THE TRADE REVIEW.

New York, Deo. 28. B. G. Dunn Co'a, Weekly Review ot Trade says: Trading during tbe past week has been undisturbed by the monetary pressure often experienced near the end of the year and has on tbe whole Improved.

The long foreshadowed break in wheat speculation came but there has been some recovery. Sales here have been but 16,000,000 bushels for the week and it is still uncertain Whether prices hare declined enough to permit the marketing of the large surplus the country hai on hand. Enormous crops in Russia and th Danubian states with lower freights keep European prices low and the constant unloading by operators throughout Europe who bought heavily when tbe crop scare prevailed. Corn closed lXo lower, oats lower, pork 25c per barrel lower, while hogs rose 35c per 100 pounds; cotton was steady with sales for the week of 310,000 bales and coffee unchanged with 204,000 bags sold. A break in oil dropped the price 6)c and refilled also declined 10c per 100 gallons.
