Improvement in Industrial Conditions Still Continues, As Does Also the Rise in Speculative Markets Future Prospects of Trade Good. YonK, April R. G. Dun weekly review ol trade says: "Neither tho rising In speculative markets nor the steady Rain In industries has ceased, and IE Is wholesome tiat there" arc fewer signs of hesitation In tho productive Industries than In speculative prices. Wages strikes jrrow more numerous and cause some trouble, uud retail demand ings behind wholesale sales and jobbing purchases behind production in BOrno brunches, but through many conllictlnj? reports the fact shines out that the Industries are Raining, not with a rush and a whirl, bin, mora safely.

It Is loss clear that railroads arc Increasing their earnings, or that over production of eolton will be cured by tho advance of IX cents In price, or that cornering short sellers of wheat will help to market tho large surplus. Due revival of activity In all theso if possible, excessive In some, helps ocDlldence to take tho throne so long Sold by distrust. Recovery is not often mathematically equitable.

there must be many contradictory changes. Quito a number of works haTfi advanced wages during tho week, but strikes to compel an advance, possible for some but not for others, have grown much more numerous. Some shops are closing for want of orders, but a larger cumber are resuming work. Prices of shoes and cotton goods rising; wool and woolens arc lower. It would be distinctly unnatural movement, Inviting only distrust, If it were sympathetic and with equal stop In all branches, Shoe and Leather 'Doubt whether hides and whether leather would bo held at higher prices hindered shoo manufacturers for a time, but now jobbers want to give more orders than manufacturers care to talio, who have their leather yet to buy.

The hindrance Is tho advance In hides and leather, for while Ttf and 10 coats more Is for shoes, tho present cost of leather aakos many 10 to 18 oeuts dourer, and 8 cents for western hides Is said to mean higher vot for some kinds oflcathor, Cotton mills ure getting more money for goods and have quite generally advanced wages. Tho consumption is large, and ftd- ances seem to bo warranted. Tho Iron Industry, "Iron production, stimulated because ore, colce and oil were to Uo dearer, is retarded by shrinking demand for products, for on tho whole, now business Is said to bo smaller than In February or Maroh.
