As Brndstrect Sees 1t.
Bradstreet's says: THE apparently
steady rise in the tide of general business
has been diversified this week by an out
burst of speculation interest in a number of
staples, notably cotton and wheat, which
heretofore have registered steady gains on
actual consumptive demand rather than on
the development of marked bullish specu-
lation. Large transactions and buoyant
prices have been features in these staples,
and signs are not wanting that sympa-
thetic though smaller movements in a num-
Der of other lines are either under way or
contemplated. Exceptional industrial
activity. particularly In the iron and steel
trades, is another feature of note and
here, too, price advances are all but gen.
eral, rejecting so far as can be seen chiefly
the urgency of consumers requirements,
the claim in fact being made that specula-
ton has not as yet entered into the buy
ing in this branch of industry. The same
claim, however, can hardly be made as re-
CARDS a number of movements toward con-
solidatiop in this and other industries
where. in fact, the movement toward com
tination is desired as approaching virtual
craze. In the regular channels of distrib-
utive trade, conditions continue In the
main satisfactory, the volume of spring
orders at most markets being reported as
larger h in any recently preceding year
