tif1cate was valid, and that she was
entitled to the office of county super

-Bradstreet's Review.

New York, Jan. 12-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
There are some cross currents in
trade which prevent generalization, but
as a whole the situation loses little by
comparison with preceding years at
this early stage of the season.
In industrial lines previous activity
continues without changes. Some few
lines of iron and steel, notably struc-
tural shapes and cast iron pipe, are In
less active request, but other finished
lines are active and the market as
whole is strong. The open winter all
lows of great activity in building, but
there is not the unanimity as to the
predictions of record breaking con-
structions noted a year ago. The car
shortage is still acute, tho mild wealth
er helps the railroads. The money sit
uation is easier in a few centers, no.
tably the southwest, where the banks
are reported we'll supplied with money,
but collections in the northwest are
affected by backward grain movement.
Summed up, the situation is that re-
tail trade is backward, that some few
lines of wholesale trade seem to be
taking breathing spell, but that the
heavily sold-ahead condition in most
lines guarantees future large turn
over. Relatively the best reports are
rather irregular, but the only poor re-
ports as to trade and collections come
form the south Atlantic states where
chop returns were below early indica-
lions.
The situation in raw and manufac-
tured textiles is very strong one. Rel
atively best reports as to current trade
come from the dry goods lines. Wool
markets are very firm, in sympathy
with foreign markets, tho transactions
are not heavy.
Sugar is without much change, ex-
cept that one refinery has cut prices OF
refined NC. Coffee has eased slightly,
futures Icing 25 to So points lower on
large movements.
