WHOLESALING MORE QUIET

Long awaited seasonablo weather has

tobhers, and made for moro confidence
in the placing of orders for future de-
livery. In some sections, also, collections
have responded to more favorable IN
fluences but payments are still back

orally, there Is n rather more quiet tone
perceptible. There is a disposition this
year TO await clearer Indications OF the
outturn of growing crops ana there Is
less assurance as to booking ahead in
many lines than was noted at this time
in 1906 but the trade situation proper
Internationally shows a more optimistic
feeling than was possible a few weeks
ago. Iron production and consumption is
at record rate and finished products
are active but the crudcr forms note
ease, and pig iron and billets are slightly
lower.
Lumber seems TO be easier and interior
demand is lighter but large cities show
good local demand existing. The cotton
goods line is not SO urgently active as
earlier but there is no weakness. The
shoe trade has been benefited By the
better weather but eastern factories re-
