Revival Prices and Currency Question Hold Back Trade
New York January reports from Bradstreets show little improvement in general trade over the week. Merchants await currency settlement, with some optimism from merchants, while stocks remain smaller and demand for coal and fabrics rises in cold weather. Bank clearings for 1894 totalled 4.995 billion, down 16 percent from 1893 and 26 percent from 1892, the smallest nine year total. Failures reach 13,885 in the US and 1,856 in Canada with liabilities mostly in manufacturing in the US and trading firms rising in Canada. Prices of commodities sit at the lowest level since records began, with the December average at 68.73 percent of 1860 prices, down from previous lows. The varied drop shows broad weakness across sectors with uneven recoveries.

Austrian Retaliation Not Feasible Says U S Official
