Trade Conditions.

In the course of his commercial re-
view for the week ending Saturday
night Henry Clews says that the labor
situation causes some uneasiness. since
it is feared that trouble in the coal
trade may revive unsettled agitation
elsewhere. There are indications, how
ever. that wiser counsels will prevail
between the coal operators and the
mine operators which Will defer any
repetition of former difficulties. Gen
eral trade continues very large in vol
ume in spite of some weakness i'll val
ues, and the development of new en-
terprises is keeping unusually active
all forms of constructive work. How
much further the expansion in the ma
tons plant will continue before pro-
duction has overtaken consumption no
one can foretell; but signs of over-pro-
ductiOn are already showing them
selves in the copper industry. where
prices are receding. and in other de-
partmentS of industry there are signs
of Il climax having been reached. Nev-
ertheless. trade activity is general and
any slight recession in prices would
quickly revive n temporary cessation
in demand. Pig iron production is
still running at high record figures.
and an enormous demand is reported
for nearly all classes of iron products.
There is nothing yet discouraginS in
the crop outlook, although the light
fail of SNOW in the Interior caused
some doubt regarding winter wheat.
The season. however. has been eXcep-
tionally mild. so the absence of this
protection has been less felt than de-
sired.
\ very satisfactory element in the
situation is our continued large eX-
ports of domestic products. The total
value for the month of January of
breadstuffs. provisions. cotton and min
eral oils. which constitute about %
per cent of our exports. was S96.000.-
900. compared with SG5 100000 the
same month last year. This is an in
crease of S31. 900 600. or nearly 30 per
cent, the increase being chiefly in
breadstuffs. which were 80 per cent
larger than a year ago. These large
were undoubtedly stimu-
lated by the prospects of retaliatory
tariff in Germany against the United
States. but there is excellent reason
for believing that no such action will
of both countries realize the
utility and folly of precipitating a
ariff war.
