ChiCdQO.

II nhie11n ed by r. G. Dun & Co.
the mercantile agency,
says of Chicago trade:
Traffic suffered from the protracted
severe weather, the movement of com
modities being subjected to further de-
lays at various western points. Trans
portation difficulties are reflected in the
increased loss of operation and smaller
earnings of railroads, but the offerings
of heavy freight are well maintained,
and the outlook has improved for larg-
er passenger carrying.
The same adverse cause also inter-
rupted distributive activity, and retail
trade slightly receded in leading lines.
Receipts of farm products and live
stock are seen to be lower, and -four
forwarding also declined, but grain and
provision shipments made little gain.
Values of the leading foodstuffs and
live stock were tirmer, and the packing
houses worked close TO capacity, the
demand being stronger for their pro-
duct. Receipts of hides were 3,375,052
pounds, against 2,636,J00 pounds year
ago.
Grain shipments, 2.434,029 bushels,
are "a per cent over those of the cor
responding week last year. The re-
ceipts aggregated 3,454,901 bushels,
against 4,193.49J bushels. Board of
Trade transactions reached a fair vol
ume, and prices advanced over the
closing a week ago, corn and oats be-
ing strongest. Provisions were in good
demand, export sales showing larger,
and prices closed with n small gain.
Live stock receipts We're 321 ,377 head,
against POI 1884 head a year ago. All
the choice grades We're readily market
ed at better prices, hogs and sheep
closing ID cents a hundred weight high
er and cattle cents.
Bank clearings, $199, 608,530, are 47.6
per cent over those year ago, when
the week included holiday. The large
gain to some extent is due to the pay
ments for City railway stock. The
general demand for money has been
steady, and the discount rate for choice
commercial paper was quoted at to
Az per cent. Deposits have reached
their highest record. Bankers are pre-
pairing for n more active use of funds
with the opening of agricultural work
in the near future, and manufacturers
are reported likely TO become larger
borrowers.

trict number "a. against 80 last week
