MORE BUSINESS THAN IS REALIZED.
Dun's Review OF Trade Has Tone Of En-
couragement-wheat Movement.

Dun's Review Of Trade Has q Tone Of En-
eouraGement-wheafN Movement.
New York, May Or. q. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review Of trade says: People are
actually doing more business than they
realize. They reckon by values, but
these are much lower than in any pre-
vious year OF prosperity and leave little
margin for profits. In quantity there Is
almost as much business being done az
in the years Of greatest prosperity, and
though the increase in population would
call for material expansion the COM
perison Is not discouraging. The recov-
cry is slow. hesitating and gradual, but
more has been done On the whole in May
than in April, while returns of April
showed the volume of business only 10
per cent. smaller than that Of the best
year heretofore. Yet hesitation is doing
its work every week, and mulitudes are
waiting because Of possibilitiesat Wash
ington.
Events have proved that the crop of
wheat going out is much larger than
any Of the markets expected, and west
ern receipts for the week were 30 per
cent. larger than last year. With liberal
interior supplies the price has declined
q fraction. Manufacturers have especial
causes OF delay owing to the possible
competition with foreign goods largely
important, but there has besn no setback
in prices. The iron manufacture gains
in spite Of the closing Of some furnaces.
The production Of pig exceeds consump-
tion and is somewhat decreasing, while
the consumption has gradually gained.
Failures for the week have been 214
In the United States, the smallest in any
week since September, 1895, against 239
last year. and 20 in Canada, against 20
last year.

states that the insurgents are not de-
creasing in numbers, but that, accord
ing to the most trustworthy infOrma-

there are more of them now than when

effective by pursuing their present
method. General Lee also dwels upon
the condition of affairs in the island.
