Clothing, oes, hardware and hardwood lumber are ac- e and the volume of shipments of spring goods to flll orders offers still another prob- lem for the congested transportation com- panies to solve. A spell of mild weather has induced the beginning of the usual clearance sales of surplus winter goods by retailers. It has also tended to soften the acuteness of (he anthracite coal shortage at the East and cause a lowering in prices. This, however, is re- garded as temporary only, another seasonable cold snap containing great possibilities in the way of enhanced prices. The snow covering winter wheat is not uniform and is, on the whole, rather scant, but no unusual deteriora. tion is reported, Among manufactured products the strength of iron and steel is notable, Mild weather weakens the price of country produce, such as butter and eggx. Sugar is unsettled by un- certainties as (o reciprocity arrangements with Juba. Textiles, particularly cotton and woolen goods, occupy a strong position, Business failures for the week ending with January 22 number 253, against €34 last week. 262 in the like week in 1902, 281 in 1901, 255 in 1900 and 246 in 1899, Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending January 22, aggregate 3,538,757 bushels, against 4,576,624 last week, 3,369,679 In this week a yedr ago and 4,838,678 in 1901. Wheat exports ~ since July 1 aggregate 144,179,577 bushels, against 161,643,000 last seas 112,049,649 in 1900. 4 o L) Dun’s Review of Trade. e s VR O i e NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: Heavy transactions in merchandise are re- ported, but there is much complaint regard- ing the slow movement of freight. The situa- tion as to general lines is aggravated by the precedence given to fuel over all other freight except livestock and perishable goods. Not- withstanding the extensive increase in the progress facilities during the past year, some roads have been compelled to decline shipments and in many cases where a large number of cars were desired, only one was provided. Earnings thus far avajlable for January sur- pass last vear's by b per cent. It is conspicu- ous in practically every section of the country that, despite high prices, buying is libetal and of the better qualities of goods, while dealings as a rule are on a better basls. Demand for materials for buildings is unusually brisk for this season. Although fortunate sections are receiving a better supply of fuel, the situation is still serious, and many pig iron furnaces have been added 1o the idle list. New England producers of boots and shoes are actively engaged in seasonable lines and there is enough business on hand to keep most plants in operation for two months at least. Trade in leather is better, domestic shoe manu- facturers operating on' more liberal scals, while export sales of sole are increasing. Firmness has characterized the course of leading staples, an abundant demand being in evidence, while avallable supplies are restrict- €d by traic conditions. Fpilures for the week number 265 in the United States, as against 301 last year, and 27 in Canada, compared with 28 a year ago.

There was a good demand ear- ly and a large volume of business was trans- acted at the higher figures, but on rumors that the big holder was unloading there was a gens eral scramble to get rid of long stuff and as a result the price dropped to 80%c. At the low price a better demand developed and a reaction set in, the price rallying to 81%c. The market Wwas very nervous the latter part of the session. The close was easier, with May %c lower at Siie, Corn was traded in moderately and the un- dertone was easier. May closed %@%c lower at 445c. There was only a light trade in oats and th; market was dull and featureless. The clos was easy, May },@%c lower at 3614@3614c. Provisions were strong early on lighter re- ceipts of hogs and firm prices at the yards, but later on commission-house selling of May lard and ribs there was a reaction, and most of the early galn was lost. The close was about steady, with May pork unchanged, lard lower and ribs 2% @5c lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: | Articles— Open. High, Low.
