IRON AND STEEL
 QUIET ON SURFACE All Markets Are Strong for This Season of the Year CURRENT DEMAND IS LARGE Bradstreet and Dun Optimistic Over the General sltuatlon-short Sup
 plies of Coke Complained
 of In the West.
CURRENT DEMAND IS LARGE

New York February 2S.-Bradstreet's s tomorrow will say:
 Current demand Is of full volume for this season of the year, while business on spring account goes forward in large volumes This, too, in the face of un- favorable weather conditions in many sections of the country. Iron and steel are quieter on the surface, but consump- ton remains undiminished Short supplies of coke are still complained of in the West and furnaces are being banked for this reason. but the output of pig iron has been larger this week than for some time past. Structural.mills are filled with orders, most of them being five months behind, and the same is true of other products orders for which extend well up to the close of thesyear. Among the metals copper has displayed some strength this week.
 The heavy break in wheat prices. at the close of last week, contrary to ex- pectation. did not bring to light the re- ported large waiting business on export account Corn, among the cereals, noted the chief advance of the week. Hog products have been irregular, in sympa- thy with grain.
 Wheat dncluding fiouro exports for the week aggregate S,2S4,54O bushels against 3,6O9, ,435 last week and 523s,15 in this week last year. Exports from July l to date aggregate 1SO, ,16S. 43S bushels, against 133, 24S SIS last season.
 Corn exports aggregate 3l2,664 bushels against 247,S3O last week and 41S5. 449 last year July 1 to date corn exports have been 23,1192 254 bushels, as compared with 130, 575,5 ,59S last season.
 In textiles cotton and cotton goods ap- pear to be facing a crisis. The demand continues active, particularly from job bers in prints and ginghams, but staple cottons also display exceptional strength. The chief complaint, in fact, is of the slowness of deliveries and the pflucity of supplies Woolen goods display good ac- tivity though labor troubles are still un- settled Wool is steady. with supplies held within narrow limits.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, February 2s.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The shortest month of the year was further ourtailed by. two holidays and handicapped by the most severe storms of the winter, industrial and trade re- suits were most satisfactory. The clos ing week brought a general resumption of activity in lines that suffered from the weather and preparations for an excep- tionally heavy shipping business was re- ported at many points; southern cities alone being backward.
 Pig iron production suffers at time when a maximum output would not be excessive. Pressure for structural ma terial Is already severe, and will prob ably be still more so as the regular build ing season draws nearer Further harden ing of quotations is reported and inquiries for deliveries in 1903 are not exceptional. More foreign steel has been engaged and domestic concerns are still bidding in the German market. Footwear buyers are leaving New England without doing much more than a fair sample business outside special lines.
 Makers of cotton goods are very eau tious about undertaking future deliveries owing to the uncertainty as to labor and raw material. Export orders are still available but prices are slightly below the views of holders As a rule woolen goods are we'll maintained and in brisk demand. But new lines of heavy woolens are not sought
 Cereals opened the week wit h a decided reaction. As usual, speculative liquidation carried the decline too far and there fol- lowed the customary recovery
 Wheat came into sight rather more free ly than year ago, and the Atlantic shin ment of flour made a better comparison than In recent preceding weeks. but total exports of wheat from the United States flour included, were but 3,1s5,O52 bushels against 4324.249 a year ago.
 Corn showed the customary loss in both movements, receipts amounting to only g. 2'3l2'664 bushels against 4,sss 7S3 last year. while Atlantic coast shipments were 1s4.- 6S2 bushels compared with g. 421, ,6s2 in the same week of 1901
 Cotton ruled fairly steady at the recent advance, which attract ed more liberaI marketing at the south, but supplies in hrst hands are reported very low.
 Wool has been taken less freely Inv mills but dealers show no lack of conf,- dence in the future of that staple.
 Failures for the week number PIX in tba United States against 179 last year. and as in Canada against 31 last year.
