New York-Bradstreet's regular

Settled, bright spring weather fav.
ors the passage Of large quantities OF
products into final consumption, an
evidenced by the reports of expanded
retail trade, of enlarged jobbing re-.

hands in excess of the volume usual
at this season of the year. Reports
from the leading industries are of sus.

few divisions of the fuel and iron

on the whole, quite cheerful, the only
drawback being the irregular distribu.
ton OF rainfall in different districts.
Fall trade, as usual, waits on crop de.
velopment, but is of larger volume
than ordinarily at this season.
