Dan's Review of Trade reports signs of steady improvement in Chicago as Varieys branches trim output winds down. Banks near specie payments and expanded discounts support a higher volume of business evidenced by teak exchanges, with the best showing in weeks. Resumption after repairs reduces idle workers and furnaces, mills, and forges show better prospects. Iron, steel, wire bookings grow. furniture, boxmaking, footwear, and vehicle orders rise. Prices stay largely steady though some hesitancy arises from cost pressures. Retail clearance sales improve, and wholesale markets attract more buyers for staples, textiles, boots, shoes, cloth goods, and food products. Mercantile collections across the West are uneven, with some areas remitting promptly and others defaulting. Chicago district reported 35 failures versus 28 last week and 352 year to date.
