GUNS REPORT.
Country Never in as Strong Financial
Position as Now.

Country Never in as Strong Financial
Position as Now.
New York, Jan. 13-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of, trade will say
tomorrow:
Contrary to the French saying, the
expected has occurred. Rapid advance
in prices of iron and steel products have
their immediate effect, and there is now
larger demand for many other pro-
ducts, and without unwieldy combina-
tions, all are doing we'll
Throughout, the country was never in
as strong financial position as at the
present time. Wheat and cotton still go
out largely. Europe is buying because
it has needs, and New York is lending
to Europe, because there is for the
present no need to call loans. There was
an advance of Ia cents in wheat dur
ing the week, but one cent in corn, but
without any indication that supplies
are running short.
Neither is there evidence of weakness
in the great industries. The output of
pig iron January l was 243516 tons
Showing a product about 5000 tons
weekly more than has been estimated
With further decrease of 37,444 tons
in stocks unsold during December But
while the Australian order of 32, 900 tons
is still in the market, with another
European order for $4,000 tons plates
the mills are so crowded that prices are
moving up rapidly.
Minor metals are also stronger tin
having risen in sympathy with London
to p cents, and copper to 1882 and lead
to cents, heavy consuming demand
helping in each case while the new COM
bin'ation i'm tin plates has advanced the
price to 81 per box at the works There
have also been large demands FIR
structural work
The boot and shoe shipments in jan
uary thus far are smaller than last
year or in 1895, although larger than in
other years, but the competition of 400
factories west of the AIleghenies is felt
more sharply, because the eastern mar
ket for sole leather has strongly held.
although in union and several u1lali-
ties of upper leather the quotations
have yielded preceptibly.
Hides are again higher in Chicago
the packers alleging as usual short sun
plies of cattle as the reason. Wool is
stiffly held at the west, although at
Boston, Ohio Xxx is quoted at 26Ib
cents, although much higher at PhiIa-
delphia. Buying is still slow, especially
since the ASsaIbet failure and the OMEN
ing of heavy weight woolens at a de-
cline in prices and many manufacturers
are waiting for better bargains in ma
terial or for more active demand for
products.
The wooden industry has been ham
pered beyond all expectations by the
prices demanded for wool, with the ex-
traordinary stocks yet unsold The mar
ket for cotton goods has been fairly
large and at rather better prices in ac-
cord with the price of cotton which has
risen to 606 cents.
Receipts at the south are for the mo-
ment much smaller than heretofore.
while there is accommodating evidence
that the crop gathered later and under
unfavorable conditions of weather does
not grade as well as was expected.
Failures for the week have been 31S
in the United States against $40 last
year. and "a in Canada against As last
year.

Reports have been circulating for two

ties have lost their cattle under mortga-

of men there in distress because they are
unable to get their paper extended. The
Gillett failure was what started the pres
