Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Although the short est month of the year was further curtailed by two holidays and handi capped by the most severe storms of the winter, industrial and trade re sults were most satisfactory. The closing week brought a general re sumption or activity in lines that suf fered from the wealhor. and prepara tions for an exceptionally heavy busi ness was reported at many points, Southern cities aloone being back ward. Pig Iron production suffers at a time when a maximum output would not be excessive. This dif ficulty extends all along the Hue. Pressure for structural material is al ready severe and will probably be still more so as the regular building season draws nearer. Further hard ening ot quotations Is reported, and inquiries for delivery In 1903 are not exceptional. More foreign steel has been engaged and domestic concerns are bidding in the German market. Makers of cotton roods are very cau tious about undertaking future deliv eries, owing to the uncertainty as to labor and raw material. Kxport or ders aro still available, but at prices slightly below the views of holders. As a rule, woolen goods are well main tained and In brisk demand, but new lines of heavy weights are not sought. Cereals opened the week with a de cided reaction. As usual, specula tive liquidation carried the decline too far, and there followed the customary recovery. Wheat came Into sight rather more freely than a year ago, and the atlantlc shipment ot flour made a hotter comparison than In recent preceding weeks, but total ex ports of wheat from the United States, flour included, were but 3,185.052 bush els, against 4.321,249 bushels a year ago, Corn showed the customary loss In both movements, receipts amounting to only 2,312,064 bushela against 4,849,783 bushels last year, while Atlantic coast shipments were 184.882 bushels, compared with 3,421, 682 bushels In the same week of 1901. Cotton ruled fairly steady at the rec ent advance, which attracted more liberal marketing at the South, but supplies in first bands aro repprted very low. Wool has been taken less freely by mills, but dealers show no lack ot confidence in the future ot that staple. Failures for the week num bered 215 in the United States, against 179 last year, and 35 In Canada, against 31 last year. 8IT ON A LOT. Future Rata of Interest of New York City.
