Company's Weekly Review of Trade will
say tomorrow:
.sAfter a great wave of advancing prices
optimism as to business is generally DAN
gerous. But the top was reached the
middle of March, since which time reac-
tion has come in every industry SO that
consumers are asking whether in some
directions the decline may not have been
unreasonably large, as was the advance,
and whether buying on the present basis
of prices is not fairly sure. There are
further evidences of weakness in raw ma
terials, notably the break in structural
iron. but each one is availed Of to place
heavy contracts. New York is welcoming
buyers from all over the country in lar
ger numbers than for many years at THIS
season, in dry goods, IN groceries,, IN
jewe1ry and in hardware, and II con-
tracts are not placed to as large a vol
ume as expected by this time it is be-
cause of conservatism of those who think
they may compel some further shading
of prices.

tant points of distribution show the same
eagerness to buy when the time seems
right.

bottom has been reached in prices of iron
and steel. The decline was severe and
recovery must be slow. Gradual advances
and moderately increasing activity are
more healthy than violent changes. In
no single division is the Improvement
more striking than in any other. Except
steel rails, all forms of iron from the
ore to the finished product are being
sought more eagerly and with less effort
to secure further concessions in price.
