BUSINESS. Trade Interrupted by Floods, But It is : Nevertheless Satisfactory. R.G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: The great floods seriously interrupt ;rade. Money is everywhere i in large supply and light demand. Collections are only un- satisfactory where bad weather delays dis- ribution and settlements. At Boston trade is more active, particularly in boots and shoes and rubber goods. Philadelphia notes fair trade in dry goods, excellent except with the South, more activity. in wool es- pecially in worsted gr ades and- larger trade ~m iron, though at low prices. More encour- tgement is seen in glass. Tron is weaker in Pittsburg, but thereis a fair demand for finished products; especially - for hardware, ind improving trade in glass. Trade is fair- ly good in Cleveland;and equal to last year's at Detroit: At Cincinnati pork packing is heavy, the demand exceeding the supply. Trade at Chicago equals last year's. = Busi- fess at Minneapolis and St. Paulis greatly retarded by bad weather, and at St. Louis much depressed by the floods.
