DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, April 29.-R. G. Dunn & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 Business continues to move in most con- servative channels, purchases being re- stricted to immediate requirements and weather conditions dominating the situa- tion to an unusual extent. At many points there has been little spring trade and the transition from winter to summer will be accomplished with scarcely any inter- mediate season. Considering this adverse factor the consequent volume of business is remarkably satisfactory. Building op- erations are also deferred to late date.
 Much structural work is projected, how ever and at some favored points last years record promises to be surpassed As a rule, manufacturing plants are not working at full capacity, idle machinery being most extensive in textile industries
 Floods and storms have interrupted traffic, yet railway earnings thus far re- ported for April are only 5.5 per cent smaller than last year Iron and steel conditions are still devoid of any definite change. In several departments, how ever, the week has brought slightly in- creased activity notably in merchant steel pipe and structural shapes. The nearest Fundamental lines are approached the less strength is seen.
 Pig iron is also weaker at P,ttsburg and the rapid increase in blast furnace activity has lifted the capacity above the markets requirements. Unless contracts for the third quarter are soon placed on liberal scale, it is probable that the out put will be checked. Wire mills have maintained activity. Contracts for Penn syiVania railroad tunnel castings are be- ing sought at very low prices and this business will soon be placed. while a fair volume of export is also approaching con- summation. Fuel markets send conflict ing reports, anthracite coal being freely sought to take advantage of the spring discounts, but soft coal and coke are abundant and cheap because of ideness at many factories.
 Conditions are less satisfactory in the dry goods trade than at any previous tune this season. Distribution at retail is restricted by the weather, and there are no compensating factors In mems wear woolens and worsted goods, it is estimated by some that about 70 per cent of the mills are idle
 Activity and strength is reported in the western hide markets. sales of over 100 000 being reported on Thursday, when the big interests resumed purchasing Trad ing in foreign dry hides is only limited by arrivals as demand is good at values.
 Failures this week number POP in the United States, against 202 last year and l6 in Canada compared with 13 a yea- ago.

PIG IRON IS MORE QUIET

New York, April 29.-Bradstreets to- morrow Will say
 pistributive trade continues quiet at most na'.ets and Arn trade the 70 tly over has not equalled a year ago. The absence : ctofore of the usual J. ume of spring demand is pressing to des lers who fear they will be obliged to carry ever surplus stocks. While wealth CT and eiop conditions are backward, at the soutf the exceptionally strong posi- tion of the ,tad'ng interests renders the oItlooS fnr the future very hopeful.
 A favorable de rlopment of the week has becn the hreal.ing of the drouth in the southwest. Backward weather has retarded cotton planting and spring wheat seeding, while crop germination and growth are generally reported slow the country cs CT. During the first four m"nth3 of the year upward of 125,jO9 men have struc;i toi various causes, but while there IS considerable unrest, rather less than the usual May day disturbances are looked fer
 Amrng the i'G"stries, demand for pig iron is rather Gl.eter, the lack of inquiry STOW ss est effect in Bessemer pig Provisions of frt tlght rates in the centt.tl west also eral .es southern iron to be 9"ered at C. rceasions. Nearly all fur naces a'e. h0| yer reported sold up to J"iy l. and the ,..acing of business for the thlrG Giarter is now receiving attention. tlllet products are quleter. but it is sig n'Jcant that demand for the smaller pro- dicts Is irIucing a production of steel net n'uch belcw the high record of a year ago.
 NO general buying by the railroads is rt rtpofted, but numerous small orders for rails for western roads have been worked and some large sales to eastern roads are under consideration. Export trade is en- larglng. Price fluctuations this week have been relatively unimportant though the tendency as a whole has been slightly downward. Cotton has been depressed by poor trade reports and print cloths nave further weakened without how ever, encouraging much new business. Curtailment is still subject of discuss sion in manufacturing branches of the trade.
 Shoe manufacturing appears rather de- pressed. The weather conditions play a leadlhs part In the demand for building materials which are active ar some mar kets and slow of sale at others.
 Wheat including flour, exports for the week ending April 28 are the smallest in fourteen years, aggregating JOG, $50 bush els against 1,6i5,42 last week and 34S- 2S9 this week last year From July I. lD3 to date, they aggregate 121. TOT, l32 bushels against 1S6 693, 4S5 last season.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate l9Ols3 bushels against 626 792 last week, and 2,2l0,l55 year ago. From July 1. 1903. to date they aggregate 4S952,57O bushels against 55,314,960 last season.
 Business failures in the United States Tor the week ending April 2S number 197 against 199 last week and 175 in the like week in 1902. In Canada failures for the week number 24 against II last week and 12 in this week a year ago
