BUSINESS MORE HOPEFUL.
Large Increase in Iron and Steel Trade,
and Better Demand for Other Goods
Encourage Buyers.

New York, Feb. 19.-R. G.. Dun 6, Co.
will say tomorrow in their weekly Re
view of Trade:
A large increase in the iron and steel
business on account of sales covering
eight to twelve months production of
the largest works, a better demand
for wooden goods, and slightly better
for cottons, a gain which may prove
lasting in boots and shoes, slightly bet
ter prices for wheat, cotton, wool and
iron and a money market well adapted
to encourage liberal purchases against
future Improvement in business, have
rendered the past week more hopeful
than any other since early in NoVem-
Der. The heavy excess of merchandise
exports over imports in January, the
continuance of exchange rates show
ing that Europe is still largely indebted
to this country on current account and
the prospect that congress will adjourn
without any disturbing action, all have
their favorable influence upon the
money market, and upon future under
takngs. In nearly every branch, the
great iron and steel industry feels the
upward impulse supplied by purchases
of steel rails, said to be half a million
tons each from the Illinois Steel COM
pany and from the Carnegie company,
besides some from other companies, in
part as low as $l5 per ton, about l00
600 to foreign purchasers at $17 to SIS,
but all recent sales at $40 at eastern
and 81 at western mills. These enOr-
nous orders have advanced Bessemer
pig at Pittsburg only Is cents per ton
with grey forge a shade lower there
| and no considerable change appears in
| finished products.
The sales of wool have sharply de-
| clined. The larger mills have acquired
full supplies for the present, and at any
| drop out of the market. The demand
| for woolen goods does not seem to have
| expanded materially and no quotable
| change in prices has appeared during
| the week. Wheat dropped to S0.75, but
| rose to 1925. Receipts of corn have
| been nearly double those of last year.
| The volume of business is not accur-
| tely represented by clearing house eX-
changes, owing to the extra holiday this
year at some commercial centers. But
| the daily average appears to be 3.4 per
| cent. smaller than last year. The rail-
| road earnings begin to show improve
ment, being 81 per cent larger than
| last year for the second week of Feb
ruary.
Failures for the past week have been
1903 in the United States, against 2SO
last year, and $50 in Canada, against 66
last year.

nrst snag when Mr.. Grow (Republcan,
Pennsylvania, insisted that he had a
right to speak as long as he wanted to
on it. This proposition was discussed
for some time and resulted in a victory
for the venerable Pennsylvania men,
ber who devoted some extended re-
marks, not to the appropriation bill,
but to the Oklahoma free homestead
measure.
Then a long discussion was started
by Mr.. Richardson democrat, Tennes-
see), over an item to pay special at
torneys for defending suits against the
United States.
Mr.. Richardson wanted to know the
use of paying attorneys to defend such
cases when the judgment given against
the United States particularly in claims
under the Bowman act, were never
paid. Many members spoke with re-
gard to the propriety of opposing the
Bowman claim, but when the afternoon
was nearly over the discussion was
dropped The bill was not finished at J
O'Clock when the house took a recess
for three hours
Tonight the house discussed private
bills.

MARKETS AND STOCKS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Feb. 19.-The stock mar
ket was duller than ever today, the
transactions, 1061 shares being the
smallest total for any day this week.
The business was almost entirely for
professional account In the early trad
ing the tendency of prices was down
ward. The continued heaviness of the
coal stocks exercised an adverse intlu-
ence. The Changers were lower for a
time. The greatest decline was in New
Jersey Central, which yielded two
points. The other losses were 1s to Is
per cent. Later in the day tirmness
prevailed and prices recovered Is to
1as per cent all along the line. The gen.
eral market closed barely steady in
tone. Net changes show gains of Ba
"a per cent, except Jersey Central,
which lost 5s per cent.
