spectators to manipulate
While many of the mills have stopped produc-
ton Uf cotton goods for time the general outlook
Is on the who.e unchanged and the demand for

stained the recent advance to SO rs per ton at

OF prices still continues very low. Wire nails

are dull, and there is less evidence of Eastern

GENERAL CONDITION OF TRADE.

The placing of orders for nearly 100000 tons
of steel within the past three weeks is the most
important influence for improvement in general
trade since the November election, says Brad
streets of February 81. The contracts for steel
rails taken since the break in the price, together
with expenditure necessary to lay the rails, means
the placing in circulation of no less than So D.
600 900. The meaning Of sales OF rails for export
has been exaggerated some orders placed
abroad we're due 10 English mills being tempora-
rly engaged other forms of steel. Many
wooden mills in New England have started up
Manufacturers are buying in expectation OF a duty
being placed on raw WOOL Recent improvement
n cotton goods is maintained At most cities
there has been no change In the volume or temper
of trade. Demand has been quiet, and while ex
pecta:ions favor early improvements, progress
ihns lar has been snmeNhsL diSsDnOlnting.
