"RRapsrREET's" REvixw OF TRADE
NEW YoRK. April 30 -Bradstrees's review
of trade tomorrow will say: With the ex-
ception of the prospect for . still further
extension of strikes and other labor dis
turbances no plainly rstarding influence il
manifesfine itsel.. So far as learned there
are about twenty-three additional strikes,
involving 5000 people. This brings the
total number of those now on strike, or
idle because Of strikes, up to 60.000. The
week also shows eleven shut-downs of i'm.
portant industrial establishments. which
lie moro than an OBJECT to the resumption
of thirty-two others. which furnish en-
pIoyment to 5000 operatives, although
seven important establishments announce
reductions of wages. The widely heralded
announcement that 200. 00O coal miners will
strike today has occasioned uueasiness
among manufacturers at many central.
Western and Eastern cities owing to tho
prospective scarcity of fuel. Cities along
the line of the Great Northern road, which
road 10 now at q staudstill becau 80 of
strikes OF employees. are finding their re.
duced volumes Of business still further
curtailed, and at Chicago labor troubles
seriously affect the building trades.
Exports of wheat (dour included) from
DO h coasts this week amount to 3,0l9 900
bushels, a gain of IS per cent. over last
week. In like week last year the total
expectation was 3,07i, COO; two years ago,
3, i07, 900 bushels, and six years ago il was
2, -, 900 bushels.
At Omaha trade Is improving, due to
the revival of farm work following the
good rains throughout Nebraska, which
was TO be expected.
No material change Is reported at Chi
cago or Sc. Louis. the volume of business
in staples being more than the average.
pUS's REVIEW OF TRADE
SKw York. April 20 Orders for future
distribution are still materially restricted
by uncertainty about action at Washing
ton City and the outcome of labor dir
Geuities. Most of the recovery realized in
business has made possible by consent of
the workers To aecept lower wages for a
time. and II :hey insist on. restoration OF
wages before consumption has restored
prices many works must stop. Ex-
ports OF gold had some infiuence,
and continued loss in earnings
some. Some earnings for April thus far
show a decrease OF 1874 per cent against
iAi in February and 1874 IN March. De-
moraiizssion of Lake freights already d.
verts much bulky east-bound tonnage
from railroads, though the movement OF
other merchandise is well sustained
The failures OF the past week have been
more important than usual, but were 2i9
