SectiOns-lnternational Mercantile
Agency Review of the Past Week.

New York. Feb. 2e.-specia1 kilograms
from correspondents Of the international
Mercantile agency turnout the United
States and Canada make it clear that
rather more conservative views are being
taken Of the prospects for general trade
turnout the year than have been current
heretofore. Wholesale trade at Chicago,
Buffalo and st. Louis has been more in
;terfered with by delay to rail shipments,
but at many points, especially in the
southwest, heavy traffic is reported.
j, There has been no lack of moisture for
winter wheat in the southwest. In the
center belt the winter soWn grain has, ex-
perienced hard freezing weather. but has
been well protected. The slack movement
Of wheat eastward has thus far virtually
nullifed threatened losses to railways due
to the Buffalo rate war In the Missis-
stpPi valley there have been signs OF
an early spring in the agricultural re-
gions.
At Baltimore shipments of merchan-
disc for spring delivery will average about
20 per cent less than last year. running
from 10 to 80 per cent in various lines.
A canvass Of the south shows that the
outlook for spring trade was never better
Notwithstanding evidences of selling OF
cotton by leading interests at New York
and elsewhere, thousands of southern
holders in view Of recent decreas ed
rates, seem to confidentialy count on re
coupling late paper losses.
Speculation has depressed quotations
for cotton and advanced wheat prices
more, in each instance, than the demand
and supply influences which are alleged
to be behind each.
There are more orders in sight for stee
rails. Wire is sold far ahead, but tin
plates are being stored. Pennsylvania
paper mills are profiting by shutdowns
elsewhere. Farm implement makers are
more active.
There has been slight improvement
in trade in Canada within a week, az
railways have begun to move merchan-
disc with greater ease.
The setback of the past month, how
ever, will make spring trade late there
and the total volume Of sales will prob
ably be smaller than last year during the
like period Bank clearings have de-
creased except at Winnipeg, Vancouver
and Victoria The price of flour and o,
wheat has followed quotations which have
been conspicuous in the states. Demand
for clothing and for boots and shoes gives
manufacturers all the orders they cal
handle in the near future.
