Dun's Review,

New York April 19.-R. G. Dunn & Co.'S weekly review tomorrow will say: Spring trade develops slowly because of unreasonable weather, but the lost ground will be recovered in large measure when normal temperature prevails Cold weath
 CT has prevailed over an unusually large area, retarding agricultural progress
 well as trade in lightweight wearing ap- parel and other spring goods, but similar bad starts in other years have sometimes brought most favorable results. The only actual damage of any account is reported In some winter wheat fields of the south
 west where insects and drouth combined to injure grain and in most of this area some other crop has been planted Whole sale business for later seasons is on a liberal scale. building operations are ac-
 tive and leading manufacturing plants are busy
 Few labor struggles retard work in the industries Little complaint is heard re- garding freight blockades.
 Quiet conditions in the pig iron mar ket were to be expected after the large sales of last week. and production has
 been sold so far ahead that quotations are fully maintained. Leading furnace inter- ects have sold their output up to the end of the year, but some smaller producers still accept orders for delivtry during the second half
 In the steel department there is an in-
 creasng scarcity of billets that handi- caps consumers The wire trade is es-
 pecially disturbed because demand has
 been so urgent that stocks could not be
 accumulated for spring business Pro
 gress in building operations has brought
 out requirements for structural shapes
 that cannot be satisfacto toritly met Thus
 far only a small part of the seasons bus
 mess in bars has been placed by makers
 of agricultural implements, leaving much for future arrangement. No change has
 appeared in the primary markets for tex tile fabrics. prices ruling firm and mills
 are well occupied. Re-sales of cotton are recorded, but without adverse effect buy ars being ready to take all offerings at second hands, While the coarse yarns
 section is the least active. there is no | accommodation of goods, and there Is l less indication of speculation. Few actual | alterations have occurred in prices of l cotton goods. but the tendency is still | upward, premiums being frequently paid
 in order to secure satisfactory delivery. l A surprising feature Is the curtament of production which Is unavoidable be-
 cause of the scarcity of labor. Export
 demand is still slow.
 Improvement is noted in woolens re-
 specting duplicate orders for mems wear

 Although there is a better demand for hides on the whole. several grades have

COTTON PRINTS MARKED UP

New York, April 19.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Continued cold weather throughout the country delays crop preparation and de- velopment iniures fruits, vegetables and cotton, and dulls retail trade. Coincl-
 dentaly orders from and collections by
 jobbers and wholesalers are affected, but
 the latter branches of trade feel this
 relatively less than in other years, be-
 cause they are still very generally pushed , 10 complete deliveries on earlier ordrs.
 In eottons the features are the ten
 dency to mark up quotations of prints,
 ginghams and sheetings, though drills
 are accommodating and concessions can be
 obtained Water navigation has been
 prevented from opening up as early as in some other years, but it is noted that
 the railway traffic situation is better,
 cars are becoming more plentiful and l the congestion ruling during the past half 1 year is less acute. though still affecting deliveries of lumber, coal, cotton and
 other products Excluding New York, building is still very active, and build 1 ing materials and hardware are in de- mand Labor is well employed strikes are few and wage advances are numer ous, but it is iron work that is reported | slowing down.
 | Pig iron markets show a firmer un- | dertone following the heavy purchases of steel making irons last week. More in- terest in foundry iron for the last half delivery is noticeable, but the volume l of business is only fair. Spot iron, when l it is available, commands high prices, l and the import movement of foreign iron l is expected to continue for some time to come. Some of the over-sea iron coming
 here is being offered at prices below those ] recently qouted abroad, and of course 1 the quotations are considerably under do-
 nestle prices. Demand and specifications for most finished lines are remarkably active. Steel billets are very scarce in the north and west. Orders for struc- tural steel are fair and heavy contracts are pending. Orders for wire and wire goods are four times in excess of those at this time last year. Ban iron prices are irregular. Scrap is weaker at the west but frmer in the east. Coke is ! lower, demand being less active. The
 copper market displays a number of
 s-currents with some quotations showing an easier situation, but the larger domestic interests still hold prices firm.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending April IS number 167 against 19i last week, and 167 in the like week of 1906.
 Canadian failures for the week number IS as against 2S last week and 22 in this week a year ago.

NO MOVE FOR THAW'S
 RELEASE ON BAIL
RESIGNED TO FATE BY SPENDING ANOTHER SUMMER IN TONES. MOTHERS VISIT TO PITTsBURG NOT SIGNIFICANT.

New York, April 19.-No movement tc attempt to secure the release of Harry K. Thaw on bail has been made and none is likely for some time. Dan O'Reilly and Clifford W. Hartridge, the two law yers still in his employ, said yesterday that no immediate steps would be taken regarding bail.
 That Thaw and the members of his family are resigned to the fact that Thaw must spend another summer in the Tombs is apparently indicated by the de- parture from the city of nearly every member of the family. Mrs. William Thaw and the Countess of Yarmouth are now in Pittsburg, and MT. and Mrs. Ed ward Thaw have sailed for Europe.
 Of all the devoted family that gathered about the slayer of Stanford White dur ing his fight for reedom, only his wife remains at the Hotel Lorrain. She visits the prisoner daily and declares she will continue to do so as long as he is in jail.

Like California's Shock.

New York, April 19.-Prof c. P. BerlSey Of the department of geology at Columbia. says that the earthquake con ditions prevailing in Mexico are exactly similar to those which prevailed in San Francisco a year ago. Mexico is com paratively a new region according to Pro- lessor Berlley, where the process of noun tain formation is still going on. causing earthquakes. Professor Berkey continues q cannot connect the present disturb ances with any particular volcanic erup- ton, although there are in Mexico now four active volcanoes. There is not, how ever. any necessary connection between those volcanoes and the quake.
