puN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, April 14.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say
Saturday, April 15
There is still increases in all legiti-
mate business and the productive pow
er of great industries increases even
though some of their stocks decline,
The sharp reaction in speculation a
week ago in no way affected the pro-
ducing capacity OF furnaces or mills,
and has been in part recovered while
the disturbance of business caused by
the formation of great combinations
has in large measure ceased. The mon
ey market is in safer and more whole
some condition and in spite OF four
heavy payments by large syndicates
amounting to about s50.000,000, has
grown easier. The only stringency has
been in call loans.
1t is not owing to speculation alone
that payments through the chief clear
ing houses have been so per cent.
and 1888 per cent. larger than last
year. New York transactions far ex-
coed those of any previous week, $1,468,-
502,709 in amount, but outside New
York the clearings were 41.5 per cent.
ldiSeI ludu III 1880 dlQ ffO pei Ccul.
larger than in 1892. The truth is that
NO such expansion in the general bust
ness of the country has ever been seen
before, and if such records only were
considered there would be ground for
fear that wild passion Of trading had
again lifted the whole business COM
munity off its feet. But instead there
is found surprising increase in the chief
industries. Naming first some of which
only returns of raw materials imported
give definite indications, raw silk i'm
ports increased 81 per cent. India
rubber 26, tin q and fibres 10 per cent.
The output of pig iron April LIST was
245,746 tons weekly against 1916
March list. with 1918 tons decrease
in stock unsold and 16.600 in warrant
stocks, indicating consumption in
manugacture of 1.056.043 tons in
March. The haste of forty other fur
naces to get into operation with their
possible output of 10000 tons more
weekly has helped to keep prices of pig
quite steady, although strong. but the
demand for finished products is far
from satisfied. The Maryland Steel
Company has orders for $4,000 tons
steel rails for the Chinese Eastern.
Plates have sold ct $40 for sheared
at Pittsburx, but the leading mille there

New York. April 14-After a long
period of comparatively dizziness and
narrow changes spelter made stride
upward to-day on sudden increase in
demand and bullish demand from the
west, closing very strong. The other

sence OF important news from abroad
or primary points. Metal exchange

per unchanged and nominal at $40 so;

Hooded With long wheat. which showed
tempting proGts For about twenty
minutes. however. there were shorts
enough DESTROYS Of stopping further
loss on previous sales to absorb of1er-
ings and the market held firm. The
bears took fresh courage when 1T be-
came evident that liquidation was to
continue and shorts who had covered
early commenced to sell again. When
both longs and shorts had wheat fol
sale at the same time 1t was impossible
to ind buyers enough and that state OF
affairs resulted in a punctured boom.
The price of May inside OF an hour
dropped to 1880. Short selling was
encouraged by the heavy shipments OF
wheat from Argentina this week which
amounted to nearly 100000 bushels.
Predictions OF possible showers to-
morrow in Illinois and rainy conditions
ated the decline. The market became
very irregular over somewhat narrow
range during the remainder Of the fore
noon succeeding the time OF the early
decline. Chicago received 85 cars,
~ of which were Of graded contract
Minneapolis and Duly got TIA cars,
compared with 209 cars a year ago.
Clearances were small, as was also
western primary market receipts. The
modern miller declared that the wfear
plants showed notable Improvement
and that the advances had become dis
tinctly better during the week. On
that enc authority as against all the
Others of a different kind, the price
was again attacked and forced few
notches lower than it went in the fore
noon. From that time on the market
continued heavy, May declining to 73c,
and closing at 73B@73Ac. July, which
sold for 1880 at the beginning, declin-
ed to 73szc with buyers at the close.
Trade in corn was quite active and
at the start slightly better prices were
made. Liquidations set in, however,
and the market manifested consider
able weakness. Receipts, 129 cars.
Shipping inquiry tame. May started
lsc higher at from 3512c down to $3.50,
sold sparingly at 351sc, then declined
to 355s @35Ac, which was bid at the
close. Oats ruled quiet within narrow
limits. Favorable weather witnessed
the spread between May and July to
1A@1Bc. There was q good cash de-
mand. Receipts, 14S cars. May began
a shade higher at 27c, rose 1sc, then
sold off to 265sc at the close.
Better prices at the yards and scat
tered outside buying strengthened pro-
visions. May pork opened Sc higher
at $9.071a, advanced to 1910, sold or.
to S9.021s and closed at 1906.
The range in lard and ribs was of the
narrowest kind
No estimates were made for to-mor-

Stocks-Trading was rather sluggish
most of the day, transactions only
slightly exceeding half million shares.
Local transportation shares continued
prominent in the dealings while the
railways moved by some of the rumOred
electrical combinations made the stock
in keen request. The stock sold ex-
rights subscription from 129@134%,
closing at 134ag ainst last nights $780,
Manhattan, too, ran up some points,
while Metropolitan after an early dis
play of strength broke points, closing
with net loss of 8. Among other
strong specialties were Sugar, Peoples
Gas, Continental Tobacco and Steel,
Rubber and Tennessee Coal, the two
last named rising and 6 respectively.
The railway list, although neglected
most Of the day, was strong in the late
dealings. Influences at work on Nsenti-
ment were easy money, hopes of IA
vorable bank statement tomorrow and
rather bear reports on wheat. Mobile &
Ohio advanced on small dealings on
the belief that the deal was pending,
which would secure the road an en-
trance to Chicago over the St. Louis
short line. AS brokers have secured
large time loans so as not to be forced
to pay high rates for call loans in
any possible squeeze in money. Trans
actions for foreign account were very
small. In the final dealings the pres
sure against Traction stock caused
some recession from the best prices,
but the undertone was good.
To-day's bond market showed good
breadth and there was some good gains
in issues which have of late obtained
prominence in the market. Total sales
