TRADE REVIEW.
Condition and General Outlook of
The Prospects of the Country.

The Prospects OF the country
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says: President Cleveland's
decision about the redemption of legal
tenders, all admit, has arrested what
threatened TO prove serious disaster.
Gold exports have ceased, sterling ex-
change has fallen to $4.S7 IL; some
gold has gone into the treasury from
Boston and other cities and the rate
for money has declined from 10 to
1-2 per cent.
The failure Of the Pennsylvania
Iron and Steel company has arrested
what improvement had appeared IN
the iron business, while the wooden
and cotton industries grow more un-
satisfactory.
Reports from all parts of the coun,
try indicate that trade has been much
retarded by bad weather and the I'M
settled money markets, and complaints
of poor collections are general.
Trade is good and building supplies
active at Baltimore, but money is
tight. At st. Louis jobbing trade is
very good, collections free and money
in greater demand. Southern orders
are small, but cotton seed is in good
demand for replanting. AT points in
Tennessee trade is generally sluggish
and collections small. AT Montgom-
cry and Atlanta some improvement is
seen, but at Charleston trade is dull.
New Orleans reports fair trade with
special activity in real estate and build
ing materials, but there and at most
other southern points. collections are
slow. A great part of the cotton crop
has been killed, and the signs of in
dustrial depression affect the purchas
es of millions.
The failure of the Pennsylvania
Steel company causes much depres-
sion and makes it harder for other
iron concerns to obtain accommoda-
tons, especially in rails, because it is
doubtful when the receivers can re-
new the compact of makers, which
expires July 1. Trade in pig iron is
waiting, and the consumption of man
ufactured products does not encour-
age the hope Of better prices, though
in plates there is more inquiry from
ship yards and in bar from car build
ers. Structural iron is in demand
throughout the country, but at low
prices.

last week number for the United
States PIG, Canada %; total 23S

This shows a gratifying increase on

item Is the statement of the librarian
that out of 1916 books circulated
among them, only 1901, or so per
cent, were works Of fiction; works
Of literature, biography, travel, history
and railroads, follow in order Of pop

circulation of city libraries is about 80

Few people have any idea Of the
immense animal population of Great
Britain. According to the last return
of the Board of Trade there were In
tho United Kingdom nearly 1000, 900
horses, about lo,ooo,oo cattle, more
than so, 900, 900 sheep, and something
like 100000 pigs. As regards the
first item, this was the number used
by agriculturists alone. The number
OF horses used for carriage purposes
in towns, regarding which we have
no particulars. must be enormous.
The value of this property is estimated
at about 81, 25O, 900, 900.
