Dun's Review, publish

the mercantile agency,
Chicago.

says: Business conditions were less
handicapped, weather and transporta-
tion having improved, and the oppor-
tunity to advance operations is encour-
agingly reflected in the weeks results.
These indicate increased deliveries of
commodities, better demand for neces-
stiles and future factory output and
an enlarging use Of bank accommo-
dation. Money remained In ample sup
ply, but the revived commercial bor-
rowing impaired more firmness to the
discount rate. The marketing of farm
products was unusually heavy, and
values suffered slight impairment.
The markets for general merchan-
disc were we'll attended by outside
buyers, and transactions exhibited
larger volume than for the previous
week. The buying has emphasized
confidence in the approaching spring
trade, and many purchases were made
on discount basis. Requests again
were numerous for prompt forwarding
to the interior of dry goods, footwear,
clothing and groceries.
Manufacturing branches have added
to the volume of production, and in
most of the leading lines new busi-
ness made further gain. Rails were
more freely ordered, and other railroad
requirements increased, notably in cars
and locomotives. Furnace output has
been augmented in response to heavier
demand, and the tonnage booked ex-
ceeded last weeks. Specifications for
structural steel were more promptly
supplied and deliveries will be larger.
