SPRING TRADE
An Optimistic Feeling PervadeA
B%uainess Circles and Heavy Build.
ing Operations Anticipated.


New York.-Bradstreet's regular
weekly review says:
Favorable features still largely pre-
dominate. Country buyers are more i'm
evidence than at any previous time this
year and have bought literally. VIM
ter wheat crop reports are as good as
ever, and the probability that a gen.
eral coal strike may be avoided after
all lends strength to industry of all
kinds. 1t is true there is rather more
conservatism displayed by buyers for
the more distant future and prices OF
some commodities are being shaded.
but it is apparently regarded as certain
that an enormous spring business will
be done, that building will approximate.
If not surpass last years huge totals.
and that crop and trade developments
Of the future will take care Of next
seasons trade.
