Than In Any Previous Year-ln-
dustrial Activity Reported from
Western Points.

New York, Jan. 15.-R. e. Dun & Co.,
III the weekly review of trade, say:
1.-THE year has opened with very salts
factory prospect. 1t is all the better that
there 10 no wild excitement in the specula-
tive markets, and while stocks advance
a little, grain yields little. The pay
ments through the principal clearing
houses. Notwithstanding a decrease at New
York, owing to less activity in stocks, are
2.6 per cent larger than in 1892, and 10.1 per
cent. larger outside New York. Earnings
of all railroads in the United States report
ing for December, $43. ,279, indicate sub
stantially the same rate of increase, ex-
ceeding last years by 1915 per cent. and the
earnings Of 1892 for the same roads by L8
per cent. Since 1892 was. on the whole. the
most prosperous year thus far, compar-
isons indicate, Notwithstanding the low
est prices ever known, that the volume of
business Ia larger and, in spite Of some
cutting Of rates, the earnings Of railroads
are larger than In the best year Of past his
tory.
1.-THE wheat market has been curiously
languid. yielding quarter Of a cent, al
though Atlantic exports amount to $685.
1888 bushels for the two weeks Of January,
against 3,9S6,SI7 last year, and Pacific ex-
ports for the week have been 1,979.676 BUSH

ports continue large, although equal to
last years. amounting to 3,136,6SS bushels,
against 4.143852 bushels for the week last
year, and the price declined about three
fourths Of cent.
Spot cotton is sixteenth lower for
middling uplands, mainly because Of the
stoppage Of some mills by difficulty about
wages. But nothing is definitely known
about the quantity Of cotton yet coming
forward, and one report Of creditable char
acter puts the years yield at 10. $40. $50 bales.
though results thus far do not quite justify
so large an estimate.
1.-THE iron furnaces in blast January re-
port an output of 226.6Os tons weekly,
against 226.O24 weekly December !. with
an increase OF 12,4sl tons in the unsold
stocks held by furnaces. While this shows
a consumption 62h per cent. larger than
a year ago, there would be discouraging
Indications Of consumption but for the fact
that several furnaces were stopped for the
holidays, and these, with several others.

mand for finished products does not d.
