NV XoRx, May 13-R- G. Dun & Co.'S
See.iy revlew oftrade says:
II Is the most prominent Characteristic of
tne Present situation throughout the country
tnai me usual consistency of commercial
actlon Is lacking. Transactions and results
1or some branches of business are highly
satisfactory and for others mucht e reverse.
Many iron works are closing for example,
ous many are doing remarkably well. Many
WOODEN mills are idle, but others are work
ing full time. but with fair profits. The
approaching transition from one crop year
to another, the present change of admins
tratlon, the changes in the interstate law and
the rapid development of manufacturers at
the south are producing effects which can
not be fully measured.
The wool market goes lower while waiting
adequate news and the avera e of 1O4 quail
tiles on May was A.3 cents, against A.8
cents on April 1. The future depends upon
the state of the dry goods market, which is
not encouraging. The cotton manufacture
is active and healthy. The trale in drugs
and chemicals has become quite active
while collections excellent, but dye ssuffs are
hull.
A speculative movement in brea1stuffs
has developed again, apparently based on
the theory that although the coming crop
may be very large, there will be enough
actual scarcity in July before new wheat
comes forward freely to enable traders to
unload.
Wheat has advanced Il cent; Corn IL
and olts n with an advance of Is cents
per 100 pounds in hogs and lard. OIL has
decl ned 3H cents and cotton a sixteenth,
with sales of $4,000 bales here for the
week.
In spite of some speculative advances the
general average of prices for commodities
is little lower than it was May 2. The
stock market ends at exactly the average of
q week ago, the default in st. Louis being
the more prominent because of recent weak
ness. Large exports of gold which began
a week ago and the absorption of 100000
b the treasury since Ma 8, also have some
effe t. A sharp demand for money at Cleve-
land causes slight stringency. The outlook
i: the northN est is regarded much more
confidently since the recent rains. Ev-
erywhere the prospects are encouraging
with the season more advanced than usual
and the acreage in wheat considerably in
creased.
The business failures number 81. for
the week, against ia for last week, and .213
the week previous. For the corresponding
weekof last year the figures were 9O9.

complete set of laws now in force

Early this morning gang Of

the Palace wall. Up to o'clock
this afternoon they had it down from
the front gate on King street to the
corner of King and Richards streets.
1t is being taken down to within 3
feet inches of the ground. The
King suggested that an iron fence
take its place, and this will be done.
1t is understood that the Govern
ment has already sent for designs
of ornamental iron fencing, and as
soon as a design is selected, the
fence will be ordered. There is no
doubt that the taking down of the
wall will be a great Improvement.
