Notwithstanding the peaceful tone
Of the negotiations which have now
been resumed by Norway and Sweden
in connection with the consulate
question, Danish statesmen view the
situation with some disquietude. This
feeling has been created by the ac-
ton of the military committee Of the
Norwegian storthing in recommend
ing Notifications on ting Swedish from
tier to be Immediately manned, al
though they are not yet completed.
Conscripts in districts ad accent to the
ports have been called out for their
usual months training in March in
stead of in the autumn. Sweden con-
siders the committees course as
clumsy method of putting pressure on
the negotiations. Even General L.
Orange, commander-in-chief Of the
Norwegian army, stated to the COM
mittee that the time chosen for calling
out the troops was inopportune.
The Danish steamer "Zenia" was

r. G. Dun G. Co.'S Weekly Review
Of Trade makes the foregoing sum-
mary of the industrial situation. Con-
tinuing the Review says:
Buyers Control Pig Iron.
Conditions in the iron and steel in
austry are sufficiently confusing to
prevent any definite tendency, al
though factors calculated to produce
weakness appear to predominant.
Special sales of imported pig iron have
been made at concessions, but this Is
attributed to delay in transportation
and forced sale by owners. Yet few
months ago similar concessions were
impossible, and it is apparent that the
combination of unprecedented home
production and conservative buying
has taken control of the situation away
from sellers.
D. -ressing Factors.
Three depressing factors have ex-
listed: The labor situation, condi-
ton of crops and the decline in prices
of stocks, although all have improved
and may soon cease to exercise any
baleful effect. Meanwhile uncertainty
as to the future course of prices Of
iron and steel products has become
generally acknowledged, and even ex-
perts in the industry hesitate to ex-
press a decided opinion. Latest re-
ports of imports show large de-
crease, except as to ore, while the ex-
port trade in finished steel tends to
expand.
Cotton Is Firm.
"At the cotton mills there is fair
current activity, although spinners,
whose stock of raw material are low,
have not only ceased to seek business
for future delivery, but refuse to con-
slider propositions, or else place figures
at prohibitive position. Demands are
chiefly limited to immediate consump-
ton. Lower grades Of light weight
woolens for next spring have opened
at advances of 21a to cents yard.
Reports regarding the footwear indus
try are satisfactory. Foreign trade is
remarkably well maintained, consider.
ing the numerous factors that operate.
Failures were 213 in the United
States, against 194 last year, and
twenty-four in Canada, compared with
nineteen a year ago."
