MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Weekly Review of the State of Trade and
Finance Throughout the Country as
shown Through II. G. Dun d Co.'S Com

Somewhat Abated and the Volume of
Trade Good-.Susiness Failures, Etc.
New York. Jan. 1O.-R. G. Dun s.
Co S weekly review of trade says:
The hopeful feeling in most branches Of
trade continues and the railroad outlook is
improved. But in spite of this there has been
much selling of securities foreign ac-
count The exchange has advanced from
1917 last week to 1852. The Iegs lative pros
pect is regarded by many with apprehension,
and the situation in the iron and cotton in
dusties is not satisfactory. The iron ana
steel manufacture has been so extended that
shrinkage Of credits has forced sales in many
cases at prices below cost; hence works
producing rails and other finished
products now idle, whose monthly
consumption of pig iron IS eS-
timated at 10000 tons. On tho whole
the prospect is considered less bright than it
has been for many years in this industry In
the cotton manufacture also, the shrinkage
OF credit has severely strained many con-
Germs and prices of goods have been very
low and further reductions have been made
during the past week in bleached cottOnS.
The wooden manufacture ia doing fairly. Re-
ports of trade in the different cities are still

a large volume OF traffic for the
season with marked Improvement
since the monetary pressure abated.
Boston notes larger sales of boots and shoes,
and of leather and hides. Chicago receipts
of grain equal last years with decrease
in dressed beef, cured meats and lard. st.
Louis and Cincinnati note better trade. At
Denver trade is good and at Salt Lake City
decidedly improved while at other north
western points business is unchanged or
comparatively quiet. Higher cotton produces
greater activity throughout the South.
Sugar and rice receipts at New Orleans are
good The money markets through
out the country are less stringent
and reported collections more favor
able. Speculative operations continue
wholesomely inactive. Foreign trade con-
tnues favorable, exports showing large
gain over last year, while there is some de-
crease in imports.

The Campaign May be Prolonged All
Winter.

RUsHvILLE, Neb., Jan. 1o.-Notwith
standing the report that the Govern
ment troops are preparing to force the
Indian troubles to crisis by surround
ing the hostiles and making them either
fight or surrender, there are other indi-
cations that the present condition Of
affairs may be prolonged all win
ter The lines are being strength
ened at the scene of hostilities,
and both parties are improving
their positions by digging rifle pits and
throwing up breastworks. The Indians
captured and drove off the agency's
herd of cattle, SO they are in no danger
of starving. 1t looks now as if the two
armies might not confront each other
until spring opens, unless the military
take the initiatory, which they are not
likely to do until all the friendlies are
known to have separated themselves
from the hOStileS.

The Surplus in the National Treasury
Again Piling Up.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The Treasury
surplus is again piling up, and at the
close of business yesterday, was Sl6,'
600, 900. Since the first of the year, de
spite the heavy payments on account OF
pensions and interest, the receipts have
largely exceeded the expenditures, and
as a result the surplus daily increases
The fact that money is easier in New
York and elsewhere has much to do il
swelling the surplus, which heretofore
they have not done. The receipts from
customs duties have increased more
largely in proportion than the receipts
from internal revenue sources.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year
the Treasury Department has purchased
more than 1872 900, 900 of four and four
and-a-half per cent. bonds.
