DuN,S REVIEW.

New York, April AR. G. Duns
weekly review of trade tomorrow Will
say: There is still increase in all le-
climate business, and the productive
power of great industries increases
even though some stocks decline The
sharp reaction in speculation a week
ago in no way affected the producing
capacity of furnaces or mills, and has
been in part recovered, while the dis
turbance of business caused by the
formation of great combinations mas
in large measure ceased. It is not CW-
ing to speculation alone that payments
through the chief clearing houses have
been so per cent larger than in The
same week of 1892 and 1888 per cent
larger than last year.
New York transactions far exceed
those of any previous week, 81, 46S, 5U..-
709 in amount, but outside New York
the clearings were Ais per cent larger
than in 1898 and 44.6 per cent larger than
in 1892. The truth is that no such eX
pansion in the general business Of the
country has ever been before, and If
such records only were considered
there would be ground for fear that a
wild passion of trading had again lit
ed the whole business community off
its feet, but instead, there is found sur
prising increase in the chief indus
tries.
Raw silk imports increased rs per
cent for eight months Of the fiscal year
over last hides 40 per cent, India rub
Der 26, tin q. and fibres 10 per cent. The
output of pig iron April 1 was PAS, 146
tons weekly against 228, 1876 March l.
with 11j lis tons decrease in stocks I'M
sold and 16,600 in warrant stocks. indi-
eating a consumption in manufacture
of 1856 DAB tons in March. The haste
of forty other furnaces to get into OPP
Grafton has helped keep prices of pig
steady, although strong, but the de
mand for finished products is far from
satisfied. The Maryland Steel Co. has
orders for 10000 tons steel rails for
the Chinese Eastern.
Plates have sold at 81 for sheared at
Pittsburg. But the leading mills there
and mills elsewhere are crowded Cor
months. and many will not quote at
all. Large contracts were closed in
structural works, just before the ad-
vance in prices, but Chicago orders this
week cover 5000 tons bridge work and

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

everywhere there is much business IN
sight. Ban and sheet mills are him
dered by prospects of consolidation,
but though few orders for bars are
taken just now at the west, the Phila-
delphia market is more steady steer
bars rise s. per ton at Pittsburg, ano
the heavy demand for sheets makes
prices irregular.
Lake copper is strong at 1915 cents
and scarce. and tin went up swiftly
with London, declining only to 25}a cts.
Shipments Of boots and shoes from
the east in two weeks of April We're 10
per cent more than last year when ship
ments were greater than in any pre-
vious year. Oil, grain and leather are
a shade lower, but sole leather is in
heavy demand at the recent advance
and Chicago packers have advanced
prices of nearly all grades of hides a
shade.
In spite of some strikes because wag-
es were not raised as much as hands
expected, the cotton industry has
very good demand and most of the mills
are working satisfactorily. A second
combination of fine goods makers Is
proposed. like that of Fall River mills,
which has kept prices steady of late.
Wooden mills have begun to buy wool
more largely, though at prices much of
their own making, but there is improv-
ing demand for goods.
Sales of wool at the three markets
have been 1872, 900 pounds in two
weeks against 3,3S5,000 last year. Wheat
advanced about y a cent, accounts of
injury discovered since April l supple
menting the government report
Exports have been reduced, Atlantic,
-four included. amounting to 396O,SSO
bushels for two weeks against 5,2S5, 1893
last year and Pacific to 564,562 bushels
against 2,09S,942 last year with other
exports S06,677 bushels.
Corn is a shade stronger and in two
weeks exports have been 6,1S4, 693 bush
els against S,146,6S1 last year But
western receipts of wheat in two weeks
have been 5,S63, 665 bushels against g.
307 6S7 last year which does not indicate
that farmers in the great wheat grow
ing states realize that the crop has
been greatly damaged.
Imports of foreign goods continue
heavy partly because of the heavy sug-
ar movement, partly because imports
of raw materials are unprecedented,
and also because imports of fancy ar
ticles on which duties are relatively
high are large enough to swell the rev.
enue materially. Failures for the week
have been 1888 in the United States
against 254 last year, and % in Canada
against is last year.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York April 14-Trading was
rather sluggish most of the day, the
transactions only exceeding by little
half a million shares. Local transpor-
tation shares continued prominent in
the dealings, while the railways moved
within narrow limits.
The idea that Brooklyn Transit
might be benefited by some Of the
mOOted electrical combinations made
the stock in keen request. Manhattan,
too, ran up some three points, while
Metropolitan, after an early display of
strength, broke Z points, closing with
a net loss of 9. Among other strong
specialties We're Sugar, Peoples Gas,
Continental Tobacco, Federal Steel

The railway list, although neglected
most of the day, was strong in the
late dealings. Influences at work on
sentiment were easy money, hopes Of a

some recessions from the best prices,

the court in ordering a stay of pro-
ceedings and returning the property to
its owners is indicative of its future
action. 1t is safe to say that the COM
