THE TRADE REVIEW.
Volume of Business Larger Than in
Any Previous Year.

The volume of business reflected in
exchanges at the principal clearing
houses is 2O.4 per cent larger than last
year and 26S per cent larger than in
1892, heretofore the year of the largest
business and the highest prosperity
ever known. Part of this increase was
due TO speculation at New York, but
there remains a healthy increase over
the best of previous years, and though
in some branches business is not sat-
isfactory in character, nearly all it is
in volume larger than ever before.
