WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
ANOTHER lNsTALLMENT OF DuN's
BUSINESS SERIAL.

Crops Backward, Buyers Cautious, I'm
ports Above Exports, Collections Slow,
Production Checked, Altogether Great
ing a Temporary Period of Inactivity.
New YORK, May 10.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say: In
spite of the Astounding and ~unconquera-
BILE vitality of the country, periods of
temporary hesitation or reaction are in
evitable, and one has apparently been
reached. But for the movement of for
eign capital this way to pay for bonds
n stocks, a heavy outgo of gold would
be required to meet the excess of i'm
ports over experts. The success in bor-
rowing foreign money to pay for exports
makes the market for security strong,
and money here is superintendent. but
meanwhile collections at an number of
points in the interior are slow. The a u
ton Of buyers checks production in inn
portant industries, and crop prospects are
not f1attering. For the time the ten
dency is toward a decrease in production.
Later reports as to wheat lave but
slightly modified the impressions given
by the bureau in it's May statement.
Present indications do not warrant ex-
p%ectation of a yield much exceeding
400, 10000 bushels, which, with the sur
plus carried over would not permit ex-
ports much exceeding loo, 600, 600 bush
els, or 53, 600, 900 bushels less han last
year.
An important change in many direc-
tlons is the shrinkage in house building,
which appears at many points 80 to SO
per cent. below last years record.
The decrease in railroad building af-
fects other branches of industry. The
weakness in iron has been recognized in
a reduction of the contract price for
Thomas No 1 pig to S1S, which, is expected
to cause a nu1nber Of furnaces to suspend
operations. No change is noted in rails,
but bar iron is quoted a shade lower.
The competition of southern furnaces in
q time of shrinking demand is now i'm
portant.
The dry goods market has not ma
terially changed. Restricted and band
to-mouth dealings are the rule. 1t is
complained that the retail trade in some
parts of the country is backward, as is
natural When crops and crop prospects
are unsatisfactory. Dress goods are
quiet, but some worsted mills about
Philadelphia are expected TO close for a
time, and prices of wool average a
shade lower than in May.
The caution of buyers is still felt in
the boot and hoe trade, which is not en-
tirely satisfactory, though it is said that
prices are a little sitter.
The output of anthracite coal was &c.
1856 tons smaller in April than last year,
but the stocks on miaiG INCREASED during
the month 267, 605 tons, indicating a de-
creased consumption.
The exchanges of all clearing houses
were about 2 per cent. smaller last week
than for the same week in 1887.
Failures for the week: United States.
161; Canada, 26-total, 167-compared
with 200 last week and $50 for the sam
week last year.

SEATTLE, Wyo., May 19.--The Seattle,

pany entered into a contract with the
millionaire contracting firm OF RYAN 81
Mcdonald of New York through their
representatives, for the construction OF

ed within W years from date, which
will compel the contractors to employ an
army of men, and to build from both
ends of the line. The cost of this new
section is placed at $4,000, 900. The
country to be traversed is extremely rich

planned the social for the purpose of n
sugurating the good byes'' which will
precede the final adieux on the afternoon
OF graduation. With this object in
view, q hundred, or about that many !,
students, ex-students and professors were
gathered together and the evening was
pleasant, to say the least. BY way of
entertainment the guests sat for half an
hour quietly chatting. The guests we're
then seated end light refreshments
served and following this feature came
responses to toasts. Miss Jean Walker
presided and she called upon the speak
ers in the following order:
b. d. Disbrow responded briefly but
appropriately to "Picnlcs."
Prof. Swain, who had not been in
formed that he wa to speak. was next
called upon. No particular subject had
been assigned to this toast aud Prof.
Swain exhibited much tact in getting
ont of the scrape.
Miss Douglas advanced some appro-
PIRATE sentiments in responding to a
toast on the word .'now."
Rev. d. F. Bradley, who like Prof.
swain, did not expect it, made q de-
cided hit in the clever manner in Rhlch
he exhibited his surprise. For full q
moment he sat staring into space and
when he began his remarks he had not
recovered from his surprise.
3. BurRi talked about music in a way
which plainly showed his famiIie.ity
with the subject. He said that he knew
nothing about music, and could not be
funny and therefore would sit down.
Prot. MeMurtry grated e&cellently
with nothing for q subject.
So did General Beadle.
Mr.. Jamison next responded to the
toast advice" ch~eerfully aud we'll.
He ives iull of advice of q superior
qnslt,y.
CONSERVATION was plainly apparent
on Prot. Shaw's face when the presiding
officer called on him. But he mastered
the situation and made a brief bnt 90.
propriate address.
Mr.. Chase talked about 'ff" at con-
siderable length,
Prof. Young did not know the social
was loaded for him and he would like to
say something funny upon such an ooca-
sion, but there was q tinge of sadness
connected with it all which babe him be
sombre in his discourse.
Prof. Bartlett was another one OF the
number which went to make up this
unhappy faculty." for such the college
faculty seemed to be. Prof. Bartlett
struggled mnnfully. however, and finally
took his seat gracefully.
r. 8, Cooley outlined the "Resources
of Dakota" while MI. Wilder summoned
the muses. to his aid and responded the
toast "the Seniors" in verse.
President Ward came last and he
positively refused to say anything that
would indicate a farewell. Though the
seniors wandered to the extremes Of the
earth they would still belong to Yankton
college and good by was therefore I'M
necessary. Thus ended q very pleasant
evening.
