DuN,S REVIEW.

New York, May 15-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Warmer weather has made It possible for the retail trade to regain part of the earlier losses in volume of transactions, and the level of quotations for staple. lines of merchandise is we'll maintained. Wholesale trade in reasonable goods is quiet. Jobbers report increased activity in several lines of wearing apparel. Cloth Ing manufacturers are busy on fall sam pies, which are unusually late. Furniture ana harness factories are notably well supplied with orders, and there Is no evil dence of dulness in machinery or hard ware. At most points there are indica- tions of improvement in mercantile col lections, the favorable progress of farm work having good effect at the interior while heavy sales of fertilizers testify to the extensive preparation for large crops. Industrial conditions would be exception ally encouraging were 1t not for the vast army of men voluntarily idle. Railway earnings continue to show the usual gain, May figures thus far surpassing last year by l3.4 per cent, and those or 1901 by 29.3 per cent.
 An unprecedented production of pig iron III <AlAil was Dy n uecfeuSe in furnace stocks, testifying to vigorous consumption and wholesome conditions in the steel industry. 1t Is not surprising that somewhat easier tone Is noticed, however, because the scarcity of fuel earlier In the season had retarded the output and forced quotations above nor mai. especially on prompt shipments
 Textile manufacturing conditions are extremely irregular, some improvement being noted at woolen mills, while cotton spinners are In bad position. More busi- ness has been done in mems wear wool ems and worsteds than at any recent date, tardy supplemental orders having at last begun to appear. Aside from few ex- ceptional cases in which small advances were secured, there are no alterations in prices. Carpets opened at the expected advance and met good demand. Woolen mills are harassed by the phenomenal quotations for raw material, being un- able to obtain even small concessions from buyers of goods who only purchase such small quantities as are required im- mediately. Not only has there been no advance In print cloths, but a special sale at cents occurred. There was no demand from producers, but there was a resale of goods purchased at higher figure earlier In the season. Mills have not made any general reduction Tn output, although the subject Is under considera- tion. Failures this week were l96 in the United States against 22S last year and 1S In Canada compared with r a year ago.

same time year before last 671,000, and ahead of 1O0 by 1,495,0
 The amount brought into siLl.t during the past week has been 73,728, against 62, ,128 for the seven days ending this date last year, 21,263 year before last and 50, 462 same time in 1900, and for the fifteen days of May 1t has been 176,429, against oYg9S last year, 722 year before last and 110,566 same time in 1900.
 The movement since September shows receipts at all United States ports 7,5O2, 371, against 7,327,350 last year, 6,9S0,24O year before last and 6422,646 same time in 1900; overland across the Mississippi, Ohio and Potomac rivers to northern mills and Canada, 1929, 636, against 1O62,221 last year, 1,006, 106 year before last and 1,116 36S same time in 1900; interior stocks in excess of those held at the close of the commer- cisl year, 43,O45. against 72,044 last year, 373371 year before last and decrease of 54,331 under the same time in 1900; south ern mill takings, 1,619,500, against 1,43SSo9 last year. 1.164,249 year before last and 1215, 245 same time in 1900.
 These make the total movement for the 257 days from September l to date 10, 194 552 against 9900,974 last year, 9,523,- 966 year before last and S,69y92S same time in 1900.
 Foreign exports for the week have been 66, 2O3 against 66,173 last year, making the total thus far for the season 6,372, lS9 against 6,O70 4S0 last year, an increase of 301, 763.
 Northern mill takngs and Canada dur ing the past seven days show a decrease of 10S6S, as compared with the corre- spending period last year, and their total takings since September 1 have decreased 4s42
 The total taklngs of American mills north and south and Canada thus far for the season have been 3,6S6925 against 5, ,459. .925 last year. These include 1889, 14o by northern spinners against 1,993,9S7.
 Stocks at the seaboard and the 29 lead ing southern interior centers have de- creased during the week 35,9S3 against a dacrease during the corresponding period last season of 54, 29 ana are now S25, 133 smaller than, at this date In 1902.
 Including stocks left over at ports and interior towns from the last crop and the number of bales brought into sight thus far for the new crop, the supply to date Is 10 9,626 against 10,260661 for the same period last year
 It must be remembered that the week. ly monthly and seasons comparisons in Secretary Hester's reports are made up to corresponding dates last year, year be- fore and in 1900. Comparisons to close of corresponding weeks are misleading, as totals to close of this week last year would take in 25S days of the season, year before last 259 days and in 1900 2G0 days against only 257 days this year.
