r. G. Dun & Co.'S Review Of
Trade for the week ending April Is:
"With better weather, there is Wis
IDLE improvement in trade and oollec-
tons, and while it is but slight As yet,
the outlook for the future is generally
regarded rs encouraging. Crop pros
poets continue excellent, there Is less
monetary pressure At points where
some stri"gency has existed, aud in
the chief ind ustries some improvement
in the demand appears. The unce'-
ta,nties regarding the extent and ef-
fects OF labor troubles have not been
recorded. hut the coke workers appear
to be gradually yielding, and the long
strike OF morocco workers st Lynn 10

will not, from present appearances,
have the support of miners il some

pected to join in the movement.

Larger export demand, and reports Of
scarcity abroad, have lifted wheat q
cents to 81 1911 with sales 46 million
bushels here, and oats have risen
cents to 6l4, and corn ST to 823 on
small sales. The actual scarcity ol
corn and oats makes an advance easy
but of wheat the receipts at Western
ports continue larger than a yea
ago, and the exports until very la,el,
have been much smaller. 1t IL note.
worthy that in all winter wheat .ec
tons the prospect is considered ex
ceptionaIly good, and the acreage i.
reported as largely increased. Raw
sugar has yielded a shade this week,
but all refined above granulated is a
shade higher. With breadstuffs and
vegetables unusually high and wool
