NEW YORK, May 2s.-R. G. DUN a.
Co. 3 weekly review of trade, published
this morning, says:
In two ways thore has been quite general i'm,
provement during the past week. Bettcs
weather throughout most OF the country haa
stimulated retail trade. and the large distribu-
tlon OF goods has made jobhing trade more
active Monetary anxieties have curiously
abated- and in many widely-separated points
large loans solicited here a week or two ago to
provide for extreme emergencies IN different
cities have not been wanted, and threatening
failures at various points have passed without
causing much disturbance. Yet the actual
conditions do not seem 10 have changed mate
really. Gold is still going out. and s2.00O,001
more vas shipped yesterday The treasury
reserve Is again reduced below the $780, 600 900
limit The large demand for rediscounts and
advances by western and southern banks,
though considerably abated, has been greater
than the eastern banks could wholly meet.
There Is no definite improvement In financial
auairS abroad, and the prospects OF contin-
ned outgo OF gold for some time to come
mas not altered Speculative markets show
comparatively little activity. Stocks have
iaIlen on TO some extent from the rapid recov-
cry OF last week, the average being about 81
per share lower than a week ago. Wheat and
corn are both at just about the same price as
week ago, although western receipts OF wheas
In four days have been 90. 123 bushels and At
lantic exports 1,036.597 bushels, and corn re-
eeipts have been very large. with insignificant
exports Mess pork is 25 cents higher but
other hog products shade lower and while
conee advanced half a cent, oil declined cent.
natural decline is seen in dairy products and
potatoes. Cotton is also an eighth lower al
though the receipts have been smaller and the
exports larger than for the same week last
year, but the enormous stocks in sight are not
diminishing moro than is usual at this season.
Boston reports improvement with better
weather in retail and better jobbing In dry
goods, the collections are short, and steady
market for staple cottons. the decline having
been checked, and woolens rather quiet, though
more demand from clothiers is seen. Other
trade has improved. The outlook for pig iron
Is better at Pittsburgh, and some finished
products are In better demand, but prices
very low. At Cincinnati stringency
tossens and retail trade improves with
the weather. At Cleveland rolled prod
ucts are in large demand, but prices weak, col
lections poor and money close. indianapolis
report money tight. At Detroit prospects are
less bright than last year, but collections have
somewhat improved. Chicago reports i'm
provement with better weather which favors
bank accommodations sparing. At Milwaukee
manufacturers are busy and the jobbing trade
greater than year ago. but money is close.
AT Minneapolis the financial furry has abated.
1obbing trade and collections are fair, with
good lumber trade, but small sales of
flour. St Paul reports seeding mostly COM
pleted. fair 1obbing trade, but slow collections.
st. Louis notes steady and satisfactory jobbing
and fair collections Bankers are extremely
conservative and much money has gone out to
other western cities At ST. Joseph the grocery
trade Is good and dry goods In fair demand At
Omaha the dry goods, groceries and hardware
trades are good, but at Denver bad weather
makes trade quiet. Business at Nashville is
Improving. but ut other points at the south
business is quiet, and nearly all collections are
slow and money somewhat close. Mobile re-
ports large shipment Of early vegetables, and
New Orleans bright outlook in building
trades, though the breaking of levees will seri-
ously affect northern Louisiana. Imports are
still large, for three weeks in May exceeding
last years by nearly 5000 900. but exports have
somewhat increased and for three weeks show
a slight gain. Money on call is cheap and
abundant and loans time for commercial
needs are made with some dif1culty and spar
ingly.

days number, for the United States. 259; Can
