DIJN'S TRADE REVIEW REPORTS Or FURTHER PROGRESS
 ARE SPORADIC. Geographically The Best News Is Re- eeived From The West And
 Soufh--steeI KiEls Re
 sume Operations.

New York. Feb. 2S!--R. c. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Business holds the ground recently depression. but reports of further pro- gress are sporadic. Geographically the best news is received from the West and South. and more idle machin- in any other leading industry. Many manufacturers find orders scarce and there is much complaint of high prices, while in jobbing and wholesale depart ments the large attendance of country merchants is not accompanied by the customary volume of business. Deal- CTS operate conservatively,. providing only for urgent needs, but low stocks supply strong statistical position that
 must eventually produce activity in ali departments. Considering the storms and holidays, February compares fav- orably with the month preceding.
 Contracts for finished steel products continued small in size, but are more numerous and the aggregate tonnage of February than in the previous month which in turn was slightly bet ter than December. Quotations are not materially reduced in order to obtain If concessions are made they do not appear in reports, so that the markets remain nominally unchanged.
 Dry. goods jobbing houses are at-
 
 ducing the appearance of normal sea- sonable activity. but purchases are on- ly for pressing needs. With raw cot ton higher than 1t was a year ago and cotton goods cheaper. the producer is more inclined to curtail output than to cut prices still further. Inquiries con- tinue to come from China, but little export business is accomplished and that is done at private terms. probably below regular quotations. Many buy CTS have left the market for mems wear woolens after placing only twen- ty-five per cent of the normal volume of orders. Demand Is still most active in the better classes of goods.
 New England footwear nanufactur- CTS report a few supplementary orders but the market continues inactive and unsettled on the whole. Wholesalers continue to reduce supplies on hand. but local jobbers anticipate a good business next month in proportion for Easter trade. Heavy sole leather is readily absorbed. but light weights are neglected and accumuiations are ob- tained at concessions.

 Notable among the increases in the value of lands have been those of lands devoted to truck growing and scattered through the South from Maryland to Texas
 In some cases, like the neighborhood of Norfolk, the raising of early vege- tables for the Northern markets has been carried on for half a century: In others it is a much younger industry, as for instance, in Florida.
 In the northern part of that state. there has been rapid advancement on this tline since the disastrous freeze affecting the citrus fruits there in the nineties, and now potatoes, cabbages: caulifiower. lettuce, strawherr.es and celery are ahnually shipped in large quantities from that State to the North ern markets during the periods when local farms and gardens are snow-cov- cred or ice-bound.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York, Feb. 2s.--For an hour to- day the stock market took on an ap- pearance of riviving animation. It of lethargv and scarcely moved for the rest of the day. The grounds ad- vanced for the operations which ad- vanced prices during the first hour had to do with unc0nfirmed rumors for the most part and betrayed the professional origin of most of the activity. Copper mines in Butte, it was said. were to be reopened and an extensive combination was to be effected amongst copper in- terests, which were still working snde- pendently of each other. Inquiry In esc,si gsarters failed to 1erisy stsg Insse in the London markets suffered a re action. The published remarks of the head of the American .Smelting Com reduction in the dividend disbursement on the shares is in contemplation. The influence of the various rurnors In cir- therefore, as the day progressed. The report of large extra disbursement by the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. one of the subsidiaries of the Union Pacific, puzzled the trading ele- ment at the Stock Exchange greatly, owing to the intricacy of the financial relations between the various com panies in that system.
 The operation in itself was regarded as largely one of a change in book ac- counts, but surrnise was busy over a possible ultimate bearing on the pian ,d ings of the Union Pacific, of which official intimations have been given from time to time.
 by the preparations for the March settlements. The weeks known move ments of money foreshadowed a loss fS 4y sns panss " fS 3n soGoqrs eI ury of nearly $6,OO0 ,O00 through with drawais of Government deposits and also by retirement of national notes receipts from the interior. the influx from the interior, nevertheless, shows a declining tendency. The disposition serves at a high point is inferred. and Is confirmed by the controllers abstract of condition of all the national banks as of February A. This shows rise deposits of 2s per cent compared with 2f 80 per cent at the time of the last call on December 3. and with 26 S2 per est G date corresponding to the present report. The reopening of additional steel plants was an item of the days news that had favorable effect. Re- marks made the Interstate Commerce Commission by railroad officials who were pleading for postponenent of the nine-hour law for work of telegraphers, railroad earnings. The circumstances under which they were made had the effect of modifying somewhat their in- fiuence in forming Judgments. Some late sustaining effect on prices was ex- ercised by news that the Fowler cur rency measure had been favorably re- ported to the House at Washington.
 The successive departures on foreign trips of men prominent in financial af- fairs have the effect of intensifying the dul1ness in the stock market. The in the late dullness. were better main tained than first movements have been previously this week.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales par value $2, 100000. United States 3's and the As, registered. advanced 12 per cent and the 4's. coupon. declined 1-4 per cent on call

 Baltimore, Feb S.--(Special. )-Illus- trating the agricultural progress of the South in recent years are some facts Manufacturers' Record about the de- velopment that has taken place in what is known as the wiregrass regin In Southern Georgia.
 Until the last few years this region was a vast stretch of original timber. where large tracts of land could be bought from 50 cents to $2.k0 an acre. traveller might then drive through the forest for miles withou seeing a first class farm. But turpentine men and lumbermen came along and their clearing of the land has been followed by the creation of small. well-tilled farms. the building of good highways. the construction of standard railroads and the rise of many towns ranging in populst tior from 500 to 5000.
 These changes have been marked by the steady increase .n the volume of 4T5 acres. bought three years ago for g. 500 vas sold fin less than twelve months for 5000 and can rot now be 'ougl f for less than sl2 GOO; An, es tqte of 10000 ac~es whieh had bee" bought f7r froa, Ec cents to s5 m acre 7vas cffo~aI ro'ertlS gt ruhlic sale bv the a ln'itI Iistrator and received G hid F se' ea 1cre This was refused bv

WEATHER CoNpITIoNs AND GENERAL

The barometer continues quite low to the northeast of New England, and additional snow has occurred in the northeastern dis tricts. An area of comparatively high ba- rometer, extending from Ohio southward to Florida, is giving generally fair weather in central and southern districts, with somewhat lower temperature over the east ern portion of the country.
 Generally fair weather also prevails over the western half of the country. though temperatures have risen somewhat between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River in advance of an extensive low ba- rometeF area central over Nevada, and which is apparently moving southeastward.
 Conditions now favor increasing cloudi- followed by rain during Saturday
 Temperature and precipitation as report thern states during the twenty-four hours ending at am.
