BRADSTRE EET's REVIEW

New York February 16.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Satisfactory advices as to expanding spring trade in dry goods and kindred lines come from number of makes That the aggregate business of the country is of good volume otherwise is, however indicat- ed by detailed reports of increase in trade as compared with last year, confirmed by satisfactory railroad earnings, by fair gains in bank clearings and by reports of better demand for money in commercial channels, unseasonably mild weather has had an appreciable effect upon several in- dustries notably those engaged in the man. ufacture of footwear in discoura ging sales ofthe same, actually causing the shut down of some rubber manufactures, and also in depreciated value for certain makes.
 The foreign demand for iron and steel seems likely to have a most important ef- feet upon prices of the domestic product It is conceded that any important recession in value would be met by heavily enlarged export movement. American pig iron prices are steadily held, the only weakness noted being manifested at the east Concession>in southern prices claimed not to extend beyond one furnace. Considerable orders for pig iron have been placed at full prices, and nothern coke particularly has moved well in the central west Steel rails are well held, fair business being reported at the west but plants are weak in spite of a heavy demand.
 Tin Is higher, having reached 30 cents this week on improved demand. The strength of raw cotton, spot reaching nearly cents at New York this week, is of course the leading feature in a speculative way. De- spite heavy realizing and some drregularity the movement has continued upward. The strength of the raw products is responsible for the unquestionable active demand for the finished products noted this week in nearly all points. Some mills are reported sold ahead on brown cotton and stocks are scarce and the same story of small stocks comes from New England. Cotton yarns are specially active, and some large New Eng land concerns are seeking to fill their or ders through the aid of southern supplies. Woolen goods are meeting with a good in- quiry, but some grades had been cut. Quar- ter bloods and lower grades constitute the bulk of the business. and these sorts remain as firm as ever.
 Some cutting of the list price for anthra- cite coal is reported, while bitnminous grades are very firm, and leading operators talk of further advance, caused by ts

COAL IN ITALY IS VERY SCARCE
Danger of Industrial Plants Be-
 ing Shut Down.
WILL SOON REACH $9 A TON
Ambassador Draper Suggests That the Matter is Worthy the Attention i of Coal Mining Compa-
 nies in United States

Washington, February 16-Qspecial.)- Ambassador Draper sends to the con- sular bureau of the state department an article from L L'Ita.ie regarding the scarcity of coal in Italy, which is of considerable interest. It follows:
 ''rhe increase in the price of coal in England threatens to have serious conse- quences in Italy. It is known that Engl stl dealers have taken advantage of the pres ent war to maintain and Increase the price of coal which has now become even dn England a luxury and has reached in cer tam towns the price of 45 francs C$S69) per ton.
 Moreover, it is known that means Of transport are becoming insufficient, the English government having hired a large number of boats belonging to companies and to private individuals. The result of it is that coal may very soon reach the price of 50 francs ($965) per ton in Genoa and GO francs ($l1.50 in Milan. We to- day informed that, owing to t'he lack of coal, eight indus trial establishments of Bovisa may De obliged to shut down. Thousands of workmon would thus be thrown cut of >~.rk. The Qroprietcrs of these establishments have requested Signor Lacava (minister oi pu Jlc works) to se- cure the pron.pt Assistance of tine govern ! iHSil at d tiiilt NLeH, CNlHS lO lHe lHuuS- tr4al revival m--tnessed in Italy, a cessation of work would have disastrous conse- quences.
 We understand that the minister of pub lie works is studying the best means to prevent sudl a crisis and to insure public enterprises and at the same time assist private ones"
 worthy of Attention
 General Draper says:
 The situaton 1 think, Is worthy the at tention of coal mining enterprises in the tn.ted States. Italy depends mainly upon England for coal, and the price to the con srmer is always high, even in times of peace; ROW it has gone up enormously. In view of these facts-ttle Italian nigh price, the low cost per ton of American coal al the sea5oard, and the ocean freight rate 1t appears to me that a large margin of profit is offered to American coal ex- porters.
 l may add that some exporters in Eng land deem it wise, when they fill an order Tor Italy, to insist upon payment of in- voices; otherwise, veXa attous objections are apt to be made, and the cargo may be dis posed of at a disadvantage"
