Dun & Co Weekly Review notes wheat rise amid frost and wages gains
The Dun and Co Weekly Review reports frost and cold snap threaten fruit but spare crops, while retail trade slows. Wages rise 10 percent at Carnegie works and Jones & Laughlin, with other firms likely to follow. Domestic trade expands but employment remains tight in the interior as money flows to speculation. Wheat gains five cents, corn up half a cent, iron prices advance, and woollen goods stay near parity amid cautious demand.
