WEST HAS TRADE BOOM.
Increasing Distribution of Merchnn-
disc a Feature of the Situation.

Increasing distribution OF merchan-
disc. particularly in the territory beyond
the Ohio river, including the far North
west, is a feature of the general bust
ness situation, and tells of widespread
prosperity and confidence. The railroads
are carrying more goods that may be
classed as luxHries than before, and in
spite Of Wall streets slightly higher
money market there is no fear on this
score in any line of legitimate trade.
Crop news continues good there is less
trouble from dsagreements with labor
and the long laggard cotton goods market
has recovered slightly with the reduction
Of unsold stocks of print cloths" The
foregoing is from the weekly trade re-
view of II. G. Dun & Co Failures for
the week numbered 1913 in the United
States, against 179 last year. and IA in
Canada, against Is last year"
