Historic Toy.

Long before there was a United States

NEW YORK.

Trade has improved all around, the i'm
petus being furnished by the return of
more favorable weather, the presence of
country merchants in leading markets and
the near approach of the Easter holidays.
Interior merchants report stocks quite
low and money plentiful. Moreover, the
recent cold snap permitted dealers in
heavy wearing apparel to work off stocks
that promised to become burdensome.
1t is significant that business placed
in most lines and sections during the past
two months exceeds that of year ago
a very active period. Opinions as to the
outlook for the second half of the year
vary, yet it is felt that pause would
not be unwelcome-in fact. would have
a SOLDERING effect on many lines that are
now sold very far ahead and for which
heavy contracting still continues. Manu-
featuring is active the country over
and fnished lines of iron and steel are
as brisk as heretofore, though pig iron
markets are quiet.

CHICAGO.

Favored by the mild weather which
prevailed, trade generally reflects season
able gain in activity. Retail sales make
an excellent comparison with those in
same month last year, when the total
was exceptionally large, and the reduction
of winter stocks has been comfortably
effective.
Contracts for future production in the
leading industries are we'll maintained,
particularly in iron and steel, rolling
stock wood and leather working. Raw
materials continue in rapid absorption,
with prices frmer locally for pig iron,
metals and hard woods. A slight decline
is seen in hides.
Freight movements are augmented by
increasing outputs of the Carshops, forges
and foundries, and of the furniture, box
and footwear makers, and the shipments
Of staple goods have become heavier to
many interior points. Visiting buyers ex-
ceed the numbers of year ago, and
bookings make a better showing in dry
goods, household wares, cloaks and suits,
children's clothing, furnishings and boots
and shoes. Demands appear heavier in
food products. and there is further activ-
ity in hardware, machinery and imple-
ments for the farms.
No important defaults disturb the
steadiness of credits, and failures in this
district have not for a long time been
so low in both number and amount.
Earnings of the Chicago steam roads,
while surprising those of a year ago, are
more affected by higher cost of operation.
Liberal orders are yet issued for new
equipment and current additions to ca
pacity aid facilities, but freight offerings
remain excessive and disputes rs to
wages cause some anxiety as to deliveries
of merchandise for early consumption.
Lumber receipts rose to 4O,67o,OOc feet,
