sRApsT7EET's REVIEW.

New York, February 6.-Bradstreets will say tomorrow:
 IJnfayorable weather conditions may re- tard. but they do not arrest trade and industrial development which continues in exceptionally full volume for this sea- son of the year. Spring trade. as pointed out heretofore is earlier and in larger volume than in any previous year and the remarkable steadiness of prices is evil dence that stability In political conditions is expected for some time to come. The current reports from the dry goods trade are among the most cheerful ever record ed at this season of the year. Cotton goods note exceptional activity and strength but other lines of shipping trade are busy iron and steel are active for this season, lumber production and de- mand is brisk, hardware is in heavy de- mand.
 In the iron and steel trade the fuel sit uation is but little better owing to the congestion in car transportation between the coke regions and consuming points.
 The late spell of mild weather has cer- tainly brought about an improvement in the coal situation. Cold weather was re- sponsible for lower prices of butter and eggs in January and some hog products also declined; but cereals remained steady and textiles nearly all advanced, as did several kinds of iron and steel, copper, tin and naval stores offsetting the lower movement in quotations of country pro- duce, coal and coke, petroleum, hides and some grades of leather Owing to the steadiness of the large majority of prices the net movement of prices as whole was only very slightly downward, less than one per cent being noted for the month of January. Chief among the staples showing strength is raw cotton While buyers of iron and steel evince a tendency to stand off as regards distant deliveries, pressing needs for immediate purposes induce numerous small sales, which make considerable aggregate of trade material.
 Finished products are as active as here tofore Rails, structural materials, wire. bars, railroad material and even tin plates are in active request
 Some large orders for pipes have also been booked, but a good-sized order for steel rails had to be placed abroad owing to the inability of domestic manufactur- CTS to make deliveries. The most import ant interest in trade reports orders on Its books for 550o tons, the largest future de- livery of which there is record.

ON THE RACE TRACK
At New Orleans.

New Orleans, February 6.-Monas and Brief were the only winning favorites and the latter's victory was won at the price of serious injury to Jockey Redfern. The lads masterly riding overcome the ob- stacles which the mare met in the race and just as her nose crossed the finish she stepped in a hole in the track, stumbled and fell. Redfern was rendered uneon- scious by the fall and with but a brief interval remained so until removed from the track. Every care is being given and late tonight his physicians express the belief that his injuries are more painful than severe. After a days dellberation the stewards took up the case of the boys father, w. w. Redfern, today; fined him $100 and refused him admission to the paddock during the remainder of the meeting. The trouble arose from the charges made in public by the senior Red fern that Pyrrho was dead" when his son rode him. McGonigle was sold today on private terms to J. J. McCafferty and ran in his colors. Lady Alberta was run up to $14OO and sold to J. J. Me- Cafferty. Ed l. was claimed Weather clear; track good.
