Dun's Review Of the Week Is BY
No Means Cheering.
NEW YORK, March 1.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade: Traders
who have been waiting through be-
lated season for the expected winter
trade find that it does not come and
spring has arrived. Hence there are on
hand large stocks of unsoId winter
goods, which accounts for the hardness
of collections in many quarters, and for
the general sentiment of disappolnt-
ment. AT fully half the interior points
which report this week there is noted a
fairly good trade or some improvement.
PtitSburg observed an advance of 25
cents i'll some kinds of pig iron,
and better inquiry for manu-
featured in many forms. Greater
strength is. also observed at
Cleveland. Philadelphia notes most
cautious dealing in dry goods, frmer
market for leather, and a slow market
with tardy collections for drugs and
chemicals. As to collections. Omaha
alone reports Improvement. The money
markets are everywhere amply; sup
piled for legitimate business. The man
ufacturerS are buying more freely of
leather, and for hemlock prices are &c
lower. Rubber is firm at641 SC for Para
fine. The anthracite coal trade is stag
nant. The output thus far this year
has been 4,302,3l9 tons, against 4, 753, 6S2
last year. The accumulation of coal at
Port Richmond is represented as greater
than at any other time for thirty years.
In the minor markets a severe attack on
the copper syndicate at London caused
a fall to follow here, and tin is little
stronger at 211lc, with lead firmer at
s10c per pound. 1t is thought at
Philadelphia that the iron market is
firmer. phe market for bar iron is very
unsatisfactory and scanty, and no i'm
