TRADE CONDITIONS
MORE FAVORABLE
Commercial Agencies Hopeful
Over Strike Situation
IRON AND STEEL ACTIVE
Failures Continue Well Down to the
Minimum and Bank Clearings Are
Beginning to Compare Bet
ter With a Year Ago.

New York. May 2e.-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say:
The weeks developments have been
largely favorable. Crop conditions par
ticularly those of spring-sown cereals ana
cotton have shown further improvement.
The labor situation, particularly IN coal
trade has likewise measureably lmproV-
ed, advances toward the end of the week
pointing to the anthracite strike ending
before the position as to supplies becomes
critical. Cool wealner, 1t is true mas
retarded retail demand and measuraoiy
checked recorder business with Joppers
and heavy frosts have done damage TO
vegetables on the Northern edge OF the
country, but this is regarded as only
temporary halt and the general volume
of business has been helped by the large
amount booked for next autumn's oeliv-
cry.
Among the industries general activity
still rules, with iron and steel. hardware
lumber, the building trades and bitumin-
GUS coal displaying exceptional activity.
Failures continue well down to the min
i'm UNI and bank clearings are beginning
to compare better with a year ago. Rail-
road earnings hold all the former adj
vantages shown over preceding years.
Gross railroad earnings returns to Brad
streets for the third week OF May point
to nearly per cent increase over year
ago. Large fruit crops are Indicated this
year and the same Is true of vegetables,
but the latter are backward on cold
weather. High prices for tobacco indi-
Gates that a large acreage will be plant
ed. Early predictions of decrease in the
cotton area are being whitfield down and
present prices certainly favor as large.
If not a larger area, than a year ago.
Boots and shoes and the leather trade
advices are rather irregular. Iron and
steel are quieter as regards new business
In finished products, but there are reports
of large transactions pending in the
cruder forms. The leading interest has
bought considerable Southern pig iron at
a price, delivered at Plttsburg, close to
$40 ton. Inquiry for pig iron for next
year is noted. Outside steel works are
reported as being liberal buyers for for
eign iron. Implement manufacturers are
reported as ordering literally Of bars for
next year. The anthracite coal strike
has affected furnaces using that fuel in
conjunction with coke, but the effect on
the general pig iron supply has not yet
been considerable. In finished products
new business is generally small but the
mills are still crowded with orders.
Wheat dncluding -FOUR exports for five
days aggregate s,9oO.64 bushels, against
5, $3.50 last week.
Corn exports aggregate T47S bushels
against 5000 last week and 2.oS9,34S last
year.
Business failures in the United States
for the week number 1853, against 1852 last
week. 1A In this week last year, 1876 in

In the Dominion of Canada failures
numbered 49, against II last week and 21
