ON THE WHOLE, CHEERFUL
The State of Trade and Industry and
the Condition of Crops Geler-
ally Satisfactory.

New YOrk.-Bralstraet's regular
weekly review says;
Settled, bright spring weather fav-
ors the passage of large quantities of
products into final consumption, as
evidenced by the reports of expanded
retail trade, of enlarged jobbing re-
order business and of trade at first
hands in excess Of the volume usual
at this season of the year. Reports
from the leading industries are of sus-
tanned great activity except in some
few divisions of the fuel and iron
trades, where strikes curtail opera
tons slightly. The crop situation is,
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.
