DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, n. Y. June 5-R. g. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade will
Failures for the week were 234 in the United
States against 1876 last year, and % in Canada
against 25 last year. 1t is highly suggestive that,
with as little help there is now from new busi-
ness, markets are so nearly maintained. The
opinion gains ground that more new business is to
be expected after the conventions have been held
and the safety and sufficiency of crops have been
assured.
The decline in wheat and cotton has helped mar
ketlng the surplus, so that exports have been more
liberal. Estimates entitled TO most confidence
point TO probable yield of 500 600 600 bushels of
W heat, which. with the stock carried over, will
clear any danger of oppressive charges for bread
stufs, at the same time giving producers fair re-
turn.
Estimates of cotton acreage by the best authori-
ties indicate a crop Of 0,000000 bales. The
movement of cattle at the West Is very heavy-at
Chicago 10 per cent greater than last year thus
far: and lard makes q new low record, with
numerous stocks accumulated. Even fair crops
will mean better business for railroads, which re-
port earnings Tor May thus far only 2.6 per cent
more than last year.
The boot and shoe industry is still the most
active. The hardest problem of the day is whe her
iron and steel prices Can be maintained as they
have during the past week. The nail associations
have failed thus far to win over competitors who
undersell them and are able to manufacture
rs, 600 kegs against every 100000 by concerns in
the ombnation. 4 he bar association asks for
iron more than the selling price of steel bars.
Open hearth billets are more freely sold at
Pittsburg below the price asked for beSSemer and
middlemen are still selling bessemer billets about
81 below the price fixed by the pool. Naturally
the doubt regarding maintenance of prices greatly
checks the demand for the present, but belief that
a much larger demand is certain and will not long
be delayed is the one thing which prevents con-
siderable decline.
The textile manufacturers are b halting with some
co ton goods reduced still further in prices and
ginghams to the lowest point ever known, while
no increase appears in he demand. Sales Of wool
still fall below half the quantity required for full
consumption, and prices d ave further declined.

The Daneerous Blue Heron.

"Some of these days." said the long.
shore hunter, 81 expect to open my daily
paper and see a headline something like
this, Killed by Blue Heron and I'll tell
you why. The blue heron IS big, power
full bird, which has already badly disfg-
urad the faces of several men. The men
have wounded bird, and then, thinking
to capture it alive, they went up to it.
Why, I'd as soon try to kiss wounded
grizzly. The birds grow as tall as feet
and have necks like a fishrod and Just the
kind of muscles to move it quickest with
the most strength. They could drive their
bill points through quarter-inch panel.
"The hunter goes up to the bird and sees
it lying there looking as innocent as a
robin, with only wing broken. What a
tine pet it would make" the fool hunter
thinks. Then he picks the bird up and
starts for home in wagon or boat. with
the bird between his knees. The bird s
neck is drawn back like letter s. All
of a sudden the bill shoots up and gives
the man a cash alongside the eye three
inches long, That is what always has
happened. The wounded bird has missed
