stiffen the foreign demand. Nor has
wool changed in quotations, though
some sales of fair amount are report
ed at such prices as 81 cents for Ohio
Xxx and SO cents for clothing, territory
cleaned, but manufacturers are not dis
posed to do anything and the west
asks prices which dealers have 70 rea-
son for paying. The demand for woolen
goods is small and disappointing. and
except in staples which are steadily
well sold up, prices are not encourag-
ing.

1923 cases, against 339, ,498 cases last year,
304, ,061 cases in 1898, and less in any
other year. New business bears DO pro
portion to the present output, and the
number of works which are closed or
running part time is increasing. Manu-
facturers realize that this is a result
of prices asked and of slow rail distri-

not be made without loss.

The tendency toward lower prices is

REACTION HAS COME.
Tendency Toward Lower Prices
All Along the Line.

New York. April 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Gold begins to go abroad and prices
OF iron products break sharply in the
same week. Four months of the new
year have passed and business does not
so expand as to need the large increase
of circulation which the new monetary
bill has permitted, nor enough to sus-
tain all the extraordinary advance in
prices last year. The abundance of
gold and OF currency and the large dis
bursements by the treasury in exchange
OF bonds have rendered rates for money
unusually low for the season here while
rare industrial and speculative activity
IN Europe with the war in South Africa
nave tended to make money dearer
abroad So new gold from Alaska an
sWers the loss Of supply from the Trans
Vaal and America, building up in credits
abroad a breastworh against prostra-
tlon in future here as in the past, caused
by troubles in Europe.
The reaction in prices came where it
was expected least in the industry more
1ully organized than any other to check
competition and in the branch which
through contracts covering rod making
ana other machinery and through
patents, seemed more fully controlled
IMAM any other. Reduction of $40 per
ton in wire nails, barbed wire and gal
Nanlzed fence and S1S in smooth wire
showed that no control can afford to
mold prices SO high as to check consump-
ton. In a week the prices Of iron pro-
ducts have declined 5.6 per cent and
since February Z, 10.3 per cent.
As the wire and nail prices have been
relatively the highest others in the iron
and steel industry can be expected to
fall in like measure. But pig iron is
weaker. No local coke at Chicago is
$3.50 and southern pig is also lower.
Plates and bars can be obtained for
about 1-S cents in good contracts. both

proposed advance in sheets to 3.6 cents
