THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
Dun Reports That Signs of Improve
ment Are Multiplying.

NEW YORK, March 1O.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. S Weekly Review says: Evidences
of present improvement in business
multiplies, but confidence in future
Improvement does not seem to in
crease. There is more business, and
a larger production by industries, for
the season has arrived when greater
activity is necessary if dealers in
stocks are to be replenished, and those
who cannot make calculations beyond
a few months are the more anxious
to crowd as much trade as they safely
can into these months. In some
branches of distribution, however,
there are indications of diminishing
demand for goods, and the evident
preference for medium and low-priced
articles, with the known reduction in
wages and family expenditures, lead
many to feel somewhat less confident t
that business will soon recover its
former volume. Undertakings reach
ing beyond short time are not made
with great freedom, and in spite of
larger present demand, prices of
manufactured goods tend downward.
The number of failures during the
past week have been 2S4 in the United
States against 1913 last year and sixty
in Canada, against thirty-two last
year.
