CONDITIONS FAVORABLE.
Dun and Bradstreet Find Much En-
enlargement in Business Situa-
ton of the Country.

New York, March 19-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Improvement in trade and industry con-
tinues, favorable reports largely out
numbering adverse Influences. The most
important event OF the week was the two
thirds vote by bituminous coal miners
to accept the proposed reduction in
wages. This will probably prevent a
serious struggle that would paralyze
manufacturing just when it is beginning
to revive. Complications have arisen in
the local building trades that retard
structural work, but settlement is an
ticipated and the open weather is stimu-
lating outdoor work at other points, Re-
tail distribution of Easter goods steadily
expands and dealers stocks are being
depleted because of conservatism in in
itial purchases This promises large
supplementary jobbing and wholesale
orders as the season advances.
Failures this week numbered 229 in
the United States, compared with 22O last
year, and q in Canada, against % a
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: "The backwardness
of spring trade, generally attributed to
almost interrUptedly bad weather. tinges
most reports from distributive centers,
but several developments of the week
have been notably favorable.
