BRADsTREETs FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Feb 1o.-Bradstreet's Financial
Review tomorrow will say: Heavy realizing
sales and liquidation of speculative holdings
caused an irregular decline of values in the
first half of the week, followed by an equally
irregular but well-marked rallying tendency.
The declines appeared to be the result Of an
overbought condition, large amounts of securi-
ties having passed at the recently high prices
into the hands Of speculative holders, who
were discouraged by the symptoms of reaction
displayed last week and the evident stacking
of the public buying demand. Large interests
Of the street were apparently disincllned to
take any very active part or to encourage
resumption of the general advance under condi-
tions which would unquestionably have resulted
in profit taking an enormous scale and In
further selling here by London. When the
selling movement on Wednesday became rather
severe in it's effects and received In some stocks
incipient breaks there was, however ample
evidence that support was extended TO the
market and the rally which ensued prevented
the more or less appearance of manipulation
from such quarters. Such action was rendered
more effective and easier by the considerable
short interest which had accumulated for some
days past, the smaller professional operators
displaying an increasing tendency to act on
the bear side of the account for a turn. The
whole market this week has shown the presence
of the regular speculative element to an In
creasing extent, while the volume of commis-
sion house business has shrunk to more normal
proportions The daily transactions have also
decreased considerably, although they have
still been large enough to justify the descrip-
ton of the market a very active one.

BRADsTREETs ON TRADE CONDITIONS

NEW YORK, Feb 10.-Bradstreet tomorrow
will say: That some favorable effects are like
ly to follow the atmospheric changes OF the
week is evidenced by reports of Improved dis
tributon at retail of heavy winter goods, while
the effect on spring trade appears to be chiefly
regarded as one of retardation rather than OF
positive injury. In leading staples the strength
of prices is still feature, all the gains mace
in January being sustained, II not turther I'M
proved. Some reflection or the colo wave Is
found in the advance in wheat, showing an
inclination to concede some damage to the
winter wheat crop. in view of claims that snow
for protection Is lacking in many sections. In
aggressive strength, alike of demand and price,
however iron and steel are easily frst TINS

week is almost a roll call of that industry
products. Among the advances noted mignt De
mentioned barbed wire, steel rails. Southern,
Eastern and Bessemer pigiron, nails ana WIRE
plates, the most strength being eXh1bited AT
Western markets. Copper is again higher and
quotations are now not far from those made in
the great French corner which burst ten years
ago. Spelter and lead also higher, but tin
shows some reaction in the speculative move,
ment. Weather conditions have not Favored
the lumber trade, but reports, particularly from
the hardwood branch still very favorable
and prices exhibit all their old strength.

pUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK. Feb 10-R. @. Duns Weekly
Review of Trade will say tomorrow:
The solid basis for good business has not
been shaken by speculative reaction. Stocks
have been slightly lower and the market is all
the safer because much unsoundness and un-
reason have been shaken out. Speculation in
wheat. which for time depressed prices,
has also taken a turn. and with heavy ex-
ports, the market tends upward again. The
cotton movement is not essentially speculative,
but based on reported injuries. and holds its
advance. Meanwhile dispatches from all parts
Of the country show extraordinary activity in
the chief branches of trade and a business
much larger than n year ago in nearly all
The heavy excess of exports over imports con-
tinues, New York exports having been in five
weeks 16 per cent larger than last year. while
imports have been per cent larger.

though prices lower than they were some
months ago. After some yielding the price
rose to 1885 cents, and the May option rose

were 3.s26,692 bushels, flour included, against
2,17l,e21 last year. and total exports including
