Condition of Trade.

The slow and gradual improvement
during the past week and without
material check Some cloak makers in
New York and the ore handlers at one
yard in Cleveland have struck, and the
Lake iron mines are quite generally re-
ducing wages, no agreement for the
coming year as to prices of ore having
been reached, but the aggregate force
employed in all industries has still
somewhat increased. There is better
demand for most products on the
whole, with continuance of speculative
buying in some, notably in wool, be-
cause of expected duties. Meanwhile
money markets continue as easy and
undisturbed as if there had never been
anxiety about the gold reserve, and
fairly large sales of stocks on London
account during the week, possibly be-
cause of international anxieties, have
made no percephble difference in
American markets. An extended re-
view OF building IN New Ork Tor seven
years discloses strong reasons for con-
fidence in the real estate market. The
report of failures for February by
branches of business shows slightly
larger average of liabilities in manu-
featuring branches than in previous
years, but there is abundant evidence
of the prevailing caution in purchases
in the fact that failures of traders show
decreased liabilities.
