New York, May 3.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Unseasonably cooler weather still hampers trade and crop development though there Is a slight improvement in dicated in the latter direction because of ample moisture in the southwest Retail business has been chiefly affected so far. but jobbers and wholesalers report that April trade does not equal that of April a year ago, though the vofume of business for the four months period is consider ably in excess of 1906.
 Collections are likewise showing some effect of delayed trade, while improving where weather conditions have been favorable
 fall are quite encouraging in excess of this time a year ago, though a few lines note hesitation as to booking far ahead Industry as whole is active and re- garded as wholesome
 Many strikes are largely confined to building trades and do not sappear nearly as serious as in previous year. The tone in the copper and iron trades appear some what stronger greater disposition to book freely for the last half is being noted in pig iron. On the other hand the leather trades are quiet though more has been done in some lines owing to output being restricted. Hides are firmer
 A feature deserving of notice Is that grain and cotton prices are higher this week, continuing the advance of last week, mainly because of poor crop ad- vices. but in the case of wheat also be- cause European crop advices are not much more favorable than in this coun- try.
 Something like an od-time bull mar ket in wheat developed this week with a net advance of cents.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending May number 163 against 157 last week and 139 in the like week of 1906. Canadian failures for the week number twenty-five, as against twenty-three last week and twenty in this week a year ago.
 Wheat. including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending May aggregated 2,23i, 756 bushels, against 2,5S0242 last week and 2,104,74s this week last year. For the past forty-eight weeks of the fiscal year the exports are 143,SOO, ,4S7 bushels, against 113, 606149 in 19o5-0s.

New York, May S-R. G. Dun ss Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Spring retail trade is backward because Of the unusually late season and tardy distribution of merchandise is also caus- ing complaint in mercantile collections. but there Is confidence that most of the postponed business will be made up when the conditions become normal Dealers purchased freely from manufacturers in anticipation of a record breaking season and deliveries are still coming from the mills and factories, shipments being faci- itated by improved traffic conditions
 Manufacturers are active in all lead ing industries, most plants being operated full timaand the outlook in the steel bus mess could hardly be brighter. Projected E building operations promise a good de- mand for all materials, but numerous small labor disputes retard activity in thisNdepartment.
 All controversies over wages and hours are neither extensive nor alarming Only favorable reports are received from the iron and steel industry, new business eomng-to the mills as rapidly as orders
 
 take advantage of premiums offered for prompt delivery. Ore has begun to move freely on the lakes. Arrangements have been made for a record year many new vessels enlarging their carrying capacity. Pig iron furnaces are producing as rap idly as possible and new plants are in course of construction but deliveries are tardy and most concerns have sold their entire output for this year
 Large orders for cotton ties were placed at an advance of 10 cents per bundle. and the seasons needs will be provided for without delay. Pipe and structural shapes are among the most active departments, the weeks orders covering a very large tonnage
 In primary markets for cotton goods the only developments of importance was the sharp advance in the cost of raw material, which tended to strengthen the position of producers who were resisting with increased difficulty the pressure to accept lower quotations on distant de- liveries. As far as jobbers are concerned for regular store business they are not anxious to buy from the mills, although a few endeavor to purchase ahead for next season. There is little accumula- ton of stocks and less is heard of re- sales at second hands. Export demand continues insignificant
 Improvement in woolens has received check and the market is awaiting de- velopments. Mills are fairly busy, but the late season is retarding progress. Shoe manufacturers at the east find buyers very conservative regarding fall contracts and some of the smaller pro- ducers have offered small concessions without securing business On the other hand leading factories have sold some heavy staple lines at 2k to cents ad- vance over last years figures which makes the market most irregular. ] Leather is steady.

he had 1862 on his person. He had
been travelling considerably during the
past decade and so each brother had
lost track of the other.
