Somewhat of an Improvement.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 17.--R. G. Dun's Weekly Review says:
 This has been a week of record breaking In wheat in silver. in some forms of iron and steel. in Conneilsvllle coke. and tn well known cotton and woolen goods, the lowest prices ever known have been made and it is gratifying that failures of importance have n)t resulted
 While no action affecting business prospects was taken at Washington the continued dis. cussion of revenue and monetary measures and the uncertainty regarding them have a con. stantly unfavorable influence, and indifferent markets have caused sudden fluctuations in prices
 Wheat at 60Nc is not only lower by 4hc than it was for a single day last year, but lower by tSJio than it had ever been in the previous seventy. seven years
 A visible supply of over 79,OO1.00) bushels February 10, with sales and receipts from arms continuing large has completely de- stroy ed faith in the official reports of the yield last year ant caused enormous liquidation. Receipts last week were Isio. .Si4 bushels against 29 l,0Is for the same week last year, but At lantic exports were only 959 962 bushels, against l,Ol3Ol5 last year, and the recent decrease in foreign demand has been an important factor. Some trust companies have arranged to sd vance money against wheat as collateral SC. ourity, but with results not as yet encouraging.
 Corn and other products fuctuated but little, though receipts of corn were large
 Cotton declined hc with increasing dstrust Of short crop estimate The receipts from plantations this week have been larger than a year ago and at no time enough 10 support the idea that the crop Of 9I was about 6 COG, ,OO0 bales, which would mean that less than 3JO.oOo bales is yet to come into sight in over six months
 The slightest recovery in prices of iron prod ucts has not been maintained Bessemer pig has declined at Pittsburgh to si0 65 and grey forge to s9.65 and steel billets are sold below SIS there, while at Philadelphia most rolling mill products are lower than ever The decline is the most noteworthy because an increase in the demand is reported, both in eastern and western markets, especially in structural ai the west and here, where several large build ings are projected
 Textile industries do not seem to have gained thin the past week, for as many works have closed as have resumed work and in wooen and cotton manufactures rather more There has been Q sharp break in print cloths to 2a cents Some of the best known cottons have been put at the lowest price ever nude, and there is more talk of general closing of mills. The demand for woolen goods does not improve and sales of wool decreased sharply after the brisk activity two weeks ago being only 4, ll4,. s9l pounds for the week. Though some grades are Scarce anu prlCcS FeiubiFSy niSuOr NSSt than here the markets do not advance
 Exports of merchandise were about siOO0Oo smaller for the week than last year. and for six weeks the increase has been only ss 100, OOo, or 7H per cent, but imports last week were little more than half as large as last year; and for the year thus far the decrease is about 32 per cent
 Failures for the week have been 323 in the United States against lE last year, and 5S in Canada against Se last year. Though several were of some magnitude the aggregate of lia. bilities was apparently below the weekly aver age for JanuDry
