by tbe kindness of several thousand
manufacturers who hae forwarded
statements of their pay rolls tor No-
vember this yenr in 1893 arrf In 1S92
to make a ery encouraging compari
son of earnings for that month which
ahowa an Increase In total pajments
of 16 2 per cent oer last enr but a
decrease of 183 per cent In comparison
with 1S91 A statement of hands ot
ploed shows 4hat In the same estab-
lishments 10 2 per cent mire persona
were employed than a > ear ago but
8 fl per cent less than In 1892 The aver-
age ot earnings for over 2fooo < hands
is 4 per cent larger than In 1893 but
13 13 per cent lees than In lfc92 and
this statement takes no account of
hours of work In the month compared
or of the establishments not work-
ing at all this year In some of tho
Industries more hands are at work than
lit 1S92 but in others the decrease is
large Contradictory changea in busi-
ness are nulto In order at this season
Neither thd Ivger orderl in rent
brandies nor the depression of prices
In others afford n safe Indication of
the general movement But the wnrk
Ing force does not lessen moro thin
usual for the time of the year the de-
mand for goods doea not seem to
diminish though In merchandise de
pigments It la considerably below the
capacity of works In operation ftnd
the olumo of business transacted Is A
little larger In comparison with last

tive markets hao advanced a little
though reasons are hard to find Wheat

ern receipts nro us largo as they wera

ago Corn Is a fraction weaker without

though the receipts continue remark-
ably large The heavy rectlpta cf cot-

Industries are not altogether encour-
aging The Iron output Increased dur-
ing the month of November and was
1C8TG2 tons weekly December 1 against
I62GCG November 1 but the Increase
In the stooks unsold was 50119 ton
which averages 11700 tons A week In-
dicating that the Increas In p nolt

not supported by the demand tor
