Gen .ral Trade Conditions.

New York Especial. )-R. c. Dun z
Co. weekly review OF trade says: The
position OF general business is satisfac-
tory, being marked by increased activity
of retail operations throughout the
West, and in some Atlantic seaboard
cities, which is considered the forerun-
ner OF generally good Spring trade.
New enterprise is reflected in the largest
demand for many months for builders
hardware and general materials and
contracts for prompt delivery OF all
structural goods are very difficult to
place. Collections are prompt and rail-
road tonnage is well maintained.
Quotations OF pig iron and finished
steel tend toward a higher level. There
is still the wholesome element OF con-
servatisn, which prevents violent huctu-
ations and keeps the advance at a mod
crate rate, but the tendency of the mar
ket is undenably toward better things.
The amount OF cotton coming for
ward at the South indicates that planta-
ton stocks are by no means exhausted,
and preparations for the new crop
promise an enormous acreage. From
the top point OF the season the price
has fallen $IS.45 a bale, and the only

War talk induced some short cover

crop reports were in the main favorable.
Corn has been in good export demand
but is held down by increases in sup.
plies, weather at the West keeping
good.
Great strength and activity fully rp

the market were seen during the week.
Prices advanced in the early days OF the
week and the steel industrial stocks
fairly shared honors with the railroad
list. In both departments OF the market
new records as to quotations were

MENTAL DEPRESSION. "

night, to the effect that Germany would
soon have to fight against overwhelm-
ing odds, is at variance with all the
declarations of Count Won Bulow, the
imperial chancellor, who presents Ger
many as surrounded by friends. The
Norwaerts is of the opinion that the
Emperor's speeches are momentary
signs Of mental depression occasioned
by the Bremen outrage, which the EN-
peror continues to attribute to a deep
laid plan, instead of regarding it as the
irresponsible deed of an epilectic. This
opinion is Systematically strengthened
by the conservative press, clippings from
which persons of the Emperor's entour-
age take care regularly to place before
him.
