crop in those counties was unusually fine and the yield will approximate fifteen million pounds. It has been the main money crop for our farmers. I should say that very nearly all the tobacco raised in that section has been sold. The farm ers realized good prices and were wil ling to bell. The prices of last year were more than doubled in a great many instances. In Martin county a number of farms were purchased on time. I am informed that farmers who pur chased their farms on time last year have not only paid the purchase price, rent year as well.” rent year as well. Miner’s Theatre Burned. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Dec. 31. —Miner’s Eighth Avenue Theatre was destroyed by fire early this mornipg. The “Merry Maidens” burlesque show had just given a long performance and the audience had been out of the building only about fifteen min utes when the fire started. It was caused by a lighted cigarette. The theatre building was old and four stories high. After the fire started the chorus girls and employes of the theatre fled to the street in a panic. It is be lieved they all got out safely. The fire spread with amazing rapidity. From the theatre building it jumped to two three story dwellings cn Twenty-sixth street. At an early hour this morning it was im possible to say to what extent they would be damaged. The loss as cow estimated will be $200,- 000. So far as is known no one was hurt. The condition of President John F. Pidcock, of the Georgia Northern Rail road, who is ill at White House, N. J., is still extremely critical. Dr. Hedges, a specialist, said yesterday there is no very great hope of recovery.

THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING In the Churches There Are Services of Prayer and Song, the Worshippers Watching Out the Old Year to Welcome in the New, (By the Associated Press.) * New York, Dec. 31.—With services of and sons, with tolling of bells and ringing of chimes, with the blare of thousands of horns and the sharp crack of revolver and pistol shots with the screeching of whistles and cries from the throats of thousands the old year was bade farewell and the New Year welcomed last rflfinight- Watchnight was held in many of the churches throughout Greater New York and many chimes rang their farewell to the old year.and greetings to the new, Roman Catholic churches did not mark the passing of the year by midnight masses as was done last year, the ser vice then having been directed by the Pope because of the advent of a new century. Old Trinity and its chimes were the principal magnet for the horn blowing crowd in the down town portion of the city. Thousands gathered about the his toric old church. The scenes about Grace church and in Herald Square were similar ones. The din, too, in the Tenderloin early in the evening was terrific. But the noise and confusion that broke loose from steam whistles to horns on the stroke of mid night was the climax of the celebration. Will tha Four Burglars Hang? It is understood that an appeal will be made to the Governor for executive clemency in behalf of the four burglars in Buncombe county who were sen tenced to be hanged and whom the Su preme Court declined to grant a new trial. Judge Douglass dissented as to two of the burglars, who were on the outside of the building. The chances for executive clemency are more in their favor than as to the other two men.
