lDun's Review.

New York, April 1.-R. G. Dun e.
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow: In spite Of foreign condi-
tions, since the destruction of the
Maine. Feb. 10, failures in three
months are smaller than in the first
quarter of any year since 1856; the ratio
of defaulted liabilities 10 payments
through clearing houses has been the
smallest for that quarter since 1851; the
average of liabilities per firm in busi-
ness has been the smallest since 1880,
and the average of liabilities per failure
has been lower than ever before in any
quarter. II is especially significant that
the failures for less han 800, 900, with
out material decrease in number. were
20 per cent. smaller last year in manu-
featuring and rs per cent. smaller in
trading.
The var cloud which many have in
ferred must have greatly increased
commercial disasters. does not appear
to have any such effect as yet. and
while there is some decline In the new
orders for industries, nearly all live
works are covered so far ahead that
the difference ls now felt. Rates for
money ave advanced, and 6 per cent,
which used to be the ruling rate in
active times, again prevails, which COM
pels many spectators To l~iquidate. But
the imports OF gold go far TO prevent
any real anxiety. Moreover, although
part OF the hypothecated exchange on
Europe has been sold and ordered
against IL, there Is known to be about
$50, 00o. 900 more yet i'm the banks at New
York and Sl2, 800, 900 I'm other cities,
against which gold is liable TO be im-
ported because there is small prospect
of any better settlement.

Meanw lille corn exports have been for
the week 1851 ,029 bushels a against 4.2sl,-

tive movements at the West have been
long less influential than this heavy
and continued buying of grain, and
Western receipts begin 10 fall of as Il
supplies were no longer unlimited.
Wheat has declined slightly. but corn
has advanced one-quarter cent for the
week. and no one imagines thai foreign
roubles can check the outgo. Cotton
has advanced an eighth because Of the
idea hat the production may be re-
dueed. although receipts from planta-
ions thus far have beer greater by
