TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
Unreasonable weather is still the
chief drawback to improvement in bus
iness, complaints being received from
every section of the country, and slow
collections are also attributed to this
factor.
Not only is current distribution OF
merchandise particularly affected, but
future commitments are undertaken
most conservatively on account Of the
possible injury to crops. There is
much confidence regarding the future,
despite the fact that at many points
supplies Of merchandise are burden
some. Structural work is gradually
resuming normal proportions for the
season. May 1 is usually the date
fixed for many labor controversies, but
this year there is little prospect OF
serious disturbances.
Slightly lower prices prevail for the
leading agricultural staples.
Failures number 241 in the United
States.
