AUSTIN WEEKLY STATESMAN THURSDAY. APRIL 18. 1S.05. THE WORLD OF BUSINESS, BUSINESS CONTINUES PROVE, BUT WITH A LIKE PACE. TO IM-SNAIL- SUDDEN RISE IN THE PRICE OP CATTLE.

Live Cattle Are Worth $1.60 Per Hundred Weight More Than a Year Ago. The Supply 30 Per Cent Less Thau Then. New York, April 12. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: The future in trade circles is found in the price movement, more particularly those for cattle, dressed beef and petroleum. Drought, low prices and "hard times" within two weeks have resulted in a shorter supply of cattle, prospectively 30 per cent less than last year.

Live cattle are $1.60 higher per 100 pounds than last year and $1 higher than the lowest price this year. Dressed beef is 2 1-2 cents higher than the average last year, the highest since 1885. The comparative scarcity of high grade cattle is emphasized by the fact that present quotations, when made in previous periods of scarcity, have never failed to bring a supply when one existed. Petroleum sold at $1.57 1-2 on Thursday, 02 cents higher than on January 1, and 75 cents higher than a year ago, which is more than three times the lowest price in 1802 and the highest nuotations sine 1888. Reduced produc tion and increased consumption indicate the former has been overtaken, wmcn, with reduced stocks, produces excitement in the market.

Other advances are in leather, hides and footwear. of anthracite coal to New Rne-lnnrt ask more f.o.b. at New York and at the west bar manufactured irons have scored advances in actual irnnsucuuiin. T.nrd is hieher and cotton is up 3-1G, Recent gains in prices for bessemer pig nnd steel billets are maintained, but the request at Pittsburg and Chicago is checked. Coffee and sugar are firm at previous prices, while the list of reactions innlmlon frnptinnal declines only iu wheat, corn, oats and pork, the latter on lower prices of hogs.

Compared with February, March returns of gross earnings of 130 roads may be construed as favorable, the increase over March, 1804, being Z. per pent. Thi is to be contrasted with February decrease this year from last of 2.3 per cent. When it is recalled that gross earnings in March, 1804, fell off 13 per cent trom tne totni in tuat montn, an increase lust montn irom Axarcn, 1S04, of 1-5 of one per cent acquires significance. Exports of wheat from both coasts of the United States this week, flour included as wheat, hold up to a high average bushels, against 2.853,033 in the previous week: 1,055.500 bushels in the second week of April.

1'J4, 2,048,052 bushels in 1803, 2,010,350 bushels in 1802 and 2,450,080 bushels in the second of April, 1801. DUN'S REVIEW. New York. April 12 R. G.

Dun weekly review of trade, which is to be issued tomorrow, will say: Progress toward better business con tinues, but it is slow and meets many onstacles. In speculative aspects nnd in i demands for goods the week shows im provement. Money markets are undisturbed and a little more active, but among theahief obstacles is the anxiety of opera- -uves to secure Dener wages, even wuue I many manufacturing works are running 1 witnout pronts ana omers hic me nsn oi loss. In a number ot estabiisnments wi-ter wages have been conceded, thus increasing the purchasing power of the afmlrnii li iv lnn.rt.1v ill need 5 settlements, several of importance having thrown about 12,000 workers out ot cm- I thia week. Retail trade has improved on the whole, ns the approach of Easter brings more business, but distribution to consumers Still lags UeilllKl pUlCHUWB Ul juuurm, aiiu such demand for products as spring from building and other investments looks into to future.

Crop prospects will grently affect the course of trade for some months and the government report has little in fluence to discourage. For the first time in a long penou prices of commodities average a smiue uiguer tnnri'-vefir ago in Great Britain, also owing to different causes, a slight advance I occurred in Axarcn. wu uum omco mo neenn the lowest level ever known may She followed by some rise. Cotton is on both sides more buoyant than anything netroleum here, crude oil having risen to 100, the highest Avar 17 venrs. Nothing sup ports the advance of l-8c in cotton the past weeK except, uie iuiiriiu next crop will be short, for receipts are large and loO.uuu Daies more tum i largest crop ever grown have already come into sight this year, iTn.nf haa nonrlv a cent, al though Atlantic exports for two weeks nave oeen Hour, against 3,50,080 last year, yu western receipts only 2,000,472, against 4,223,434 last year, R'eceipts of cattle are about one-half nnd exports about one-nrtn ot jcm.
