Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReDorts.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says.
Weather conditions unreasonable
almost beyond precedent have retard-l
ed retail trade and agriculture to an
extent that cannot yet he measured,
but the loss will be considerable
Spring opened with the brightest
prospects for business and crops, but
record breaking results can no long
er be attained. May thus far has
brought complaints of excessive cold
from almost every section of the
country, and in many cases IL is
round that mercantile collections
nave been slow on that account.
freight congestion is relieved, how
ever, and traffic is very heavy, part
~ IN preparation for fall and winter
business, which is viewed with con-
hdence, while last years pressure
causes big movement of coal and
attractive prices bring a vast tonnage
OF wheat to primary markets. The
OUTLOOK in the iron and steel indus
try was never brighter. Steel rails
are constantly ordered much new
oVsiness being in light rails for troll
icy lines, and makers of agricultural
implements are purchasing bars free
ly.
Cotton goods are no cheaper, but
tue effect of the backward season
on retail trade is felt in all de-
partments. Business at first hands
is more active on forward con-
tracts than for quick delivery, and
snere Is less Offering of premiums
Ior spot goods. Yet the mills are
not onering concessions, which NAV
be due In part to the high cost Of
raw raw cotton. The only interest of
ome Joooing trade is in fall goods,
current needs having been supplied.
