BUSINESS SHOWS REACTION.
Conditions, However, Are Not Thought
TO Threaten Disaster.

r.. G. Dun g. Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says: Failure returns for April
are especially valuable because they show
that there does not exist in the most i'm
portant branches OF business the condi-
tons which threaten disaster. They call
attention to one line in which some cur
tailment had seemed from previous re-
turns to be in progress and had been hast
ened BY extensive strikes in the building
trades. The simple fact is that some re-
action from the abnormal excitement ana
expansion and rise of prices last year was
necessary to continued prosperity. It's
duration may therefore be expected TO de-
pend Oh the promptness with which pro-
duetion and prices adjust themselves to
actuld demands. All exports from New
YORK in four weeks have been 33.9 per
cent, or ever S11 100000. larger than last
year, and with the gain of $15,0Oo,OOO
in cotton from other ports the months
aggregate for merchandise should rise
above SI00V00,U00. Imports snow d small
gain. bG' viii hardly exceed S1O,OO0,0OO.
Failures for the week have been 200 in
the United States against 1853 last year.
