A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK.
Better Foreign Demands for Our Broadstufis
Sent Export Business Up-Encouraging
Reports From Retail Business.

Bradstreets review says: Trade a1-
vices are rather more cheerful. This ap-
plies as much to current retail business,
which has been enlarged by winter
weather, as it does to spring trade,
which finds stimulation in the general
confidence felt as to the outlook for the
coming year. Prices show exceptional
strength all things considered. For
cign demand for our breadstuffs has
been rather better and this is reflected
IN heavy exports, particularly OF corn,
Specially cheerful reports come from
the shoe and leather the lumber and the
iron trades, the strength of prices of the
latter having been increased by the talk
of pending consultations. although the
volume of business is restricted from
the same cause. Failures are smaller
than OF late and current railroad earn
ings show large gains over good re-
turns OF year ago.
Boots and shoes are in rather better
demand at all markets. Retail distribu-
ton OF these and OF rubber goods has
been helped by current weather condi-
tions. Good spring orders are reported
at most markets. Despite the check to
new business given by the talk OF con-
solidation fair volume OF trade is doing
at all leading iron markets, and the al
vances noted in these columns last week
are firmly held.
