New York, Oct. 5.-R. G. DUN &
Co. 's weekly review of trade says:
The iron markets are distinctly stronge T,
there is less pressure to sell and eorceesi ions
are more rare, even though any advance in
prices Is as yet resisted. The demand for bar
iron il mot active and weakness in stocks
tends to check sales OF rails. Large sales
of copper at i2l5, are reportedj but tin has
sold as low as 20 cents, and salss OF lead are
small and OF Tin plates moderate Tobacco

cents, and oats 1ls cents, and while cotton is
unchanged in price pork products have
changed but little, and coffee and oil are a
little lower. There is more perplexity than
usual regarding the yield of cotton, but the
most conservative estimates conclude that a
large decrease in the product is probable,
making a market for the heavy stocks
which were brought over from last year.
Imports of merchandise, though smaller
than year ago when the movement was ex-
ceptional, are quite large, and exports from
New York for the past two weeks are nearly
equal to those of last year. Railroad earn
