stat. Of Trade.

Bradstreet's Review Of Trade for the
present week says:
General distributive trade Ia OF good
volume, although affected by weather
conditions and holidays. Spring bust.
ness is enlargtng at many markets East
and West. the presence OF buyers being
encouraged by special passenger rates.
A softening Of prices Of speculatively
dealing staples is to be noted. but the
reactions are OF narrow extent. Money
Is steady as a whole. and NO higher
than week ago. In bank ciearinEs
comparisons are less favorable. partly
because OF less pronounced specula-
tive activity at this time than last year.
Gains in railway earnings for the Arst
two weeks In February are Of absolute
ly phenomenal proportions. but II must
be remembered that there were excep-
tionally severe weather conditions ex-
perienced last year. In spite OF this.
however, II Is to be said that ast-bound
tonnage is Of unparalleled volume.
while shipments OF spring goods to the
country are very large. That railroad
rates are being badly cut Is confidently
asserted. The earnings OF go roads for
the second week OF February aggregate
$7.94l 900, an increase OF 30.4 per cent
over the same period a year ago. Bus

scale. encouraging alike to distributors
