RG.Dun 4 Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade
says: The condition of business through
out the country appears excellent, with the
volume Of trade greater than In any pre-;
vious year. At Boston trade is good, pros
poets are considered excellent and money is
easy at lower rates. Merchandise Is fairly
active. and though woolcn gon:,s are quiet
the mills are well employed while sales OF
cotton are very large with an advance, and
groceries are in satisfactory demand. At
Philadelphia trade in general is fairly ac
tive, especially in hardware and in electrical
supplies and plants; money is easier from
lack of demand, and is expected TO be
easier than usual for the coming month.
At Baltimore n slight increase is seen in
the local demand for goods the supply Of
money Is ample and the caution SHOWN in
Southern dealings has been justified by ex-
relcnt collections this season. AT CinCinna-
Il cigar manufacturing does we'll exceeding
last years trade Is per cent, and jobbers
are doing II satisfactory business, with good
prospects. Trade is good ut Cleveland,
though not changed in IRON, and dry goods

iron is lower.
The volume of trade at Chicago is salts.
factory aud collections are good, with money
IN strong demand. currency being wanted
for the Southwest. Receipts of cheese and
broom corn are more than double last
wear $; of butter 80 per CEN, larger, with
slight increase in flour barley, cattle and
sheep while in hides and oats the decrease
$40 per cent; in corn, dressed beef and
wool, 20 per cent; In eggs, lard and rye, 80
per cent: and in whent and seeds, 10 per
cent. The smaller receipts are due in part
10 the phenomenal stocks OH hand, those OF
wheat and oats being nearly double las;
years.
Trade at Milwaukee IL stimulated in all
lines with gratifying results and money is
IN good demand. AT Minneapolis and st.
Paul there is good trade, with collections
improving. The Minneapolis -four output

and the lumber market is strong. the cut be-
lug 800. 900 feet, the largest on record. Trade

| good and money easy. At Denver trade is
| good with iair collections aud at Salt Lake
| better than II year ago, with good prospects.
AT Kansas City live stock receipts are heavy,
| but grain receipts light, and at st. Louis re-
tail trade is improving by more favorable
| weather. Business nt Memphis has slightly
| improved and also at Little Rock. though
| trade Is improving at New Orleans, with
| money much easier and cotton and sugar
| very active.
Low crop estimates now prevail at the
| South on the ground that the frost has done
much damage. Wheat is comparatively in
| active with l of II cent decline, and corn
| and oats are unchanged with small transac-
| tions. Coffee IL also stronger by cent.
The condition of the great industries is

shoe manufacturers fare best of all ut this
moment. 1t has been Il phenomenal aut'

thriving everywhere. In iron the market
remains firm.
Money has been steady at per cent. the
Treasury having added slightly to circnla-
