WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YoRK.-Bradstreet trade review says:
With few exceptions the leading features OF
the business situation the past week have been
those OF continued moderate improvement
although the total volume OF business will re-
quire considerable expansion TO compare
favorably with corresponding totals two years
ago. This relatively favorable bank clearing
report is Offset In part by decline IN prices OF
staples, coffee alone scoring n slight advance.
Nearly all the more important business CEN
ters west and northwest report moderate
activity, but few OF them announce any new
features. Conditions prevailing at Cleveland;
Cincinnati, Louisville, Detroit, Milwaukee ana
St. Paul in preceding weeks are practically
without change. The production OF iron and
OF Bessemer steel continues as heavy as here
toforc, and quotations have been further
shaded. Lard Is lower in price and the pros
pect for cessation OF textile labor difficulties at
the east has weakened the print cloth market
AS serious as any decrease Is that in cotton.
NEW YoRK.--Dun's weekly review OF trade
says: Cotton below &c and wheat below 55c, in
New York City, each lower than ever since
present classiilcations were known: exports of
gold instead OF products at such prices In
October. were the salient features in business
last week. Distribution OF goods TO consumers
goes on fairly, with gains at nearly all points
in comparison with last year, but far below
that OF 1892, and not yet at rate to sustain the
the present volume OF manufacturing produc-
ton, so that prices have weakened. With
many features of announcement business has
not yet reached expectations and IL Is evident
that the loss OF part OF the corn crop and the
unnaturally low prices OF other great staples
affects the buying power Of millions. Domestic
exports from New York IN two weeks OF October
were IS per cent less In value than last year,
while the increase IN value of imports has been
"a per cent. With this heavy increase. in
purchases, and decrease in sales nf
products abroad the market for foreign OK
change is in n position to be quickly affected
by Withdrawals OF capital or apprehensions re-
Rarding the future peace OF Europe. It appears
that three New York trust companies now
hold over 80. 100000 Idle money and that east
ern mill loans are being taken from New York
by New England banks, while the northwest
ern demand for money Is unusually small. The
treasury Is again falling backward in reserve
and large imports yield less revenue
than last year. while the internal revenue for
a year ago. During the past week the failures
have been 2b3 in the United states against 3i1
last year, and AZ IN Canada against - last year.
