DUNs REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2s-R. c. Dun & Co.' g Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow: The first month of the year has brought rather more increase in business, but less i'm provement in prices than expected. With payments through clearing houses 7.3 per cent larger than in 1892. and probably the largest known in any month. with railroad earn ings 11.2 per cent larger than the best of past years, the fact that prices very low only shows more clearly the increase in quantities of products sold. Nor is there any disposition to refuse orders. even at present prices. in- deed. the competition of manufacturers seek ing orders alone prevents a rise Most Of them have all they can manage. many working night and day, great steel concern running on Sunday but the works not yet filled with orders seeking contracts at as low prices as have ever been made.
 The settlement of wages 10 cent ad- vance April for 200, GOO coal miners of the cen tral region, with other changes. will tend toward a larger demand for products of all kinds though also toward some increase in cost of manufacture.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-It looked at the opening in Wheat If the long -looked-for reaction was about to take place. For the first time in two weeks news really favored the bears, and decline in prices at ensued. May which closed yesterday at y71s69s5<c, opened to-day at seAq969sc, and July, in which op- tion, however, there not much trading opened %q1c lower at S69s6Ac. There was plenty of selling at those figures by heavy holders, and May was down to 96c and July to s57sc before any support of consequence ma terialized. Traders were somewhat strength ened by the weakness at Liverpool. That mar ket opened %91Ad higher. but large slice of this advance had been lost when 1:30 D. m cables in.

BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2s.-Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Favorable conditions in the trade situation continue to far outweigh those of an opposite character. stormy weather throughout a large section of the country this week has checked the movement or merchan- disc in consumption, but the perceptlole in- crease in the demand for seasonaoie goods IS reported as already resulting. The last week of the month closes with increaseo actlVlty ln many lines, a number of price advances heav- fly increased bank clearings, as compared with one year ago. at nearly all cities. another con- siderable drop in the number or failures re- ported, large exports of cereals, particularly wheat, corn and flour, and perceptible conf dence in nearly all branches of trade as re- gards the outlook for spring business An other favorable feature of the week IS the slight but distinct improvement m the cotton goods situation, in which specuiatVe acuVlty Is awakening. Print cloths are hgher ana some makes of gray and medium "elsht cot tons are more firmly held.
 Pigiron Is refecting the effect of present un- precedented production, and a further weak ening in prices is recorded at Eastern points: At the West however consumption of pig and finished products of iron and steel IS reported increasing so as to hold prices firm. Large sales of bar steel and rails are reported at Chicago and St. Louis. with mills rerusing to take orders for delivery earlier than late sum Boots and shoes hold the late advance and manufacturers of heavy weights will not take orders for fall delivery at present prices. abroad. Prices of most staple products are higher on the week. Notable instances are those Ct wheat, NIlCh IS past lllc lolioA oeSIA. many Western markets. The active demand for the Klondike trade is reflected in canned goods, stocks of which are reported very low prices holding late advances. Collections are generally reported fair. those indicating back wardness coming most generally rom the South.
