Dun’s weekly review of trade says: The past week has fully justified those who gave warning that the mone tary ease, caused by treasury disburse ments, could be but temporary. The market at New York has been tight, with extreme rates paid in some cases. The Boston and Philadelphia monetary pressure also .affects business. The re ports from other cities indicate no slack ing of activity on account of monetary difficulty at any point west or south of Philadelphia. Reports as to collections are almost uniformiy satisfactory. Crops are moving fast, the prices encouraging farmers, but do not go forward to con sumers as rapidly. The distribution of merchandise in nearly all lines continues much in excess of last year’s at every point reporting. The great industries are doing well. Activity in dry goods is everywhere in creased, importers being quick to dispose of many kinds, while the demand is large and genéral. In short, there is every reason to look for a large aud prosperous business, if the pressure in the money market is met, and that pressure tends to eure itself quickly by repressing specudl tion. But the treasury has ample funds available, and if commercial needs be come such that bonds go forward or the payment of interest is accepted, dis g:xersements should quickly be large enough to meet all necessities, Failures of the week are: For the United States, 167; Canada, 26. Total, 198, ngainst 208 last week.
