Pun .V Co.'s weekly review of trade snys: Lust wis'k's sti.-gisit ions in regard to the monetary situation have been entirely sustained by the events of tlie past week. Those who held lurge amounts of Govern ment bonds were induced to sell them freely at prices formerly iaid by the Treasury, which has thus been en. aided to pay out ubout J),(mi,Oimj for bonds. The Secretary's belief that bunds to a large amount could be obtained at the prices of fered has been justified, und he has done what he could under the law to prevent monetary pressure Hut the money disburs ed seems likely to relieve s-ecu'ution rather than commercial needs, at least uiit.l other operations besiih-s the one in lioverniiient bonds have been liquidated. Stocks have advanced just f s r vliurc in a week, and l.joo.noo rhsres have been sold ulreudy ut t he rising prices. As yet the money for bonds has not iictuully gone out of the Treasury and its ca-b holdings lire a little larger than a wis-k ngo, but its ilepo-its in banks lialfa million cs Ru-iuess in all parts of the country continues to improve with the stimulus of large crops. At Cleveland und 1'ittshurg the iron busi ness is expanding, uinl ut I'liiladclpliiu im provement is noted in woo!, groceries, iron und Meet. The situation in the iron industry is sur prisingly eiuotiiaging, for a weekly produc tion, hardly ever surpassed, appears to be met by u wonderful demand, nil hough de liveries: of rails continue below last year. The Tennessee Coal und Iron Coinpuny gives notice of uii mi vui ice of i i cci its in the prices of pig iron and the rise in tlie price of coke ut Pittsburg ensures some udvautage in pig iron there, while bar, plate und structural iron ure in strong demand, und the works better employed than they have before foi several years.

The interior money markets ure so well supplied that the luck of supply for commer cial purposes ut thci'hicf Eastern cities isth more noticeable. R is an encouraging fact, ulso, that the iiiiHirtuut failures of recent weeks have not produced the large crop (, minor disasters by miiiiy apprehended.
