ing Signs of Activity.
Bradstreet's commercial report says:
'"The year opens with tone OF quiet
confidence pervading nearly all branches
of business, with encouraging activity IN
iron trade, resumption of work by many
thousands of industrial employees in the
Western glass industry, a largely reduced
volume of business failures as compared
with corresponding periods in preceding
years and general outlook certainly not
inferior to any previous year at this time.
Autumn weather in the Northwest checks
distribution, but collections are reported
good. The holidays have exercised their
expected effect on export trade in leading
cereals. Wheat exports from the United
States and Canada for the first week in
January amount to 3,4S1 SIG bushels,
against 5,495. 900 bushels last week. Corn
exports also show sensible diminution,
amounting to 4,0S6,00O bushels last week,
against 4.S19,OOO bushels in this week
wear ago"
