DUN'S REVIEW

New York, May 1S.-R. G. Dun & Co., weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Business is not what it was a year ago, but men do not agree in defining the diff ference. The working force, then increas- ing fast is now decreasing. Works are stopping to relieve excessive output in manufactures of paper, cotton, wool, leather and some forms of steel. while prices suddenly reduced for the same purpose in lead, wire and nails. What seems to some merely spring dullness," others think the beginning of reaction" The remedy for one difficulty does not fit the other, and there is more meaning of events.
 In the place of the wild speculation in securities which swelled exchanges year ago, there has come such liquidation that twenty preferred industrial stocks have sold this week at prices averaging $S3 per share, though the same stocks sold in April last year for $99.66 per share, and twenty common have sold this week for $3S 4O which sold last year at S6.99, double the price. Yet many of these companies have earned and paid good dividends, and all have enjoyed a year of extraordinary business. Business in some lines has been hindered by the holding of prices so high as to check consumption.
 The closing of works by the steel and wire company, followed by the reduction of $20 per ton in prices of it's products; the closing of many paper mills because Of over production; the sudden reduction of 70 cents per hundred pounds In leading price to which it was raised late in De- cember; the report that tin plate works may be closed while for similar reasons, created a feeling that some business no longer has the guarding and guiding in fiuence of prices answering quickly to the demand for consumption. But progress to- ward healthy adjustment has been rapid within the past week.
 Transactions at Pittsburg in Bessemer pig seem to be largely on guaranteed prices," so that definite quotations are avoided, though much Bessemer from the east is offered at very low figures. Gray forge Is a shade lower there and local coke

BRADSTREET'S
 TRADE REVIEW Iron and Steel Situation is No
 Stronger. LARGE EXPORT BUSINESS Is the Report from Birmingham, With the Industrial Situation in This District on the Whole
 Som what Better
LARGE EXPORT BUSINESS

New York, May 1S.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 Continued dullness in many branches and further shading in several staple lines constitute the leading features in the busi- ness situation this week. The weakness of prices is displayed in lower quotations for corn, pork, butter, cheese, wool and cot ton among the great agricultural products, and petroleum and lead among mineral products. Wheat Is slightly higher partly owing to less favorable crop reports here and abroad Quite a sharp speculative break in the old crop months occurred as the result of less satisfactory foreign ad- vices, some liquidation and rather better crop reports, particularly from the eastern half of the cotton belt. The new crop months have been fairly well held, how ever. Wool has been shaded again, not Withstanding the fact that rather more strength is noted in London sale prices, where supplies of desirable grades are re- ported not excessive.
 The distribution of dry goods has been within narrow limits, and wholesale and recorder business is reported particularly slack. On the other hand, retail business
 
 sudden spurt of hot weather. Leather is dull and some shading in hides is reported at the east
 The iron and steel situation is no strong CT and shaded prices fail to develop much new business. Bessemer pig is nomnally unchanged at Pittsburg, but the same grade of iron made outside of that city is being offered below current quotations Structural material continues the strong est feature of the trade. From Birming- ham come reports of continued large ex- port business, making more money in two weeks past than in two months previously, but the quotations are largely nominal and the outlook is rather more uncertain. The Industrial situation is on the whole rather better than for some time past in that new disturbances are fewer and some old ones have been settled up, but the practi- cal tie-up at Chicago is still unbrol1en.
 At. St. Louis all kinds of business have been hurt by the strike of street railway employees, and uncertainty at other cities, particularly in the building trades, has had unsettling effect upon lumber.
 Wheat including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 5,17S,422 bushels, against 2,212,200 bushels in the corresponding week of 1S99 Since July this season the ex- ports of wheat aggregate 17l,6S4 42S bushels, against 205, ,270, 990 bushels last year.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate B. 437, ,994 bushels, against 2,753414 bushels in this week a year ago Since July 1 this season corn exports aggregate 1S1 ,2J9 bushels, against 14S, 032, 221 bushels during the same period year ago.
 Business failures in the United States for the week number 155, as compared with l6S in this week a year ago.
