Weekly Trade Revieyy

NEW YORK March 19.-Bradstreet' tomor-
row will say: The introduction of the new tariff
jobbing season toward its close have made for a
rather quieter tone in the trade this week Job
bing trade seems TO have quieted down at a num-
Der of markets east and west.
Price reductions in iron and steel have brought
out some new business, but unsettlement still
rules. Pig iron stocks accumulating and
prices are weak The is largely true OF
other metals. Additional reports of wage reduc-
tions come from iron and steel interests
Business failures in the United States for the

r. G. Dun s, Co.'S weekly review Of trade to-
morrow will say Most OF the tests by which
the activity is measured make favorable records
Reports from the principal cities are of gener-
ally hopeful character hut the fact remains that
there is still lacking that buoyancy and readiness
to make long commitments abroad which are
features Of a trade situation entirely free from
unsettling uncertainties.
Much the important feature of the week
in cotton goods has been the resumption of ex-

heavy consumption Of spot California prunes as
a result Of the very low prices holders are
ready to accept has made decided impression
upon the supply of old fruit. which has for
months exerted a depressing influence upon the

these goods into consumption during the last
few weeks that the end OF the stocks tha {
