SAD DISAPPOINTMENT.
WHEAT HAS DECLINED SEVERE.
LY-.NO RISE IN ANYTHING.
Some New Factories Started --Fewe,
Failures. Falling Off in Trade
Has Been Heavy.

New York, Jan. 29-R G. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade tomorrow
will say:
January has been a month of disap-
pointment but of real gain. Nearly ey-
erybody had promised himself a land Of
milk and honey after the new year and
the slow progress looks like standing still
to be in such a state of mind. Moreover.
there are multitudes throughout the coun-
try who have been taking large ventures
in advance of, or apart from, their regu-
lar business, because they expected a rise
in prices. But prices fail as yet to bring
them profit Wheat has declined severe
ly, cotton has scarcely risen enough to
pay brokerage, wool holds steady in spite
of enormous buying, wooden goods hardly
change in price, iron and it's products de-
cline, leather is sluggish, hides are lower.
for some shoe manufacturers accept a
shade lower prices, the average of rail-
road stocks is slightly lower than it was
December 81, and the advance in trust
stocks has been small. To traders in such
properties the month has been disappoint-
ing. Yet during the past week the record
that ten iron works have been started
and only two have stopped, thirteen wool
works have started, and nine more are
about ready to start, while three have
stopped. Similar things are seen in other
Industries, and the additional establish
ments are starting not without some
increase in orders received.
The decline in wheat was over cents,
in spite Of an official report of yield far
below estimates generally accepted, re-
81 a.,
and also OF the influence of the enormous
exports Of corn instead Of wheat, $4,000.
600 bushels In seven months.
The iron and steel men show little gain,
production having increased so heavily
before, and the gradual enlargement OF
demand for finished products has not
overtaekn that increase. Lower prices
result for Bessemer pig, Greyforge and
for Southern iron and Chicago, for angles
and for cut nails, and the average of all
quotations is the lowest since early last
year. For sheets there is active demand
and better also for bars, on account OF
much car building Tin and copper are s
shade stronger, but competition causes
sales Of tin plates 10 to 10 cents below
the agreed price.
| Failures for the week have been 331
in the United States, against 404 las
year, and 81 in Canada, against 20 las
year.
