DUN,s REVIEW OF IRA AsE.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May OR. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review OF trade tomorrow will say:
Failures for the week have been 239 in the United
States against 21b last year and 20 against "a in
Canada last year. Continued exports of gold are
recognized as natural results of the borrowing and
importing early in The year, but caused no appre-
hension. There is a general conviction that de-
structive schemes will not succeed, although at
present political uncertainties cause part OF the
business that might be done TO be postponed until
the future is more clear. When the conventions
over the field for doubt will be much narrower.
Markets for products are weak, rather than stag
nant.

by the belief in large crops and inSuthcent de-
mand. Wheat has fallen cents. Cotton has

Is entirely inadequate, though prices OF these are

Lower quotations for bessemer and gray forge
and local coke at Chicago, with stoppage OF two
thirds of the furnaces in Virginia, some in
Pennsylvania and others in the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys, result from ability of manu-
facturers to sell at prices which their combina-
