New York, April 5.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say:
Returns showing the condition of re-
tail trade IN March throughout the
country and the distribution Of goods
of final comparison with the same
month in 1894 and 1893, giving salts
factory evidence that in most trades
ard districts marked Improvement over
1894 is realized. though on the whole.
trade is smaller than in 1898. Every
where, also. the occurrence of Easter
but in April this year, is found to ac-
count for much interference in the
volume of retail trade in quantities of
goods sold. 1t is. nevertheless, larger
than last year, but on the whole small
Ter than in 1893. the main difference in
comparison with 1898 being found in the
general decline OF prices, which makes
trade in value smaller. even where it is
clearly as large or larger in quantity.
Accounts from. the chief centers Of
wholesale trade are also encouraging
this week. There is not any hopeful
spirit. but the real gain is in business,
though not equally distributed geo.
graphically or as to branches of trade.
The best news from the industries is
that labor troubles have been settled
or avoided. Next in Importance is the
better demand for manufactured arti-
cles, which gives greater reason to hope
that recent advances from the bottom
may prove successful.
Copper is firmer, as sales of the stock
taken from the French syndicate re-
moved a bad off the market for the
last six years, and tin has been
stronger with tin plates, because of
purchases for Pacific coast Gamers.

Choose a conscientious man, one
