TRADE IMPROVES

 factory-Labor Controversies
 Cause Some Trouble.
FAILURES SHOW INCREASE

New York. May 29.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say.
 The weather conditions have improved, particularly as regards the great staple crops, although considerable losses have occurred in garden truck and other minor farm products at the east owing to the drouth. Labor controversies are still the most disturbing factors in the situation, and 1t Is difficult to anticipate how far distribution of merchandise will be af- fected. Structural material or all kinds Is moving slowly because of strikes in the building trades. which are now exercis- ing more widespread influence than other disagreements. At the east the trade sit uation is satisfactory as a rule Railway earnings thus far reported for May were 12.8 per cent larger than last year, and surpassed those of 1901 by 25.6 per cent.
 Nominally, the average of quotations for cotton goods is higher than week ago, but actually the, situation Is scarce ly altered. An artificial situation exists as to cotton goods that is complicated by labor conGroversies and by the weather
 Failures this week numbered 206 against 193 last year.

eRApsT7EET's REVIEW.

New York, May 29-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Wholesale trade awaits crop, labor and price developments. Too much rain Is reported from western crops, but par ticularly for corn, the planting of which is still delayed.
 The iron situation has been partly cleared up this week by the buying by the leading interests of 5000 tons of pig iron at a price 50 to 75 cents below nomil nal quotations of last week. The sales have been on the basis of $lS.50 valley furnaces, or $1935 at Pittsburg
 A sale of 10000 tons for June delivery has brought higher price. The tendency toward readjustment of prices of iron is also shown in the reduction of 25 to 50 cents per ton at seaboard markets. Struc- tural material Is in good demand, not withstanding labor troubles.
 The outlook as to the country's export trade Is by no means depressing. Ex- ports of manufactured goods for the month of April were only twice exceeded in the country's history. Cotton goods manufacturers have met the advance in the raw material of nearly PIE cents per pound, with advances in bleached cottons and ginghams, Buyers. however. are slow to take hold. A rather better move ment in mems wear woolens Is noted at the east, but worsteds are slow. Women's dress woolens are firm.
 Wheat dncluding four) exports for the week ending May 8 aggregate 4,677, 6S bushels, against 5293,373 last week.
 Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate POS 571, ,S10 bushels, against 233 424,946 last season. Corn exports aggregate 1,179. 739 bushels, against 1,S14,1S6 last year. For the fiscal year exports are 61. 436,S41 bush els. against 25, 900, ,597 last season.
 Business failures In the United States for the week ending May 2S number 10I against 155 last week. In Canada failures for the week number 16.
