TRADE CONDITIONS.


NEW YORK, Jan. Or. G. Dun
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
In spite Of the Interruptions Of the hol
idays and unusually heavy annual settle
ments in all lines of business, the new
year opens with indications of furthe.
progress. 1t is relief in iron and steel
as well as some of the textile markets
that tension has not developed with re
spect to labor. There is no lack of con
tracts offered at steady prices in tht
country's leading industry, and in sOmi
departments of cotton goods there is {
better movement, though speculation ha.
depressed the price Of the raw material
otherwise, n decline in wheat is the only
noteworthy movement in staples.
The ordinary measures Of business con
tinur to make gratifying exhibits. Rail
road earnings reported for the month o'
December indicate a gain OF 80 per cent
over 1SJ9 and 10 per cent over 1888
Bank exchanges for the leading citic
outside New York show an increase OF
lnl per cent over last year and gain o.
Is per cent over 1899,
No alteration has yet occurred IL
quotations of iron and steel products
and this industry Is on such IL firm foun
daton that most large concerns have
maintained wages at the old scale, in
stead of making the reductions antici'
pa'ed, Iron ore prices are also un'
changed.
The nlariiet FOR textiles has been fen.
turrless, as the holidays and stock taking
reduced business TO limited dimensions.
Local johbing and retail trade Is brisk
