THE TRADE SITUATION.
Condition OF the Business World as
Seen by Dun and Bradstreet-
Failures for Week, BE-.

NEW YORK, June 12.-R G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: The past
week has brought rise in prices not
equaled in any other week of many years
Iron products have advanced $50 per cent
IN one week and pig iron 4.S per cent. fol-
loving advances of per cent. in pig and
per cent. in products during May. Cot
ton has advanced per cent. and cotton
goods l.S per cent. during the week. with
wooden goods g per cent. and boots and
shoes l per cent. A little reaction of per
cent. appears in leather and z per cent. in
NOES. but the characteristic of the time
is that expectation of higher prices induces
buying far in advance of requirements for
consumption. 1t is needless to say that this
is symptom of danger, and the most con-
servatlVe manufacturers. especially in iron
ana STEEL have striVen to avoid it. but ac
tual inability to deliver products demand
ed leaves them little power, while specula-
ton IN wool and other lines is running away
from consumption. 1t is saving feature

Almost all the goods now being delivered
or produced in some industries are on
prices fixed by orders accepted several
months ago. and, nearly all the iron works
Delng thus tied up far ahead the prices
quoted indicate not at all what they are
getting. but what they see fit to ask as
way of refusing orders which they can
not accept. or else the bids of impatient
buyers who can find nobody ready to de-
liver large quantities. E8% tE

The reason for this sale is
that plans are we'll under way
for a large addition to our
present premises, and the ma
sons and builders want to be-
gin with that part of the store
where House Furnishings are
kept right off. This means
that we must go out of the
house furnishing goods for the
present. There is no other
way. There is no other place
we can show the goods and it
isn't practicable to pack them
away. We want the room
right off, and the quicker the
better.
