REVIEW OF TRADE.
Trade Agencies Discuss the Various Business
condItions-wheat Crop Improved in
Northwest by Rains.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade" says: Failures in the first half
OF 1900 were $500 with liabilities OF
SIoo. 57oI3A There were 80 failures OF
banks and financial corporations for S25,-
S22,o82, leaving 5.332 commercial fail
urcs with liabilities OF S74747,457. Had
1t been predicted that the vast iron in
duStry would be thrown from unpreee-
dented activity into great depression,
with many works closed and prices re-
duced fully a quarter, it would have been
thought impossible. The six failures in
that department for the last quarter were
in all for $28,o35, though Bessemer pig
has fallen from SIS to SI8 and plates
from 81 to Is cents, and the average for
iron and steel products has declined
just 25 per cent. since January 10. Some
further decline is now expected befo6
things are adjusted for another acti
season, and efforts to arrange wages
progressing.
The crop year for grain is over al
the outward movement OF wheat haN
not been stopped, although somewhat
diminished by the vagaries in prices.
While exact figures for the year will not
be known for some davs to come, they
difttr very little from 100000, 900 bushels
OF wheat and corn together, which was
almost exactly the quantity exported last
year, while in 1893, it was slightly larg-
er. 1t is now asked by the most con-
servative whether Indian corn has not at
last crept into such favor in place of 9TH
er grain that larger quantity OF it will
be required hereafter, lessening the
strain in this country when wheat is in
short supply, and without curtailing the
supply to the worlds needs or the sum
due to this country on balances. A
single moderately short wheat crop
might change all calculations in this re-
spect for the future.
Bradstreet's says that business failures
