At Winnemrcca, New, the First Ma

STEADY INCREASE OF BUSINESS.
Sharp Rise in Cotton Hoists Prices of
Staple ComruOditi es,

K. g. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Prices of staple commodities
are higher for the week, hoisted by the
sharp rise in cotton, but in manufactured
products there is little change, though
steady increase of business at the current
ievel is satisfactory More orders are
being received at iron mills, and prices
are steady. In structural and finished
material there is much business, and ac-
tivity is becoming almost universal in the
iron region. Boots and shoes begin to
recover after many weeks of idle wheels
throughout New England In the Wool
market sales last week aggregated ,
643,OOO pounds, against 12,056,500 a year
ago. Failures for the week were 1875 in
the United States, against 149 last year,
and 30 in Canada. against 81 last year"
