CONDITION OF TRADE.
Review of the Week by r.
G. Dun Co.
SOME IMPROVEMENT IS NOTICED

Buyers Cautious and Only Laying In
Supplies to Meet Present Demands.
The Most Distinct Gain Is In Iron
and steei-Failures Are Less Impor-
tant and Fewer.
New York, March 1a.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Evidences of present Improvements in
business multiply, but confidence in
future improvement does not seem to
increase. There is more business and
a larger production by industries. for
the season has arrived when greater ac-
tivity is necessary if dealers stocks are
to be reptenished, and those who cam
not make calculations beyond few
months are the most anxious to crowd
as much trade az they safely can into
| those months
In some branches of distribution.
| however, there are indications of di-
minishing demand for goods, and the
evident preference for medium lo,g
priced articles with the known redue-
tion ii wages and family expenditures
lead many to feel somewhat less conf
dent that business will soon recover its
former volume. Undertakings reach
ing beyond short time are not made
with greater freedom, and in spite of a
larger present demand prices of manu-
featured goods tend downward
The most distinct gain Is in iron and
steel manufactures The output of pig
iron increased 10 per cent, though it is
still 3IS per cent. less than last year
Shipments of boots and shoes from
the east are 14.8 per cent. smaller than
year ago for the same week, and pur-
chaseS are still mainly of medium or
low priced goods. In textile manufae-
lures and dry goods there are increased
activity and replenishment of stocks,
as is natural at this session. In wooleus
also manufacturers are increasing pro-
ducEoa mainly III testative way.
Orders are little more than sufficient to
test TIE market.
BEeadstuffs and oils have been
stronger, provisions weaker and cotton
hesitates. Wheat advanced 1-2c. Lard
and hogs both declined nevertheless.
Sales of cotton We're larger at first
with some decline, which afterward re-
covered
The volume of domestic trade shown
by clearings decreases for the week
only 15.4 per cent outside of New
York and 34.9 per cent here, compared
with last year.
Failures are glowing less important
and somewhat fewer also The num-
Der of failures during the past week
has been 248 in the United States,
against 1913 last year, and 60 in Canada,
against 80 last year.
