DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, January 16.-R. G. Dun &, Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Fuel shortage Is still the one seriously disturbing element in the industrial sit- uation. Transporting facilities have been diverted from other merchandise to the disadvantage of shippers, yet iron fur naces are unable to secure sufficient sup plies Of coke and many other manufac- turing plants are closed because of in- adequate coal delievries. Mines are more fully operated but there Is no prospect of normal conditions until spring. Ex- tremely low temperatures during the past week stmuated distribution of heavy clothing and other seasonable goods. Retail trade was accelerated by the customary clearance sales, especially in dry goods and kindred branches Tray cling men are sending In large orders for spring goods, the volume of advance bus mess surpassng the customary amount for this time of the year.
 Quiet conditions In the iron and steel markets do not mean dullness or dimin- ishing consumption but merely the over sold condition of furnaces and mills. along with uncertainty about keeping plants active on day to day supply of coal. Inquiries are numerous. especially in structural lines, but makers are not ready to accept bids until the future appears more definite. Eastern manufacturers of footwear are employed on spring shoes but new orders are light for later deliv- cry, although western jobbers purchase freely of fall samples. Quiet conditions In leather have been succeeded by an in- creased demand for hemlock sole and standard upper. the manufacturers plac- ing liberal orders. Last weeks slight re- covery in the hide market was not sus- tained. Dry goods trading has increased in volume, buyers arriving In greater numbers and the prospect favors still more activity in the latter half of the month. There Is little disposition to an- ticipate wants in the cotton goods divis- ion, but immediate needs have evidently grown more pressing. In the woolen goods division the opening of piece dyes was made at an advance but not as much as some sellers anticipated.
 Only moderate fluctuations have oc- cured in the great staples with the ten- dency upward and a conspicuously firm tone in evidence. Higher prices have been charged for refined sugar and raw grades and firm, but weakness Is the feature in coffee. owing to excessive supplies at all points

NAVY IS SHORT OF COAL.
Lack of Fuel Is Causing Considerable
 Concern Among Officials.

Washington, January 16.-Shortage of coal is causing some concern in the navy The various navy yards are appealing to the bureau of equipment for fuel. Ar engagements were made today for the ship ment of coal from the depot at New London, Conn, to the New York navy yard. where the fuel supply is practi- cally exhausted.
 Through the foresight of Rear Admiral Bradford, the coal famine thus far has not affected the navy, iron-clad contracts having been closed before the strike for the delivery of coal to the navy at normal prices. Unless relief comes soon, however. the contractors may be unable to supply the increased demand that is existing throughout naval stations of the country.
