MUCH tuna FEELING
The Anticipation of Improved De-
mand For Goods Is General.
RAILWAY STOCKS ARE WEAK
Earnings, However, Have Improved Con-
siderably Since the Big Storm—Cot-
ton’s Slight Gain—The Business
Failures of the Week.
ENEW YORK, March 9.—R. G. Dun 86
00. ’8 Weekly revicwof trade says:
Congressional adjournment and proof
that though the rate of exchange rises to
and even above the shipping point gold
does not go out have produced a. much
better feeling. Prices do not improve, and
there is on the whole no gain, but some
loss in wages, wliilc strikes of 15,000 coal
vminors ncar Pittsburg and several thou-
sand building workers here, besides strikes
in 10 or 12 textile and iron establishments,
further lessen purchasing power for the
time. But anticipation of improved de-
mand for goods is general, and many are
manufacturing an d buying beyond present
needs on the strength of it. Fears of finan-
cial disorders no longer retard, though the
redemption of notes has averaged $221,000
per day for the month, but the fact that
only $302,704 gold has been exported since
Feb. 2 against 826, 523, 936 in January
strengthens the impression that further ox-
ports will somehow bc prevented.
The state of foreign trade is not reassur-
ing, for while exports decreased $500, 000
here, but $4,100, 000 at all points in Janu-
ary, they have decreased about 33, 100,000
here in February, and the season has come
for a further decrease. But imports in-
creased 315, 600,000 at all points in J anu-
ary, about $9,600,000 at New York, but
have increased at New York about $8, 900,~
000 in February. Thc increase for the year
thus far here has been 18.5 per cent, not«
withstanding a. decrca-sc of $2,240,000 in
sugar, dry goods showing an increase of
89 per cent and other imports except sugar
12.5 per cent. As the excess of exports last
year was small in March and every other
month until October, the changes threaten
to create a large balance to be met by
exports of spccic or securities, but foreign
sales of American securities still exceed
purchases for the week perhaps 10,000
shares.
To this in part it is due that railway
stocks, in spite of the better feeling, have
been weak and average 43 cents per share
lower than a week ago, though trusts,
which are very little held abroad, are 90
cents higher. The Baltimore and Ohio
has been especially weak, and coal roads
owing to dcmoralization in that trade and
the beginning of a. war between carriers.
The suit for foreclosure of Reading makes
it a more dangerous rival to roads having
interest to pay.
' Larger Returns Reported.
Earnings have decidedly improved since
the storms, and while 7. 7 per cent less
than last year in the second week of Feb-
ruary were 8.8 per cent larger in the
fourth. All returns for the month are 1.5
per cent larger than last year, as in J anu-
ary, but 15.6 per cent less than in 1893.
Increase is reported in higher class west
bound tonnage, but Chicago east bound
tonnage in four weeks was 228,354 against
222,578 in 1894 and 302,253 in 1893.
Cotton has risen five-sixteenths from
the lowest point on record, though receipts
have been 101,629 bales against 53,452
last year for the week. The rise is due to
the belief that acreage will be reduced
this year. but stocks in sight are so large
as to make a. sustained advance difficult.
Wheat has risen three-cighths of a cent be-
cause of rumored injury to growing grain
in some states. Receipts for the week are
nearly as large as last year, but in Febru-
ary 4,910,447 bushels against 7, 075,909
last year, with Atlantic experts 2,982,670
against 3, 120, 260 last year. Stocks in sight
are enormous, and western accounts make
the stock of wheat in farmers’ hands very
large. Corn has declined a quarter, though
receipts are not half last year’s, With ex-
ports insignificant. Pork, lard and hogs
are a. shade higher, and beef has advanced
to the highest point since July.
Thrcc causes help the iron industry for
the time—expectation of another great
strike} at coke works, reports that bosse-
mcr lake ore will advance and a moderate
increase in demand for products. Sales
of bcsscmcr iron to three great Pittsburg
companies, said to aggregate 125,000 tons,
protect them against the change in ore,
and the output of coke, over 150,000 tons,
and shipments larger than ever, seem to
preparefor a strike. The increase in de-
mand is, on the whole, small, much of it
due to new buildings throughout the coun-
try and some to better orders for sheets
and wire nails. while wire rods and plates
are in fair demand, but prices have not
advanced. Common bar is a. shade stron-
ger at Pittsburg, and finished products are
less shaded at Philadelphia, while at Chi-
cago a better demand is seen in most
branches. Copper has been depressed by
competition to 9% cents fa lake, and lead
is offered more freely at 3.1 cents, while
American makers of tin plates are putting
prices sometimes lower than those of sim-
ilar imported plates.
The Textile Industries.
Strikes to resist reduction of wages in
several textile works and reductions efisct-
ed in some others by no means contradict
the accounts that the mills are receiving
somewhat better orders. Prices of goods
are very low. and print cloths have fallen
to 2.44 cents. below any former record.
The rise in cotton helps the goods market
this week, but is not guaranteed to last.
In woolen goods the initial demand for
heavy weights is nearly over, with fairly
good business in some lines, but only mod-
erate in others, while continued and nu-
merous cancellations in low grade-and me-
dium goods give makers much embarrass-‘
ment. But sales of wool have been 4,858,-
300 pounds, almost half foreign, against
5,150, 300 last year, only a. quarter foreign.
The market for bOOts and shoes is still un-
satisfactory, most jobbcrs holding that it
is not possible to sell at an advance, and
the slack demand for grades in which no
advance is asked supports them, but some-
what more orders have been given this
week at prices asked, enabling some fac-
tories to resume in part. '
Exchanges through clearing houses are
7.9 per cent larger than last year, but 22.6
per cent smaller than in 1893, which for
the first Week of a. month shows little gain.
Money markets have hardened somewhat,
and rather more commercial paper is of-
fered, especially in dry goods. Liabilities
of failures in February amount to $11,— ' ‘
250,122 against 017, 895, 670 last year, $3,-
619,782 being in manufacturing against
$9,109,986 last year, and $0,924,962 in
trading against $8,220,207 last year. Fail-
ures for the week have been 234 in the
United States against 248 last year and
68 in Canada against 60 laSt year.
