DUM'S TRADE REVIEW.
April Trade Shows Only a Slight Falling on
from Last Year.

New York, May 7.-R. G. Dun & Co $
weekly review Of trade, tomorrow, will
say: Nearly all viii be astonished %
learn that actual sales in April by lead
ing houses in each line of business in
the principal cities east of the Rocky
mountains averaged only about 10 per
cent. less than in April 1892. the year
of the largest business hitherto, and
were CT per cent. more than in the
same month of last year. Crop pros
poets are a little better for cotton be
cause of the passage of floods and the
increase of acreage elsewhere, and for
spring wheat because the customary
accounts of injury TO winter wheat be-
sin to appear and stimulate larger

Western receipts are larger than last
year 2,36S, sos bushels against 2,20S,92I

increase amounting to 1,49S, lG7 bushels
flour included, against 1,ofO l6l last
year. The weeks exports of corn was
9. 7O5, 403 bushels, smaller than in other
recent weeks.
Liverpool speculations listed cotton
to 7.75 cents, but it has lost a sixteenth,
and the consumption in manufacturers
does not appear to be increasing. The

MANY mills the large distribution IN
goods, since November. near the great
auction sales has yet sufiiced to reduce
the surplus of goods. Print cloths are
again lower at 2.i4 cents, the lowest
point ever reached in previous years,
and though some kinds of goods have
found sufficient demand to advance
prices a little. the expectation of better
prices and larger consumption in future
still seems to push the mills to exceed
the present wants.
The same is true of wooden manu-
facture in many branches, for orders
and sales thus far do not call for as
large production as appears, though 81
