THE TRADE OUTLOOK
IMPROVED DEMAND FOR IRON
AND STEEL PRODUCTS. .
Spring Trade in Staple Lines Of Manu-
featured Goods Unexpect-
eddy Favorable.

NEW YORK. January Especial tele-
grams from correspondents of the Interna-
tionaI Mercantile Agency throughout the
United States and Canada regarding the
state of trade. are summarized as follows:
The event of the business week has been
the discovery of greatly improved de-
mand for pig iron and wire nails, and for
some forms of steel, notably sheets. bars
and scrap. Increased demand for steel
products has started some of the largest
plants and prices for varieties mentioned
are 81 higher per ton. Wire nails have ad-
vanced still further. Ten or fifteen thou
sand more Industrial employees have gone
back to work within a week. but in most
instances ut lower rate of wages. The
drag in the steel rail market results from
unwillingness of railroad companies to pay
S. a ton more than leading interests are
Offering rails abroad.
In New England it is still problematical
how much the output of cotton goods will
bescurtailed by the high price of cotton.
Spring trade outlook in staple lines is I'M
expectedly favorable. Some Boston mer-
chants say they expect sales to exceed
those of year ago. At Chicago orders
compare favorably with last year, and at
St Louis they exceed those of the like
period in 1903.
At both Pittsburg and Philadelphia bust
ness men report a good effect from the I'M
proved situation in iron and steel, orders
having increased since factories and foun-
dries have started up. Textile stocks at
Philadelphia are light and increased out
puts are predicted.
The volume of railway traffic at Chicago
is per cent larger than year ago, with
slightly increased earnings. At Pittsburg
the roads carrying 10 per cent less than
in January last year.
Duluth merchants look confidently ahead
for a large spring business Minneapolis
and st. Paul report jobbing satisfactory
for the season. Louisville traders are dis
counting bills freely.
Canada reports an active demand for sea
sonable goods. and wholesalers at Toronto
and Quebec have large orders for spring
delivery. Railroads report a decrease In
earnings from 1903 for the first week in
the year.
