The New York Carpenters strike.

New YORK, Feb. 20.-The strike of
the union carpenters employed by Con-
tractor John Downey is spreading.
Yesterday the board OF walking dele
gates called out 400 more of his men.
They struck in sympathy with the 500
carpenters who quit work ON Thursday
because Contractor Downey employed
cabinet makers TO do carpenter work at
$3 day. while union carpenters were
entitled TO $3.50. The strike, it is said,
affects nearly 1900 men. AT meeting
of the Wood Carvers' Union il was de-
cided not to support the striking car
penters. This action may complicate
the situation, as the carpenters may re-
taliate and order strikes in the places
where the wood carvers are employed.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Business Situation Less En-
oouraging This Week.
EFFECTS OF FREE SILVER TALK.
A Further Decliae i'm the Price of
Cotton Blights Hopes of Revival in
Southern Trade--A Satis factory
Money Market, However. Reported
In All Sections.

NEW YORK. Feb. 20.--R. G.. Dun &,
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
business situation is not quite so salts
factory or encouraging as it has been.
While the gradual increase in the dis
tribution of many lines of merchandise
continues, there is shrinking demand
and more depression in iron. a further
decline in cotton blights hopes of re-
vival in southern trade, and the specu-
lative mania, stimulated by cheap money
and by the great success of the coal
speculation, now extends to wheat and
threatens to restrict exports. Mean
while the talk OF free silver in congress
causes distrust in the future, although
the well informed know that any seri-
Gus change at this session of congress is
impossible. From all parts of the
country the returns regarding the money
markets are satisfactory, indicating an
ample supply, and ON the whole better
collections than are usually seen ut this
season.
Notwithstanding the fact that exports
of wheat have been diminishing while
western receipts continue large specula-
ton at Chicago has lifted the price 1-2
cents during the week, and sales here
have been 81 900, 900 bushels. Corn has
declined l-2 cent, with large exports,
but very large receipts. Pork products,
oats and coffee are substantially I'M
changed. Cotton is shade lower. with
sales of 5S7, 900 bales here, receipts being
"a per cent. greater for the week than
last year. but exports Sc per cent.
greater.
\ Throughout the Country.
Nat Boston trade is reported satisfac-
foxy. AT Baltimore the lumber trade is
moTe active. The movement in dry
goods at Philadelphia promises an active
spring trade, but in liquor. tobacco,
chemicals, paints and glass trade is
quiet lnd in groceries very dull. The
wool market is dull the worsted mills
lacking \prders. AT Pittsburg trade in
iron and \ steel has grown duller and
prices are\ weakening. At Cleveland
improvement is seen in most lines, and
tradeis larg&r than last year, and man
ufacturing at Detroit exceeds last years
record, while vessel rates are better. At
Chicago sales of merchandise show a
fair increase over last year. Trade is
good at Milwaukee and collections are
satisfactory. AIN Minneapolis and st.
Paul business is fair, and the outlook
promising. AT Omaha and Kansas City
both trade and collections are fair and
money plentiful. AT, St. Louis business
shows signs of revival, and the outlook
for the spring tradeN is encouraging.
Trade also improves at Denver
Throughout the south the continued de-
preston of cotton is noted as cause Of
