VOLUME OF BUSINESS
IS STILL INCREASING
rorrlgti Possibilities, Uowcver,IInvo
IMuced u Check on .Speculation.
.No Abatement in Foreign Domnud
lor bent.
New York, Feb. 25. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say
tomonow.
Foielgn possibilities have much af
fected speculation and caused hesita
tion In some latge business operations,
possibly accounting In part for a check
In the nipld advance of wheat, but In
dustrial pioductlon continues larger
than ever, a few more words being
ndded to the active list with a decrease
In the number of hands on stilke, and
renewed evidence that the volume of
business Is laiger than in Febiuaiy of
an previous ear. Nor is there any
sjmptom of a senseless cinzo based on
llslng pi Ices. The legitimate export
and domestic demand presses closer to
the capacity of works, and though
theie Is no llighty advance in any line,
und in all nanowness of piolit Is a
matter of complaint, new business for
this dull season Is unpiccedented.
Wheat continues Its progress upwaid
until 108 75 was reached on Monday,
but declined 3'4c.Jater, as If theiewere
fear that Spain would somehow stop
Biltisli vessels from taking wheat
ncross the water. Any yielding based
on foreign possibilities deserved little
notice, but the price has advanced
about 10c. since Chicago speculators
last took occasion to shake off wheat
followers and the opportunity for a re
action was inviting. There is no abate
ment of foreign demand. Atlantic ex
ports weie 1,003,814 bushels, Hour In
cluded as wheat, for the week, against
1.32C444 last J ear, and Pacific exports
i,5"G,3i6, against 130,404 last year, and
In view of current excitement these
figures nre more important than the
aggregate for four weeks 10,406,012
bushels, against G,5S8,41r last year fiom
Atlantic jioi ts, und 4,0"i3,02S against 1,-
0U,24C from Pacific pons. Coin ex
poits for the week weie 14 5 per cent,
less than last year but the ca.h pi Ice
declined but slightly. The spot price
of cotton was not affected.
It is not the season for much im
ptovemnt in textile manufacture, but
the cotton branch has gained by the
closing of the strike In one Fall River
mill and by addition of some woiks at
the south. The woolen manufacture
meets many cancellations, especially
In goods sold earlv without definite
pi lee, but Is doing more than ever at
this season, though new business in
the higher grades or vvotsteds and
woolens Is not paitlcularly encourag
ing. Sales of wool are slow, with
weakness In clothing, amounting to
about two centd decline from the hlgh
ist rolnt. Indicating that mills hnve
at piescnt abundant stocks, but borne
me selling foreign wool In order to
take supplies or othev qualities.
In lion manufacture has more de
mand for pioducts and slightly better
pi lees for Bessemer pig, which has
advanced to $10 40 at Pittsburg, with
Grey Forge unchanged then, local
coke stiong at Chlcagc in spite of
some southern weakness, and eastern

quotations ait .1 shade lower. No
finished products have changed in
pilce, and all ate strong in demand,
excepting bui, which a combination
has failed to advance. Some large
contrails are lepoited, especially in
tar and bridge building, ship and
stiuctutal work, nnd the demand for
sheets Is heavy. Minor metals change
but little, tin weakening a shade to
lMt with larger receipts.
Failures for the week have been

"A very severe pain camo In my loft
knee, which grew worso and worse, and
finally a soro broko out above the knee.
It discharged a great deal and tho pain
from my thigh down was maddening.
Large, bard, purple spots uppeared on my
leg. I suffered in this way for years,
and gave up all hopo of over being cured.
My wife was reading of a caso liko mlno
cured by Hood's Sarsaparllla, and eho
advised mo to try it. I began taking it
and when I bad ueed a few bottles I
found relief from my suffering. Oh,
how thankful I am for this relief I I am
stronger than I havo ever been in my life.
I am In the best of health, have a good

THE MARKETS.
Mull Street Itoviow.
Npw Yotk, Feb. 23 Then was a re
covery In the- prices of stocks todav,
in which the engagement ot gold for
Import was th'a predominant lnllucnce.
The oeiiMe of the exchange market
yestcid.iy foreshadowed the early Im
pottatlon of gold, which is tho direct
outcome of tho stlnenlng In the rates
for tall money. Tho amount of ster
ling oxchanges held In New Yotk Is
vuilously estimated at from $10,000,000
upwards. A largo part of It has been
usel na colliteral for loans, and tho
laigo liquidation ot loans has released
a quantity of tills exch'ango and
brought It upon tho market. In other
words, the rise in the money tale makes
it moie profitable to bring home funds
which have been left abroad on account
of the higher late hItli3ito prevailing
there. The Import of gold is likely to
continue unless tlicro should bo a sharp
advance In tho monoy market in Lon
don and Paris. The calling In of tills
country's gold credits abroad is likely
to put a stop for the present to foreign
buying of our securities, which has
been largo of late, and which continued
even today. Tho bears made an effort
to retnln control of tho stock market,
but they were unable to wipe out the
gains shown In sympathy with London.
Trading was nervous during the first
hour, but aftci that the unward ten
dency became fairly settled and con
tinued throughout tho day with occa
sional slight reactions. The da's high
est level of prices was not fully main
tained, but net gains generally wero
from 1 to 2 points. Total sales were
4C7.C00 thares.
