NO GAIN SHOWN.
General Trade Remains Practically
at q Standstill.

AT ~ StdnuStllls
New York, April 10.-Bradstreet's
says:
THE business situation as whole shows
no gain. Staple lines are only fairly act
I've. Overfows, washouts and floods con-
tinue to do great damage in the Mississippi
and Missouri river valleys, throughout a
great portion of which general trade re-
mains practically at standstill. Rainy
weather, extending from the central west
ern to the northwestern spring wheat states,
has rendered country roads almost i'm
passable, with the natural effect upon buei-
ness. AS the region threatened includes
the richest portion of the cotton belt, the
prospect for delay in planting a second
time indicates the possibility of heavy
reduction In acreage this year, whence the
advance in cotton this week. Pig iron. steel
billets and cast iron pipe are lower In
price, and the demand for steel and iron
is not as heavy as 1t has been, although the
price on lake ore has been fixed at a low
figure and an ore pool formed. Wheat has
continued as disappointing as iron as to
price, dropping nearly four cents bushei
on Bradstreets report of an increase in
the worlds visible supply last week, in
stead OF decrease, as expected, due to a
large quantity of wheat in sight abroad.
Chicago has only about held its own, little

Prospective advances in the wool tariff are

except those mentioned as having ad-
vanced, have declined"
New York, April 1O.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
"Out Of 1000 failures, with liabilities of
SEQ, 752, SCI in the first quarter, "a bank fall
ures covered more than a fifth of the
amount, s12,74,65O, and 3,345 failures, with
liabilities of 1854, 1872, or nearly three
fifths. are classified this week according
to branches of business leaving only 5S7
failures. and less than fifth of the liabN-
tiles, $12060,019, in branches of manufacture
or trade not specified Only two of the
IL manufacturing classes and only four of
13 trading classes show liabilities for
the quarter larger than last year, and only
five manufacturing and three trading show
largest average liabilities. For the month
of March only three manufacturing and
four trading classes show larger amounts
than last year, and only two manufactur-
Ing and five trading show larger average
of liabilities. In almost every case also
1t is shown that the increase is due to one
or two exceptionally large failures in that
class. The returns, compared with those
of three previous years, disclose much i'm
provement already, and bright prospect
for more hereafter"
