FIRE was brought under control.
The Clafin building is Of stone, four
stories high. The first floor was occupied
by Chsfiin, Coburn & Go. On the upper

floors are occupied bg Potter, White x

THE STATE OF TRADE.
TRADE BETTER wGBRg THB COLD
WEATHER HAS APPEARED.
Unssasonsbls Weather the General Complaint.
Some Unsasinsss is Noticeable in the Iron
Market Anthracite Coal SngDant
But Bitumnous Active.

NEW YORK, January 17.-R. G. DON q
%. q review of trade for the week says
Trade is better where the cold weather
has made It's appearance. but unreasonable
weather is the general complaint. The
weekly output of pig iron on January l was
ia, ,03s tons, against 169. Isl for December
/, and 154, 1893 8 year ago. Inquiries indi'
cate that there Ia in the aggregate an &C
cumulation Of stocks.
II also appears that the market for bar
iron is somewhat unsettled with tendency
toward concessions, and plate iron Is less
firm. Structural and sheet iron and nails
are steady, bat some uneasiness is not-csd
in the market for steel rails. Ualess con-
sumption Of finished products is not only
sustained but expanded, the output of pig
iron Can hardly continne at the present
rate.
THE srAaNATIoS IN ANTHRACITE COAL
il aggravated. Prices ore demoralized,
and bituminious coal, though very active,
is easier.
The wool and WOODEN goods show dis
tinct signs of division between the light
goods and worsted, and the heavier goods
Of all kinds. The latter are seriously de-
pressed by the unreasonable weather. Bot
there ia a marked rivival in the trade for
domestic worsted and light goods, believed
10 be due to the changes last year in treas
ury rulings. now, for the first time felt.
Reports from various quarters are on the
whole more favorable. Collections are gen.
,ually slaw because ofretarded distribution,
bu. unquistness is reported at only few
points.
The money markets here and elsewhere
show, on the whole, rather more pressure,
which the heavy business in progress and
the tardy collections explain.
Speculative markets for products are
irregular, but not very active. Wheat is
nearly cent higher, corn cent lower,
Pork products sbsde weaker, coffee ls
steady. oil II cent higher on light deal
ings and raw sugar ia again advanced 8
shade. The general list of prices Is
shade lower than a week ago.
The failures number 1886 as compared
with 373 last week. For same week last
year figures were $50.
