TRADE REVIVAL MARKED AT SOME
POINTS AND MINUS AT
OTHERS,
MORE ACTIVITY AT ST. PAUL.
ING BETFER DEMAND FOR
STAPLES.
FAILURES ARE STILL FALLING OFF.
Marked Decrease Shown i'm the Total
for the Current Week-Dun
& Co.'s Review.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: The most conspic-
uous Improvement in trade conditions
this week is in the weather throughout
the Central, Western and Northwestern
states, where country roadways arc
more passable. There is better de-
mand for building materials, particu-
larly lumber. In staple lines there is
a more active request at Portland, Or;
Minneapolis, Mimi, and st. Paul,
Mimi; Kansas City, Mo-, and Atlanta,
Ca, pointing to irregularity in the ten
dency to recover. Jobbers at Chicago,
st. Louis, Omaha, Cincinnati and Chat
tanooga report trade slow or that the
demand Is decreased. There is no sign
Of trade revival in the flooded regions,
where the danger point has moved
southwark. If the water recedes by
May Is, one-half of the usual cotton
crop may be raised in Arkansas and
Mississippi this year, but the outlook
is not promising.
Demand for dry goods is slow, and
some manufactures remain at work
without profits, as the lesser of two
stocks are badly cut, but makers of
woolens are as active as before Shoe
manufacturers are working full time.
Iron and steel continue disappointing,
with lower prices for Bessemer pig and
for billets; few,if any, new orders, and
tendency to weakness rather than the
reverse. A reverse movement is noted
in the prices for staples, those for
wheat flour, wheat, Indian corn, pork,
lard, coffee, cotton and woolens hav-
ing advanced Lower quotations are
reported for sugar, petroleum and ma
val stores, in addition to iron and steel.
Exports of wheat, flour included, COW
er one day less this week than usual.
The total from both coasts and from
St Johns, N. B., is $4,000 bushels
for five days, compared with 2036, 900
bushels in six days of the preceding
week, 2,017,000-in the week a year ago,
3165,000 two years ago, 100000 three
years ago and 100000 bushels in the
like week of 1898. Total shipments Of
Indian corn, amounting $685. S5 bushels
this week, form the smallest weekly
aggregate in the current calendar The
corresponding total last week was
4,645000 bushels; in the second week OF
April, 1896, it was 1,074000 bushels; IN
1895, 778,000 bushels; 2040,00 bushels III
1895, and 1000 bushels in the CORE
spending week of 1898.
There is a marked decrease in the to-
tai number of business failures
throughout the United States, the total
1876 this week, being compared with 232
last week, 244 in the week year ago,
21S two years ago, PIP in the CORE
spending week of 1894, as, -contrasted
with 217 in the second week Of April.
1898, just before the panic. The total
number Of business failures through
out the Canadian dominion is SO this
week, against 80 last week, "a in the
week year ago, and 20 two years
ago. Bank clearings at Winnipeg,
Hamilton, Toronto Montraeal and Ha:-
flax amount to $19,144000 this week,
compared with $22, 343, 900 last week, and
$19,156,000 in the week year ago.
