BRILLIANT OPENING.
Present Volume of Trade is
Beyond All Expectations.
Iron and Steel Heads List With Larg-
est Orders Ever Known.
Many Manufactures Obliged TO Refuse Orders
Tor Many Months.

New York. Jan. 20.-R. q. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, tomor-
row. will say A new year rarely
opens brilliantly. Too many traders
have to wait for the demand which in
the winter comes slowly. But the in
dustries resist fairly well the tendency
to unlimited expansion which some
have to meet. Difficulties between
holders of material and manufacturers
continue to hinder in some industries
but the activity is on the whole unsur-
passed hitherto. and the volume of
traffic is beyond all expectations.
The boot and shoe industry has ship
ped less in quantity of boots and shoes
than in any years of the past four.
and new orders are still small. AL
though leather has yielded a little in
some grades it is yet relatively above
the prices Of hides at Chicago. which
have declined only q fraction during
the past week. ~ II.
The wooden manufat tuKe is still wait
ing, as vet only a mcdera ter demand
for goods The production IS, consid-
erably larger than i'm. rece1yt years. but
does not nearly approach the capacity
of the mills. Prices in domestic fleeces
are lower with present demands run
ming largely to quarter and half blood
and Australian cross bred. But there
il not enough in material or in demand
for goods to encourage heavy buying
by manufacturers as vet.
The cotton manufacture has large
demand for goods. but raw cotton has
so rapidly advanced that possible
BUYERS apprehend fall and there is
