DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, Feb. S.-Little change
appears in the commercial situation,
but progress is in the right direction
insofar as any difference can be dis
cerned. Recent gains are maintained
in almost every instance. and in a
few the furtherance of raging symp-
toms appear. notably the smaller de-
ereases in railway earnings and the
larger forces at work in the leading
industries. Wholesale and jobbing
houses prepare for the future most
conservatively. Mercantile collec-
tions are irregular. On the whole the
iron and steel industry is in a better
position than a week ago. although
new contracts are placed with much
caution, and each order is the object
of extensive negotiations.
Aside from the moderate demand
for prompt shipment of novelties OF
special constructions the primary
market for cotton goods is dull, staple
lines being almost wholly neglected
All lines of woolens have been opened
without, arousing much interest or
giving any definite impression regard
ing the trend of the market.

Elementary orders by mail from
