The first IL inch steel gun made In
the United States. and the lnrgcs. steel
gun ever built in this country. was com
ple;ed at the Watcrvliet arsenal in West
Troy. New York. n few DAYS ago. Army
officers are enthusiastic over IL, and are
eagerly awaiting the final firing test OF
this great gun, the first of sixteen of It's
type ordered by the government. 1t
has been building since Isss, and great
things are expected of IL. The gun is
designed for sea-coast defense. II
weighs - tons and is 81 feet long. It's
charge is 40 pounds Of powder, aud its
projcctilc weighs !, eco pounds. AT the
muzzle this projectile will penetrate 32
inches of iron. and at u distance of two
miles. twenty inches. Although IL was
necessary to 90 abroad to purchase the
largest forgings. owing to the fact that
substantial progress in the manufacture
of steel torgings In this country had not
then been made. 1t will not he neCes-
sary to do so in the future. American
manufacturers having IN the meantime
acquired an experience that enables
them to produce the largest forgings.
The completion of this gun marks a
creditah.c step in tie progress that the
government is making in its army gun
factory at the Watervlict arsenal. Gun
manufacture was first begun there in
November, 1887, under limited and in
termittent appropriations. In two years
ending December 3lst. 1880, the guns
completed there comprised fifty 3-inch.

NEW York. April 13.-R. G. Dun & Co IS
weekly review of trade says:
1t cannot be said that the business of the
country is expanding, when there is a de-
crease of nearly One-sixth in a single month
in pig iron. In nearly all quarters the slack
ening of trade is attributed to many tempo
rary causes, but the state of the iron trade
cannot be thus explained, and while it may
at any time change for the better, 1t is at
present an unfavorable symptom. The trade
is very dull and some southern furnaces
weakening as to price, and the market fol
manufactured forms of iron and steel show
no improvement. 1t is said that the orders
for rails placed this year do not reach 4Oo,OOt
tons. Another element which may prove oI
great, though temporary importance, is the
decision of a great body of miners to strike
May for eight hours day. The other In
dustries show no material change.
Reports from the various centers of trade
are about the same as last week, but recog-
niZe a temporary slackening even more gem
eral, which is attributed mainly to bad
weather and the state of the country roads.
Speculation in breadstuffs halts, though
wheat is fraction higher. Corn IS q lower,
but oats d a cent higher; pork % cents
higher, but lard and hogs a shade lower
Coffee is q of n cent lower, and cotton ha!
declined a sixteenth. Raw sugar has ad'
yanced sixteenth under the very heavy de
mand since the duty was removed, but re-
fined grades are unchanged as yet. In gen
| eral the speculative markets are rather inerl
and the general average price Is now pei
cent. lower than it was two weeks ago. Elk
ports are fairly maintained in the aggregate
but the movement of wheat, flour and corn
| falls far below last years.
The money market here is quiet and un-
disturbed, though at all eastern markets
there is more than usual disposition to loan
on call rather than on time, and at Boston
there is considerable stringency. Philadel
| phia and Pittsburg are easy, but at Cleveland
| there is some pressure; Cincinnati is a littlt
close, and at Chicago there is good demand
