New York, Feb. 26-.R. G. Dun & Cos
weekly review of trade will say to-mor-
row:
Development Of spring trade is slow but
this may be fully made up as the season
advances. Business proceeds a con-
servative basis that promises immunity
from the excuses that preciptated the
recent get back Manufacturing plants
are gradually restoring idle machinery
and there is more disposition to anticipate
future requirements Staple commodities
IRE still inflated by war and manipula-
ton, making 1t extremely difficult to
ascertain the actual legitimate situation.
Foreign commerce at New York for the
last week shows a loss of 49, 4S9. 100 in ex-
ports and IL decrease Of $2,5i3 672 in i'm
ports as compared with the same week
last year. Stock market operations were
again light at much lower prices, which
partly accounts for the loss in bank ex-
changes at this city of 2l1 per cent. COM
pared with the same week year ago.
At other leading cities there was a de-
crease OF 5.3 per cent. Railway earnings
thus far rported for February show a loss
of 81 per cent as compared with the same
time last year.
A slightly firmer tone is discerned in
cotton goods.
Failures this week numbered 240 in the
United States against 2ll last year.
