3 G. nun CO.'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Business in All Lines Fairly Prosperous
Coffee Only Fractionally Higher.


Coffee Only Fractionally Higher.
R. G. Dan & Co.'S weekly review of trade
says:
The Brazilian revolution has had surprisingly
little inf u6nce on the markets as yet; coffee is
only eighth higher for the week, and the new
Government appears TO be SO generally sus-
tanned that apprehension of closing of ports or
interruption of trade has almost ceased But
it is possible that the money markets were in
directly affected to some extent through Eu-
rope, where the uncertainty continues. Here
money has been scarce and dear at times, tight
at Philadelphia and decidedly close at Boston.
The heavy exports of domestic products
market will hardly be disturbed by
demands from abroad. The market
ing of crops and movement of money from New
York to pay for them have produced aneasier
The great industries are making steady pro-
gress. Iron and steel strong. The cotton
manufacture has beel doing steady business,
with firm prices. The wooden goods business
does not APPEAR at Boston to be improving to
any great extent. but there has been more
tivity in the wool market Montevideo hides
have sold as the lowest price for thirty-fve
years. but more demand for leather is noticed
at Boston. Hardware is also selling well, and
humber is in good demand. Wheat has risen sc,
and corn 78c. Oats sc, and pork
products are higher. The general course of prices
has been upward, however, the advance since
Nov. having averaged about / "a per cent on all
commodities. At Chicago the dressed beef
ceipts double those of last year. and of pro-
visions more than double while the dry goods
trade still shows satisfactory results, with pay
ments easy in the country. The Minneapolis
market is active, trade is satisfactory there with
improving collections and business is improving
at Kansas City On the whole the outlook
mains favorable The business failures num-
Der 277, as compared with 265 the previous week,
and 267 the week before that. h or the cores
