Dun's Trnde Review.

New York. May FIR. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: e able weather and the industrial look is brighter on the whole, although several adverse factors have appeared. The big dry goods auction sale opened with an unexpectedly large attendance and good prices were secured. It is par ticularly gratifying to note that retail CTS rather than jobbers have made most of the purchases, thus providing channels throughout the country. Man ufacturing lines report a slight im- provement at woolen mills and shoe factories. and while there Is more idle cotton machinery, 1t Is worthy Of note that the last Fall River statement showed very little reduction in divi- dends.
 Railway earnings thus far reported for May fall 3.7 per cent short of the same time last year, but foreign com merce at this port for the last week shows gains of $1,637.2o0 in exports and $S49.545 in imports.
 It Is increasingly difficult to find en- couraging conditions pertaining to the iron and steel industry. Purchases are small and frequently effected at fur ficult to find definitely lower quota tions except for pig iron, which now averages from $5 to $S a ton cheaper than at the corresponding date last year. StTuCluEdi WOFk lS uH0cI negotiation. but thus far the tonnage Is small and conditions unsatisfactory. Considerable export business is un- der consideration. This branch of the industry will need to expand materially if domestic conditions continue quiet or the liberal output of pig iron will produce an undesirable accumulation of stocks. Textile markets have im- proved to some extent during the past week, weather conditions being notably favorable for retail trade. while the orders for woolens and worsteds inc creased more than the most sanguine manufacturers anticipated. | Cotton mills have further curtailed productions, and in a few cases quota tions at first hands are slightly lower.
 Although packer hides are active and firm, tanners discrimln nate in favor or late saltings, which is causing some accumulation of the less desirable qual- tiles. Imported hides are steady at the recent decline, arrivals being promptly absorbed. Leather Is quiet.
 Failures this week numbered 226 in the United States. against POS last year and 17 in Canada, compared with seven year ago.
