DUN,s REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, n. Y, March 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly review of
trade Failures for two weeks of March cover abil-
tiles of Sc, 799, ,397 against $7372,4 All last year
Failures for the week were 26l in the United
States, against 27S last year, and 49 in Canada,
against 80 last year.
Movement toward better things is still the ex-
cept:on. There is better business in shoes and
small industries and there has been a squeezing
OF short sellers cotton but the general tendency
OF industries and prices is not encouraging and
those who were most hopeful a month ago are
still waiting, not so hopefully for the expected re-
covery.
DISTINCTIONS to recovery are not to be sought
either in the investment or the money market,
but in the industrial reaction, after the unnatural
expansion of demand and prices last year. 1t is
striking fact that the only great industry which is
rapidly gaining in business is the one in which
prices have been generally cut down to last years
lowest figures. The boot and shoe makers had
reason hesitation in the prices of leather, which
still average per cent higher than year ago,
though hides are 13 per cent lower, having again
declined the past week abou. per cent
Ii the manufacturers get narrow profits OF none
most of the works in operation. The woolen-ms
have different conditions and with prices already
reduced below last years lowest average and wool
s. 3 per cent higher than it was then they not
getting business to keep the works in operation.
Sales of wool were the smallest in any week for
years
the comment of the mills on rising cotton. Goods
now average lower than since May, 1895, having
declined AZ per cent for the week.
The iron industry shows but slight average de-
the highest prices of last year and the demand is
naturally curtailed. Quotations are deceptive be-
cause lower prices constantly made to secure
bus ness Minor metals change little, but alumni
mum quoted enormously last week sells at so
speculation in cotton hss caught short sellers in
trouble, and just because they thought prices
go lower the shorts are forced 10 put them up.
The market in wheat has been weak though
rather stagnant but the weight of facts is felt,
western receipts for three weeks of March have
been 1882 4sl bushels, against 1924 ,929 astyear
Atlantic exports, -four included, also de-
crease amounting 4,0S4 064 bushels for three
weeks against b.097 090 last year. The movement
of corn continues very large and prices have
declined 1c for cash. oublesome feature of the
situation is the stringency in commercial loans.
not because OF scarcity of money, but because
banks are disturbed by failures of some import
ance.

Mr.. Reed,s PoIiteness.

General credence is not give to the story
of the remark attributed TO George Wash
ington that he would not be outdone in
poiiteness by negro" Nevertheless, says
the Baltimore Sun, it is story that goes.
and it evidently has been taken to heart
by Thomas Reed.
One day last week Mr.. Reed was saunter-
ing along fashionable uptown street dur
ing calling hours while ladies were alight-
ing in droves from their carriages. Two
colored brothers, decidedly the worse look
ing for wear, and belonging to the faction
which, by casting from ten to twenty-five
votes apiece, recently secured the election
of Reed delegate from this district to the
National Republican Convention, were
hanging around watching the scene. As
Mr.. Reed was passing they tugged at the
battered remnants of hats surmounting
their pates and said: "How do, Mr..
Speaker"
Instantly :he hand of the Speaker was
elevated, his hat was removed clean from
his head, his body was bent forward in a
bow deep and profound, and the habi.ual
cynical smile which plays around his lips
melted into one of extreme cordiality as
he replied: "Good morning, gentlemen"
