TR END OF TRADE.
r. G. Dan 81 Co.'s Weekly Review Of tn,
Markets.

Business of all kinds is hesitating
until more can be determined about
the future, and meanwhile orders
which will keep hands at work for
time are given and accepted, this week
increasing, as in some others decreas-
ing, without aflording reasonable indi.
cations for the future. The glutted
money markets continue to show that
the volume of business is still made.
quate to employ the circulation avail
able. The volume of domestic trade
does not seem to increase. Cotton
trading, the receipts from plantations
still exceeding those of last year, but
the exports showed a relatively large
increase, while Ellison reports foreign
consumption nearly full. Takings of
northern spinners since January
have been SO per cent smaller than
last years TO date. A further decline
in silver takes the price below the low.
est previous record, and is partly due
to heavy shipment from New York
during the week. The treasury de.
felt in February is somewhat smaller
than in January, for though customs
receipts do not enlarge and for the
month thus far are SO per cent less
than year ago, the internal revenue
for the month shows some increase
over last year.
Industrial changes have been few,
but little better demand for some
textile goods has started more mills
than have stopped.
There is better feeling in fancy
cottons, though some goods are shade
lower. Wooden dress goods are
steady, with a fair demand. and
though orders for heavy woolens and
worsteds are light, they are little
better, some agents having made fair
progress. A larger demand gives en-
oouragement in iron and steel manu-
facture and increases the output of
mills, though it is yet only so or 60
per cent of their capacity. Prices of
commodities now average about Ia
per cent more than a month ago, but
III per cent lower than year ago,
and excepting this year have never
been as low on the whole as they are
now.
The failures during the past week
numbered in the United States 2SS,
against 1913 last year, and in Canada
fifty one, against lhirty-one last year.

According to resolutions adopted at
