Dun’s Review of Trade. U S e T NEW YORK, Feb. 6—R. G. Dun & Co's Vigorous vitality is conspicuous in industry, despite the handicap of overstrained and la- mentably inadequate facilities for transporta. tlon. Concentrated effcrts to reduce the con- gestion at a few favored points apparently in- weather added a new disturbing factor to an already complicated situation. Every possible mothod is being adopted to tmprove conditions, enormous sums are appropriated for extensions, yet accidents and los: are frequent, ‘Trans-Atlantic vessels failed to leave on schedule time and many manufacturing plants are closed in part or whoily. Labor disputes are more numerous, althougk not prevalent to any extent in the leading industrics. As the sea- son advances there s notable activity in bullding trades, with the customary accelera- tion of inquiry’for materials. Retall dealings in most staples are fully sustained, especially of seasonable wearing apparel, but distribution at many points has suffered through weather conditions. Wholesale and jobbing trade is steadily improving, although deliveries cannot be guaranteed. Forelgn commerce is keeping pace with domestic trade. Railway earnings during January were 8.8 per cent larger than last year, and 17.7 per cent In excess of 1901. It “would have occasioned no surprise had the cost of living materially advanced during the midwinter months. In addition to tha seasonable Influence of low temperature and consequent restriction of production in some lices, there were numerous factors in evidencs calcilated to aggravate the situation. In the face of inflating elements the consumer was pecullarly fortunate, as shown by Dun's in- cex number of prices proportioned to consump- tion, which was $100,620 on February 1, against $100,355 a month previous, an advance of only one-half of 1 per cent. Conditions in the {ron and steel industry are without essential alteration. A e con- sumption of raw material by the mills holds wool _steady at the recent advance, despite lamwllml ‘weaker closing at the London auc- tion sale. | July in heavy demand. This is being made in. spite of some drawbacks but these very are evidence merely of super- abundant prosperity. For instance, the no- tice given earlier in the week by the Western rallroads that they would be forced to refuse numerous of heavy freight, such grain, flour, iron, iron ore and lumber and that in fact they could only take perishable and quick-moving merchandise, s evidence that the railroad facilities, as frequently noted be- fore, have not expanded so quickly or in as fx:'aal proportion as has volume of business of- ered. In the fron and steel trade the fuel situation 1s really but little better. owing to the con- gestion In car transportation between the coal reglons and consuming points. The late spell of mild weather has certainly brought about an Improvement in the coal situation. Cool weather was responsible for lower prices for butter and eggs in January and some hog products also declined, but cereals remalned steady and textiles nearly all advanced, as dia several kinds of iron and steel, copper, tin and naval stores, offsetting the lower movement in quotations of country produce, coal and coke, petroleum, hides and some grades of leather. Owing to the steadiness of the large majority of prices the net move- ment of prices as a whole was only very slightly downward, less than 1 per cent de- cline being noted for the month of January. Chief among the staples showing strength is raw cotton, 3 While buyers of iron and steel evince a tendency to stand off, as regards distant de- liveries, pressing needs for immediate pur- poses induce numerous small sales, Which make up a considerable aggregate of crude material. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending February b, aggregate ; against 4,420,005 bushels last week, 4,200, in this week a vear ago and 4,997.816 bushels in 1901. Wheat exports since July 1 aggre- gate 152,565,538 bushels, against 170,146,643 bushels last season. Business failures for the week ending Feb- ruary 5 number 208, against 230 last week, 237 in fhis week in 1902, 250 in 1901, 251 in 1900 and 195 in 1599, In Canada for the week 27, as agalnst 30 last week. # - =3 New York Grain and Produce| * 6.—FLOUR—Receipts, barrels.

CH®CAGO, Feb. 5.—The unexpected strength to cables caused a strong opening in wheat, and under free covering May sold to T9lc, opening 13@3%c¢ higher, at 79@7915¢c. The sm Argentine shipments for the week—I. bushels, where a total of 1,600,000 had been expected—created some anxiety among shorts and was partly responsible for the early buy- | ing from that source. Local longs took advan- tage of the bulge to dispose of considerable tuff, and_in consequence a reaction followed. Reports of buying at the seaboard for ship: ment to France was a help late in the session, and the market responded readily, May again selling up to 79! The close was steady to firm, with May %c higher at 193ac. | Corn acted in sympathy with the advance in wheat, but when the price of May had reached 45 cents thers was considerable sell- | ing by commission houses, which prevented a | further advances The close was steady, with May a shade higher at 44%c | Oats ruled strong, but the volume of trade | was rather small, the offerings being light.
