New York. Jan. 2s.-R. q. Dun & Co.'S
The first month OF the new year has
brought rather more increase In business,
but less Improvement in prices than was
expected. With payments through clear
ing houses 1.3 per cent larger than in 1892,
and probably the largest ever known in
any month: with railroad earnings H. per
cent larger than the best OF past years.
the fact that prices are very low only
shows more clearly the increase in guam
titles of products sold. Nor is there any
disposition to refuse orders. even at pres
ent prices: indeed. the competition OF man
ufacturers seeking orders alone prevents a
rise. Most of them have all they can man
age. many working night and day and one
great steel concern running on Sunday.
but the works not yet filled with orders
are seeking contracts at as low prices as
have ever been made. indicating that even
these are not entirely Improbable. The
