BUSINESS REVIEW.
Dun's Weekly Review Of Business-TradS
Somewhat Dull.

Dun's Weekly Review Of Business-TradG
Somewhat Dull.
NEW YORK. March 2.-R G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade is as follows:
Traders who have been waiting through q
oelated season for the expected winter
trade find that it does not come and
spring has arrived. Hence there are on
hand large stocks Of unsold winter goods,
which account for the hardness of coll
lections In many quarters, and for the
general sense Of disappointment.
At fully half the interior points which
report this week there is noted a fairly
good trade or some improvement. Pitts
burgh observed an advance of % cents in
some kinds of pig iron and a better in
quiry for manufactured in many forms.
Great strength is also observed at Cleye.
land.
Philadelphia notes most cautious deal.
ing in dry goods, firmer market for
leather, and a slow market with tardy COL
lections for drugs and chemicals. As to
collections, Omaha alone reports improve
ment. The money markets are amply sup
piled for legitimate business. The manu-
facturers are buying more freely Of leather
and for hemlock prices are &c lower.
Rubber is firm at 64a<c for Para fine. The
anthracite coal trade is stagnant. The
output thus far this year has been 4, 1902.
319 tons, against 4, ,6s2 last year. The
accumulations of coal at Port Richmond
is represented as greater than at any other
time for thirty years. In the minor metals,
severe attack on the copper syndicate at
London caused q fall not followed here;
and tin is a little stronger at 2lHc, with
lead frmer at 8 &c per pound.
1t is thought at Philadelphia that the
iron market is firmer. The market for bar
iron Is very unsatisfactory and scanty,
and no Improvement in rails is seen. At
New York No. foundry continues to be
offered at very low figures. and pressure
to sell wire rods is noticed but sales of
$4,000 tons of rails make that market
firmer, and it is stated that the allotment
will be readjusted April 1.
Wheat is 1sc lower, at 97ssc. Corn, I'M
changed, at 44c, and oats &c stronger, at
30Ac. Pork is steady; lard. a shade
lower; hogs, &c higher. Lower prices
are noted for butter AMI cheese. but oil is
&c stronger, at 9l1sc; coffee. &c higher,
at 1s1sc, and cotton. Lice higher, at SIC. 10
for middling uplands.
Figures indicate that the excess of i'm.
ports over exports for February may be
SI,OOO,OOO, or more against over $40 600. 900
last year. Foreign exchange remains
steady. During the past week the stock
market has virtually done nothing; prices
are, on the whole, unchanged, The treas
ury has put out S1,9OO. 900 more cash
than it has taken in during the week. and
owing to the large pension payments,
probably closes the month with a lower
cash balance and larger volume Of cur
rency in circulation than at the end Of
January. Meanwhile, the general course
of prices for commodities has tended up
ward slightly for the past W eek.

and ability to be Of great service there to

GERMAN-AMERICANS.

The Rolfe reproduces paragraph
from the Helena Herald sneering at what
the latter sees fit to call "a so-called Ger
man American democratic club" at Great
Falls. We would inform the benighted
Herald that the crowded meeting was
composed mainly of Germans. that the
members of the club are Germans and
that those broad principles of liberty
which the Germans revere caused oul
German fellow-citizens to organize the
club. If Americans speak at a clut
meeting it is not the less German OF
Scandinavian as the case may be. The
Herald may we'll tremble at the signs O
the times. The Germans are an intelli
gent, patriotic race. They know the aim
and tendencies of the republican party an
cannot act with it. They are taking thel
stand on the broad platform of the Mon
tana democracy and will help us win tn
coming victory.
