Co. will say tomorrow in the Weekly
Review of Trade:
Failures for the week were a61 In the
United States against 21S last year. and
40 in Canada against 30 last year.
Movement toward better things is
still the exception. There Is better
business in shoes and small Industries
and there has been n squeezing of short
sellers in cotton. But the general ten
dency of industries and prices is not en-
couraging and those who were most
hopeful a month ago are still waiting.
not 50 hopefully, for the expected re-
covery. distractions to recovery are
not to be sought primarily in the invest
ment or the money market, but i'm the
industrial reaction after the unnatural
expansion of demand and prices last
year.
1t Is striking fact that the only
great industry which is now rapidly
gaining in business is the one in which
prices have been generally cut down to
| last years lowest figures. and the boot
and shoe makers had a reason for hesi-
tation in the price of leather. which
still averages per cent higher than
d year ago. though hldeS are l" per
cent. lower. having again declined the
past week about 3 per cent.
If the manufacturers get narrow
profits, or none. they are at least doing
! a business which will keep most of the
! works in operation. The wooden mills
| have different conditions and with
prices already reduced below last years
| lowest average and wool i.3 per cent
| higher than II was then, they are not
| getting business enough to keep works
In operation. Sales of wool were the
smallest in any week for years.
| The market in wheat has been weak
though rather stagnant but the weight
| of facts as western receipts for three
weeks of March have been $751; iSl
bushels against 5.624.929 last year. At
lantic exports. flour included also show
a decrease amounting to 4,04S,O64 BUSH
! els for three weeks against 500, ,01S last
| year. The movement of corn continues
very large and prices have declined

| A troublesome feature of the situation

because banks are disturbed by failures
