WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

The New Year 1t ads OF With Good Bust
ness Prospects
NEW YORK, Jan. G.-R. q. Dun e Co. IS
weekly review of trade says The business
of the year opens well, though there has
hardly been time as yet tog get fairly under
way. In some branches OF manufacturing
there is very conservative feeling owing
to general confidence. In every part of the
country ami apparently in almost every
branch of business, the traders are looking
forward to a year of large transactions.
But in finsncial circles the year opens with
a considerable feeling Of uncertainty, owing
to the revival Of gold exports, which will be
about 81, 900, 600 for the current week, and
TO he doubts about the action of Congress.
The annual reports of various branches of
trade come in with fresh evidence of the
unsurpassed prosperity and volume of bust
ness in 1892 but cast no clear light upou
tho future, which depends in large degrees
upon monetary Influences.
The year starts well at Boston, and job
bling trade in dry goods is more active the
advance in price OF cottons well maintained,
and the woolen mills full OF orders, notably
fer blankets. Trade in shoes is steady and
the factories well employed. Business III
leather and In wool is more active, and in
y
ever known in textile manufactures leaves
the full production OF most of the mills sold
for months ahead, and the new year opens
with great strength in woo!lens and cot
tons.
a large demand is seen for black goods,
especially unfinished worsteds and the mills
on spring orders for cottons. In knit goods
there is much business already in the lower
grades, and carpets arc strong. Above all
monetary uncertainties, the enormous de-
msnd for textile fabrics appears to give an
assured future for some months TO manu-
| facture aud trade in those branches.

seven days, as reported to r. e. Dun a
