WEATHER HURTS BUSINESS
But General Trade Last Week Better
Than Year Ago.

New York, Feb. Especial kilograms
from correspondents of the Irterna-
tiOnal Mercantile Agency throughout
the United State and Canada. make it
plain that while railway traffic west
and Northwest has been handicapped
by heavy snow storms and low temper
atures, wholesale orders for spring goods
in leading lines have not been inter-
fered with and at retail, general trade
has actually benefited.
The topping of the inverted pyramid
of cotton speculation promises relief to
the industry. Many mills in the South
and abroad had shut down. New Eng
land advices say that mills have cot
ton supplies to last until July l, some
until Sept. 1. Demand for cotton goods
has gained Roadway within 10 days.
Most encouraging are special advices
from steel and iron centers that pro-
ductiOn has further increased; that de-
mand Is better than on Jan. I. and that
Independent sheetmakers have ad-
vanced prices 81. Cleveland reports
more orders for steel within two days
than for two months previously.
In New England general trade is of
larger volume than Il wear ago.
Northwestern states are in a prosper
Gus condition.
Heavy snow storms have interfered
with Canadian railway traffic. There
nre indications that the seasons lum-
Der cut may be reduced.

ductuating markets for cotton. coffee

situation of those staples a matter OF
concern. The feeling grows that later
opening of spring trade and conserva-
rive. buying are to be looked for IN
many lines.
Money is still easy because deposits
are very generally large and increas-

and an expansion in general trade may
affect the tone in the near future
Eastern trade reports are good as to

but shows signs of Waking up.
The bulls We're in complete command

larger receipts, prices rose steadily uh-
til Tuesday. when the reported With

reinforced by war rumors and heavy
