Bad Weather a Drawback to Western Trade. Good Reports from Other _ Sazctions. R. G. Dunn & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The continuance of very un- favorable weather throughout a large part of the West begins to cause apprehensions rogarding the crops. In all ether respects the situation appears satisfactory, and at most points the prospects for trade are con- sidered more hopeful, so that a short period of gbod weather would speedily change the temper of business. The money markets are everywhere easy. Bad weather, long-continued heavy rains, impassable roads, and delay in plowing and seeding are named as retarding trade in dis- patches from Cleveland and De nver, and from nearly every intermediate city report~ ing. Yet at Chicggo sales exceed last year's, collections are easy, and the good condi- tions of trade are manifest. 3 8t.
