ACTIVITY RECEIVES CHECK
STORMS AND FOREIGN coMPLI-
CATIONS AFFECT BUSINESS.
Belief That Interruption to Trade Il
Only Temporary and Will
Be Brief.

New York, Jan. 2S.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS
Weekly Review of Trade says: Storms
at home and complications abroad tend
ed to check activity in commercial and
financial markets, but most industrial
lines continue busy, testifying to conf
dence that trade interruption will bs
brief. Prior to the bad weather there
was liberal distribution of merchan-
disc at steady prices, but subsequently a
sharp advance occurred in retail prices
OF food products, owing to restricted re-
ceipts at points of heavy consumption.
Foreign commerce at this port for the
last week shows gain Of $772, 1924 in i'm
ports and loss of 81 ,690,177 in exports,
as compared with the same time in 1904.
Railway earnings in January were only
a per cent. larger than last year. Pro-
duction of pig iron continues at the max
imum rate, yet there is no evidence Of a
reaction. Steel rails are beginning to
feel the effect of expanding confidence.
several large contracts increasing the
amount of business on the books to
about 100000 tons. Railway bridges
VIII take large tonnage of structural
steel, and extensive building operations
are about to begin, so that this division
OF the industry is in fairly encouraging
position. Pipe mills are assured of full
activity for some time to come, and prep
arations are being made for very large
trade in agricultural implements.
Failures this week numbered 305 in
the United States, against 302 last year,
and AZ In Canada, compared with 28 a
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: "Inclement weather
has retarded distributive trade, railway
traffic and some forms of production
throughout wide area. The result Is
some irregularity in the reports from DIFF
ferent sections. The northwest sends
relatively the best reports in advices
that spring business is in excess Of a
year ago, and it Ia to be noted that ths
northwest shows an improvement over
recent rather depressed conditions, The
cold weather, however, has aeeeatuated
the dullness at the south growing out OF
lower cotton prices, and brought BUSH
ness and collections down to a low ebb
as compared with the exceedingly
prosperous conditions ruling year age
at this time. The eastern seaboard has
felt the chief force Of the storm Ia inter
rupted railway and street car traffic and
reduced arrivals OF country produce
and caused a partial suspension Of coal
mining and shipping This is q season
able visitation, however. and has been
rallied from quickly. Failures are below
the normal for this season Of the year."

CONFERENCE Of POWERS.
Pian Of Secretary Hay Which Nay
Fad the Russo-Jap-
aness War,

Washington, Jan. 2s-Secretary Hay
has taken new and most important s.ep
in regard to the Russian-Japaness war
He has gone to the extent OF proposing Q
formal conference OF powers to determine
whether OF not China has maintained its
neutrality. This conference nomtnaily
would concern itself only with the gues-
ton of Chinese neutrality, and hence 1t
does not follow that either Russia or
Japan necessarily would take part In the
conference. 1t does not seem unseason-
able to suppose. however, that Secretary
Hays suggestion, if adopted, and X ths
