TRADE REPORT.

New York;. G.. Dun & co. s
Weekly Review of Trade last week
says:

improved the outlook. Foreign indus
trial markets will quickly benefit by
the development of that country.
while return to active gold mining
will have helpful influence in none
tary circles. Owing to the present ex-
ceptional home consumption produc-
ers In this country may not be able
to take advantage of the opportunity
Immediately, but even the indirect eff
fects must be beneficial. Domestic
conditions have still but the one
drawback of labor disputes, which
have reduced the earning power of a
large forge. Outside the limitations
OF this influence there is little cause
FOR complaint. Orders are large and
distribution is less interrupted by the
shortage of cars. Railway earnings
Tor May show an increase of G.S per
cent over last year and ia per cent
over 1900.
satisfactory weather in the leading
producing regions had a depressing
influence on grain quotations, and last
weeks advance was lost. Cash prices
were slow to react, owing to the ex-
tremely strong statistical position, but
tne next crop options fully reflected
the program at the farms.
Failures during the week in the
United states were 21S, against 1914
the previous week.
