January 1-Hope OF . Strong Revival .
little Later still Cherished.
New YORK. Jan. 12.-R G. Dun e.
Co.'s weekly review of trade Saturday
says:
Neither the beginning of the new
year nor the failure of the currency
bill has caused material change in bus
iness as yet. The idea that business
would suddenly take new start after
the holidays had rather less founda-
ton even than usual, but the hope of a
strong revival a little later is still
cherished by many. The currency
bill, with possibilities of various
amendments, was source of appre.
hension to some, but with that out of
the way the deficiency of treasury re-
ceipts remains and exports of gold do
not cease. There has not been much
time for change in the industries, but
differences observed since the new
year began are not in the direction of
higher prices or larger demand. There
are more indications than of late that
stocks of different kinds of good have
been accunulating in consequence of
past increase in production.
Failures for the first three days of
the year were rather large. as is nat
ural, with liabilities of S1.622, oO3. of
which s266, ,331 were of manufacturing
and S1,347,272 of trading concerns.
Failures this week are 42O in the United
States, against 474 last year, and 54 in
Canada, against 81 last year"
New YORK, Jan. 12.-Bradstreet's
Saturday says:
1.-THE second week of the new year
brings few reports of an increased
volume of orders for seasonable goods.
Whether conditions in the east have
been unfavorable, those west and
south and in the central west are re-
ported fairly satisfactory, or improv-
ing to n greater extent than for thirty
days previously. Confidence of whole
sale dealers in staple lines that the
near future in business promises in
creased activity, with an upward ten
dency in quotations, is pronounced at
some cities-Pittsburgh Philadelphia
and Boston at the east, Atlanta, jack
sonville. Chattanooga and Galveston
south, and at Cleveland, Chicago, Oma-
ha and St. Louis in the west.
Each of these, except Cleveland, re-
ports moderately improved condition
of business this week, as does Mil
waukee. At other points general trade
is quiet, unchanged and without fea-
ture.
