COLD WEATHER IS
 RENDERING TRADE Seriously Interferes With Build ing Operations IRON AND STEEL ARE QUIET Dun and Bradstreet Report Hesitancy In Placing Orders Because of In-
 creased Reduction In
 Price of Ore.
IRON AND STEEL ARE QUIET

New York, April 22-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say;
 I5nseasonably cold weather all over the country irterferes with plant prepara- tlons and growth and interrupts outdoor activity in many lines, notably building cistfi.uiive trade, both wholesale and re- tail. has practically marked time dur ing the week The effects of this and of ps st lpfavorable weather are reflected in reports os slow business in shoe manu- facturing and building, while i'll cotton manufacturing high prices of raw and nanufaetule ed goods continued a bar to activity.
 At ths south. oeld weather is complain ed of as interfering with farming opera tions and with plant growth These causes nave combined to give an air of unwonte1 quiet to spring business and have nnquestionably retarded collections. l,ack of weather and prices conditions loo. there looms up the political outlook. which in most presidential years has in- duced d tendency towards conservatism.
 Among the industries, iron and steel are even more quiet than last week. Buy CTS fer Genvery, during the second quar- ter are as insistent as ever in demands for delivery. but makers of finished pro- aGcls, with few exceptions, observe hes itation in the placing of orders for the balance ,f the year, this hesitancy being increased cy tEe- reduction in the price of ore. Ae:n Lltural implement manufac- turers are among the freest buyers of steel hut the railroads are taking only sTtaringiy.
 Woolen goods and machinery could be more active and the market for raw wool is rather low at the east, though higher prices than last year are report ed being paid for the new wool clip at the west. Raw cotton has weakened. There are some exceptions to the quiet tone noted, especially in the rubber trade, which is quite active.
 Lumber shows more activity in some sections. in hardware and in anthracite coal which is setting we'll in anticipation

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, April 22.-R. G. Dunn & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Unreasonable weather is still the chief drawback to improvement in business, complaints being received from every sec- ton of the country and slower collec- tions are also attributed to this fact Not only is current distribution of merchan- disc. particularly in drygoods affected by the thermometer, but future committ ments are undertaken most conservative ly on account of the possible injury to crops. There has been much talk of damage to cotton, but replanting may prevent any reduction in the total yield, and a few weeks of desirable weather would relieve anxiety regarding wheat.
 There is much confidence regarding the future, despite the fact that at many points supplies of merchandise are bur densome. With the exception of wear ing appaSel, manufacturing plants are in- creasingly active and structural work is gradually resuming normal proportions for the season. May is usually the date fixed for labor controversies, but this year there Is little prospect of serious disturbances. Trade in liquors Is inn proving and domestic tobacco again ad- vanced sharply in Louisville market. At the west railway tonnage has not increased but passenger traffic is very heavy ana earnings of all roads thus far reporting in April are only 4.5 per cent smaller than last year.
 W lille mo further improvement can be discerned in the iron and steel industry, it is gratifying to find no evidence of a set back Nor is it clear that tempo rary che, k to progress is to be deplored. Experisl Ct very recently demonstrated that the disposition in the iron and steel trade was to force progress, engendering imitation of prices and all the other unde- sirable features of boom
 Present hesitation is directly due to the failure of the leading interest to take up an option on pig iron at it's maturity.
 Railway equipment is still the most backward feature. while merchant steel for implement makers leads in activity.
 Aside from strength and activity in Texas hides, the western markets for domestic skins Is barely steady. Im- provement continues in the leather mar ket
 Retail distribution of footwear Is slow and wholesalers have not disposed of summer styles sufficiently to- place sup elementary orders. so that factories are over-saking eeStracts and more machin- cry Is idle. Demands at first hands are
