SPRING TRADE IN
EXCELLENT SHAPE.
Pig Iron Output is Largest on
Record
ACTIVE AT BIRMINGHAM
Textile Mills Sold Way Ahead and Pur-
chasers Readily Accept Whatever
Deliveries Can Be
Secured.

New York, March 15.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say spring business was
further expanded, jobbing operations be-
ing maintained at volume equal to or
exceeding last year, while retail trade has
felt the stimulus of the approach of
Easter and the appearance of spring-like
weather. Increased complaints as to
short stocks In some lines, notably dry
goods, came from many points and slow
delivery is still complained of. Indus
tries are active, except where, In tho
flooded sections of the Ohio valley, mill
operations are restricted. While business
is large, there is claimed to be no ten
dency to purchase beyond legitimate re-
quirements and the prospects favor active
demand and large turnover.
While the green bug has ruined wheat
sown In Texas, the situation in Kansas
and the southwest generally, is excellent,
and the impression seems to be that
damage reports have been considerably
exaggerated for market effect.
In the south preparations are pro-
crossing under favorable soil conditions
for large cotton acreage
In the pig iron market buyers and
regards prices, and while little new bus
mess has been placed except in the Bir-
mingham district, the undertone appears
stronger. Some foreign foundry iron is
being offered at prices that are much
below those quoted for the domestic pro-
duct. Production in February was be-
low that of January, but the daily out
put increased somewhat over January,
the largest part being furnished by the
leading interests, and not by the mer-
chant furnaces. All finished lines are ac-
tive with specifications coming in freely.
In the wool market firmness prevails
and interest centers in the foreign grades,
arrivals of which are very heavy. Stocks
of domestic wool are small, though sales
thereof are of moderate proportions, and
many grades are cleaned up.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending March IA number 1874,
against 172 last week, and 1877 the like
week of 1905. Canadian failures for the
week number twenty-three, as against
twenty-one last week. and thirty-three
in this week a year ago.
Wheat, including flour exports from the
United States and Canada, for the week
ending March A. aggregated 2,0S0.034
bushels, against 2,251, 1903 bushels last week,
and 2,010237 this week last year. For the
past thirty-seven weeks of the fiscal year
the exports are 126,O04 S65 bushels, against
SO, ,S92 bushels in 1905-06
Corn exports for the week are 199S ,254
bushels, against 2,631,572 last week, and
2,535, 2S2 year ago. For the fiscal year
to date the exports are 47,313, 437 bushels,
against 9,052 AS bushels in 1905-06.

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, March 15.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Spring trade is making a most salts
factory comparison with the volume at
sections where the weather is still I'M
favorable. and mercantile collections inn
prove steadily despiitie the high money
market.
Leading industries have orders cover
ing production well into the future, espec-
tally cotton factories and steel mills,
while the output of pig iron when the
month opened was close to the largest
on record. Prices are well maintained in
all sections of the iron and steel in
dustry, premiums being frequently offered
for prompt delivery but orders are seldom
accepted on these terms because of the
cver-sold conditions of mills and fur
naces.
Pig iron is notably active at Birming-
ham, large contracts having been placed
this month covering deliveries up to tho
last quarter. There is a nominal differ
ence of about 81 per ton between spot and
third quarter business but scarcely any
sales are made at the higher figure be-
cause little iron is available for prompt
shipment.
pipes and tubes and all forms of railway
equipment the proximity of settled spring
weather means extensive demands for
structural shapes.
Domestic steel rail business is supple
mented by large requirements by South
America and Japan that may be filled in
this market if satisfactory deliveries can
be arranged.
Textile mills are producing at a re-
markable rate without threatening any
accumulation of stocks and advanced
prices for cotton goods have not checked
demands In this division the statistical
position is beyond precedent, mills being
sold ahead for many months and purch-
asers readily accepting whatever deliver
les can be secured. Premiums above re-
gular quotations are willingly paid for
early shipments.
Most jobbers have now provided for all
of the spring trade but others will not
be able TO meet the requirements of GUS
toners. This is especially the case with
western iobbers who still receive liberal
orders Little interest is shown by the
export division as prices are above the
views of foreign markets.
Leather is more quiet, stocks of some
varieties being larger than at any re-
cent date and the southern now depends
| upon the department of trade in fall
shoes.
Prices of grain were well maintained
in view of the official report of farm
| reserves on March that showed the I'M
precedented total of 06.644 900 bushels of
wheat. 129S 100000 bushels of corn, and
SS4 461, 900 bushels of oats.
There was no change in the cotton sit
uation, both receipts and exports con-
tinung to exceed thise of a year ago but
the previous advances in price started
liquidation that caused sharp decline.
