In the Number of Failures Throughout the Country. However, There is a General Improve ment in Retail Business? Fries of Leather Falls Bolow tho Average of Last Year, Hides Declined Tlirco Per' Cent. During tho Week Wheat Itoso Aliont Five Cents. New Yoiik, April 18. It. O. Dun & Co. says Saturday in their weokly re vlow of trade: Failures for-tho past week havo been 233 in tho United States against 301 last year, and 20 in Canada against 34 last year. Tho sudden chango from sleighing to midsummer heat has tested tho prevalent idea that good weather only was needed to bring general improvement of business. Everywhero thcro has been moro retail buying and In sorno branches bettor demand at whole sale and at tho works has rosulted, but ,not as yet in most lines. There is no abatement of tho almost universal dis position to deal with unusual con servatism and not to anticipate future wants, and this has been especially conspicuous whoro combinations1 havo been formed of prices advanced. To many interested in Iron oro and coko, steel billets, Bessemer pig and various forms of steel it may bo disap pointing that the forming of combina tions and fixing of prices havo not started afcain tho rush to buy ahead of needs, which made last year so memor-, able. Hut it is not easy to forgot tho lesson which tho past year has taught. Instead of increasing, purchases havo been on tho whole rather slack ened though a little better In plates at tho east and In sheets at Chicago. Bessemer pig and grey forgo ore a shade lower at Pittsburgh, as is tho average of all iron and steel quota tions and obstacles to some attempted combinations have not yet been over come. Tho greatest consumers of lako oro havo not hastened to make con tracts at advanced prices and the out put of coko is stationary! Tin plato makers are mooting- and somo propose to ' produce steol for their trado at plants of their own. Their unsold stocks in creased in March 18,583 tons moro than was reported last week. At tho west almost every town seems to want steol for some building and good orders havo been placed for bars by implement and car makers. Heavy production of cop per defeats heavy exports and 10 is quoted for lako and spelter has broken to 410. Tho bo'ot and shoo makers havo put some quotations a shade, lower since leather has fallen below tho average a year ago and hides to tho .lowest aver ago since November, 1894," havo de clined thrco por cent, this week. Tho northern and northwestern domand is backward though tho bouth has bought freely. Tho silk association states that 40 por cent, of tho machinery and hands in tho country are idlo partly becauso of increasing Japanese competition. Several moro woolen mills have shutdown and some havo reduced wages ton per cent, while many aro working only half time, but recent ad vances by appraisers not only disci oso heavy Undervaluations in tho past, but tend to check futuro imports. Tho de mand for goods does not improve. Somewhat moro demand for staple cot tons has been aroused by bargain prices, but tho closing of many mills for a time is urged ns necessary. Wheat rose about five cents last week, mot some reaction, but is a shade high er than a week ago. After remaining "unchanged for many days, rumors either way having no effect, cotton roso a sixteenth on Thursday. Heavy com mercial and mill stocks hinder most buyers and possibilities of injury to tho coming crop retard sellers at current prices. - March imports wero $3,913,455 smaller and exports 313,300,107 larger than last year, and tho excess of exports was 89,144,015.
