BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Report Of the Government on Wheat Crops is
More Than Satisfactory-Smaii De-
crease In Failures.

Il. G.. Dun's weekly Review of
Trade" says: The tone of general
business was better this week. Marked
activity in the distribution of mer-
chandise Is reflected in the gains of
45.0 per cent. In bank clearings at
New York. compared with 1900. and
.U.S per cent. over 1899, with gains OF
13.5 and 10.S for the same periods at
leading cities outside New York. Ac-

ernment report of the condition OF
wheat on April Is the surest possible
basis upon which expectation of CON
tinued commercial prosperity could be
founded. Railroad earnings in March
We're IA per cent. larger than last
year. and 32.4 per cent. over 1899. Pig
iron production on April / was at the
rate of 206.4IG tons weekly. This
quantity has been exceeded but twice
in the history of the industry, on De
cember /. 1899. when DOG, 500 tons were
produced, and on February /, 1900.
when the output was 2IS,O14 tons. The
remarkable feature of the situation
Is the decrease of G9.5tiS tons in fur
mace stocks uuring March In the face
OF this enormous production. while In
six months the loss In supply has
amounted to 203.656 tons. Quotations
are generally steady for all forms, ex-
cept plates. on which 81 ton more Is
demanded without restricting purchas
es. Speculation has been unusually
heavy in food stuffs. Prices receded
sharply from the top point of two
weeks ago, wheat losing about four
cents for spot. Two elements Of
