TRADE REVIEW.
Operation of the New Money Dill
settlement of the Carnegie
Frick Differences Important.

New York, March PAR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: IN its first
week of operation the new monetary bill
has given satisfaction at the treasury and
to banks. Applications for new two per
cents. have exceeded $106, 000.0 00. and the
net increase in bank circulation Is already
over $40. 000.0 600. As the rate at which new
circulation can be issued is limited. ex-
cept for banks which gave orders in adj
vance of the passage of the bill and the is
sues at first are largely for the increase of
notes to the par value of bonds deposited,
little can yet be inferred regarding the
other increase, though applications indi-
cate that it will be large for interior banks.
The release Of millions employed in prep
aration for action under the new measure
has caused in bank returns considerable
changes, which are nominal rather than
real, and the money markets are undis-
turbed.
1.-THE reported settlement of the Carne-
gie-Frick controversy is of the greatest i'm
%portance to the iron and steel industry. A
fight between such forces would in the
end have affected prices and values be-
yond calculation. while the combination of
interests now said to be agreed upon may
prove revolutionary in its influence.
Whether markets will be Immediately af-
fected is not clear. AS yet the tendency
toward reaction of prices continues.
1.-THE advance in wheat which followed
statements of the quantity in farmers
hands has not been maintained and the de-
cline the past week has been 1Ssc, corn
also yielding about nc.
Failures for the week nave been 1873 in
the United States against 200 last year, and
q in Canada against "a last year"

PUBLISHERS FAIL.
J.. Appleton & Co. In ~TroubIc-A Re.
ceiver Is Observation-Disclosures
exceed $4,000, 900.

New York, March 23.-D. Appleton
e Co., one of the oldest and best
known publishing houses in the coun-
try, has failed. The company N
nounced on Thursday that it could
not meet its immediate pressing obi
cations and had gone into the bands
of a receiver, with liabilities of over
49, 0 900 and no assets available for
ready money. This announcement
created a profound sensation through
out the city. 1t is the general belief
that the failure is a direct and inn
mediate consequence of the recent
collapse of the Harpers, though the
two firms had little connection save
in a friendly way. The Appletons
had been in the habit for years of
borrowing sums varying from $780,
600 to 1900, 900 at n time from finan-
ciers in Wall street in order to tide
over short periods in which their own
capital was locked up in the publica-
ton of books, After the Harpers'
failure the f~inanciers were no longer
so ready TO advance money TO the
publishing firm. The banks also want
ed better security than the credit of
a house That had never failed in a
single obligation.
BY a curious chance, one of the
things hat affected the credit of the
firm was its own statement issued
February /. This statement gave its
assets and liabilities at that time.
While this statement showed an actual
excess of assets over liabilities of some
thing like So. 446, eco, it also showed, in
the opinion of financiers, no source
from which the Appletons could draw
for meeting immediate obligations.

told me of a case somewhat like our

my boy and in a short while his health
