REVIEW OF TRADE.


New York, March 31.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Progress toward better things has
been unmistakable. 1t was a year
ago when the frenzied speculation
in industrial stocks reached its cul-
mination with prices averaging high
err than at any time since, while rail-
road stocks after some decline rose
$1.1S per share higher in September
and after the fall in both which
ended in December have now risen
$685. per share to the highest point
of this year. The advance during the
past week has been remarkably Wig
orous and with more public support
than before. Wheat exports fall far
below last years, amounting in the
week to 9,766,s9l bushels, against A.
1O5 1856 bushels last year. The price
has advanced ~ cents, with state
ments that the crop of France is
greatly reduced, though it is rather
early to make any such estimate. The
exports of corn again prove the mag
nitude of foreign demand for cereals
as the extraordinary movement OF
last year is closely approached, H.
| 794,s75 bushels having gone abroad
| in four weeks against 13,1OS,S1l
bushels last year. The western re
ceipts are nearly three times as large
as in the same week last year, indi
eating an abundant supply on hand
but the price has risen ~ cents.
Cotton has declined one-fonrtf
cents this week but supplies are 81
small and easily controlled that thu
future cannot well be predicted
| Wool has declined fully one per cent
on the average Of revised quotations
and more for fleece and fine or flint

cents clean with medium clothing a

Iron is growing weaker except il
Bessemer pig, which is held at $949
in Pittsburgh in spite of small sale
of eastern at lower figures. In fin
ished products no further change ar

equivalent in working hours and also
will secure slight increase in the
averages of the workmen,

be shown, Notwithstanding the
charges OF bribery against some ffty
persons, including thirty-eight mem.
bers of the legislature, that there had
been no proceedings against any Of
the men thus involved i'm any OF the

that the present proceedings were not
sustained by public sentiment. Faulk,
ner said the prosecution was con.

jealousy"
Outlining the defense Faulkner said
itwould show the proceedings against
Clark in reality originated in the sem
atorial contest of 1893, when the idea
of springing pretended exposure of
Clark upon the legislature was con.
ceiyed by the DAILY faction, and that
the leader of that faction had turned
prophet in December, 1896, declaring
that IF Clark showed his head some-
thing would be heard to drop and that
he would drive him out of the state"
