The SEASON IS BACKWARD
THIS FACTOR ACTS AS A CHECK
TO TRADE PROGRESS.
Dealers Somewhat Depressed at the
Absence Of the Usual Spring
Demand.

New York, May 2. = Bradstreet's
says: "Distributive trade continues
quiet at most markets, and April trade
the country over has not equaled a
year ago. The absence heretofore of
the usual volume of spring demand is
depressing to dealers, who fear they
will be obliged to carry over surplus
stocks. Signs of improvements are,
however, to be noted in the northwest,
where better weather has helped retail
and wholesale trade. Pacific coast
trade and crop advices are better than
conditions are backward, at the south
the exceptionally strong position of the
leading interests renders the outlook
for the future very hopeful. A favor
able development of the week has been
the breaking of the drought in the
southwest. Backward weather has re-
tarded cotton planting and spring
wheat seeding, while crop termination
and growth is generally reported slow
the country over. During the first four
months of the year upward of 1875 900
men have struck for various causes,
but while there is considerable unrest,
rather less than the usual May day
disturbances are looked for"
Failures this week numbered POP
in the United States, against 203 last
year, and 16 in Canada, compared with
IL year ago."
