Daa A Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade: Tbe improvement in basinees eon* tinoes. It is greater than beiore at tbe West, considersble at tbe Heuth, and ie clearly perceived even at tbe East. Yet discourageaeut in some branches of industry is not less but more apparent than before, evidently because calculations have been made upon a more rapid and great inerease is business than has been realized. Premature expansion in sums forms ol produeuco and of trads has invited the usual corrective, and a disposition exists which is eo general that it might easily be piisintsr- " "iS?anthracite eoal market is more eheer* fnl. Copper is depressed by heavy sales at like for lake. Tin has gone below 20c anoiead has soid down to 4.2c. Wool is somewhat easier. Tbe dress-goods msrket is active and works well employed, though at narrow margins of profit Cotton mills have increasing business in fancies, but trade in staples to falling off and buyers nrgs that lowsr prices are justified by tbe detlioe in raw cotton. Yet the Houthern demand Is bettor and tbe trade on tbe whole fairly good. Reports from other cities are decidedly wore eiicouranging than usual, though at the East improvement is not rapid. Boston reports fair trade wirh improvement in many lines. At Hartford dry goods show decided improvement. At Philadelphia fiannei blankets and woolen goods ars in bettor demand from tbs West. Improvement Is seen in groceries. At Cleveland trade in dry goods, groceries and hardware is good, and fair in shuca and clothing. At Cincinnati aoroe improvement is seen in merchandise, and the whisky trads i* fair. At Chicago soms gain is seen in receipts of oats, a seventh in cattle, a sixth in flour, a third in hides. • quarter io dressed beef, nod receipts of wheat and rye are three timet last year’s, but cheese, batter and wool falls short a little; corn, barley and eared meato a third, and lard 75 per cent. At 8k Louie seasonable goods art in strong demand and distribution greater than a year ago. At most Southern points a genoral trade improves, but at Charleston money is still tight. Speculation In bread-stuffs ha* advanced prices this week, pertly on account of the reported prohibition of wheat exports from Russia. .Receipts at the West have been & t &44,000 bushels In /our days, agkmst exports of 1,306,000, and yet the price risee 2 cento. Without any excuse, speculative manipnldtiou has hoisted corn 5c, but pork products arc a shad# lower and ootton declined a eixteentb, with continuing heavy receipt*. Oil has fallen %o, hut eoflve ie a shade stronger aad sugar unchanged. No fears are entertained of monetary pressure. Throughout the East aad West and at most Southern points money markets ars well supplied for legitimate business, and rates tend lower, while collections improve to some extent ijniost everywhere, but especially at (he principal Western point*. The business failures occurring throughout the country daring the past •even davs numbered 255, as compared with a total of 24U last week, and for the oorrrspouding weak of last year the figures were 218.
