Production is now beyond all previous records and the movement of coke is ample, although the early opening of lake navigation may withdraw some of the trans- porting facilitics which cannot well be spared. Buying has been notably active in bars for im- plement makers, and producers have sold their entire cutputs so far ahead that new business is not sought. Many plans for £tructural work have been abandoned owing to the ineufficlent supply of available material. On the other hand, there are reports of resell- ing contracts for Teils and other suyvlies by consumers who have secured larger deliverie: than will be needed. The appearance of ithis spculative element would be ominous if quota- tlons were more excersively inflated. Aside irom the advance in bar iron at Pittsburg tu $18 and foundry iron at Chicago to $18 50, there are no special price’ changes, S: furnaces having decided to postpone the co templated advance, A severe reaction occurred in cotton, due entirely to the excessive speculative rurchases which made the market topheavy. A slight recovery in coffee from the battom price must be attrfbuted to aggressive option buying, as | the statistical position is not improved, Brazil | receipts exceeding last year's high record to date by over a third. A temporary reduction in refined sugar was quickly restored, as th: market for raw grades became very strong. Meats again advanced grain, a helpful influence being the largest sin gle order ever placed for the British arm: F ] m g g =3 3 3 85 2R ¥ STATIONS. % s g H H | 3 R 2 g : iedh | = | WEATHER CONDITIONS AND GENERAL | i FORECAST- The pressure has fallen slowly along the coast of California and Oregon.

MRS " ¢ i X MR A Bradstreet’s on Trade. * 28 —Bradstreet's to- 1 1 NEW YORK, March morrow will say: Trade activities have shifted from first to second hands this week. Wholesale and job- bing distribution of dry goods, clothing, hats &nd caps, millinery and shoes has been rather in view of the quieter, as was only natural, cuimination of the spring demand before | Easter. Retail distribution, favored by spring | weather, has been very active Bast and West, with a fair business at the South. Among the industries new demand for iron and steel has on the whole been lees active, duction and_ shipment have gone for- ward st undiminished speed. The building trades have taken & decided spurt in activity. Lumber is active at all markets at higher prices than ruled a_yeer ago. -The edge has rather been taken off cotton and cotton goods prices by the reaction in the raw material and the 1elk of further labor unsettlement, but values as a whole are steady. Aggressive strength in prices is chiefly mani- fested by hos , which, it is declared, Lave been manipulated by packers. A more reasonable explanation, however, is that the high prices jor beef and mutton have largely Civerted consumption tc hog products. Milder Weather has relieved the strain on the coal | trade somewhat. but strike talk has prevented weakness in prices. = Rather less activity in fron and steel is noted, but no loss of price firmness is observ- abie. The peculiar situation of. the foundry pigiron market is shown by the fact that prices | of that grade arc $1 higher per ton than Bes- | Finished iron ard steel has been active, | semer. Smplement and wagon menufacturers buying heavily of steel ba: which are nominally $2 per ton higher. Despite the fact that tin piate nolis are booked for five months ahead, th- Jeadirg interest continues to take orders at $4 per box. Testimony to the activity in hard- ware is well nigh unanimous. Chicago reports | demand active beyond all precedent. Jobbers in cutiery and hardware at New York report inability to secure supplies fast enough. Wool 3¢ quict. Milis_are busy on previous orders. Men's wear clothing is dull. Boots and shoes are Guil and new business is smaller. Leather is quiet and hides are dull and easy. . The leading cereals are irregulariy lower fter an_apparently futile effort at bulling ces. Last week's decline brought in con- able export business in wheat and some cas reported even in corn. Steady y e squeeze in corn were re- ‘4 sympathetically in wheat. ~The talk corner in July was aided by the small upplies of econtract . but the tendency » take profits in antieipation of the holidays weakened prices, which generally closed lower then & week ago. Wheat crop advices have on the whole been very good, though isolated re- ports of damage in Kansas and Oklahoma have been recefved. These, however, do mot agres with Bradstreet's report of liberal rains in the Southwest and the improved feeling in business circies generally in that section. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week £gregate 2,904,110 bushels, against 4,326,303 * week and 4,404,630 in this week last year. at exports July 1, 1901, to date (thirty-nine ) aggregate 194.399,041 bushels, against of orices. Canada, against 29 last year.
