STILL SHOW IMPROVEMENT
FAVORABLE REPORTS AS to
TRADE AND INDUSTRY.
They Are Larger in Number Than
Those Which Show Ad-
verse Influences.

New York, March 21.-R. G. Dun d
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Improvement in trade and industry con-
tinues, favorable reports largely out
numbering adverse influences. The most
important event of the week was the two
thirds vote by bituminous coal miners
to accept the proposed reduction IN
wages. This will probably prevent a
serious struggle that would paralyze
manufacturing just when it is beginning
to revive. Complications have arisen In
the local building trades that retard
structural work, but a settlement is an
~ticipated and the open weather is stlmu-
lating outdoor work at other points. Re-
tail distribution of Easter goods steadily
expands and dealers stocks are being
depleted because of conservatism in in
itial purchases. This promises large
supplementary jobbing and wholesale
orders as the eason advances.
Failures this week numbered 229 in
the United States, compared with 220 last
year, and q in Canada, against % a
year ago.
Bradstreet's says: THE backwardness
of spring trade, generally attributed to
almost in%terruptedly bad weather, tinges
most reports from distributive c%enters,
but several developments of the week
have been notably favorable. Chief
among these might be mentioned the ar

Washington March 21.-Secretary
Hay and MI. Leger, the Haytian min
lister, Saturday exchanged ratifica-
tons Of the Haytian naturalization
treaty which will become almost i'm

marks a distinct advance in such CON

prescribing definitely that "a natural
lied citizen who returns to the coun-
try Of his nativity and remains there
continuously for more than two years
may be regarded as having abandoned
the citizenship he acquired by nat

caused by the omission of some such
provision as this from the natural:za-
stion treaties.
