FIHAJCE
AND TRADE
The Business Situation at Present Is
Without Precedent.
THE OUTLOOK WAS NEYER BETTER
The Mercantile Aceneiti Sty That the
Gain Is Astonlshlnr, and Freltet a
Record Breaker In the Volume
of Business This Tear.
New York. Feb. 21. II. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The
situation Is without precedent. Ittisiness
lias never I teen better on the whole, and
in some great industries the gain is as
tonishing. ISxports surpass last year'',
as much as inijiorts, though the excess
over imports then was heavy. Failures
are smaller than last year, and smaller
than In either of six years past. Pay
ments through Exchanges show a greater
volume of business than ever before at
this season, and nearly one-half larger
thnn in the best of previous years. The
outgo of bread stuffs and cotton contin
ues heavy,. Hut there are some who
fear that such prosperity cannot last.
Popular impressions have to be reck
oned with, because they control events.
Yet at every point of danger except one
the signs are in every respect favorable.
The crush on demand for finished pro
ducts, at a time when nearly all the
works nre crowded by orders covering
production until July 1, or later, causes
many to refuse to contract beyond that
date except nt higher prices, and a rise
under such circumstances may prove the
one thing needful to sober buyers, and
to bring Into the list of producers other
establishments heretofore idle. While
a fairly large capacity of production is
still in reserve the demand now pressing
for cars, vessels, bridges, buildings and
pipes is partly to anticipate a rise in
prices.
Brndstreet's review says: Iron and
steel and cotton goods have shared in
public interests this week because of
urgency In demand and consequent
buoyancy In prices. In the former In
dustry the striking feature has been the
continued call for supplies alike of raw
and of manufactured material, not only
on domestic, but even on foreign account,
nnd it is yet too early to ascertain the
effect of the numerous and heavy nd
vunccs announced during the week upon
the export demand. It is, of course,
to be remembered that Iron and steel arc
in active demand at advancing prices
the world over, and it is encouraging to
find that export buyers of pig Iron are
following up their demands, notwith
standing recent advances in that line.
In cotton goods, as in Iron and steel
and a number of other products, active
export demand seems to have been at
the bottom ot unquestionable Improve
ment which has occurred in the las'
three months. This week has wltuesac
specially marked strength, print cloth
ginghams and gray cottons, all sharii
in the price advances.
Multiple IHiitIir TolcRrapli Tfest.
Philadelphia, Feb. 25. A practical
test of the Itowland multiplex printing
telegraph, the invention of Professor
Itowland, of John Hopkins university,
was mnde yesterday over a Pennsyl
vania railroad wire between here and
Jersey City. The test occupied nearly
two hours and three messages were con
secutively sent to Jersey City over the
wire at tho same time, and were re
ceived siniultnneoiihl.v in the Pennsyl
vania rnilrond terminus In that city. Th?
machine adopted to send eight messages,
four each way. at the same time. This
is accomplished by means of alternating
currents. At this end three operators
manipulated an ordinary typewriter key
board to which the wires were attached
and as they struck each key the char
acter was printed nt the other end. The
average speed maintained was over -10
words a minute.
