WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS
Bfadstrett's and Dan Review the Condition
Of Trade In the Country.
STAPLES STRONG, ESPECIALLY CEREALS
Good Export Demand for Cotton. Iron
and steel-No Improvement In
the situation In Wool.

New York, January t3.-Bradstreet
will say tomorrow Perhaps the most not
able feature OF tho trade situation at pres
ent is the strength OF prices of nearly
all staples, hut particularly of cereals. cot
ton. iron and steel. which have apparently
gained further ground since the first OF the
| year. The explanation OF the strength oil
wheat is of course found in the good
cash demand which seems to meet any
slight reactions in values and which has
placed the price at a point as high as at
any previous time for three months past.
This cereal and corn are both in excep-
tionally good demand abroad. Judging
from tho large exports reported, and good
foreign demand is likewise the secret Of
strength of cotton, shipments OF which
continue heavy. The feature OF dealings
In this staple is the ready demand for
good grades aud the Indifference manifest
bad weather at the South are In larger
than usual supply. Cotton manufactures
indeed, have been complaining for some
time of the low spinning quality and
waste of the present crop.
While large sales OF iron and steel are
not SO numerous as IN recent weeks, TUT
Their advances In prices. notably of pig
iron, steel billets, plates and rods, bear
testimony to the eagerness of buyers to
secure supplies and the almost correspond
ing Indifference Of the trade toward new
business, order books of most of the
mills being reported we'll filed. Pig iron
production is the heaviest ever known.
but stocks show further depletion. The
successful floating Of number of large
consultations in this industry OF late has
naturally stimulated the discussion in fur
Their consultations.
Formation OF syndfcates. however is not
confined to iron and steel because within
the week there are reports of a project

object the securing OF control of tie en-
tire Cuban supply this year.
The strength Of cotton goods is still
n feature Of the dry goods market, but
the hoped-for advance In raw wool has
not yet materialized and the trade Ia man
ufactured woolens is still slow.
The feeling of confidence In the lumber
trade is undated and an active demand
is looked for in the spring. In other IN
dustres activity Is feature.
