New York, April 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, which
issues tomorrow, will say:
Progress toward better business con-
tinues. but it is slow and meets many
obstacles. In speculative aspects and
in wholesale demand for goods the
week shows improvement. Money
markets are undisturbed, and little
more active, but among the chief OBJ
stacles is the anxiety of operatives TO
secure better wages even while many
manufacturing works are running
without profit and others at the risk
of loss. In a number of establish
ments better wages have been conced-
ed. thus increasing the purchasing
power Of the people, but strikes have
largely overbalanced settlements, sew
eral of Importance having about $4,000
workers out of employment this week.
| Retail trade has improved on the
whole since March as the approach of
Easter brings more business, but dis
tribution to individual consumers still
! lage behind purchases Of jobbers and
such demand for products as springs
| from building and other investments
/ looking into the future. Crop pros
poets will greatly affect the course III
/ trade for some months, and the gov
eminent report had little influence to
! discourage. For consumers the worst
feature is the rapid advance in meats.
For the first time in a long period
prices of commodities average a shade
| higher than a year ago.
The output of pig iron April l was
15S.132 tons weekly, practically the
same as March /, with a decrease OF
/ / .0SO tons in unsold stocks during the
month. Doubtless heavy stocks were
taken up by manufacturers in antici-
patton of a strike in coke works, but
| the apparent consumption is larger
| than any other time for some months
and only a sixth less in March, 1892
! Bessemer iron has advanced a little
! further to S10.75 at Pittsburg, but
| there is no change whatever in prices
of finished products during the week.
1t seems probable the pig iron must
| recede unless a larger demand for nm
/ ished products is soon developed.
Sales of wool are particular interest
! ing. amounting for the week to $751;
! ZUU pOunuS.
No Improvement in prices appears,
and domestic wool does not respond to
recent advances in foreign markets.
The low price encouraged manufact-
urers to compete much more vigor-
ously with the foreign goods of many
kinds than they had expected and Tor
the medium and cheaper grades OF
goods they have more than the usual
demand. because purchases OF consum-
ers have for two years been compare

year.
New York. April J2.-Agents have
advanced the price of Amoskeak sta
pie fancy ginghams to five cents. The

ment request for seasonable special
