A QUIET MONTH.
The Chief Industries show Less
New Business Than for JIM
nary 1900.

New York, Feb. ;k-R. @. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: This year
starts with much OF the years business
already lone and all comparisons will
prove misleading II that fact Is not taken
into account. Last year the certainty OF
great Improvement had come before the
year opened and there was a rush TO get
in orders before works became w
for months ahead in most lines and prices
had already advanced so far that recon-
had already commenced in some branches
and was thought probable in others. with
the ore exception Of wooden manuiac-
ture, the chief Industries have met less new
business In January than last year, though
deliveries on previous contracts have been
larger than a year ago. In work turned
out, the past month probably surpasses an
others, and rightly considered the lact
that new contracts for works already Wen
supplied are smaller than last year, Is not
OF itself discouraging. The great burst Oh
speculation last year swelled January pay
ments through clearing houses far beyond
those OF this year at New York, and such
payments at other (54O cities also aver
aged per business day a n larger thah
this year. But a much greater decrease
must have appeared in transactions con-
nected with formation of new comptnies.
THE iron and steel Industry is so FAR
tied up by contracts reaching through most
OF the year that the effect Of production
exceeding consumption is felt only In some
branches. A little lower prices have been
made for foundry iron in considerable
transactions, though Bessemer does not
yield, but steel billets are offered by some
at SO per ton. Differences between pro-
ducers and some of the largest
of steel block the market.
Failures for the week have been 2S2 In
the United states, against 24 last year, and
81 in Canada, against 25 last year"
