Preparations for an active building

for this season, the only complaint
being that deliveries of crude and fin-

ers' needs.
Retail trade shows little expansion
as yet, and the late Easter season ia
vors some continued quietness, but no
complaint comes from this source ex-
cept in the metropolis, where the
