Bradstreet's Review

Bradstreet's review will say: Dullness
accompanied by depression has marked
the speculative situation this week. Trans.
actions have been almost entirely profess
sional and the market as whole very mar
row. Some liquidation of long holdings
could, however, be traced, and the trading
element on the stock exchange at times,
with more or less vigor, although the in
crease of this short interest resulting there
from resulted in some covering and fur
nished the only support to prices that was
at all in evidence.
European interest i'm American stocks is
of the smallest character, and though Lon.
don bought late in the week, it was in such
trfling amounts that no effect was pro-
duced. The fact that foreign exchange
rates keep steadily below the gold export
point does not fail to attract attention.
Another factor of some importance is
the slow movement of corn. The general
unwillingness of farmers to sell at the
present reduced tonnage and profits of
western railroads creates a disappoint-
ment which is shown in the inactive spec.
ulation in railroad shares generally, de-
spite the evidence that the new Joint
traffic association is working well and
that the trunk lines and other roads are
conducting competitive business with a
minimum of rate cutting or friction. Nor
is it possible to ignore the fact that the ap-
proach of the presidential campaign has
an unsettling effect and that this feeling 10
supplemented by the apparent venture
sOmeness OF the present congress in re-
gard to the country's foreign relations and
it's impotency when the finances and cur
rency are at stake.

COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS
Weekly Review of Trade and of the Business
Out(Ook


New YORK. March 2O.-R. &. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade, which issues
tomorrow, will say: Movement toward
better things is still the exception. There
is better business in shoes and small indus
tries and there has been squeezing of
short sellers in common. But the general
tendency of industries and prices is not
encouraging. and those who were the most
hopeful q month ago are still waiting, not
SO hopefully, for the expected recovery.
The root of the business is that in many
departments men bought more and pro-
duced moro when prices were mounting
and everybody was rushing to buy last year
more than they have yet been able to sell.
The iron industry shows but q slight
average decline in prices as combinations
still insist upon the highest prices of last
year and the demand is naturally cur
tailed. Quotations are deceptive because
lower prices are constantly made to secure
business, but with ore and coke combina-
tions demanding high figures, hesitation is
inevitable. The ma1ket in wheat has been
weak, though rather stagnant, but the
weight of facts is felt. as western receipts
for three weeks of March have been
o,9S2, ,481 bushels against 1924 1929 last
year. Atlantic exports, flour included,
also show decrease amounting to 4,04S,-
O64 bushels for three weeks, against
5,O97,O1S bushels last year. The move
ment of corn continues very large and
prices have declined cent for cash.
Failures for the week were 26l in the
Uni ted States, against 27S last year, and
forty-nine in Canada against thirty-five
last year.

New YORK, March 2O.-Today's stock
market was in the main uninteresting. The
record of transactions was below even the
slim total of the previous day. and the
fluctuations as a rule reflected the backing
and filling of OF the board room scalpers.
American Tobacco was again the leader
in activity, followed by ST. Paul and Louis
vile, the last two on about an equal vol
ume. The London market for Americans
came slightly lower. Pacific Mail
loomed into prominence toward the
close of fair volume of business,
and advanced 2M per cent to PIN.
In detail 1.-The market shaded slightly at
the outset to moderate extent, but the
strength of Tobacco and a covering move
Inent by the shorts served to carry prices
to point making the net changes slight in
most cases. The closing was quiet but
firm at slight concessions generally as
compared with yesterdays final fgures.
The dealings in bonds fell below the re-
cent averages and the tone was heavy.
The declines of consequence were confined
to the usually inactive bonds. In this class
Atchison. Colorado and Pacific flrsts fig
ured for 534 per cent. In the active list
Northern Pacific thirds healed the losses
with = per cent The sales were ,OO5-
900. Governments were quiet. Prices
we're practically unchanged on dealings of
