REPORTS MOSTLY FAVORABLE
In All Lines of Business-A Little Quiet

In All Lines of Business-A Little Quiet
ing Down in Wholesale Demand.
New York, May 12.-Bradstreet's will say
tomorrow:
Reports as to trade conditions are gem
orally of favorable tenor, nota BILE among
these being advanced quotations for many
grades of iron and Steel increased activ-
ity in building lines reflected in heavy
sales of lumber at prices tending upward,
IL firner tone in the cotton goods market
sympathiZed in by the raw product bank
clearinSs surprising all records for this
week of the year, railroad earnings main
tanning recent gains and business failures,
as for some time past, down to the mini
mum. Offsettng these in some measure
might be cited the seasonable quoting
down of wholesale distributive demand
particularly for dry goods and clothing
but most notable of all the further weak
ening of cereal values, rejecting the in
difference of foreign buyers. If conditions
of demand, supply, invisible wheat re-
serves and foreign crop advices did not
favor lower prices the government report
might have been regarded as q bullsh
publication. The weakness of the market
under the circumstances may, therefore,
be regarded as rejecting the feeling among
foreign consumers that good crops abroad
and the reiilling of depleted reserves from
last years yield will furnish wheat in
plenty
The demand in iron and steel does not
weaken. Production of pig iron, though
at a maximum is still inadequate and
stocks of pig iron show a further decrease
Reports that possible business in this line
has been rejected come from producing
centres but the efforts of foreigners to OBJ
tain supplies here is nevertheless, testi-
mony to their own productive abilities he-
ing heavily taxed. 1t seems evident that
the first real inspiration in the wool in
dustry must come from abroad. Heavy
buying OF Australian grades for re-export
has been again the feature, but coupled
with this are reported liberal sales at lead
ing markets of domestic wool to go
abroad. In the building trades activity IS
very generally reported sales of lumber
are large, and the strong statistical posi-
tion of nearly all grades foreshadows con-
tinued tirmnesS of a further advance.
