New YORK, June 1s.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
There is improvement both In actual trade
and in prospects. Floods still make some trou-
BILE in the lower Mississippi valley, but else
where throughout the west aud northwest ex-
eellent farm prospects stimulate trade At
the east the demand for matured prospects is
large for the season and the settlement OF
many labor controversies helps, especially in
the building trades, while the fear of a long
strike In western iron works also stimulates
purchases of iron and steel products. Political
movements have much encouraged conserya.
tive men, with regard to the monetary future.
Iron sales are large, the demand for struc-
tural, sheet ard plate iron is improving, and
even in rails the western mills find some
what better demand. Tho demand for steel
bars is stimulated by the low prices, 214 cents
being quoted. No improvement is seen
in copper at IL cents; London speculation
has hoisted tin to % cents, but lead
is weaker, at Al cents Trade is fairly active at
Boston, with large sales of print cloths and ro-
duction in bleached shirtings, while woolenS
are seasonably quiet and the shoe trade excel
lent, though orders are temporarily checked by
western floods. Leather is very firm and an
other advance in sole is predicted Rubber
shoes are steady with orders for weeks ahead,
Rubber is firm and active, and sales of wool are
5OU,OOO pounds with encouraging prospects,.
At Pittsburgh the demand for finished iron is
good, the prospect of wage difficulties stimu-
lating it, the workers demanding last year 3
scale and the manufacturers insisting upon a
reduction AT Cleveland trade is larger than
IAa&
at Cincinnati the millinery trade is above the
average and the fewelry trade fair. At De-
troit trade equals last year 8, and in some lines
slarger, with wool 2 cents below last years
prices, and crop prospects are good. At Chi
cago the volume of business is increasing in all
lines and receipts of oats show some increase
over last year: of cured meats a sixth, of hogs
and cattle a fifth, of flour and rye two thirds
while Of dressed beef receipts are double, OF
lard three times and of barley four times last
years. A decrease of third is seen in wheat
and wool. and some decrease in hides. cheese
and butter. At st. Louis, in spite of hot
weather, business is reasonably good, and at
Kansas City fairly satisfactory with large re-
ceipts. The crop outlook Is brighter at Mill
waukee and remarkably good at Minneapolis,
with trade better than last year, lumber active
and the -four output the largest on record, be-
ing 900 barrels against ,0C0 last year. At
Omaha improvement is seen in dry goods shoes
and hardware, and at Denver trade is very
good. Improved trade is noted at Louisville
and Nashville, and business holds on well for
the season at Savannah, decrease in produc-
tion of naval stores being contemplated. High
water makes business dull at New Orleans, but
sugar is quite steady and money plenty with
very little demand. A June cIop report prom
ising a wheat yield much beyond any other ex-
cept the last has caused wheat to fall cents,
while oats have fallen 214 and corn cent, and
pork products are a little stronger. Western
receipts of wheat continue at 800 COO bushels
daily and exports nearly 100000; but
the surplus to be carried over will doubt
less reach 100000 bushels. Better weather,
and a decrease of only IL per cent. in cotton
acreage, according to the most reliable report,
have caused fall of five sixteenths in the price
with sales of S13 600 bales, receipts and exports
being larger than last year. The great manu-
facturers are doing well for the season. Cot
ton spinners taking more cotton than
year ago and unsold stocks of goods COM
paratively small. Exports of products con-
tinue heavy. Money is everywhere abundant
and unusually cheap and complaints of collec-
tions fewer than usual. In the stock market Il
decided advance for some days has been fol-
lowed by some reaction but the tone is strong,
notwithstanding exports of more than $780,,
900 gold this week.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days, number,
for the United States 153. and for Canada &c, or
q total of 179; compared with 1872 last
week and 207 the week previous to the last
and 253 for the corresponding week of last year.
