DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Price Of Wheat Still Lower--Thc Busi-
ness Failures and Liabilities For
the Week.


Bv the Associated Press
New YORK. June 2.--R G.. Dun g. Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says:
1t is sign Of cheering import that in
finished business. represented by clear
ings and railway tonnage. there has been
less decrease since the strike began than
might have been expected. Meanwhile
the consequent interruption Of traffic and
industry increases.
The stoppage OF iron furnaces between
the Allegheny mountains and the Mis-
sissippi river has become complete, and .
great number OF concerns manufacturing
iron and others requiring soft coal or coke
for fuel have been forced to stop. Busi-
ness cannot increase in volume under
such circumstances. and payments
through ALI clearing houses for two
weeks show = decrease compared with
last year. Hesitation OF buyers and can
collation. Of some OF the scanty orders al
ready given, make the outl ook for textile
manufactures less encouraging.
Concessions in cotton goods have not
improved the market nor prevented ac-
cumulations. In woolem, the dress goods
mills have fair orders, and In mems goods
it is held that fully half the machinery is
unemployed, while cancellations are
numerous, without effort TO place new
orders.
The Wool Market.
Sales of wool at three chief markets
have been 8, 5s4. 900 pounds for the week,
against 2,766. 900 last year, about 5000, 900
week being required from those markets
for full supply. New fine territory and
Texas wool has sold at 8 to 8 cents, and
80 to 80 cents cleaned appears to be about
the ruling price, but at Boston demoral-
ization makes prices nominal
Again the lowest price ever re-
corded has been made for cash wheat,
SO IA cents at New York, against rs cents
a year ago. while the average in May,
1892 was % cents, and In April, 1891,
81. .1e Ia. Western receipts are naturally
small, only 1.Y5S, ,s64 bushels foy the week,
against 2.9l9, 500 last year, but Atlantic
exports were only S07. 500 bushels, against
x,24l, 900 last year.
Cotton has varied little, though re-
ceipts from plantations have fallen of,
for stocks in sight are very large. a new
crop for which prospects are decidedly
good is drawing near, and the demand
for goods is uncertain.
Liabilities reported In failures for the
fourth week of May were 81, 593. .0S7. and
for four weeks ending May "a. $ll, ,39 /, ,042.
of which "a, 445, 605 were of manufacture
ing and t5,s06, ,S9l of trading concerns.
Reports yet to come in may increase the
aggregate to l4,000.000 for the month.
Failures this week have been lS3 in the
United States, against 23s last year. and
q in Canada, against u last year. Only
two failures, both banking. are for
tl00, 900 or more.
