DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT
ON THE CONDITION AND PROS
Poets OF TRADE.

| The weekly report of business fail

during the last seven days, as reported
to r. G. Dun Il Co., number for the
United States $50 and for Canada 25.
or total of IT'S. For the correspond
| ing week of last year the figures were
237, representing PA in the United
States and % in the Dominion of Can
| ada.
Labor disturbances which recur at
this season, though unusually numer-
Gus, do not embrace a great num-
Der of men, nor seem likely to be
prolonged.
AT Baltimore the manufacturers are
active, though building trades are re-
tarded by strikes.
AT Pittsburg a kbetter demand for
iron is seen, and there is good trade
in hardware.
At Philadelphia there is fair trade
in groceries, in hardware, and dry
goods, though the western demand is
checked by the weather, with jewelry
quiet and paints in good request.
In the south there is little to report
at this season, though Savannah
finds the outlook improved by recent
rains.
Business is light at Montgomery,
quiet at Little Rock and Memphis and
only moderate at New Orleans, with
sugar in fair demand and rice active.
The foreign trade in April was re-
markabe. The exports of cotton,
breadstutfs, provisions, cattle and oil
amounted 10 S54, 340,077 against S47,-
GO, 1928 for the same month last year,
with large decrease in cotton be-
cause of lower prices, but heavy in
crease in breadstuff and cattle. This
months exports from New York show
asgain of % per cent. thus far over
last year, and meanwhile the imports
of last year are barely maintained.
Money is SO abundant that the
moderate exports of gold cause as yet
no fear, and the treasury has been
taking in of silver and notes more
than it has paid out by $4,000
during the week.
Reports about collections from all
parts of the country are favorable,
considering the weather and state of
the country roads
Wheat has declined 1-2 cents on
sales of 100000 bushels. Instead
of 50 per bushel, as predicted by the
farmers alliance, tie price on Thurs
day was 80 1-2 cents.
The receipts this week have been
comparatively small, but exports thus
far are quite large.
Cotton has declined sixteenth, with
sales at ATT 900 bales, the receipts and
exports both being close to last years
for the week.
The government reports show that
the sensational accounts Of the decrease
in acreage has been, to say the least,
somewhat exaggerated.
Corn rose cent and pork products
were slightly stronger, but coffee and
oil both declined.
The stock market has been dull dur
ing the week and the range of prices
slightly lower.
In the iron trade the decrease of
1916 tons in the weekly output in
April has improved the demand. and
stock unsold seems to be no longer in
creasing, though prices gain nothing
and are so slow as to be trying to
many producers.
