TRADE CONDITIONS ARE FAIR.
Some Drawback Features Are Reported
by Dun, but tho Outlook
ia Not Rad

some DraWDh fehtures Are hepOTtcu
by Dun, but the Outlook
is Not Bad.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade" says;
Railroads have felt the effects Of long
and severe winter and now have a belated
and irregular spring to retard movements OF
merchandise. Labor controversies cause
less disturbance, but still some apprehen.
sion. In the great industries there is evil
dence that the volume of business is quite
well maintained for the season, but not so
much evidence of its continuance,
The iron output April was 1868 tons
weekly, against l76,97S last month, and
1856, 462 year ago, but stocks were reduced
during the month at the rate Of 4500 tons
weekly, so that actually consumption ap-
pears larger than a year ago. Pig iron is
steady, though Bessemer is rather weak.
Coal has stronger look, though the out.
put for the year is nearly 100000 tons
greater than last year, The movement OF
wool is small and falls below last years,
with mach uncertainty about future prices
but mills are well employed as yet.
The outlook for iron at Pittsburg is not so
bright but the glass trade Is fairly good, Trade
at Cleveland is good in manufactured iron,
ana AT Cincinnati foundries are active and
trade in woodwork increasing. At nearly
all points, both North and South collections
are rather slow for the season, with some
what active demand for money at most
points.
The business failures during the last
seven days number for the United States,
1877, and for Canada, 90 total of 200, as
compared with total of 223 last week and
1874 the week previous to the last For the
corresponding week of last year, the figures
were 226, representing l9l failures in the
United States and 35 in Canada.
