FAVORABLE REVIEWS
TRADE CONDITIONS CONTINUE To
SHOW STEADY IMPROVEMENT.
Both Dun & Co. and Bradstreet Dis
Better Outlook for the Future

NEW YORK, April 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say: Returns showing
the condition of retail trade in
March throughout the country and the
distribution of goods of final comparison
with same month in 1894 and 1893 give graf
flying evidence that in most trades and dis
tricts marked Improvement over 1894 is real
lied. though on the whole trade is smaller
than in 1893 Everywhere, also, the occur
renee of Easter in March last year. but in
April this year, is found to account for
much difference in the volume Of retail
trade in quantities of goods sold While
larger than last year, the volume, on the
whole, is smaller than in 1893 The main
difference in comparison with 1898 is found
in the general decline of prices which
makes trade in value smaller even where it
is clearly large or larger in quantity
Accounts from the chief centers of whole
sale trade are also encouraging this week.
There is not only hopeful spirit, but real
gain in business, though not equally dis
tributed geographically or as to branches OF
trade The best news from the industries
avoided, Mahoning iron and Eastern wool
en- mills being again active. Next in i'm
portanee is the better demand for many
manufactured products, which gives greater
reason to hope that recent advances from
the bottom may prove successful
Following the rise in coke there have been
this week sales of 100000 tons lake ore at
about 15c advance, and finished products
are no longer inactive, Bessemer iron rising
to $10.65, grey forge to 1926, common bar to
s5c, structural angles to $1.W and plates
81 per ton. Chicago shares in the rise and
the Illinois Steel Company has achieved a
notable success in taking the contract for
steel plates for ship yards at Newport
News. Eastern works gain more slowly,
Notwithstanding the low price of anthracite
coal. The production of Connellsville coke
for the weekI6S,101 tons-was the largest
on record, but there is some fear that
higher coke and ore may close some works
Copper is firmer, sales of the stock
taken from the French syndicate removed
a load over the market for the past six
years, and the tin has been stronger with
tin plates because of purchases for Pacific
Gamers.
The cotton manufacture, once stimulated
by the rise in raw cotton, goes on gaining,
though cotton has halted Better demand
appears for many qualities, and in some
slight advances in prices. Sales of wool re-
fleet the renewed confidence of manufac-
turers, as strikes are out of the way for
6,675,10O pounds We're sold last week, against
4,64S,200 last year. No rise in prices is
seen or expected in view of heavy sales and
receipts of foreign wool.

Bradstreers Trade Review.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow, will say: The appearance of more
settled weather, together with the an
nounced increase in prices for Bessemer
pig iron and steel billets, continued strength
of cotton, stimulating manufacturers to de-
mand higher prices for fall delivery; rains
in Northwestern wheat regions where
greatly needed, further increase in wages
of Industrial employees, heavier shipments of
wheat abroad and the rush Of the volume
of the weeks bank clearings above the ST.

cles and returning confidence in many lines
of business. The list of increases of quota
with prospect for further advances, one
result being extremely firm views of MAX
ers of shoes; cut meats at Western points
as well as for cattle and Bessemer pig iron
and steel billets 80 cents per ton, which
result in better demand for car, wagon and

Some New England cotton manufacturers

have cheap raw material to meet the con-
tracts. Wool and wooden industries report
less activity, but the improved prospect in
iron and steel. and advances in petroleum

activity in the building trades. are having
an influence: Exports Of wheat, flour in

George Dixon and Young Critic DO a
Turn at Coney Island.

Conpy lsland, n. y, Jan. 21.-A
twenty-five round contest between
George Dixon, the "Colored Wonder :,
and Young Critic, was the big
event of last nights program. AT III
o'clock the men shook hands. Both
men seemed evenly matched ana
blows were rapidly exchanged,
throughout the entire contest. but they
did not seem to do much damage. IN
the nineteenth Critic looked tribe
weak and his blows lacked steam. In
the last round both men started to
slug, but their blows were light. Crit
fo smashed Dixon hard on the jaw
and again on the nose. Just as the
gong sounded Critic got to Dixon's
bad eye. The crowd yelled "Griffo,
CRITIC" bu; the referee decided the
fight draw.
