NUMEROUS WRECkS
 ON THE FRISCO

The Frisco has been having

Dun g. Co.'s Report

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Or. G. Dun d
Co.'S weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say: Easter retail trade surpasses
expectations, favorable weather bringing
out very large volume of business dur
ing the last week, while activity was not
confined to specialties, but extended to
all seasonable lines of staple merchan-
disc.
Announcement by some railways that
retrenchment must curtail plans for eX-
tension, has no perceptible influence on
the iron and steel industry, owing to the
scarcity of stocks In all positions.
Structural steel Is taking a seasonablS
prominent position, specifications coming
forward freely as open weather facili
tates building operations, much busines!
coming from the central west and the
Pacific coast, despite the possibility of 6
strike May l.
Congestion of stocks at Shanghai still
dominate the Chinese market for cotton
goods. South American supplies are prac-
tically all the export demand.
Tanners have curtailed productions to
stocks of the latter accumulate in the
hands of the packers and dealers the
tone is notably easier, owing to the sea-
son. Native COW hides are weakest,
packers stocks being estimated at 300 600
Another fractional decline is reported In
foreign dry hides.
At the leading commodity exchanges
prices ruled fairly steady and option
trading was restricted by the unsettled
security market.

BUMPER CROPS;
BUSINESS BRISK
NOTABLE FEATURES IN LINE
OF COMMERCE
More Unrest In Labor Circles, Particu-
IarIy Among Railway Employees.
Collections Slow, Due to
Slow Deliveries
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: Bright. warm almost
summer weather, stimulating alike to re-
tall trade and crop progress; a cessation
Of liquidation in securities and an easing
of the strain in the money markets. 50
far as the April 1 period Is concerned,
are the notable favorable features In an
encouraging week. Reports as to Faster
demand are of a large, in fact, record
trade, thus crowning a three months
period which except i'm sections has ex-
ceeded any preceding year, and the only
drawback in which has been the getting
of goods in sufficient supply to satisfy
the demand.
Less pessimism also is shown as to the
crop outlook: insect damage Is, compara-
lively speaking, minimlzed. and winter
wheat. aside from parts of the southwest
and Texas, promise well. though It is OF
course still too early to forecast ultimate
outrun
On the other hand, collections are still
backward which is attributed varlously
to slow deliveries of goods, congestion OF
farm product deliveries and finally to the
heavily increased volume of past trade.
Money is still high in .proces. long
reriod of this condition Is apparently in
sight and there Is a disposition to await
a clearer vew of the future, especially IN
the matter of crop prospects, before ex-
tensive commitments are made as to the
distant futures.
There is more unrest in labor circles,
notably in the matter of railway en-
ployes and of building. Talk of retrench-
ment by railways is still rife, but can
cellations of orders for rails and other
material are so far reported light.
There is less firmness in the prices of
scme metals. copper principally, but IRON
prices are held firmly by the deadiock
between buyers and sellers as to distant
months.
In raw wool the market is quiet. Deal
ers are not contracting for western clips
and high money rates are complained OF
as dlscouraging operations. High for
eign markets hold prices steady here.
Business failures In the United states
for the week ending March 2S number 166

ber Il as against 80 last week and Is in
