DUN s. CO.'S BUSINESS REVIEW.

A Fairly Good Outlook Clouded Only by
Present and Threatened LABOR Troubles.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co., in
their weekly trade review, say: The past
broken week has not been one Of great activity,
and tho year opens with some reaction in most
markets The Reading strike has become more
serious than was expected. The miners COM
mittee claims that 90 900 miners and Is, 600 rail-
road men are out, and though the statement 10
plainly exaggerated as to the railway hands.
the suspension of mining appears to be
nearly as complete in the Reading rs in
the Lehigh regions In spite of December's
large output the stocks at tide are low, and the
stoppage of supplies of coal threate ms to close
some mani featuring works. The bad break in
copper stocks abroad. with quick reaction. was
followed by a heavy failure and panic at Paris.
Oil mounted to 97c on Wednesday, broke sud
denly to 92dc and has since risen again. Pork
and lard declined little, aud cotton six
teenth. Coffee is demoralzed. with no spot
quotations. and loss Of nearly 1c options.
Bre adstuffs have been weaker, though corn is
still a fraction above last weeks prices Stocks
have not advanced.
An increased demand for good bonds appears,
but the share market has bean weakened by
Western wars on rates which spread and grow
more bitter, and by the strike Of Goa! miners
The year opens with fewer failures than
ticipated, and with fair business for the season
at all points reporting. The money market is
generally easier.
Next to the iron industry, which hesitates,
WOODEN manufacture seems to show most uncer-
tainty. Raw material declined abou: cent in
December, and to cents since July, though
coarse wool yields least and the largest decline
has been in fine fleece. Estimates OF the clip
vary widely. Cotton manufacturers exception
ally are prosperous The wlndow-glass business
prospers. with an advance of 80 per cent in
prices last year; the foreign trade continues
large. But for the miners strike and the threats
of the cotton-spinners the outlook would be
more favorable than for many weeks past.

The Farmer as a Wool Grower.

Correspondent Farm and Home.
The real trouble is that few men know how to
manage their focks, or even if they know they
fail to put their knowledge into practice. In
many cases the treatment of focks seems to
indicate that the farmer thinks that sheep like
weeds, will grow without cultivation;
and so they willard be about as valuable as
weeds. Sheep will live on very rough food and
endure good deal of exposure. and certainly
they, get about all they can stand Of both at the
hands of the common farmer. Upon the other
hand no animal will respond more freely to
kind treatment and good food than sheep. But
neglect seems to be the great drawback to the
farmer as wool grower. and because sheep
fail to give returns under such treatment they
pronounced unworthy. The average fleece
does not weigh more than four pounds, and the
average sheep does not yield moIe than fifty
pounds of mutton, and that of an inferior quail
ity. What if by Improvement these heeces
should be raised to ten or even eight pounds
and the growth of mutton to seventy-fve
poundsf The difference in dollars and cents
with some degree of favor upon his focks. be-
sides the pleasure of knowing that he had done
something in the way of progression. Improve
ment is the one thing necessary in our focks.
Not that every farmer should have all thorough
breds. That would not be profitable to all; but
grade up the flock by the selection Of the best
common ewes and the purchase of Thoroughbred
bucks. A few extra dollars invested in good
buck will be returned greatly multiplied in the
ford TO disregard the quality Of the buck he
uses. My experience with sheep has taught me
that they are profitable Where farmers size
their focks according to their farms and facil-
tiles for caring for them they can't fail to reap
reasonable rewards.

but this is in q measure explained by the large
speculative deals that came to grief during the
year, well as to the fact that there was a
heavy increase in the number of new business
enterprises that were la unched.n In prices to-
day there were few fluctuations. Poultry and
butter are firm at quotations, while eggs are
