WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
STRENGTH OF PRICES OF NEARLY
 ALI STAPLES.
This, Perhaps, the Most Notable Feature or tho Trade Situation Strength of oottoh Goods Still Feature of the Dry Goods Market

New York, Jan. 13.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Perhaps the most notable feature of the trade situation at present is the strength of prices of nearly all staples, but particularly of cereals, cotton, iron and steel, which have apparently gained further ground since the first of the year. Wheat and corn are both in exceptionally good de- mand abroad judging from the large exports reported, and good foreign de- 1nand is likewise the secret of strength in cotton, shipments of which continue heavy. While large sales of iron and steel are not so numerous as in recent weeks, further advances, notably of pig iron, steel billets, plates and rods, bear testimony to the eagerness of buyers to secure supplies and the almost corre- spending indifference of the trade to- ward new business, order books of most of the mills being reported well filled.
 The strength of cotton goods is still a feature of the dry goods market, but the hoped for advance in raw wool have not yet materialized and the trade in manufactured woolens ls still slow. The feeling of confidence in the lumber trade Is unabated and an active de- mand is looked for in the spring. Prices for boots and shoes are held steadily and the outlook is regarded as favor able. Leather, too, is firm, and hides are in sympathy. In other industries activity is feature, notable instance being the heavy vessel tonnage now being built both at the lakes and on the seacoast, aggregating for mercantile and national purposes a total claimed to be far in excess of any previous per- iod in the country's history.

with Dreyfus, and with NJ. De Mir,
whose acquaintance she made 10 q rail-
way carriage.

that his master frequently told him

lions between Valet Simonot and

S2S letters from PaunizarGi TO the re-
spondeot.
