Trade last week says: Weather con-
ditions and the labor situation are the
dominant influences in the business
world. Unseasonably high tempera-
ture at many points, especially In the
east. stimulated retail trade in wearing
apparel and other summer merchan-
disc to an unusual degree. but had q
most unsatisfactory effect upon vege-
tation. which was promptly reflected
in diminished orders for supplies, and
in some cases there were cancellations.
More conservatism was also shown in
the interior, where agricultural prog
ress met with a check, and while no
serious injury to the great staple crops
is yet reported, the delay to planting
induces caution among dealers.
On the whole, there are fewer wage
earners voluntarily idle, yet the spirit
of unrest has caused the abandonment
Of some new enterprises and postpone
ment Of others, which means less de-
mand for structural materials and la
Dor. Payments are also less prompt,
time often being asked where formerly
cash transactions for slight discount
were the rule. Aside from these two
adverse factors, the trade situation is
favorable, and with average weather
and Industrial peace there Is every
prospect Of continued prosperity
throughout the country. Manufactur-
ing plants are generally well occupied.
especially in footwear, iron and steel.
