DUN,S REVIEW

New York, April 20.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Formal reduction of s per ton in the price of plates and bars, and closing of mills by the American Steel and Wire com pany. have filled the week with surprises. In the stock market and in the market TOT steel and iron products changes have be- gun the end of which cannot well be fore- seen.
 Apart from the disturbance in specula- ton there has been produced measure or distrust regarding prices that are main tained by the grat combinations which fog the present tend to deter buying. In the iron business the formal reductions were almost wholly anticipated in actual sales. Some urgent and important contracts have been made including that for the New York tunnel requiring 70,00o tons at prices not stated, but it is known that many others have been deferred until the prospect is clearer.
 There is a slightly better demand for hides at Chicago, attributed to their im- proving condition, but the distribution Of boots and shoes does not keep all the fac- tories at work. Some are closed many more are running part time, and very few of these in operation have orders for single month. There Is no room for doubt that greatly restricted buying has been caused by the high prices asked, which the makers declare unavoidable until prices or leather yleiu
 The textile industries have large orders vet to be filled, which keep many or the mills busy but there are many others less fortunate, and their hunt for orders without much regard for prices, cause irregularity in the lines not of established position The staple woolen and worsted goods hold steadily, as the makers need no more con- tracts. but in less favored lines, both for mems wear and in dress goods the business is by no means satisfactory. Wool has been inactive without change in prices. Cotton goods are by some sold at concessions for future delivery, as all realize that present prices will not long control cost of pro- duction.
 Raw cotton is held at 9.S1 cents with all the more ease, because there seems to be nobody in this country impatient to buy except in the speculative markets. North ern mills have taken, with the stocks they held last September, enough for the whole years needs The spinners abroad who have yet to supply themselves are paying over 9.3 cents, the average export price for s33, 900 worth shipped in March. In spite of decrease in other staples these were the largest merchandise exports ever known except in December, 1898. and the value of the minor domestic exports, chiefly man. factured, rose to $59, 509 in March. a sum never approached in any other month.

WAS NOT DONE BY
BOERS OR FENIANS.
Opinion That the Weiland Dynamite
ing Outrage Was Mum to Dr.
vert Shfpments.

Special Dispatch 10 the Post-Intelligencer.
TORONTO, Ont, April 24-john Mur-
ray. chief of the ontaria government de-
tective force, has returned from three
DAYS investigation into the dynamite
outrage on the welland canal. and gives
as his opinion that neither Beers nor
Fenians had anything TO do with the
clumsy attempt. but that IL win turn out
to be case of an attempt by oapial-
lists or union labor men to frighten ship
pers into using another canal route for
grain traffic.
This opinion was formed after an In
terview with United States officers who
have 'shadowed" the men accused. and
also with the three prisoners. as well as
with hotel men and others who are to be
important witnesses.
Murray also has in his possession let
ters. etc. found on the men arrested. The
fact that the canal was not dynamited
at the aqueduet part. where year
would have been required 10 repair the
damage. indicates that no Beers or Fe-
mans had a hand In the job. That II
was almost in the daylight when the at
tempt was made shows that the guilty
parties were not well trained in the
work, and the almost unanimous opinion
is there was a good deal of fake" about
it.
