WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Weather Conditions Drawback IN Trade
and Crop ituatiOn--Wheat and
tg Corn Exports.


New York. May 2L-Bradstreet'a
commercial report says: Weather con-
ditions are still the apparent draw
back in the trade and crop situation.
Temperatures have been too cool to
allow of free distribution of spring and
summer goods at retail, and they like
wise retard termination and growth OF
crops though permitting good prog
ress in seeding in various sections Of
the country. In jobbing circles the
feeling is that the spring trade Is past
and gone and efforts are now concen-
trated on fall business, reports as to
which are fairly good, though not
equal to a year ago. The industrial
situation is rather quieter, but the
most serious strike Of the year, that OF
masters and pilots of lake vessels, con-
tinues, with no prospect Of settlement.
This has practically killed transporta-
ton on the lakes, and the coal, ore,
lumber and grain trades exhibit the ef-
fects of the almost total stoppage Of
the activities of over 100000 men.
Wheat, including hour. exports for
the week ended May 10 aggregate l.
225,763 bushels, against 734,736 last
week. Corn exports for the week ag-
gregate 1887 bushels, against 120.-
1856 last week.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ended with May
10 number 215, against POI last week.
