Bradstreet's today says: Trade reports from the south are generally good, Atlanta reporting a specially good past trade, and collec tions are, as a rule, good in this sec tion. New Orleans expects a heavy business in spring goods after the turn of the year. Bradstreet's, in tbe review of tLe year's business, cays: Rarely have sanguine commercial and financial hopjs found such ade quate realixstion as they did during toe year of ls&. Linted with an im mens bvsiness, there was with it an advance of staple voiues men com bined have servea to establish toe year as a record breaker, and set up new standards by which succeeding years will be measured. Certainly nothing Lke the general advance in wages of industrial em ployes has been witnessed for many years. A tremendous risa in values has taken place in fully three-fourths of all staples. Taking bank clearings as an index of tbe volume of the general trade and tptcilation, there is no doubt that this year has been eet up a standard of measurement ahicb it will rt quire ex ceptional activity to equal. The railroads of the country have done the heaviest business in their his tory. Tue year's record for failu- is an exceptional one. In any effort to fore cast tbe coming year's business, sight will, of course, not be lost of tbe fact that 1900 will be a presidential year, jet the business community locks for ward to 1900 with almost equally mixed feelings of hope and confidence.
