No Trade Improvement shown Except In
Eoots and Shoes.
NEW YORK, March AR. q. Dun b
Co, in their weekly review OF trade, say:
Waiting is still the rule. Large hope but
little actual business explains the sire 9Th
Of some markets and the weakness OK
others. The feeling that the spring OF
1896 ought To bring larger business wiH
not suffice to meet expenses all the seH
son II the larger business does not come.
Thus far, there Is u decided increase In
the demand for boots and shoes, secured
by considerable concessions in price, bus
In other branches OF business concessions
are made in vain, or are not made. Mean.
while. 1t Is encouraging To know that one
of the most important business interests
has realized definite Improvement. The
insurance companies of whic' ,turns ara

business and larger inco ever be.
fore, and also a most rel sie sound
ness of mortgage loans and other invest
ments.
1t is noteworthy that prices Of materials
have varied quite differently from prices
OF manufactured products, although In
most cases the advance last fall was com.
menced by extraordinary uplifting OF
prices for materials. Thus cotton Is 27.9
per cent higher than a year ago, but cot
ton goods average only 1917 per cent.
Wool is 53 per cent higher than y ar
ago, but wooden goods are on the VIII liz
about per cent lower. Boots and shoes
are practically not higher than n year ago,
while leather has risen lilo per cent, and
hides at the moment arc only 20 per cent
higher. These comparisons are impor-
tant, because they disclose something OF
Che grave dlslocation OF prices which in
adequate consumption and combinations
have produced.
The boo and shoe manufacturers have
gone out business during the week,
and by dint Of reducing prices much be-
low the parity OF leather have secured
quKe large contracts so that many esrab-
llshments are resuming work. Cotton
goods sell but slowly, notwithstanding re-
cent reductions in price, and the enor-
nous accumulation OF unsold stocks
causes apprehension in many quarters.
In woolens the demand Is very largely fos
low grade goods, and fierce competition
affects the prices OF the better grades.
Failures for the week have been SOC In
the United States, against 200 last year.
and GO In Canada, against 81 last year.
