WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
The Volume OF business shows Noteworthy
Increases i'm Many Lines.

Increases i'm Many Lines.
New YORK. April 20-Bradstreet's
to-day SAYS: The volume of general
trade has maintained the previous
weeks proportions, and at some points
shows noteworthy increases. as COM
pared with the total a year ago. The
reaction in petroleum prices appears to
have been overcome and the tendency
is again upward, based on a drop in
stocks from about 1000. 900 barrels of
PENNSYLVANIA oil in January, 1894, to
less than 1000. OOO barrels of merchant
able oil. So marked and rapid has
been the appreciation in price of petro-
leum that speculation in it has been
excited.
Further advances in quotations are
noted also for wheat, on improved de-
mand for export; cotton, on wide
consumption. present and prospective;
print cloths and other cotton goods,
because of higher raw cotton; Besse-
mer pig iron. on the increase of cost of
ore, coke and labor, and shoes and
leather. on the further stiffening Of
values of hides. The upward turn of
prices for dressed beef and live cattle
has been maintained. Coffee is lower.
as are lard and oats. but Indian corn
and pork remain steady at last closing
quotations. Wool is barely steady, as
consumers are waiting the new crop
before buying.
Exports of wheat from both coasts of
the United States this week, flour in
cluded as wheat. show third weekly
gain in succession. with the total
amounting to 3.lG5, 900 bushels, against
1884 900 bushels last week, 3.Ol9, 900
bushels in third week of April, 1894;
3,963.OOO bushels in the like week of
1898: 3.107, 900 bushels in 1892. and as
contrasted with ., 30, 900 bushels in the
corresponding week four years ago.

WASHINGTON. April 20.-Officials and
diplomats regard the answer of Lord
Kimberly to Nicaragua as bringing
the British Nicaraguan question to n
critical stage. The ultimatum ex-
pired two days ago. Under these
circumstances it is considered set
tied that Great Britain will now
proceed TO collect the debt. as
it is viewed from the British stand
point. The fact that Great Britain's
exercise of force will not be exerted so
as to affect the United States inter
ests is indicated by the fact that neither
the state department nor Sir Julian
Pauncefote has been notified of Lord
Kimberly's response. 1t is said such
notification would be given if United
