DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, June 9.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
will say: The past week has brought
a rise in prices not equalled in any
other week of many years. Iron pro-
ducts have advanced $50 per cent in
one week and pig iron As per cent,
following advances of per cent in pig
and 4 per cent in products during
May. Cotton has advanced 1 per cent
and cotton goods is per cent during
the week. with wooden goods s per cent
and boots and shoes 1 per cent. A lit
tie reaction of G per cent appears in
leather and I per cent in hides. but
the characteristic of the demand is
expectation of higher prices induces
buying far in adance of requirements
for consumption. 1t is needless to say
that this is a symptom of danger, and
the most conservative manufacturers,
especially in iron and steel, have striv
en- to avoid it, but actual inability to
deliver products demanded leaves them
little power, while speculation in wool
and other lines is running away from
CONSUMPTION.
1t is a saving feature that quota
tons are quite largely fictitious. AL
most all the goods now being deliv-
cred or produced in some industries
are on prices fixed by orders accepted
several months ago, and nearly all the
iron works being thus tied up far
ahead the prices quoted indicate not
at all what they are getting, but
what thew see fit to ask as a way of
refusing orders which they can not
accept, or else the bids of impatient
buyers who can find nobody ready to
deliver large quantities.
During the past week quotations
have risen for anthracite No. l to 81 50.
for Bessemer to SIS. 80 at Pittsburg, for
Grey Forge TO S16.2 5, for billets, with
practically no sales, to $3l, for bars 81
per ton, for plates and sheets as much.
for rails to SIG. for structural beams
and angles s. per ton and for wire nails
% cents per key. But there are no
accounts of large transactions at these
or any other prices, though small

Lazard Freres will ship S2,0oO.O0O in

The National City bank will export
$1,000 900, making $3.000000 shipments
for today, and total exports for the
season to date S. 100000 In financial
circles so far the shipments have
caused comparatively little comment
owing to the exceptionally strong po-
sition of the clearing house banks and
the country at large as regards gold.
1t is estimated that S25000,000 to $40 =
100000 will be the total exports for the
summer season.
The movement of prices was con-
fiicting at the opening, the principal
activity being shown in the sDecialties.
Brooklyn Transit. Rock Island. Man
haitian and Anaconda rose sharply, the
latter l 3-S. Continental Tobacco
dropped away over a point and Steel
& Wire after a fractional gain, fell
away over a point. Sugar also turned
downward after a small opening gain.
The short interest became alarmed at
Thursdays exhibition of strength and
diversified dealings, w1nCh seemed to
indicate inside support and renewed
outside demand. Accordingly stocks
were in urgent demand at the outset
and Sugar and Metropolitan were
marked up 3, Manhattan 1-2 and
Brooklyn Transit l IL. Good gains were
shown also by the standard stocks and
minor properties. The demand fell off
after time and the market developed
a pronounced sagging tendency on pro-
fessional operations. Continental To-
bacco dropped ? IL and Sugar IL.
THE market became dull at the decline,
hut inability to force out long stock in
the general market caused reversal
of operations by the professionals, and
prices were bid up strongly all around
in the middle of the day. The local MT
nicipal stocks were the favOrites, and
buying of Manhattan and Brooklyn
Transit was unusually heavy. The
Western railroads Jagged somewhat,
but the Pacifcs and Southwesterns rose
substantially.

Howard. Crosby 8 Co.'S Boston Letter.

tI1OWdTu, CROSBY q 90. Boston LeIIeT.J
Boston, June 9.-Wheat opened dull to-
day with prices practically unchanged, an
absence of orders being the principal fea-
ture. Liverpool spot wheat market was
I'D lower, but other foreign markets
were indifferent. News was rather mixed
Northwestern receipts were 636 cars
against 902 the same day last year; Ar
gentine shipments, 1895, 900 bushels for the
week, against 264, 600 the same week last
year. The Kansas June crop report the
result of inquiries from 1900 correspond
ents, shows that under the most favora-
BILE conditions the yield cannot exceed
last year. In Nebraska weather was not
favorable with cold rains in the eastern
counties and no rain in the west.
SHOWS crop report says: winter
wheat harvest will be under way next
week, but there is no practical change in
the situation and no reason to expect
better results than have been heretofore
indicated, and a conservative total crop
indication is $50, 100000 bushels" Trading
is swayed by contradictory reports of
crop conditions in southeastern Europe
At the opening of the stock market to-
day there was little trace of the reaction
which set in late yesterday, and buying
orders, which had accumulated over
night, were sufficient to overcome traders
selling After the first half hour there
were moderate reactions on realizing of
profits. Iron and steel stocks We're irreg-
ular; a dash against c. I. caught many
stop loss orders, but the market continued
strong.

The RarengO Gold Mining COMPANY

has purchased four mining claims in the
Cripple Creek mining district of Colo
RADIO
Creek is the most wonderful gold camp on
earth. There have been more and better
opportunities for making profitable in
veStments there than anywhere else in the
world. The following will give you some
idea of the great opportunities this camp
has afforded for making money without
assuming much risk:
ISABELLA once sold at cents; now
worth 90 cents per share; it could have
been bought during the past year for 10
cents. It has paid $405, 600 in dividends.
PORTLAND when it started only had
one-tenth of an acre, and It's stock once
sold at cents. 1t now has 1853 acres, and
its stock is selling at 81 per share. 1t
pays 100000 per month.
VICTOR once sold for 20 cents a share;
now worth 49, and has paid S1,155,0OO in
GOLD COIN once sold for 10 cents: now
worth 81 per share.
HERE Is YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
The Marengo Gold Mining Companv's
property is located on the same phono-
lite dyke as some of the great mines in
the above list and it's prospects of sue
cess are as favorable now as We're those
of any of the above at the time they
started. For full description of its prop
erty send for prospectus. You make no
mistake in buying this stock while it can
be had at first price, only 10 cents per
share, par value 81, worcestershire. Only
a limited amount will be sold at this
price.
