CURRENT IS ONWARD
Progress of Trade Unchecked by
Exciting Reports.
CONDITIONS SHOW IMPROVEMENT.
Excess of Merchandise Exports the
Backbone of the Situation-Favor-
able Features Are Noted In
Nearly All Lines.

| New York, March 17.-R. G. Dun g.
!, Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:
Neither peace nor war reports have
changed the onward current of business
Orders for more than SOS, 500 900 gold from
Europe have blocked any drift toward
stringency In rates for money. and treasury
receipts OF about Sll00.O00 per day have
Kept In check any question about the cur
rency, while exports of products have con-
tinued at rate considerably increased.
and the demand for products of the grea
industries shows steady expansion. Prompt
action by the senate and house has re-
moved all fear Of embarra ssment through
conflicting purposes at Washington The
government is making ready without any
waste or time. while frankly assuring
everybody that 1t looks for peaceful set
tlement and hopes that Its preparations
may prove unnecessary
The backbone of the situation Is the ex-
cess of merchandise exports more tina n
$41 100000 In February, with an Increase Of
s2.2oo0OO in miscellaneous products S21Oo.-
600 in provisions, 81 500, 600 In cotton a nd 81 .

two weeks of March exports have been l6

have gained but 81 per cent.

some establishments. Contracts have been
made for 10000 tons with eastern works for
domestic delivery. IL, 900 tons for Australia.
5000 tons with 1900 tons bridge work for

Bradstreet's says:

The aggregate volume Of the country a
business continues sufficiently large to al
low or favorable comparison with past pe-
RODS alike in this and preceding years.
Aside from quoting demand at a few
leading eastern markets, where uncertain
ty as to the outcome of foreign complica-
tons Is advanced as reason for un-
willingness to embark in new business. the
situation Is one possessing nearly all of
the favorable features noted for some time
past. The best reports as to distribution in
leading lines come from the central west
and the northwest. Favorable weather has
improved distribution of dry goods, cloth
ing, millinery, building materials, agricul-
tural implements and nearly all other prod
ucts forming staple articles of consumption
among the prosperous farming communI-
ty. The movement of iron and steel Is es-
pecially large, but without effect on prices
which are generally very firmly held Some
slight advances in pig iron, in fact, have
been feature of the week at some mar
kets. Southern iron manufacturers are ac-
tive, and fruit and vegetable shipments
promise alike to be early and heavy. Dis
tributive trade is reported increasing at
the northwest, navigation is practically
open on the lakes and the 1st of April will
witness general movement of craft. 9th
er favorable features of the country's gen
eral trade situation are summed UP in lib
eral shipments of leading cereals, unprece-
denied totals of exports at New York
fewer business failures and slightly larger
bank clearings. Prices have moved irreg-
ularly during the week. The position of
print cloths is a very depressed one prices
during the past week reaching the lowest
quotation on record. While low-grade cot
tons have been weak. the medium and finer
grades have. however, maintained prices,
as have also coffee, sugar, molasses, iron
and copper and raw WOOL"

THE GRAPHIC got in aiee7 little scoop" again yesterday when it published list of the names of the Jefferson Fencibles who had been rejected at Little Rock on account sf physical disabilities. It was just what the people wanted to know and it only cost the GRAPHIC ehe price of a telephone message to the State Capital. But the GRAPHIC ez0n't mind little thing like that. Our esteemed afternoon con- temporary took it's report from the morning Gazette and reported only ssue member by name, who was subsequently, allowed another ex- animation. It is not too late, either, to mention the fact that the GRAPHIC was the only paper last Sunday that published complete report of the vote in Saturdays nrimary, and that Sunday morning a second edition had to be printed ao supply the demand of the news stands and news boys. The readers of our afternoon contemporary are still in ignorance of the number of Votes each candidate received in the qrimary, our contemporary having utterly failed to furnish it's readers with detailed aud tabular state uzent up to this writing. Of course Et required work to get up 8 table ia time for Sunday morning, and rhe paper was an hour or two late Ea getting out, but the GRAPHIC
