DUN'S REVIEW.
THE STATE OF BUSINESS THROUGH
OUT THE COUNTRY As REPORTED
BY II. G. DUN q co.
Trade In q Fairly Good Condition and
Gradually Improving.

New York, February 6.-R. 6. Dun
& Co.'S. Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Though at o higher level OF prices,
business continues TO exceed last years
on the whole, and Is In character more
healthy and conservative than usual.
The disposition increases to count upon
the future for this year at least with
confidence, but speculative tendencies
are in most respects held In check by
the conviction that consumers demands
may not prove quite equal to last year
on account OF short crops. The aver
age price OF commodities advanced
nearly per cent for the past week, but
the advance is almost exclusively in
products of which crops were short.
Reports from all parts Of the country
indicate fair volume OF trade for the
season, easy money and collections gen.
orally fair, although at northwestern
points and In the grocery trade at Phil
adelphia, trade is slow.
The south has the embarrassment OF
o further decline in the price Of cotton.
but receipts are large and general trade
is somewhat better.
Business at st. Louis Is of fair vol
ume, but not as we'll sustained as be-
fore.
Kansas City shows fair average.
Denver is improving, and Omaha and
Milwaukee quiet. Chicago notes q
slight increase over last year in al
grains, and good increase in cured
meats, hides and wool; heavy decrease
In dressed beef, lard and butter; larger
sales of dry goods, clothing and shoes
an enormous cattle trade, 10 per cent
greater than year ago, and the largest
ever recorded in any month.
Wheat has advanced II cents, and
corn and oats have advanced ! cent or
moderate rates. Lard is 10 cents pei
100 pounds stronger and cotton is now
lower.
The exports from New York are fall
ing below last years, especially in
breadstuRs, but there is no present rea
son for unfavorable influence from for
eign trade, and the treasury has in nc
way disturbed finances.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country the past week
number 206, as compared with $50 last
week. For the corresponding weel
last year the figures were 32l.

Hunt county consists Of S69, 600 acres

The Mineola branch will also be ex-
tended south and east through the

the best iron in the world. This eXten-
sion will be Of great importance to the
manufacturers at Greenville, also to the
railway company, as it will provide SUI
perior facilities for procuring lumber
and iron for the factories, car and ma
chine shops, and for other purposes, at
q low price. A thirteen-foot vein oi
coal recently discovered, lies q few miles
south of Greenville, on the line OF the
NJ, K. & T. railway; several carloads oi
which have been shipped to the city,
and those who have used it pronounce
it an excellent quality of coal. 1t can be
delivered here in small lots at two dol
lars per ton, and to manufacturers at
much lower price.
A company Of eastern capitalists have
been testing the iron of eastern Texas
with satisfactory results and now con.
template locating a large car wheel
foundry in this city to manufacture car
wheels and other castings for several
extensive systems of railway. The mas
ter mechanic of the NJ, K. & 7. at Par
sons has given severe tests to wheels
made from iron procured in east Texas
and pronounces them ''the best Of any
make in use." To the date OF his re
port trial set Of these wheels had run
9S, 900 miles without single evidences
of a break. He says 10000 miles is {
good run for any other make Of wheel
These wheels have also been tried or
the Texas Pacific with the same good
results, and Superintendent Elliott says
''they are the best wheel made" TWEEN
ty-five hundred OF these wheels are also
in use on the 1. & G. N, and not one
has vet broken, and their work Is con-
sidered marvellous. The plant to bt
built here will employ from 300 to 5OC
men.

had o representative here for several
weeks contemplating arrangements tc
build plant in which to manufacture
all kinds OF woodwork, including pas
