TRADE OUTLOOK is
FOR LARGE PROFITS
Conditions Improve, but Prices
for Country Produce
Are Easier

NEW YORK: March 10-Bradstreet's
tomorrow Will say: The merchandise
movement in practically alsseetiens save
a portion of the south has expanded con-
siderably. the railways have begun to win
out or their car congestion troubles and
are nandiing a very, large traffic. prepara-
tionS Tor an active building season are re-
1ected in the market for material and the
iron and steel and all kindred industries
are In keen demand unprecedented Tor
consumption for this season of the year.
the general complaint being that deliveries
of crude and finished products are not up
70 consumers needs. Retail trade shows
little expansion as yet and the late Easter
season faYors some. continued backward
ness but no complaints come from any
section except the metropolis. Money Is
phenomenally easy Weather conditions,
of course, are the handspring of the i'm
proved inquiry noted at all western. some
southern and most eastern markets Tor
dry goods clothing millinery. shoes, hats,
hardware and groceries. Higher tempera-
lures and freer movement are likely re-
sponsible for the growing ease OF prices
of most country produce. No elimination
in the hitherto existing confidence regard
ing the outlook for the years trade is
visible and an immense turnover at profit
able rates is evidently expected. -
There is rather more confidence in the
cotton goods situation this week. The
raw wool market is rather dull and easier
for all except high grade and desirable
lots. Milder weather makes coal deliveries
easier. Bituminous is therefore now edger-
ly sought and large quantities of anthra-
cite are reported sod, but domestic sizes
are in quiet demand.
