MARGINS BOOM.
The Business of the Country For March
Ahead of Any Month ON Record.

The Business of the Country For March
Ahead of Any Month on Record.
NEW YORK, April 6. = In March, 1880
the extraordinary fever of speculation in
products as well as in securities, was the widest
which the country has seen since 1872. II
reached its elimination in March. 1881. Bust.
ness was retarded throughout the country by a
series OF storms floods and obstruction of travel
or transportation. In some of the NOrthw estern
States they were beyond all precedent; yet the
volume of business transacted was greater In
March. 1881 than in March. 1880, by 1872 per cent.
Part of this increase was due to the speculative
activity here early in the month, but exchanges
at twenty two cities outside of New York were
greater in March, 1880 by about SO per cent. This
average price OF cotton, for the month since
March, 1880 of 20 per cent in the average price Of
flour, and II per cent in the average price of
wheat: of per cent. in petroleum, and much
larger proportion in many manufactured products,
among which iron may be especially
mentioned. The decline has been
about 81 per cent. in pig iron: about
per cent. in steel rails Pork products have been
about 80 per cent. higher in March, 1881. than in
March, 1880 but scarcely any other important
class of articles shows an advance. The severe
storms have cut down business at Chicago and
Milwaukee and affected other cities In a less de-
gree, but only five report smaller exchanges than
those of March. 1850. when the boom in business
was at its height
The following shows the amount of exchanges,
both for the month and for the quarter ending

other points having been obtained by telegraph
