they neglected these essential formalities

should it prove true, will revolutionize

A DISTINCT IMPROVEMENT.

Review of the Situation.

II. G. Dun d Co. Present an Eucoura Eing
Review of the Situation.
NEW YORK, April 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
There are distinct signs of improvement in
business. Reports from interior points, almost
without exception. indicate an enlargement of
trade. Rapid advances in sugar, coffee, cotton,
butter and oats are nearly balanced by the de-
cline in wheat and corn, pork products, print
cloths, leather and other articles, SO that the
general average of prices is but q shade higher
than week ago. But further disbursements
by the treasury have increased the already
abundant supply of money; the market for Sc
curities has improved, and exports continue to
increase.
The most significant feature of the weeks
commercial news is the report Of furnaces in
blast April i, which shows a weekly output of
anthracite and bituminous iron only 657 tons
less than March ], and neerly 5000 tons, or Sc
cant fact is that with production up to the
largest ever known, prices scarcely yield at all.
These facts, in connection with the narrow de-
mand for rails, indicate that the consumption
OF iron In other forms must be Increasing The
demand for sheet iron is fair, and rails are firm
at 81 to 81 SO, though sales are but 10 600 tons
Nails are frmer and bar iron is still irregular
and low. Pig iron Is rather weaker, and some
southern is offered below S17 for No 1. while
mill iron ranges from Sl4 rs TO SIS So
The sharp advance of 80 cents per ten pounds
N cuEdLs Win buc puICuhSe OF the San
Francisco refinery for the trust, accompany q
sudden rise of cents in the trusts stock. The
boot and shoe trade is said to be large beyond
precedent. Leather is a shade lower. and hides
are overabundant. Raw cotton has risen a
quarter. In oil lower prices caused decrease
of 100000 in value for March, and the market
has been dull and weak. Woolen manufact-
urers and dealers are excited by the news that
the recently appointed appraiser at philadelphia
has advanced the duty on worsteds to CORE
spond with that on woolens and some believe
that similar ruling will soon be made here
and at other ports. The market for raw wool
is stronger in tone. and an advance in price is
expected. Copper and tin are still somewhat
weaker, and the excessive supplies still depress
the coal market, which is worse than dull. The
volume of business is unsatisfactory, and sales
below schedule rates are reported.
Without exception, reports from the interior
show that money is abundant, though in a few
instances the demand is improving, fear Of
disturbance in connection with April settle.
