A GAIN IN THF WEST.
The Trade Situation Has Changed
But Very Little.

D"N ht'
X. e.. Dun &Co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade says: In some quarters business
gains at the west rather than at the east.
but there is no general change for the bet
ter, although hopeiulnesS still predomi-
mates. The want OF sufficient demand for
the products of great industries still re-
tardS actual Improvement. Strikes OF
some importance in garment making and
kindred lines affect trade in Chicago anG
Baltimore, but there are fewer labor diff
cultieS than usual.
Wheat has taken a flight upward, adj
vancing 3l4c for cash and 2%,c for May,
with rumors for foreign supplies as the
only basis. Estimates Of wheat in farm
erS' hands are lawer than last year, but
still indicate with visible stocks, a supply
much beyond probable needs.
The market for textile goods is disap-
pointing. Material reductions in cottons
have not brought out the needed demand,
and the further decline in brown Sheet
ings this week to A., cents corresponds
with reports that mills Of some importance
may prefer to arrest production for a time
unless demand improves.
Wooden mills are receiving considerable
orders for spring goods. but business fol
the future does not mend.
