Condition of Eusiness According to Dun & Company, rs
SOME IMPROVEIJiSNT IS SHOWN.
lli-tail Trade lias iiiproved 011 tin Whole Since March, as the Approach of Kustcr livings SIft re ISusiness, but Distribution to individual Consumers Still Lays
I li lid. NEW YORK. April 13.—R. G. DUTI & Company's weekly review of trade says: Progress toward better business continues, but it is slow, and meets many I obstacles. In speculative aspects and in wholesale demand for goods the week shows improvement. Money markets are undisturbed, and a little more active.
Bur. among the chief obstacles is the
anxiety of operatives to secure better wages, even while many manufacturing works are running without profit and others at the risk of loss. In a number of establishments better wages have been conceded, thus increasing the purchasing power of the people, but strikes I have largely overbalanced settlements, several of importance having thrown about 12,000 workers out of employ I ment this week.
Retail trade has improved on the whole since March as the approach of Easter brings more business, but distribution to individual consumers still lags behind purchases of jobbers, and such demand for products as springs from building aud other investments looking into the future.
Crop prospects will greatly affect the course of trade for some months, and the government report had little intiuence to discourage. For consumers tho worst feature is the rapid advance in meats. For the first- rime in a long period prices of commodities average a
shade higher than a year ago and in Great Britain also, owing to different causes, a slight advance occurred in March.
On both sides of the ocean the lowest I level ever known may naturally be followed by some rise. Cotton is, on both sides, more buoyant than anything else, except meats and petroleum here, crude oil having risen to §1.80, the highest price for over 17 years. Nothing supports the advance of. an eighth in cotton the pasc week, except the impression that the next crop will be short, for receipts are large and about 150,000 bales more than the largest crop ever grown, have already come into sight this year.
Wheat has yielded nearly a cent, although Atlantic exports for two weeks have been 3,70li,04o bushels, flour included, against 3,599,680 last year, with western receipts only 2,088,467, against 4,223,434 last year. Receipts of corn are about half and exports about onefifth of last year's.
Decrease in receipts of cattle are exaggerated, 059,406 having arrived at Chicago, against 789,543 to date last year, and the prevalent opinion is that western packers are helping nature to some extent.
The output of pig iron April 1 was 158,182 tons weekly, practically the same as March I, with a decrease of 1 080 tons in unsold stocks during the month.. Doubtless heavy stocks were token up by manufacturers in anticipation of a strike in coke works, but the apparent consumption is larger than at any other time for some months and only a sixth less than in March, 1892. Bessemer iron has advanced a little further to $10.75 at Pittsburg, but there is no ch uige whatever in prices of finished products during the week, and while the demand continues good for structural forms and a little better for bar, the marked decrease in demand for wire, owing to the scant purchasers of farmers for fencing affects the outlook. It seems probable that pig iron must recede unless a larger demand for finished products is soon developed.
Sales of wool are particularly interesting, amounting for the week to 6,030,200 pounds, and for five weeks previous to 25,(521,200, against 25,277,676 in the same week of 1892. In brief, sales are close to the quantity required for a full consumption, and the long delay in placing orders and the lateness of the season make the proportion of mills at work larger than usual. No improvement in prices appears, and domestic wool does not respond to recent, advances in foreign markets. The low price encourages manufacturers to compete much more vigorously with the foreign goods of many kinds than they had expected, and for the medium and cheap ir grades of goods they have more than the usual demand, because purchases for consumers have for two years been conipaiatively small.
The bertiv goods fare not so well, foreign competition being more effective, but there is a good demand for dress goods. In cottons continued stre iigth appears, with further occasional advances of a quarter and an eighth in print cloths, and the aggregate is fare. Many agents are sold well ahead.
Failures i'or the week were 207 in the United States, against 218 last year, and 27 in Canada, against 34 last year.
IRWIN'S DISCRETIONARY POOL. No Record ol Transactions in the Chicago Hoard of Trade.
Pm ski kApril i:.—John D. Bailey, receiver lor George M. Irwin's discretionary pool, yesterday sprung a sensation by announcing that the books which Mr. Irwin turned over to him contain no record of the transactions in the Chicago-beard of trade, in which the funds of the pool are alleged to have been lost.
Receiver Bailey believes there is another set of books and lias served notice on Irwin to produce the other books inside of 16 hours. Mr. Irwin will appeal the case. The books now in the hands of the receiver show that in four "Jonths Irwin deposited ill the Lincoln National bank over $1,000,000. The books also show that the total amount of money put into this pool by depositors was $2,700,000.

FADED FLOWERS.
IJis-
The First. California Shipment Proves as troiis.
CHICAGO, April 13.—The shipment of a carload of California flowers to the Chicago market for the eastern trade proved an unprofitable experiment. Three-fourths of the carload arrived in Chicago in a worthless condition. Que of 25,000 calla lilies less than 4,000 of them were found lit for the market. In the shipment there were several thousand date and fail palms in good condition, which would have been in demand had they arrived before Palm Sunday, but now they will bring but little money.
The only flowers in the consignment that will tiring a g.» hl price were 50,000 yellow marguerites, which will readily sell at «3 a iiandred. Flint Kennicott, of Kennicor. Bros hers Company, to
whom the consignment, was made, said: "After weeding oat the worthless stock, we find that more than three-fourths of if is unlit for the market, and that -he remainder, after tin commissions are paid, will not bring the amount the Mil of lading calls for for freight, about *400."

MAIVlFEb TO THE MINERS.?
Settlement of the Mining Scale by Dis--i tricts Recommended.
COLUMBUS, O., April 13.—A manifesto has been issued by President Penna of the' United Mine Workers advising the settlement of the mining scale for the coiniug year by districts. The present scale expires May 1. and the Pittsburg operatons have refused to meet the Ohio, Indiana and Illinois operators in joint conference. President Penna says: "It may still appear to some people that the operators and miners of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois could have held a convention aud agreed on a schedule ot prices without those of the Pittsburg district, but it seems to me that the experience of the last two years should dispel this idea, Early in last year tin Ohio miners accepted a reduction of 2C cents per ton—forced to do so—because mining rates had been reduced in the Pittsburg district. "Again, last December, when the Pittsburg operators, who had signed the scale in June in accordance with contract provision, were relieved from its obligations and reduced the mining rates, a large portion of Ohio miners were again made to suffer, not in the form of a reduction in the price of mining this time, but by offered idleness, and to such an extent that relief was asked from the charitable people ol Ohio by the governor of the state. This, it seems,- is enough to convince anyone of the ability of tho Pittsburg district to control the mining situation in Ohio."
President Penna recommends conservative action. He does not favor strikes.
