Trade Notes From Bradstreets and Dun's Review
Bradstreet's and Dun's Review report large distribution of goods despite severe weather and tight money in parts of the country. Weather, imports exceeding exports, and monetary pressure slowed trade while confidence remained, with exports of breadstuffs and cotton down from last year and wheat and corn prices shifting.
