STATE OF TRADE.

The money market, owing To the release OF
a large amount of capital by the secretary Of
tHe treasury, Is easy. The New York banks
increased their reserves during the week
50, 10000.
The unreasonable weather retarded bust
sincss In many sections OF the country. A
glance al tie bank clearings Of eastern cities
Is a lair index OF the InfavOrab,e condition
OF trade generally. The markets have ruled
stronger owing - the reports OF a short
wheat crop. At Chicago, quotations have
been advanced three and onc-cighth cents
per bushel, and local prices were firm. Corn
began moving more freely from interior
points TO Chicago, where a syndicate Of spec
ulators is holding up the market, and adj
yanced onc-half cent per bushel within the
week. The rise in wheat and corn is likely to
mold out at least to the end 81 the present
month.
Failures In the United States and Canada
aggregated lS9, a decrease Of twenty from
the total OF the preceding week.
Woo! moves very slowly, ahd IN the Eastern
markets prices are unsettled and declining.
s~hearing has been delayed at many points by
the cold and rainy weather, and as yet but
little business has been done I'm new clips ex-
ccrt 10y a few interior mills and country deal
ers. The wooden goods trade continues dull.
Demand for anthracite coal il moeerate. and
ms the mines are being worked to their full
capacity stocks are accumulating, but prices
are generally well maintained. The iron and
steel ira les rule quiet, and there Is general
weakness in prices. The feature OF the week
was a reduction Of g. per ton in the price Of
pig iron by a leading furnace company, which
will probably lead to a general revision Of
values, and may have the effect Of arresting
the competition OF Southern iron in Northern
markets. Interior receipts Of wheat are very
small. Corn is moving more freely to Chi
where IA syndicate Of Spectators con
trolls the market and has further advanced
prices one-half Of a cent per bushel within
the week. Visible stocks OF corn have de-
creased over 1000, 600 bushels last week, al
though the exports continue small. Prices
of hog products again advanced slightly,
Notwithstanding a larger Western packing
and slightly cheaper hogs. The Southern
distribution is large, and exports both
Of meats and lard are liberal and for the
week exceeded the shipments for the CORES
bonding period last year. There has been q
Of speculation in coffee, and prices
have been worked up y to "a OF a cent per
pound on the pretext that the efficiency OF
labor on the Brazilian plantation will be i'm.
