business point to the present year hav-
ing heavily exceeded any former year

are not so favorable as in earlier years,
notably 1890 and 1892.
Nominal prices of steel rails this
week show little change from those rul-
ing some time ago. Exports this week
are the largest ever reported. Corn and
oats are higher. The ocean freights sit
uation is slightly easier, and the sup
ply of tonnage shows some enlarge
ment. The prices situation generally is
encouraging, and advances largely out
number declines
The boot and shoe situation has been
improved by the severe weather Leath-
er is steader and hides higher. The
print cloth market continues strong at
the recent advance but the woollen
goods situation is still unsatisfactory.
The total bank clearings for the IL
months aggregate $61 351, $40. 356. to-
tai very nearly as large as that for the
