WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF GENERAL TRADE Prices Are Gradually Settling in
 a Natural Range. COTTON FUTURE UNCERTAIN Foreign spinners Report Ample Provis- ions for the Future The Deadlock
 in Iror and Steel Continues
 Throughout Country
COTTON FUTURE UNCERTAIN

New York, May 25.-R. G. Dun & Go. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Transition to more natural range of prices after --me of extraordinary buying speculation and rise, is not wholly delight some, however needful it may be to busi- ness But the gradual change this year, though wearying, has given opportunity in various branches to avoid losses. The tables given by this paper have shown that the highest point for all prices was March 16 and after two months of slow decline the range for all prices was but 4.5 per cent lower, May 16. But the past week has added it's full share, fall of 412 per cent in cot
 ton, per cent. in pig iron, 1.5 per cent. in iron products ? per cent. in hides, 21s per cent. in boots and shoes and 312 per cent in leather, 3i2 per cent. in petroleum and
 little in many other products.
 The decline in cotton was rendered sensa-
 tional by the failure of the firm which had most strongly resisted it, and for some
 months had led the campaign for high prices in the belief that stocks for the rest , of this year would scarcely meet demands, with the next crop in doubt. The course of the market for some months to come can not well De pISulCltui dS pIONlSiOh Aoi e'iS future has been made by spinners on both sides of the ocean.
 Weakness in wool, as yet not enough to prompt heavy buying, has hindered free purchases of goods without doubt and there is of late somewhat more complaint of cancellations and of slow collections. But the market is waiting rather than un- healthy, and with quick adjustment to a lower range of prices for material 1t might soon become as active as at any other time for years.
 The nominal price of Bessemer pig is held without change at Pittsburg and without transactions, while prices of finished prod ucls of iron and steel have declined more than 10 per cent. within two two months without any reduction in rails, structural shapes or in sheets. No. light pit is quoted here at $21 and the best anthracite at $22 at Philadelphia. But doubt about sufficient supplies of steel, making iron Tor coming months seem the one impeachment to renewals of activity. Tin is also a shade lower, with copper and lead unchanged this week.
 Sudden extensive changes are now re- ported in leather, boots and shoes, appar- ently resulting from the unyieldinS refusal of many dealers to place anything like their usual orders for the season at prices re- gently asked.
