THE OUTLOOK IN TRADE.

the Weeks Business.

What Dun's Review Has to Say on
the Weeks Business.
New York, Feb 25.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says:
The situation Ia without precedent.
Business has never been better on the
whole. and in some great industries the
gain Is astonishing. Exports surpass
last years as much as imports. though
the excess over imports then was heavy.
Failures are smaller than last year and
smaller than in either of six years past.
Stocks are stronger. the average for the
active railway securities being little
higher and for trusts much more, owing
to the extraordinary advance Of Az
cents in tobacco. But there are some
who fear that such prosperity cannot
last.
The upward rush of 16.5 per cent in
the prices of pig iron since Jan. and
176 per cent IN prices OF iron and steel
products does indeed raise a question
whether exports of such products may
not be temporarily checked. but If they
could be entirely stopped, as they are
not. the balance due this country would
still be large. The crush of demand for
finished products at a time when nearly
all the works are crowded by orders
covering production until July or later
causes many to refuse to contract be-
yond that date except at higher prices.
and a rise under such circumstances
may prove the one thing needful to
sober buyers and to bring into the list
Of producers other establishments here

their continuance. and yet grain comes

such doubt had no basis.
