New YORK, Feb. Or. G.. Dun &

there is much uncertainty aoout the future
Of trade. Eastbouni shipments from Chi
cago for half of February have been 146.-
957 tons, ag INST 205, 2S3 last year, a loss
of 20 per cent. This is mainly due TO the
shogtness of crops. but the output and
movement of iron arc also much smaller
than year ago, and the fore gu trade is
falling below last years both imports and
exports. The tone of reports from other
cit es is generally favorable. In the south
cotton is held back for higher prices, and
trade is duh at Memphis and Atlanta and
fair at New Orleans. At Savannah the
prospect is bright, and trade is of good
volume at ST. Louis and healthy at Kansas
City.
In the west prospects are fair. At
Chicago there is an increase of wheat
movement. but decrease in dressed beef,
lard, hides and wool. In dry goods,
clothing and boots and shoes sales are
above last years. Detroit notes quiet
trade and only fair collections. The bust
