this country. The suggestion was favor

Behlin, March 5. Tho semi-official
ilerlincr Post, in a strong article, again
begs the nnglophobia press to discon
tinue the practice of abusing British
statesmen and generals and British en
terprises generally, declaring that "this

Iun's Keview Ho State lit tha Weekly

view of Trails
New YoitK, March 8. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade issued to
day said in part:
Besides the 881 commercial failures
for $9,9ul,048 which was were reported
there were, in February six banking foil-,
nres for W-'0,241, and receivers were ap
pointed for the United Stntes Flour
Milling. connony, with $25,000,000 of
stock and 1.,KX),(KK) of bonds author
ized at its organization hist April, Bnd
for Third Avenue Railroad company,
ofter lieus for several millions had been
placed upon the projierty. Unless sepa
ruttxl from such events, commercial fail
ures could not lie compared with benefit.
The manufacturing failures for $4,
257,(138 were buger than in February of
1H!)0 or. 18U3, but more than half the
amount was. in two classes, four large
lumber and one ivlothing failure 'making
38 per cent of the whole. The trading
failures were larger than in FeVmary of
last year, inly but 20 per cent o ! these
defaults wore made in five failures. ' In
most branches the comparison with pre
vious years is encouraging''and analysis
brings out in strong light -the remtu'k
ably low average of liabilities in the
smaller failures which constitute the
great majority indicating sound busi
ness conditions and unusually satisfac
tory collections.
Except across the ocean, where event!
in South Ajrica caused nearly all busi
ness to bo forgotten, changes in the stock
market ruuk next in financial iutertt to
the rise of cotton. It was a revelation
of the appreciation in which American
railway stO"ks are held to see rhem
strongly supported, with Third Avenue
falling toalxnit 50 and Flour Milling dis
nusscd to the hands of receivers.
The small rise in wheat hist week,
although the price is quite low, sufficed
to call from the farms such receipts,.
4.105,(G1 bushels, against 8,195,437 bush
els hist year, as to indicate that supplies
are not nearly exhausted. Exports from
Atlantic ports continue small, for the
week, flour included, only 1,812,806
bushels, against 4,009,084 bushels hist
year, and in four weeks from both coasts
exports have been ll,b39,20 bushels,
agninst 14,823,873 bushels. Though ex
ports ran behind last year s, which were
almost nuequaled, they have already
exceeded in eight months those of most
full years, and the exports of corn, in
four weeks 12,724,645 bushels, against
12,051,053 bushels last year, explain
much of the difficulty, corn rising
ceut during the week, while wheat de
clined l1 cents.
Tlje iron and steel industry continues
the greatest weekly output ever known,
even while men Keak of it as waiting
for more definite assurances about the
future. Prices of pig yield a little, some
sales of Bessemer having been made at
Pittsburg for $24, and anthracite No. 1
is quoted here at $23.50. Billets have been
sold at $33 at Pittsburg. For most fin
ished products prices are stronger than
a week ago, or as strong, bars and sheets
being strengthened by large business,
while only plates appear weaker, 2.10
being quoted for sizes not the widest.
Coke is scarce and higher in spite of the
largest output, ever known, and the
wages of hands have been raised 12' j
r cent to the highest ever paid.
Failures for tho week were 223 in the
United States, against 18(1 hist year, and
28 in Canada, against 470 hist year.
