The Trade Review.

The Trade Review.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-R. G. Dunn 4
Co.'S. weekly review of trade says:
While Boston stocks have declined severely
there are no signs of disturbance there, and
rates for money arc comparatively easy.
The market for bar iron is pronounced
the poorest for many years. The demand
for car building and shelf iron has fallen OF
to almost nothing, and while there il more
demand for plate iron, and the movement
for pipe iron is fair for the season. struot-
ural is gloomy. Nails show no improve
ment and are demoralzed, and steel rails
are quoted at $3.50. Sales to March have
been $50, $50 tons, and deliveries Il, 787
tons, and makers decided not to increase
the allotment.
The government report showing IL, O0O.-
600 bushels Of wheat in farmers hands il
regarded by operators a. an argument for
lower prices. With the visible supply 49,
DOC. 900 bushels, there is thus in sight about
81, OO0,0 900 bushels more than will be no
quired for food and seed until July l, and
there is besides large stock on the Pacific
coast, in country elevators, and in the hands
of traders, not included in the visible supply,
and probably more than the ordinary stock
of flour on hand, the winter having been
open. When it is considered that the ordin-
airy stock of flour would probably exceed
10000, COO bashels of wheat, and that last
years exports of wheat and flour from
March l to July cover but q, 0OO. 900 bush
els, the prospect of scarcity seems remote
The price has fallen cents for the week,
with sales of 5000 900 bushels here. Com
is cent lower and oats q quarter. Pork
products are unchanged. No change appears
in coffee, and but fraction in oil.
The stock market has been weak and
prices have declined on an average Of u
per share. With considerable selling By
foreigners, perhaps, occasioned In part By
fears of disturbance at Paris, there was In
creased disheartenment as to railroad pros
poets. The traffic returns continue fairly
ahead of last years. however, and the root
of difficulty is still dissatisfaction of invest
ors with the manner in which corporations
have been managed. The reports from the
interior this week almost uniformly indi-
cate some improvement in business, though
the complaint of slow collections Is about
as general as before. There is improvement
in leather and groceries.
Money at all interio: markets remains in
ample supply. while at Milwaukee, Detroit,
and a few other minor points, improve
ment in the demand is observed. The
treasury has taking in during the week only
$40O, eco more than it has paid out. On the
whole, while the improvement in trade 10
slow and morrow, it is clearly helped by the
failure of wheat and copper speculations.
and by tho movement of prices toward q
lower level For the week the decline in
average prices OF commodities has been
nearly half of per cent.
The business failures number 26l, while
for the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 221.

Going to Europe is very nice in
deed for those who can afford to
make the trip, but it costs a great
deal Of money. Present estimates
are that $4,000 Americans have gone
across this season, and that the mere
matter of passage money going over
and coming home will amount to the
tidy sum Of 100000. 1t is fair
to assume that each passenger will
spend abroad not less than $500, or
a total for the $4,000 Of $4,000, 900,
making in al probably $60,000,000
of American money that has been
spent in Europe and on the way to
aud from thither this season.
