DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Erratic Weather Temporarily Rstard' Re-
tail Distribution Of Spring Goods,
IOBBING IS PRACTICALLY UNAFFECTED
Nearly All Factories Are Busy and
Large Sales of Iron and steel
for Delivery Late in Year
Are Reported.
JoBBNG IS PRACTICALLY UNAFFECTED

NEW YORK, April 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say:
Erratic weather makes trade reports ir-
regular, sales Of spring wearing apparel
being retarded by storms and cold at
many points, although some sections eN-
perience Beasonable conditions. Temporary
interruption to retail distribution has no Ill
effects upon iobbing and wholesale business,
however, heavy transactions and shipments
testifying to confidence in the future, while
mercantile collections show further inn
provement. Several strikes have retarded
work, notably in sawmills, at Portland,
Ore, and in shipbuilding at Cleveland, but
tory on the whole. Textile mills, machine
shops, steel plants and footwear factories
have little idle machinery, forward bust
ness appearing more rapidly than the rate
of production In many classes.
Most encouraging news comes from the
iron and steel Industry, large sales of pig
iron being made for delivery up to the
end of the year.
Traffic conditions are better, but steel
mills are still unable to make satisfactory
deliveries and new business comes for
ward in greater tonnage than production,
especially for sheets and pipe. structural
steel is now a notable feature large ne
EOtiatiOns being under way, especially Tor
western mining interests.
Improvement is noted in the primary mar
ket for dry goods producers regarding cur
rent purchases as Of substantial character,
because prices are now on too high a
level to encourage speculative demand. AL
though jobbers are less active than at
times earlier in the season, more interest
is shown by converters and there IS less
talk OF reselling at second hands below
regular quotations. No improvement has
appeared in the export division, nor Is any
expected at present prices.
A better demand for mems wear woolens
is due to the first returns from clothiers
statesmen, but no general duplication bust
ness is expected until the retail clothing
situation Is better understood In dress
goods there is also delay until the job
bling trades report on the fabrics ALREADY
taken, no recorders having yet appeared,
Footwear producers report trade still
rather quiet, but an increase is found in
comparison with recent preceding weeks
and especially good returns coming from the
west on account of early spring weather
in that section. New England shops still
ship as freely as a year ago, but have
fewer orders on hand, and some ma
chinery was idle when the fall business
began to broaden.
Last weeks large sales of leather were
supplemented by further good movement,
giving the market a better tone.

be faster and the catching department will

This leaves the winning or the losing of
the team up to the pitchers and the
youngsters have shown enough to make

pitching staff will be good enough for the

five. and played three tie games, two with
Cleveland and one with New York. They
won the series from Boston and lost the
rest. Clymer continues to lead the team in
batting. with .316 although he continues to
drop each week. King Bill Kay. who has
taken part in sixteen games, as substitute
eleven times and in five full games, has an
average of .379 Milan continues to larrup
the sphere, and will no doubt be up among
the 300 class when the season ends as he
is now batting .2.6 He is hitting left
handed pitchers better than when he Joined
the team. He is also fielding his position
finely. and runs the bases well. Altizer
is batting 90. and if he continues to In
crease he will reach the 300 mark before
the season comes to close. Ganley leads
in sacrifice hits and stolen bases. followed
by Altizer. who is pushing him for the
honors. The coming week will close the
season, with games with Cleveland. Detroit
and Philadelphia.
