TRADE IMPROVEMENT.
i No Raden) Change, But sil the Favorable
i Features Retained.
The following is taken from Brad-
i
| street's dated Satardy, 20th
The volume of oral trade has
maintained the previous week's pro-
{ portions, and at some points shows
| noteworthy increases as compared
| with the total a year ago. The reac-
| tion in petroleum prices appears to
have been overcome, and the tendency
is again upward, based on a drop in
‘stocks from 11,000,000 barrels of Penn-
sylvania oil in January, 1804, to less
an 3,000,000 barrels of merchantable
oil. So marked and rapid has basen the
_appheciation in price of petroleum
that speculation in it has been excited.
Further advances in quotations are
noted also for wheat, on improved de-
mand for export; cotton, on a widened
consumption, present and prospective;
print cloths and other cotton goods,
because of higher raw cotton; Besse-
mer pig iron, on the increasé of cost of
ore, coke and Iabor, and shone and
leather, on the further stiffening of
‘values of hides. The upward turn of
~ prices for dressed beef and live cattle
has been maintained. Coffee is lower,
as ave lard and oats, but Indian corn
and pork remain steady in last week's
closing quotations. Wool is barely
steady, as consumers are awaiting the |
new crop before buying. Relrtively,
“most improvements in trade is in the
region west of Chicago and north of
St. Louis and Kansas City. The rush
of the spring demand for miilinery,
dry goods; clothing, groceries. and
hardware is over, but a fair volume of
conservative trading continnes. Mild
weather and needed rains have greatly
improved the agricultaral and com-
“mercial outlook in the northwess. Gen-
eral trade conditions at the south are
no better, and, in some respects, less
satisfactory. Improvement in demand
is not announced at any point. In
Texas high winds and lack «f rain
have hurt crop prospects, and farmers
in some locality have not planted yet.
Exports of wheat from both coasts

| included as wheat, show a third weekly
