G- DUNN & GO-'S REVIEW OF TRADE FOR THE WEEK.- Ctiaage for the Better tn 'the Price or Com mod It le Cottoa Illshtr Kotwlth Ktandlng the Larse Crop The Iron Trade Thoasht to Have Touched Bottom. New York, Feb. 8 The average price of commodities, which had been gradually declining nnce January 1 and for some weeks previous to that date, has taken a turn upward during t ae past week. . The advance has been about 1 per cent, in the aggregate, ana is narea aoout equally by tpecu- ativo ana non-speculative articles. A change for the better in this re spect after so long a period of declin ing prices, with the large business m progress is usually a fayorble indica tion for the future, but in this increase the temporary influence of a change of weather and of certain speculative movements must be remembered. It has been a matter of surprise, how ever, that the volume of legitimate Dusmess nas continued larger than in any previous year, notwithstanding the unseasonable weather in January, and the deterring influence of falling prijes. Outside of New York par- menis inrougn clearing nouses in January cover about 15 per cent. larger than last year, and colder weather tends to remove an important cause of depression. Speculative markets are mixed, some weaser and others stronger. Pork has declined half a dollar per barrel, lard a fraction, and hogs fif teen cent3 per cwt., and these niove- ments are in accord with a decline of a half cent in corn and cereals; but wheat has risen It cents, with reports that a powerful combination at Chi cago has commenced May deliveries, and tho margin between New York and Chicago prices has grown wider Chicago being higher by the artificial nature of western prices, needs no other proof than the fact that in spite of this difference wheat is still shipped from the West and rrom Chicago to New Yoik. Export demand has increased a little, but is still insignificant.. Oil ha3 advanced one-half a cent, and cotton a quarter in spite of the heavy increase of last year, and a considera ble decrease in exports. The weather in the South has been especially f a vor able for saving the large crop, and higher , estimates of last year's yield are current. Iron trade is thought by some to haye touched bottom. The Thomas Iron Company has named $15.30 as its contract price for grey forge, which is called equal to $15 for Southern iron at tide water,but has not yetjdecided upon its opening price for foundry grades. Some boutnem tellers have withdrawn from the market and except Bessemer pig no further depression in price appears, but of that grade considera ble sales are reported at $15, by man ufacturers who had taken larger stocks than they are able to use with profit. No change appears in rails, and it is eJaimed that the only sales below $27 have been made under exceptional circumstances. Coal is phenomenally dull and many collieries are stopping. The mines at Pittsburg have resumed and the coke strike has been aban doned. . A noteworthy feature in the reports from interior towns is that all records some complaint as to collections. One city reports "no improvement?" an other rather poor," and others some what dull, or decidedly "slow," but no uneasiness is expressed and slackness at this season is not unusual, though it is rare that the complaint is so general. Business is al most everywhere called quiet, but when compansions are made some ex cess oyer last year is usually observed. There is nowhere complaint as to the supply of money, but it is generally collected with moderate or slack de mand. Foreign trade continues large and for five weeks imports show a gam over last year of 8 2 per cent, and ex ports'a gain of 19 per cent. Business failures occurring through out the country during last week number for the United States 273, Canada 30. Total 303, against 332 last week. Hurled Alive Baltimore, Feb, 8, A News, Onancock special says; J. T. Fletcher, of Jenkins Bridge, was: almost buried alive Sunday. Funeral services had been held, the coffin interred and the grave nearly bricked when some one heard a groan issue from tho eoffiu. The coffin was at once disinterred and Fletcher examined, his blood was found to be circulating and his pulse beaiing. He was at once carried home and put in bed. He rapidly improved, but never regained consciousness. On Tuesday the 5th inst.,hedied and was again buried. It is not known what was his disease. i A Prlsoaer on Hi Way to America. London, Feb. 8.

After debate the Chair sustained the point of order ou the ground that the item for torpedoes belonged to the Fortifications bilL . Tha clause was therefore stricken out. After a few unimportant amendments adding sun dry email items of 1 appropriation, the committee rose and the bill was passed. The Agricultural Appropriation bill was then taken up for consideration, and it met no opposition until the clause relative to the distribution of seed was reached, when Mr Enloe, of Tennessee, made an attack upon the system.j His remarks, however, bad no effect, a motion! made by him to strike but the clause being voted down.

This would leave net reduction of revenue about $12 GOO.000 or $13, 000,000, leaving the internal revenue sections out ot the calculation. Cotton Still Barned. Worcester, Mass., Fb. S.
