DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, March 1.-R. G. Dun
G Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade to-
morrow will say:
Jobbing trade in groceries, hardware
and iron sp~ecialtieS has further gain
ed in volume in the east since our
last report and the retail business has
been good. except for a slow movement
of some descriptions of dry goods, not
ably clothing, of which dealers fear
they must carry over unusually large
stocks. In the west and southwest,
however. the season has been satisfac-
tory. The greatest Industrial combin-
alton ever arranged, that providing for
the union of the leading steel interests,
has not directly affected business as
yet, and may not do SO, otherwise
than by removing some of the unneces-
sary competition from the industry.
Nominal quotations OF iron and
steel are misleading. According to
published lists, it appears that, While
pig iron has steadily advanced for
many weeks, little change has occurred
in finished products. This discrepancy
is due to the figures fixed by the yari-
Gus pools and associations but at
which it is impossible to secure prompt
deliveries. Actual business is lone at
extensive advances over these prices,
billets selling at s21 at Pittsburg, or
more than a dollar above the nominal
rate. while plates, bars and structural
shapes are only available when special
terms are offered. Even on distant de-
l~iveries mills are asking higher figures
and every line of steel production at
Pittsburg has already covered full con-
| tracts for the next two months, while
there is a general feeling that material
advanced will occur before May l.
Bessemer pig iron sold this week for
| S15.25 and grey forge at $19; prices
| that have not been equalled since early
| in August. Coke production is en-
| ormaus, and Connellsyille prices at last
| show a definite advance. Further in
| crease appears in the sales of wool at
| the three chief eastern markets, $780,
| 500 pounds changing hands for the
week. against s,52S. $50 in the previous
| week. A year ago total transactions
were less than half the present weeks
| operations. There Is still no reason

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, March 1.-Irregularity
marked the course of the grain mar
kets to-day, the heaviness of wheat
forming q contrast with the corn
strength and the sympathetic hrmness
OF oats. Corn closed lac and oats a
shade higher, while wheat showed a
net decline of %@kc. Provisions also
were also irregular, closing 21ac to sc
lower to sc higher.
A strong market for corn existed
throughout the session and the volume
of business transacted reached an i'm
posing total. Speculative interest was
centered in this market and the pit
was congested by speculators attracted
from other parts of the floor by the &C
tivity of the play. Commission houses
operated heavily, but the pressure was
nicely balanced generally and it re-
manned for the prominent operators to
make or break prices. There was little
news of a decisive character. May
opened unchanged to 3sc higher at
4o%c to ALAG. Shorts became alarmed
at the strong character of the buying
and covered, forcing the market UP to
411ac. The wheat weakness proved in
fiuential on the advance and some corn
bought earlier was unloaded, May drop
ping back to 41bc, resisting stubborn
ly. The close was firm at that price,
nc over yesterday. Local receipts
were $50 cars, two of contract grade.
Deliveries on March contracts were
only 100, 600 bushels.
Under the influence of light north
west receipts a decrease in Argentine
shipments last week and the steadi-
ness OF cables, May wheat opened a
shade higher at 75Bc to 75c. and sold
to a limited extent at 76@761sc. Heavy
pressure was brought to bear on the
market and May dropped to 1870
75%c. Some long wheat coming out
on the decline. The aggressive strength
of corn caused covering under which
May rallied to 75B@76c. Persistent
selling by a big long and the lack OF
outside encouragement caused renewed
heaviness and the market during the
afternoon broke to 75B@75Mc. On
the dip shorts look profits and the
market broke to 75%@75hc, and closed
at that price, m@hc lower and rather
heavy in tone.
Export business was reported dull.
CSaDOaru c~ledfanceS Ill WHeaI anu
flour were equal to S375,000 bushels,
while primary receipts aggregated 49,
600 bushels, compared with 52S coo last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth report
