Dun .fc Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say; The disturbance In Wall street is apparently ap-parently without effect on the industrial and trade situation, which, measured bv the best tests, continues In a. healthy and active condition. A further perceptible broadening of demand de-mand for pig Iron is noted at many load-Infr load-Infr centers, and In the matter of prices the sltunllon generally Is more satisfactory satisfac-tory to producing Interests. Irregularity Is still apparent In finished lines, and there Is evidence that tho railroads nro holding back considerable new business, although car orders at the west are quite liberal, and several large contracts are pending. In ths primary dry goods market house sales are progressing, and the break In cotton, although an unsettling feature made no change In Jobbing prices. Buyers of cotton blankets and other napped goods of a staple character arc operating freely at an advance over a year ago, and stocks In all parts of the country aro reported to be well cleaned up. In the woolen goods division a sharp reduction was made on heavy serge, while tho demand for fancy overcoatings 13 satisfactory. Supplementary spring orders for fool-wear fool-wear In tho Boston market are fair In volume, and manufacturers regard the outlook as promising. Present prices are well sustained. The leather trade continues dull. Braclotrcet's Review. NEW YORK, Jan. 21. Bradstreet's tomorrow to-morrow will say: Trade reports are of the usual midwinter mid-winter character, reflecting' widespread Inclement weather, and also considerable un-ttlemcnt due to commodity price fluctuations. Outdoor activities, such as building, are, of course, retarded, and bad roads affect country trade. Traveling men arc now numerous on tho road, and good spring orders nro being be-ing received by jobbers, while reports as to far future trade nrc still satisfactory. satisfac-tory. Retail trade varies with sections reporting. re-porting. Reports as to collections arc Irregular. It Is noted that a good deal of money Is tied up In grain, which has been In transit for some time, as a result of traffic traf-fic Interruptions duo to storms and to the switchmen's strike. Finished Steel Is less active, demands from railroads being apparently held back, but pig Iron Is in better request.
