10 Sc weekly review of trade SAYS:
The iron markets are distinctly stronger
tbare ia less pressure to sell and concessions
arc more rare even though any advance III
prices is as yet resisted. The deInanu LOT oaI
iron is not active and weakness IN stocAS
tends to check sales OF rails. Large Saws
of conner at I2Is, are reported, but TIN mas
cold az low as 20 cents, and sales OF lead are
small and of tin plates moderate Iopaceo
has risen to cents in the Connecticut val
lev and the producers are reaizhs i".s
nrofi,s. Sales of dry goods are large IN the
aggregate but in light weights 1ar JEW

suspends the movement OF cotton. In sp,'o
of several more circulars OF ADVICE 10 tue
farmers to hold their wheat, the price mas
declined about cent. Receipts at the wes'
have been over 100000 bushels
I'm four DAYS; corn has advanced Two
cents and oats lis cents, ana whIIc COTTON -
unchanged in price pork prooucts nav
changed but little, and coffee and oil are
little lower. There is more perpiexi'y tnan
usual regarding the yield of cotton, but tue
most conservative estimates conclude that
| large decrease in the product is propaoie,
| making market for the heavy STOCKS
which were brought over from last year.
| Jmnorts of merchandise. though smaller
| than wear ago when the movement was eA-
| ceptional, are quite large, ana exports rom
| New York for the past two weeks are nearly
| equal to those of last year. Railroad earn
| fngs exceed last years, as do exchanges AT
| the various clearing houses outside OF Ne"
| York though but slightly, and there are as
| vet no svmptoms of the artificial monetary
| pressure which some have apprehended.
| The business failures occurring through
| out the country during the last seven days,
number for the United States, 20l, and for
| Canada 29 or a tot Al of 23o; as compared
| with total of 2A last week, and 239 for the
week previous to the last. For the corre-
| spending week of last year the figures were
| 1877, representing l66 failures in the I'M
| States and 81 in the Dominion of Canada
