market. Several new downtown deals
are reported. and also the sale of large
tract of acre property.
Larger imports of steel and iron seem
unavoidable. Manufacturers are offering
abroad higher prices for steel billets than
were asked by American producers last
year. y Southern railroad is reported
TO have placed abroad an order for 2j.O00
tons Of rails, being unable to secure de-
livery from home makers when needed.
The capacity OF structural mills is made
quate and there is talk Of importing
structural materia! from abroad. Building
operations are becoming more active. and
this lack OF material will become more
pronounced when spring comes.
The United States Steel Corporation
clings to its set policy OF refusing bonuses
offered for prompt delivery. Where iron
and steel markets are regarded by so
many good judges as the most reliable in
dication OF business the resistance tc
temptation to raise prices becomes Of spe-
cial interest. Steadiness in these impor-
tant products works against the proba-
bility of ovcrproduction. The situation
is peculiar. however. The official QUOTA
ton on steel bars is said TO be merely
nominal one. as manufacturers are sold
so far ahead that they are not taking
orders at that figure.
Eggs reached 301. cents dozen, whole

of the combined systems is material.
The most spectacular occurrence III the
business world during the week WAS the
failure OF the City Savings Bank OF De
troit. The failure. however, was the out
come of personal dishonesty. and none of
the other banking institutions in the city
was involved.
As TO the situation in the iron and steel
trade. the production Of pig iron i'll Jan
uary amounted TO over l.4JO.OO0 tons.
and stocks were reduced from 10000
tons on Jan. to l22.0GO on Feb. l. AT

furnaces We're 55G.1G4 tons. The output
is insufficient in the unique situation now
prevailing in this industry. There has
been decrease in production on account
of storms. which hampered railroads and
made il impossible for some furnaces TO

in part to the busy condition of indus

accumulate. There is talk of further
advance in pig lead. and trade reports in
dicate an unprecedented activity for this
season Of the year. The copper market
is still unsettled and purchases are small.
Exports of copper are still growing over
last years record. Total exports of the
United States for the seven months 70

with the corresponding period OF the pre-
vious fiscal year. while imports increased

is with a time when exports were high.
Shipments TO Porto Rico and Hawaii also
were included for the last fiscal year. In
the calendar year 1901 this country held
its position as the leading exporting na-
ton of the world.
Money is plentiful and rates are un-
changed at I to per cent. Country bal
ances have grown enormously and out
side banks are buying much commercial
paper. The Imperial Bank OF Germany
has reduced its rate again. II Is now B
per cent. the same as the Bank OF Eng
land. There has been a distinct change
for the better in Germany. The elimina-
tion by failure of many unsafe enter
prises has strengthened the position Of
other enterprises there.
The jobbing trade shows an improve
ment and buyers are much more numer-
Gus. Jobbers report satisfactory busi-
ness so far. Print cloths are firm. Cot
ton advanced and this made sellers OF
cotton goods somewhat conservative in
anticipation of higher range of prices.
Wool holds firm. Silk goods are strong

Leather prices are steady, and the atti-
tude of buyers indicates that they do

The labor outlook is brighter. 1t is
generally favorable in coal districts. The
woolen mills have reopened, but the diff
ferences with the weavers have not been
finally adjusted.
