THE PrrtSBTTEG DISPATCH. SATURDAY APRIL V 1892,
TWO TRADE THEORIES
Advanced to Explain the Disappoint
ment of Expectations.
A REACTION OF EDKOPEAN ORIGIN
And an Expectancy Which Was Pitched
on a Key All Too High.
WIIAT BRADSTREErS AXu R. G. DUN SAT
1BPECHI. TKIXGKAM TO TnE DISPATCH. J
2ew Yokk, April S. Special telegrams
io Bradstreet'a do not indicate any material
improvement in the condition of general
trade, taking the country as a whole. On
Ihe Pacific coast and at the South dullness
is conspicuous in almost all lines. The
only exceptions are in slicht advances lor
canned fruit and grain bacs at San Fran
cisco and rather more strength in raw cot
ton, improvement in collections at Savan
nah and a moderate increase in distribution
of staples since the first of the month from
Jfew Orleans.
At the West, Chicago, Duluth and St.
Joseph send the most glowing reports, the
last named claiming sales of drygoods,
shoes and hardware were never better, not
withstanding very inclement weather with
in the week. Duluth has extended the
field of its wholesale trade, and a newly or
ganized Stock Exchange there is stimulat
ing interest in new iron properties.
In tlin Ontral and Farther AVeit.
St Louis also reports a satisfactory vol
ume of trade, with noteworthy gains in sales
at the extreme Northwest of boots and shoes
and hardware. At Cincinnati general trade,
on the whole, is disappointing, aud at Kan
sas City the weather ha' checked the move
ment. In the East the situation, except for
wheat, is not improved. Leather and hides
are only fairly active in 2ew England.
"Worsted spinners at Philadelphia are not
active. Sales ol print cloths at Providence
about equal the output, and some makes of
linen and bleached cottons are scarce and
wanted. Exports ot cotton eoods are not
equal to expectations. Southern coarse
yarn goods are in heavr supply.
Raw cotton tiflened 1-lGc .temporarily
during the week on better Liverpool ad
lices and small domestic receipts. Raw
wool, as influenced bv London wool sales,
was inclined upward, but as yet has not ad
vanced. New clip California wool is held
aboie Eastern market prices.
Our calculation of the proportion of New
York City's bank clearings, due to "trans
actions in Wall street" for the first quarter
of this and of two precedinc calendar years,
indicates that New York's volume of dis
tributive transactions declined from J6.400,
000,000 in 1890, a vear of activitv in trade,
to 55,300,000,000 in the first quarter of 1891,
and that it was less than $"',100,000,000 for
three months ended March 31 last.
1 wlRtin Cp l'Hrley In California.
Ttarley is being manipulated on the Pacific
coast, and is higher in consequence. Copper
is dull and barely steady. Anthracite coal
is bringine about 10c more per ton on most
grades. Petroleum is weak, and live cattle
and hogs are 10c and 5e lower respectively
per hundred weight at Western markets.
Pig iron is in somewhat better demand,
but prices do not record the fact. Produc
tion has declined only about 7,500 tons
weekly of anthracite and coke irons.
"While the total net deciease of available
Etoeks of m heat, United States and Canada,
during March was 5,Ct58.000 bushels, stocks
in store at prominent European centers and
afloat for Europe increased 3,548,000 bushels
during that month, which explains why the
total of American, European and afloat
stocks of wheat decreased net only 2,000,000
bushels duriiur March, against a decrease of
10,000,000 bushels in February. In 1891,
March brought an increase of about 300,000
bushels, but in 1890 it recorded a decrease
ot 5,000,000 bushels, and in 18S9 a tailing
away of more than 10,000,000 busbels.
Movements of Wheat and Flonr Abroad.
Exports of wheat, and flour as wheat,
from 11 United States ports, both cctsts,
this week equal 2,959,000 bushels, about the
same quantity as the like week one vear
ago, and as contrasted with 2.597,000 bushels
latt week. Exports of Indian corn from
seven United States ports, both coasts, this
weefc equal 2,425,000 bushels. Last week
the total was 2,734,000 bushels, one year
ago the week's total was 474,000 bushels,
and two years ago it was 3,102,000 bushels.
While stock speculation at New Yorfc is
still very narrow and professional, the ten
dencies governing the market have taken a
rather bulh-h direction. European influ
ences are mainly responsible for this. A re
duction in the Bank of England rate to 2
per cent, with the prospect of easy financial
conditions in London, produces a certain
amount of buying from that quarter, suffi
nent to depress exchanges and render gold
exports from this side impossible for the
moment This has feced the local short
interest to cover, and though public buying
ol stocks does not develop, the tone of specu
lation exhibits a more encouraging prospect.
The Genrral Financial Situation.
Silver has declined to 8G;c per ounce on
the decrease of the Indian demand. For
eign exchange is s'?4c on tfte pound
lower on offerings of hills against purchases
of securities in this market.
Total bank clearings at cities reporting
the same throughout the country for the
week endirg April 7, equal 51.241,890,285,
an increase of 18 per cent as compared with
the ucek before, and 17.8 per cent more
than in a like week of 189L
There were 165 business failures in the
United States this week, against 1G4 the
week betore and 178 In the first week of
April, leOl, of which 83 per cent bad
J5.000 capital or less, ami 11 per cent capi
tal between 5,000 and ?20,000.
15. G". Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade
says:
Another week bring additional proof of
actual ltnproenient in business at many
points -n hllo "-lackness at a few Is explained
by causes obvinuily local and temporary.
Tlic tuonev maikets continue abundantly
supplied and easy.
Why Kxprci.itlons Aro Disappointed.
Two tneorics existing regaraing the state of
business And lrequcnt expression. Tnat
trade lias disappointed expectations to some
extent U obvious and there aro some who
claim tbataieaction lias bejun of unknown
duration, which appeared In Europe last
year and was only In part deferred here be
cause of extraordinary ciops. These have
to support them unusually low prices, and
in some acrnrtn-ents a shrinkage in sales.
Others argue that disappointment is due to
execssuo expectations, and especially to
the lallurc to tf.Le into account the jireat
volume tit indebtedness left from real estate
speculation at the West and bouth, and the
influence produced by poor crops and finan
cial depres-ion abroad. These have to sup
port tliem much evidence tliftt the actual
business transacted, all branches consid
ered, is greater than ever bfiore :it this
season, iu spite of the obstacles and com
plaints. The i-eports from other cities are on the
whole favorable. At Boston there is fur
ther improvement. Drygoods jobbers are
active amd mills very til supplied. West
ern rcpiutsaie favorable and Southern bet
ter. At Philadelphia the lailuieof an iron
house, inflowing that of the Lehigh Iron
Compinj. depresses that trade.
At Pittsbur? iron stocks increase and
there is no improvement in products, ship
ments ot roke being the lowest of thoycar
thus fan but the slas trade Is steady and
trade in hardware brighter. At Cincinnati
trade exceeds last j ear's. Building pros
pects are clouded by a threatened strike.
At Cleveland all lines improve except pig
Iron mid ore, and money Is in more demand.
At Detroit trade equals last year's, but
freights arc less firm.
Trade at the West and South.
Chicago reports largely Increased sales of
merchandise, with collections easy In all
hrktiches. Receipts of com and barley are
Increased three-to'd; of wheat, oats and rye,
tw o-fold, compared w itli lasty ear; or dressed
beer, one-half, and of flour, one-third, and
some Increase is seen in hogs, cattle and
wool, with tfecreaso in lard, butter and
cheese, and especially cured meats. At St.
Paul the jobbing trade U brisk, and at Min
neapolis there Is a marked increase, with
unusual prospects for the lumber trade, but
flour is dull imd low.
At St. Louis trade is reasonably strong,
w ith especial Improvement In all building
materials. In spite of bad countrv roads and
a railroad w asliout. Trade at Kansas City
Is quiet, though receipts of grain and cattle
are light because of bad weather. At Omaha
business in drygoods nnd shoes Is very
active and other trade fair.
At Louisville business Is qnlte satisfactory
but dull: at Memphis, slackening: at Savan
nah piospccts are blight, and only fair at
New Orleans, though In cotton there Is some
Improvement and sugar Is strong ana
active.
Seme Favorable Signs ot tbe Times.
Payments through Clearing Houses outsic'.e
Sew York are larjer than ever at this sea
son. Eailrosd earnings show substantial
Increase over last year's. Receipts of bread
stuffs still exceed all past experience, and
receipts of cattle at Western oitlcs are 1,318,.
615 head for the first quarter, a gain of 12 per
cent over last year. Sales of wool at all
principal markets for the year thus far ex
ceed last year's, Indicating a larger manufacture.-
Coal Is dull but firm, sellers "grad
ually petting up to schedule prices."
A better tone with larger sales is seen in
Iron. The output is reduced 7,500 tons weekly,
and improved demand is seen for plate,
stiuctural and sheet iron. Copper is dull,
with indications ttiat the combination has
failed. Some concessions ate seen in coke
and tin plates. Lead is dull, but tin rises a
a little.
Speculation has been stronger, wheat ad
vnncin'j S$i cents; corn, 8 cents, and cotton
1-16, with smaller reoelpts. Oil is 1 cent
higher, but coffee loner.
The following table, compiled by Brad
slrttt'x, gives the Clearing House returns for
the week ending April 7, and the percent
age of increase or decrease as compared with
the corresponding weet last car:
