DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, February 1.-R. G.
Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade
tomorrow will say:
The week in general business has
been without striking new feature, but
in this respect the outcome has been
favorable. Not one of the great indus
tries finds any scarcity of orders for
goods and business is done at prices
which show a slight tendency to rise.
except in textiles, which have been
affected by the reduction of 10 to 20
per cent. in the seasons opening prices
by the American Wooden Co. This cut
is expected to be indefinitely continued.
Developments in the money market,
however, indicate that the dry goods
trade is preparing for a season of ac-
tivity and the new wooden prices are
not lower than most buyers expected.
There is nothing d~iscouraging in the
slight decline in commodity prices
from January list to February lst and
railroad earnings continue large, in
CreasiLg Ill per cent. for three weeks
of January over last year and 26.2 per
e n e 1899. New York bank clear
ings for the week gained 1873 per cent.
over 1900, and outside New York the
gain is los per cent. There Is q loss
of 4 per cent outside New York for
the week. compared with 1899. but it is
due to the fact that February settle
ments were increased in that year.
While steel mills have contracts on
hand for their output from 8 to 6
months ahead, prices naturally rule
firm. Few actual advances are record
ed, but there is expectation of a high
er figure soon for Bessemer pig iron
while rumOrs are numerous as TO a rise
in billets, plates and structural ma
terials. All these lines show a brisk
demand. Nails and barbed wire adj
vanced 81 per ton, owing to heavy or
ders from the west, and it IS expected
that the few mills still idle will short
ly resume. Activity in Texas oil
fields has an influence on the sales of
pipes and tanks. Wages are in a fair
way to be satisfactorily adjusted at
valley furnaces; the reduction agreed
upon is less than originally announced.
Export orders decrease and the Rus
sian armor plate contract may not 90

were the best.
