A BRIGHT TRADE OUTDOOR.
optimistic Tone of Brndstreet's and
Dun's Weekly Reviews.


New York. May 26-Bradstreet's tomor-
row viii say: Favorable features of the
current trade still largely outnumber those
OF an opposite character Wholesale dis
tributiOn is naturally less active as the
season advances. but comparisons with
last year are still very satisfactory. Much
is hoped for from better weather condi-
uons stimulating retail trade hitherto held
in check by the backward spring season
Industrial activity is widespread and the
prices OF most staples are either very
firm or tending upward except in the cases
of products affected by weather conditions
The market for manufactures of cotton is
a good second TO that of iron and steel

branches and a number of advances bclnp
registered for the week. The demand for
lumber and building materials generally
continues unabated and there is talk of
brick manufacturers combining to regulate
output Raw sugar is firm and the open
ing of the fruit season gives confidence
in steady prices for the refined article.
Boots and shoes have held recent ad-
vances. The trade situation is. however
not entirely without its drawbacks Re-
ports from winter wheat become increas-
ingiy unfayorable and near futures are
higher on the week. Favorable features at

facturers of furniture there and at the
West report great activity Pittsburg Ie-
ports trade conditions most satisfactory.
Trade on the Pacific Coast is fairly good
Oregon grain crops look well and lumber
is active. Failures for the week number
l5S against l6S last week. and 23l a year
ago"
Dun's review tomorrow will say: There
is some fear that has no other source than
the habit of fear. Men have found for so
many years disaster treading on the heels
of apprehension that they lack faith in
good things present and to come. But all
the time the volume of business is rising
and the weeks payments through the chief
clearing houses are GIL per cent larger
than last year. For the month thus far
the daily average is 57.9 per cent larger
than last year Moreover this week and
every other brings larger wages to many
and increased purchasing power, and the
demand for products is consequently ex-
panding in all branches of consumption.
The rise in Bessemer pig iron to sI755 at
Pittsburg. 50 in two weeks, in grey force
TO $l5.25, in anthracite No l here to
Sl6.75. and in local and Southern iron at
Chicago. results directly from the fact
that supplies are for the time less than
the demand"

purchased the Blaine mansion, at the cor

the Cabinet, following the death Of Mr.
Garfield in 1881, he returned to his home in
Augusta Me. The house was occupied a
number OF years by L. z. Letter. After
Mr.. Letter had finished his handsome resi-
dence in New Hampshire Avenue and
moved there, the Blaine house was then
occupied by the Westinghouse. and has
since been used by them as a winter resi-
dence.
When Mr.. Blaine returned to Washing
ton to enter President Harrison's Cabinet
as Secretary of State, he purchased the
old Seward mansion. which Mrs. Blaine
afterward sold to the gentleman owning

nize and believe that the change they
