TRADE REVIEW.
Situation in the business World as
Outlined by Dun's COmmmer-
cial Agency.

New York, May 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather
and wages continue the only seriously dis
turbing factors in the business situation.
Excessive moisture and low temperature
made the crop outlook more uncertain, and
much depends on Continuance of prosper
ity in the agricultural sections. On the
other hand, record breaking distribution
of pay in the Pittsburg region accelerated
retail trade, while resumption of wooden
and other mills added largely to the active
force. Transporting lines continue to make
splendid exhibits, railway earnings for the
first week of May exceeding those of a
year ago by 60 per cent. and surpa ssing the
same weeks earnings in 1900 by 1919 per cent.
Failures for the week numbered 22S in the.
United States, against 1T last year, and II
in Canada, against IS a year ago.
