Buyers display a holding-off tendency.
Finished trade reports are good because
of large orders previously booked, and

DuN,S REVIEW.

New York, May 12-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Unsettled weather still retards retail
trade and uneven distribution of mois-
ture prevents crop prospects from at
tanning an ideal position, but the general
result is much better than normal Mer-
camille payments are fairly prompt,
money is easy and abundant, while con-
fidence in the future is the ruling senti-
ment.
The decline in Wall street for the week
which shows the lowest average for the
sixty most active railway securities since
last January, has had no perceptible in
f1uence on business, and railway earnings
continue to make favorable comparisons
with last years figures the early returns
for April showing gain of 81 per cent.
Manufacturing activity is undated, the
leading industrials reporting a minimum
percentage of idle machinery, and pig iron
production is expected to establish new
record of over 100000 tons for the cur
rent month.
