Bradstreet's Review.

New York, Feb. 27.-Bradstreet's
says:
The placing of orders for nearly
1,5OO, 900 tons OF steel within the past
three weeks is the most important in
fiuence for Improvement In general
trade since the November election.
The contracts for steel rails taken
since the break in the price, together
with expenditures necessary TO lay the
rails, means the placing In circulation
of no less than $50. 900 900. The mean
ing Of sales OF rails for exports has
been exaggerated, as some orders placed
abroad were due to English mills be-
ing temporarily engaged on other forms
of steel.
The rush for rails appears to be about
over, and the outlook is for higher
prices. Consumption of Bessemer pig
iron is in excess of production and wire
nails are running full time.
Many wooden mills In New England
have started up. Manufacturers are
buying I'm expectation of a duty being
placed on raw wool. Recent improve
ment In cotton goods is maintained.
At most cities there has been no change
in the volume or temper Of trade. De-
mand has been quiet, while expectations
favor an early Improvement. progress
thus far has been somewhat disappoint-
ing.
The most marked gains are at Chi
eago and st. Louis, where visiting mer-
chants have made relatively heavy pur-
chases of dry goods, clothing and gro
ceries. Jobbsrs at Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Milwaukee and Louisville in some
Instances regard the outlook as more
favorable.
Unfavorable weather on the South
Atlantic coast and in the northwest has
interrupted business and reports from
Galveston and Nashville are that the
movement OF merchandise has been
disappointing.
Exports OF wheat (hour included as
wheat) from both coasts OF the United
States this week lone holiday and from
ST. John. N. b., have fallen of sharply,
the total amounting to 1872. 21s BUSH
