An Improvement In Trade, Though Aver
age Prices Arc Lower.
Tho review OF trade for last week. reported
by II, g. Dun & Co., is as follows:
Reports indicate continued Improvement In
trade and even In the iron and wooden branches
the aigns for the present are more favorable.
Money Is accommodating, and there IL plenty at
all interior points; collections are generally
better, though no Improvement Is seen ut Mil
waukee. The iron market continues unsat1s-
tory aud Southern No. is sold at s16.75, aud
sale of steel rails at less than S27 at the mill Is
ly improved. In the wool market also better
feeling is noted In drugs and chemicals also,
another trade which has been duh, distinct I'M
provement Is observed at Philadelphia, with
collections I'm better shape and prospects higher.
In most of tho speculative markets prices are
lower, and that fact also gives promise OF larger
and freer trade Wheat is two cents lower NJ 81
cents with sales of 40,500,0O0 bushels for the
week corn is rs cent lower at 429s cents, and
oats one cent lower Coffee has not changed,
but speculation i'm sugar has turned downward.
There is no change of consequence in pork
products and oil Is n fraction stronger, but
leather il again half cent lower, butter two
cents and cheese half cent lower, and flour has
declined for some grades so to 10 cents per BAR
rel Speculation in cotton is still strong, and
the price is an eighth higher. Since April tho
fall In the average prices Of all commodities has
been fully half of / per cent. The dry goods
business is fairly on a level with that of last
year, and prices well maintained. it Is a
good sign that collections in this branch seem
TO be generally improved. The grocery trade
has also been more active. The business fall
ures numbered 213, as compared with total OF
246 for the previous week.

Eleven States only took part I'm tho first
Presidential and Congressional election, but
owing TO the difficulty of travel and the dlatory
habits acquired under the confederacy 1t was
not until April g. 1883. that quorum in both
houses OF the new Congress was obtained. AS
soon as they were Organized, the votes were
counted and a committee was appointed TO no
tify Washington OF his election as President.
This all took up weeks Of time, and IL WAS not
until the 30th OF April that he was inaugurated
President and the Government set In operation.
Thus It is that the 3Oth of April, and not the
9TH Of March, becomes the anniversary OF the
