Spring Trade Expanding.
Bradstreet's weekly review says:

Bradstreet's weekly review SAYS:
Spring trade in dry goods clothing
shoes and millinery continues to show ex-
pansion, despite the presence of winter
conditions. Interruption from this source
in fact has been less than anticipated, and
shipments of goods old orders and
preparations for house trade al leading CEN
ters go on unchecked.
Retail trade has been .appreeiably help
ed by the weather. but considerable stocks
Will unquestionab bly, be carried over because
recorder business has been heavy, owing
to mild weather earlier i'm the season The
effect OF this carry-over on next fall and
winter demands remains to be seen.
Other developments have been general
ly favorable. Concessions in pig-iron
prices have brought out some new business
west and south.
Leading interests are reported with prac-
tically full books. but deliveries in some
lines are freer, and high premiums are
said to be disappearing, except where small
quick delivery orders can be filed from
stock.
Building material was apparently never
so active as at this season, lumber leading,
and the output in northern forests has
been helped by recent heavy SHOWS. Com
mon brick will be reduced in the west on
March l, but is still firm in the east. Coal
feels the influence of cold weather, and
strike talk In firmer prices and enlarged
demand. some of which is for coal TO be
stored pending a clearer view of the out
come OF present HeSOlid L ne llleTd-
ture of the week aneut the predicted strike
has been rather of a quieting nature.
Bank clearings are much smaller, re-
flecting decreased stock specula ton due to
dearer money at the metropolis condition
which looks artificial. in view of the grow
ing ease al all other centers.
Collections are fair to good, except In
the south, where holding of cotton is a
drawback. as for some time past. Sum-
meds up it may be said that there are a
number of cross-currents visible, but a
record spring trade is apparently all but
secured, and the future crop development
will largely govern fall and winter trade.
