The weekly review of trade today will
say:
The gain In business continues, not
without fluctuations, aud at the best
moderate, but yet distinct. Ii is still
in quantities rather than prices, although
in some branches an advance in prices
appear, but on the Whole the number
OF hands employed, the volume of new
orders and the amount OF work done, are
slowly increasing. Pros poets OF good
crops of wheat and corn help; growing de-
mand from dealers hose stocks gradually

an influence. Money coming hither from
the West even as Late as June 10, with
great crops near at hand, indicates

tions OF the volume of business are
seen in clearing house exchanges, which

future is TO be sought in accounts OF re-
tail distribution. Failures for the week
ending June show liabilities OF 81 ,974,-

ing, S1.174,769. Failures for the week
have been 262, against 246 last year.

trade. Business is better than year ago
The volume is larger and there are more

TIE movement OF merchandise In the past
five months has been disappointing, but
iobbers are beginning TO report fair orders
for fail delivery. The encouraging features
announced this week are the improvement
in May railroad earnings and the advance
in Besemer pig iron. although he latter
