Dun,s Review of Trade.

| NEW YORK, April l3.-R. G. Dun d
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
1t cannot be said that the business oil
the country is expanding when there is
q decrease OF nearly one-sixth within q
single month in the output OF pig iron.
In nearly all quarters the admitted
slackening of trade is attributed TO
many temporary causes, but the state Of
the iron trade cannot be thus explained
and while it may at any time change
for the better II is at present an unfGv-
orab!e symptom. The trade is very dull
and some southern furnaces weakening,
as 10 prices and the market for manu-
featured forms OF iron and steel show no
improvement. 1t is said that the orders
for rails placed this year do not reach
400 900 tons.
Another element which may prove OF
great though temporary Importance is
the decision OF great body OF miners
to strike on May Isl for eight hours a
dav.
The other industries show no mater
ial change. Reports from the various
centers Of trade are about the same Us
last week, but recognize temporary
slackening even more generally, while
it is attributed mainly to bad weather
and the state Of country roads.
Speculation in breadstutfs halts,
though wheat is a fraction higher.
Corn Is &c lower, but oats &c higher.
Pork is pc higher, but lard and hogs
shade lower.
Coffee is three-quarters OF q cent low
er and cotton has declined sixteenth.
Raw sugar has advanced a sixteenth
under the very heavy demand since the
duty was removed, but refined grades
are unchanged as yet.
In general the speculative markets
are rather inert and the general aver
age price is now per cent lower than
it was two weeks ago.
Exports are fairly maintained in the
aggregate, but the movement of wheat,
flour and corn falls far below last year.
The money market here is quite I'M
disturbed, though at all eastern mar
kets there is more than q usual DISPOSE
tion to loan on call rather than on time,
and ut Boston there is considerable
stringency. Philadelphia and Pitts
burg are easy. but ct Cleveland there is
some pressure. CINCINNATI is little
close, and at Chicago there is good de-
mand at 8 per cent. At all other west
ern points generally the money markets
are comparatively easy, and at the south
not materially changed.
Collections are not as rule quite
satisfactory owing to bad weather and
bad country roads, but the treasury has
aunin mt ont ahOut AZ 0fl0 000 in n
week, more than it has taken in, and
no signs appear of heavy gold en-
ports.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 243, as compared
with a total OF 243 last week. For the
corresponding week Of last year the fig
rres were 200.

The European war Cloud.

ROME, April 15.-In an interview
yesterday Premier di Rudini said that
it was difficult to imagine that Italy and
England would remain passive while
war was being waged by Russia and
France against Germany and Austria.
even If the dreibund did not exist.
Italy might find it TO her interest to
range herself on the side of Great Brit
ain should Russia refrain from interior
ing in the affairs of other powers, thus
securing the absolute neutrality Of
Great Britain. II Austria attacked
Russia, or Germany declared war with
France, their action would not imply
that Italy was to join in the movement
BY the terms OF the contract she was
entitled to act as a neutral nation and
to remain so. The case was different II
any one OF the contracting powers was
made the object Of the attack.
