TRADE SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
A Slow but Steady Gain in All the
Great Industries.

r. g. Dun II Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: The rupture of the steel rail
and other combinations in the iron busi-
ness has brought out a vast quantity OF
trade which had been held back and has
set many thousand men at work.
Purchases of rails, estimated at 1,OO,0O0
o II within two weeks, whereas the pro-
duction last year was only 1,lO2, S92 tons.
and the sales said to be only son, 600, insure
employment for the works far ahead, and
the eastern works are taking desirable COM
tracts at SIS per ton.
Increased demand has also started quite
a number of WOODEN mills, including many
making dress goods and hosiery. The de-
mand for mems woolens is also somewhat
better, especially for heavy weights, and
there are improving sales of better qualities.
Sales of wool nave been 80, 1877 200 pounds
in four weeks, against 22.366, 500 in the
largest previous year, 1892. A single pur-
chase of l,3DO,OO0 pounds South American
cross bred being the most important noted
this week.
Wheat enjoyed a brief rise, then dropped
over 8 cents and closed 2ss cents lower for
the week. While western receipts are 40
per cent. smaller than last year. for the
past four weeks Atlantic exports flour in
cluded) have been 6,34O,4l bushels. against
1,O43,5 So last year. II the exports of corn
have been S,f35. 552 bushels, against $780,
2S2 last year. The increase i'll corn more
than makes up in foreign consumption for
the decrease in wheat. r
