BRADsTREErs REVIEW OF TRADE
spring-LiISe weather Stimulates job
bling Distribution.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Springlike weather stimulates jobbing dis
trihution, inducing a larger volume of
house trade and helping the business in
spring and summer fabrics. Crop prepa
rations are going forward actively and
AT the south some actual planting has
been done. Shipments on orders are heavier
than ever before and no complaints OF
freight congestion are heard. At prac-
tically all points an early and long spring
season is predicted Al the same time
there is an air of conservatism as to the
more distant future, due to the large
stocks of winter goods carried over and
also cause of the recent heavy drop in
raw cotton, making buyers for next season
cautious in placing orders. Like condi
lions are noted in the leading Industries
Iron and steel production, while of un-
precedented volume, is larger for the first
half of the years requirements, far future
orders being of lighter volume. Just how
much of this is due to uncertainties, as
the coal strike situation, is not clear, bu
that this is n factor is unquestionable.
Many commodities show an easy tone
this being especially noticeable in bread
stuffs, cotton. hides and lines of produce
affected by weather conditions On tn,
other hand the season favors active build
ing, and lumber and hardware AMONG
others are very strong. 1t is noted thai
wool Is very strong and dealings in tat
new western clip are checked by high
prices. Coal is more active and firmeF
The railways are active as never befor,
at this season.. Earnings are breaking al
ceipts are showing up in the net becaus,
the usual winter expenditures are down
TO the minimum. Collections are, taken a
whole, only fair, slack retail trade II
winter goods at the north and holding Of
cotton at sthe south being drawbacks
Money has shown a tendency to worl
firmer. Bank clearings are large for thu
season and in fact exceed all previous
February aggregates.

The cups had still another adventure. In the

branded and divisions made into the different

owner, who happened 10 pass through the kitchen,
