DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, Feb. Ar. C. Dun & Co. IS
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say:
Industrial and mercantile conditions, though
Irregular on the whole satisfactory, with
a promising spring outlook. The event Of this
week has been the great weakness in securl-
ties.
The failure record has been greatly expanded
in amounts involved in the last month. but
the record seems worse than II really It be-
cause its big total Of liabilities is due to a
handful Of large defaults, chiefly by broker
age firms.
The record, nevertheless. has necessarily a
depressing effect II is difficult, however, to
discover any material falling off in the volume
Of trade, although it Is undoubtedly true that
there is less Of tremendous push of two or
three months ago
While there has been no return to the re-
markable activity OF a few months ago, cur
rent consumption of iron and steel continues
in heavy volume. and all leading producers
are busily engaged in filling contracts on their
books
Large sellers OF cotton. wooden and worsted
fabrics have named the closest prices for fall
deliveries that have been known in tine dry
goods trade for some years, and they get
ting business in good volume, principally on
wen known staples Of quality.
In the jobblng markets the trade for the
week has been more active, the moderate ad-
vances relative to the rise in raw materials
doing much to stimulate confidence.
Footwear manufacturers are firm to prices
and In most Instances have reserved orders on
their books. so that the present situation in
| boots and shoes Is fairly satisfactory
The weakness prevailing In hides and leather
has a slightly depressing effect on future
business.
Leather continues duh and values are weak.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.--Today's cotton mar
ket was very much a repetition of that of tho
last few days. Prices opened with some i'm
provement, and this level as it developed, was
about the lowest of the day With small
trading and influenced by considerable short
covering, contract prices kept up and closed
steady, with the near months showing a gain
of approximately 20 points, while october and
December gained half that The market for
this staple has been for some little time,

changes. The trade seems to be awaiting some

Continued Heavy Receipts of Eggs,

Fish Scarce

Prolonged discussion Of the proposed new city
ordinance regulating weights and measures
yesterday at the session of the produce eN-
change caused many Of the members to show
up late for lunch. Indications are that the
measure as drawn, to many provisions OF
which produce dealers strenuously object, will
be adopted at the meeting of the city council
next Tuesday. Chief objection Is made to the
clause requiring all products to be weighed.
This will entail heavy expense.
Egg receipts were 377 cases, heaviest for
many months, No change in prices.
Fancy potatoes are wanted despite the fact
that receipts are fairly good.
Celery has advanced to 80. 1903 crate.
