WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
Remarkable Gain in the Volume Of
General Business Reported.
R. G. Dun & Co. Find That There Has Been
an Almost Unprecedented Increase.

New York, Feb. l5.--R. G. Dun e. Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says: The sit
uation is without precedent. business
has never been better. on the whole, and
IN some great industries the gain is as
tonishing. Popular impressions have
TO be reckoned with, because they con-
troll events. Yet at every point of dan
ger except one the signs are in every
respect favorable. The upward rush
of lG.5 percent In the prices OF pig iron
since Jan l. and iI6 percent in prices OF
iron and steel products. does indeed raise
a question when exports OF such prod
ucts may not be temporarily checked,
but II they could be entirely stopped.
as they are not, the balance due this
country would still be large. The best
sign Is that the great producers appear
