Trade REVIEW.
Business Situation According to Dun ami

Bradstreet.
New York. March 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
cit must yet be broadly stated that bust
ness appears to improve only in prospect,
and in the confidence on which future
transactions may he based, but not as yet
IN actual sales accomplished. The indus
tries all report a slightly lower range of
prices. except for iron and steel products.
The demand for no class of iron products
is at this time brisk, but large structural
business is expected in the spring, and there
is still much hopefulness about railroad
orders, as earnings continue to improve
The reports of the boot and shoe interest
are not on the whole more encouraging
this week, shipments from the east being
still nearly ~ per cent less than last year.
but there was no further decline in prices
No important change appears in the leather
market. and hides are somewhat weaker.
Failures for the week have been 2S5 in
the United States. against PA last year,
and 6S in Canada, against IS last year.
The volume of business reflected by
clearing house exchanges is not materially
improving, the weeks returns showing a
gain of only SO per cent. over last year.
and a decrease of l7.6 per cent. in COM
parison with the same week of 1888
Bradstreet-s says:
General trade began the week relatively
less favorably; with the change from high
winds and extreme cold which checked
trading 70 milder weather. increased pur-
ehases and brighter prospects for bust
ness have appeared. Makers of wooden
goods report spring trade over fall trade
not yet begun and much men s-wear WOODEN
machinery idle. Iron and steel have had
an unsatisfactory demand and prices of
billets and southern pig are shaded. There
are also reductions in quotations for cot
ton. print cloths, petroleum. hides. and for
wheat, indian corn and oats. Mercantile
collections are generally unsatisfactory,
notably in Chicago, where there are more
complaints than for year past"
