Distribution Maintained Vagaries of Weather Affected Business in Some Localities. R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Versatile weather has produced erratic fluctuations In prices and affected business very dif ferently, according to locality. The extremes were blizzards and oppres sive heat, with every Intermediate va riety. As the future prosperity of the railways Is more or less dependent upon the crops, tho vagaries of the weather were quickly reflected In the markets for securities as well as In option sales of grain and cotton. Re tail distribution of merchandise has, maintained a good average, losses ati some points being offset by gains ejffe where. Manufacturing plants " are woll employed where wage disputes Interrupt. Coffee and silver touched low records prices, but the average of commodities advanced. Transport ing Interests maintain their wonderful record, railway earnings thus far re ported for April exceeding last year's by G.2 per cent., and those ot 1900 by 15.3 per cent. Most large consumers of pig Iron have provided for their needs well up to the end ot the year. A severe setback in London In tin speculation caused a decline, but other minor metals are without special ... feature. Increased output and quick er deliveries ot coke facilitate work at Iron furnaces and reduce the price, while the lower list for anthracite coal has stimulated orders. Lumber and building materials are having the usual spring activity. Footwear shops at the east have few new or ders and shipments from Boston con tinue to decrease. Jobbers have suf ficient stocks to supply the retail de mand and are Inclined to delay plac ing contracts. Jobbers hare re ceived requests for more prompt de livery, retail trade having expanded with the warmer weather. Quota tions of cotton goods are firmly held, the strength ot the raw material giv ing support. Independent woolen mills are working night and day. While the prospects for a full yield of wheat are less bright than they were a week ago, the snarp rise in price must be attributed In part to skillful manipulation by interests rec ently prominent In the stock market. Lack of moisture bas checked growth In the southwest and snow has re tarded farm work In some spring wheat States, but It Is probable that there la the customary exaggeration , of damage reports for speculative pur poses. A year ago there was a sharp advance In price on gloomy reports. The yield promises to be a record breaker. Exports from all parts of the United States, including flour, were 4,401,614 bushels, against 3.333, 937 bushels last year, shipments be ing mainly ot wheat purchased before the advance. Exporters made few -new contracts at the higher prices. Corn was attracted to market by tho better terms offered, receipts for the week reaching 1,394,497 bushels, against 1.138,393 bushels a year ago, but Atlantic exports fell oft to 340.237 bushels, against 1.275.156 In 1901. Meats were wU sustained. A t 1 I L
