: DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

New York, January 24.-R G. Dun d
Cos weekly review of trade, which is
sues tomorrow, will say:
The week has been marked by i'm
provement, apparent rather than real.
Prices Of some products have risen, but
only because supplies are believed 20
be smaller than was expected. Ihe
Senate still injuries all business by do
ing nothing and the treasury cannot eX-
pect to gain in gold as yet, but loses
less than was expected. II is generally
assumed that the new loan VIII be
placed without difficulty, though the
successive payments may cause cont-n-
ued disturbance.
A deluge of foreign reports favor
able to wheat speculation found ready
answer in an advance of over cents
here, in spite Of western receipts so per
cent. larger than last year. Atlantic
exports for the week were also much
larger than last year for the first time
in several months, but for the crop
year to date all exports have been about
II 100000 bushels smaller than last
year The market has the idea that
foreign demand hereafter must be much
greater because of deficient supplies
elsewhere, but no one eXpec,s that the
increase VIII be at all CONNER surate
with the enormous increase in western
rece. pts, 27 per cent, since the crop
year began, 81 500, 900 bushels, against
107 9S6,11 last year.
Corn advanced because wheat ad-
vanceG, receipts and exports continuing
as before.
While thirteen furnaces in the Pitts
burg region have stopped since January
1, the demand for products of iron has
not on the whole increased, partly be
cause the bar, nail and raj associations
have all refused to lower prices. Minor
metals are all weak.
The failures for the week have been
373 in the United States, against 1868
last year, and 81 in Canada, against 50
last year.
