Dun,s Rexieu of Trade.

NEW YORK, May Ar. G. DUN &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business is large In volume and sus-
tanned by general confidence as to the
future.
Wheat and flour exports from Atlant-
ic ports continue far behind those OF last
year, and while reports of foreign crops
prospects are not favorable, there is re-
ally no reason to anticipate any short
age or unusual demand from abroad
prior to the close of the current crop
year. The possible demand next year
has to meet an exceptionally favorable
crop outlook. The reports of trade at
other eastern and middle cities are on
the whole more favorable than week
ago. Trade at western and southern
points seem to be especially encourag-
ing. Better weather helps almost
all western points, and at
the city of Milwaukee trade was never
better, at Omaha and St. Paul very fair:
at Minneapolis four is dull. but the lum-
Der trade is active at Omaha; fair
weather helps business. Trade is quiet
at Kansas City but improving at Louis
vile, Nashville and Atlanta with de-
cided strength ct st. Louis.
The great industries are in better
shape. The demand for products of
iron and steel is more encouraging. The
woollen manufacturers still hesitate,
apparently because the producers are
inclined to ask higher prices for the
new clip of wool than the manufacture
ers can pay, but there is belief that
the consuming demand for goods must
be as large as it ever has been
in any previous year, and the clothiers,
though very cautious heretofore, begin
to act upon that belief. The shoe trade
is still retarded by the uncertainty as
to prices for the future but it is never
the less fairly active. Merchandise ex-
ports from New York continue much
larger than year ago. but imports are
also remarkably large and there is a
prospect of heavy exports of gold for
some months.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 30. as compared
with total of pa last week and 2l1 the
corresponding week last year.

The appointment Of board Of lady
commissioners as part OF the working
apparatus of the Worlds fair was in
part compliment and in part an ex.
pertinent. 1t was probably not intend
ed that the ladies should do anything
in particular; it was intended that they
should do as they pleased as far as
practicable, and there was perhaps
some mild curiosity to see what they
would please to do.
The first intimation the general
public has OF their pleasure in the
premises is a most tremendous quarrel.
which has upheaved from somewhere
below the surface with all the sudden
ness OF powder blast in a macadam
quarry. What it is, why it came. or
how it came. the public hardly knows,
but it does know for certainty that It
has come and that tremendous. II il

person might even say that the Worlds

What are they going to do about it?
If they fight il TO finish they will be
the laughing stock OF the continent. 1t
will be funny, of course, but can such
heaps of fun be afforded under condi-
tions when even very little OF such fun
comes too dear for those who are max
ing it, and incidentally for the enter
prise with which they are officially con-
nected?
While il may be hard indeed for
ladies to compromise: while as q rule
compromises Of any kind are against
their consciences, this seems TO be a
case in which they would better make
an attempt at compromise: and If they
do il with the same vigor they show
in their quarrel there will be no doubt

NOT MUCH TRADING BUT MORE Or
DERs FLOATING AROUND.

Renewed Interest in the Tractions-Banks
and Insurance Take Back Seats-Users
of Natural Gas Resorting to Saving
Applances-Eastern Orders for Electric.
There was light trading on call yesterday,
but the bullish sentiment was little more
in circulation. The only active stocks were
Duquesne Traction and Luster, but the min
ing, electric light and miscellaneous depart
ments of the list were pretty we'll covered
with bids.
The best features were Central Traction,
Pleasant Valley, Switch and Signal and
Philadelphia Gas-all showing improvement
in figures OF sentiment. The inquiry for the
fractions was SO much better than usual as
to lead some to think they would soon get
and so was Electric. Banks and Insurance
were neglected.
The opinion entertained by many that the
natural gas companies will he left without
customers by reason of the proposed ad-
vance in rates, may prove delusive. Dealers
in gas saving appliances are overrun With
ORDERS showing that users of the fuel are not
means to keep the cost within reasonable
bounds.
Electric weakened little at the last call,
and. strangely, on an empty market. Orders
for it seem to be multiplying, 1t is asserted
by those who ought to know that they come
from the same Boston crowd that engineered
the little boom just before the beginning of

Flour, Feed and Grain.

There has not been q sale on call at the

Railroad Bonds Are DulIer.
New YORK, Aug. 27.-The stock market was
not SO active to-day, especially in the after
noon, and displayed in the main reaction
ary temper under heavy rcalizations, and
prices ruled almost throughout the day at q
slightly lower level than those of last even
ing: The efforts for a reaction were made
with more confidence this morning, as Lon
don was again seller of stocks, everything
except Union Pacific among the favorites Of
that center being among the stocks disposed
of, and reports of frost in the far Northwest
came in to help the bearish sentiment among
the traders.
Prices were higher at the opening but the
pressure brought to bear was at last success
ful in forcing prices below the opening. The
bullish sentiment remains unimpaired and
the extremely stubborn resistance shown by
prices to reaction even under the most dis
couInging circumstances, shows that the
present movement is based on firmer foun-
dati0n than any upward movement within
the last two years.
Commission people report steadily grow
ing interest in the mark ket and the increased
inquiry is seen in its widening and the ex-
tension of the transactions to large num-
ber of stocks which have lain dormant for
months The business of to-day and yester-
day was more widely distributed than that
of any day for the last year, the number of
stocks dealt in reaching about les. Another
encouraging sign for the market is the COM
narrative insignif1cance of the dealings in
the unlisted department. The incubus of
the manipulation of those properties being
removed from the market gives Legitimate
securities chance to reach their proper
level.
The effects of the frosts in the West were
of no material consequence, and the de-
clines in prices went no farther than frac-
tions, although few stocks here and there
yielded readily because of special pressure
or other circumstances. The Industrials
were more active and all were helped by
special circumstances, Sugar being strong
in the reported deal with the opposition re-
f1neries; Lead, because of the lack of opposi-
tion to the reorganization scheme at the
meeting, and Cordage continued it's reaction
from its late depression. There were fire.
Quent changes of temper during the day.
The market finally closed only fairly active
and heavy to weak. The trading reached
246,S50
Railroad bonds were not so active and
were rather inclined to follow the share list
downward, though few weak spots were
seen. Among the more important advances

FOREIGN METAL MARKETS.
Scarcely Anything Doing in Pig Iron, While
Tin Plate Remains Steady.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The foreign metal
markets are thus reported by the Iron Age:
In London business in pig iron warrants has
been inRnimate. Prices have not varied
more than Cd during the week, and stocks in
Oonnals Stores have vnried but slightly. The
totals are now sol, 600 tons Scotch and l52, 600
tons Cleveland. The bulk of the supply of
Scotch warrants is held firmly by the Lon
don syndicate, and it is difficult to buy for
prompt delivery except at higher prices, al
Though - Scotch furnaces are now in blast.
Hematite warrants have weakened some
what owing 20 lack of demand, consequent
upon dullness in the steel trade. Latest sales
OF warrants were at 47s@4Ts Id for Scotch;
S9s Sd for Cleveland ana ASS for hematite.
Better prices early in the week brought ont
1reer sellers of pig tin, and prices eased off
somewhat, but there has since been a reac-
tiOn on prompts.
Copper has been rather quiet during the
greater portion of the week, and prices have
ruled irregular. The future of prices ap-
pears TO depend greatly upon American sup
plies, which have recently been larger than
expected. The tin plate market has been
steady. Small orders from San Francisco
and the Continent have been plentiful, but
these are insufficient to absorb the output.
