Co.'s weekly review of trade says.
The tone OF commercial reports from various
parts Of the country indicates that business has
TO sorns extent improved. More favorable
weather has materially Improved the crop
prospects at the west, while a little
Improvement In the ptics OF cotton hae
operated as q stimulus TO business at the
south. There has been no diflcult9 or
disturbance in the money market and the
volume OF currency in circulation increased
during the month OF May about %. .h00. .000,
amounting 10 o. 69O. .O000 600 June |. Collsctions
throughout the country are, on the whole, bet

being unusually large. though the exports from
the eastern ports have also been quite large

though there is as much complaint as ever OF
low prices. Both at Pittsburgh and Pbiladei-
phia pig iron Is weaker, and there are doubts
whether the bottom has been reached. though
nc Chicago, the market is considerably stronger,
and authorities hold that the stocks of pig iron
in the country are now considerably lower than
they have been. The market for bars is weak
at the lowest figures ever known. and the new
demand for structural iron Is not quite as largo
ms has been expected. The market for copper
has been quiet, and the bulls have controlled
the price of tin, but lead has been sluggish.
Quiet prevails in the anthracite coal market
the companies having decided upon another
advance in prices which the condition Of the
market does not appear to warrant. There Is
little new in the wool market or In wooden
manufacture, though such supplies of new wool
as have come forward thus far are readily
taken, and the tone Is somewhat frmer.
At Boston business is more active, boots and
shoes are decidedly stronger, and leather very
firm. AT Philadelphia there is an increase in
sales OF iron, and hardware Is quite active
Wool Is strong. Trade at Baltimore is generally
good. At Pittsburgh finished products OF iron
and steel are in good demand, though prices are
the lowest ever known, and the glass trade is
fairly active. The dry goods trade at Cleve-
land is excellent, and other trades fairly active
except in iron snd ore. At Cincinnati tobacco
sales are unusually large and whisky Is active.
General business at Chicago is greatly in ex.

crease in wheat and -four, cured meats
dressed beef lard and cattle. Cold rains still
depress trade at Milwaukee,, but crop indica-
tions at st. Paul are more favorable. At Omaha
business is very active in groceries, shoes and
hardware. and much improved In dry goods,
while receipts OF grain and cattle are increased.
At st. Louis the great food engrosses atten-
tion and interferes with trade. But at Kansas
City business seems healthy, though the
weather interferes with receipts of grain and
cattle. Business Is very good at Denver,
but still retarded by bad weather at
Little Rock and Memphis; improved .
little at Nashville, but very dull at Savannah.
Cotton strengthens at New Orleans, and there
Is a better feeling in business generally, while
sugar is in fair demand and rice steady. Specu-
lation In stocks during the past week has been
only fairly active. in part because selling of
securities on foreign account was discovered or
reported. and the movement of gold to Europe
has been resumed. About a million has been
engaged for shipment thus far, but the supply
of money abroad ia so abundant and the de-
mand In foreign countries so moderate that 1t
seems somewhat improbable that the drain
from this country WIN be large at any time this
season
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days, number,
for the United States. u.s. and for Canada 81, or
total OF 207; compared with 196 last
week and l92 the week previous to the last,
and PA for the correspOndino week of last wear.
