Increased failures at this time are
not cause for apprehension. The rig
idity of January settlements invaria-
by enforce the elimination of those
traders whose pos..Ion discloses inner
ent weakness, and the commercial at
mosphere thereby is so much clarified.
Financial conditions generally exhibit
ease and a favorable attitude toward
industrial expansion, money being am
pie and the borrowing rate moderate.
Trade operations present gratifying
developments, increased activity being
more distinct in both production and
distribution. Breadstuffs were in good
demand and snght gain in values
was helped by the continued scarcity
of milling wheat. Manufacturers grad.
ually augmented the forces employed
and have drawn more largely upon
the capacity of their plants.
Raw material is in good supply for
known requirements, while cost and
wages present a more settled basis for
determining new undertakings. There
also is a satisfactory tone to the fresh
demands, the latter having wider eff
feet among factories, especially those
which consume great quantities OF
metals and wood.
Iron and steel quotations have ten
dency to move upward, commitments
aggregating 4 heavy tonnage, while
plants are more freely utilized and
with easier assurance than a year ago.

Bradstreets' report on
| New York.

ton of the country says:
Activity in industry, particularly
iron and steel and allied trades, fur
nishes contrast to distributive con-
ditions, in which there is some irregu-
larity with seasonal quietness predom-
mating in all bSt few sections. The
undertone of the general situation Is.
however, one of strength, the poten-
tial demand is thought to be very
large; stocks in all hands are light, and
the feeling is one of confidence.
Midwinter quiet rules wholesale
trade in most lines, and speculation in
securities and staples is quiet to dull
at generally steady prices. Generally
speaking, manufacturing industry hav-
ing three to four months business
booked ahead is running very full and
displays more surface activity than
does new business. The season for
clearance sales in retail lines is well
under way, and large distribution is
being stimulated by special prices and
by seasonable weather conditions in
most sections.
