WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Retail and Wholesale Business Helped
by Warmer Weather.
(By Associated Press.

(By Associated Frrss.)
f NEWtfYORK,iS May l5.-R, g. Dun and
Company's Weekly Review OF Trade to-
morrow will say:
Warmer weather has made 1t possible
for the retail trade to regain part of the
earlier losses In volume Of transactions.
and the level Of quotations and value Of
staple lines of merchandise Is we'll main
tanned. Wholesale trade In seasonable
goods is quiet although there is more or
less supplementary BUSINESS, and Job
berg report Increased activity in several
lines of wearing apparel. Clothing manu-
facturers are busy on fall samples, which
are unusually late. AT most points there
are indications Of Improvement In mer-
camille collections, the favorable progress
Of farm work having good influence
at the interior, while heavy sales of fer
tilizers testify to the extensive prepara-
lions for large crops.
Industrial conditions would be eXcep-
tionally encouraging were 1t not for the
vast army of men voluntarily idle. Rail-
way earnings continue to show the usual
gains. May figures thus fnr showing q
cfi in over last year of 1874 per cent, and
OF 1901 by 293 per cent, Textile manu-
featuring conditions are extremely irreg-
ular. some improvements being noted at
wooden mills. while cotton splnners are
In bad position.
Cotton mills are harassod by the phe-
nomenal quotations for raw material, be-
ing unable to obtain even small conces-
sions from buyers of goods, and only pur-
chase small quantities as are required
Immediately. Not only has there been no
advance IN print cloths but special
sale Mt three cents occurred. This was
not from producers, but special resale
of goods purchased Mt higher figure
earlier In the season. Mills have not
made general reduction In output. all
though the subject Is under consideration,
and several concerns have decreased the
number of active looms.
Failures this week We're 1906 In the United
States, against 22s last year
