DUN & CO.'S REVIEW.
Good Weather Stimulates Business In
 Many Sections.

New York March FIR. c. Dun & Go. S
 weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Retail trade in spring goods has made further progress and the conservative buying of the dealers in preparing for current distribution is now providing a good supplementary demand from whole sale and jobbing houses. Unusually ad vanced weather in many sections stimu lates business, and agricultural work is making an early start. In the leading industries there is evidence of gradual increase in contracts, many plants pre- pairing for greater activity on April l, while proposed reductions in wages have produced no threats of strikes.
 The best news of the week al to manu- featuring conditions comes from the leath- CT industry, although shipments of footwear through Boston are only about two-thirds those of the same week last year. Dispatches from the west and south are most favorable as to the gen. eral commercial situation, few cities re- porting the volume of business fully equal to last years, and these statements are supported by bank exchanges at these points about the same as in 1907. There is still complaint regarding mercantile col lections, although improvement is noted Progress In the iron and steel indus tries continues, irregular activity increas- ing in the wire and plate departments,
 while heavy lines await renewal of nor
 nal demand The outlook is encouraging,
 however because improvement in the financial situation continues. Minor metals have advanced still further, in- fuenced more by the London market than
 domestic demand. although the latter shows fair increase.
 In the primary markets for textile fab
 rics there is more inquiry, especially for
 small quantities of cotton to be shipped
 promptly Urgency of demand for im-
 mediate shipment indicates that stocks in distributing channels are light and goods must be secured for delivery orders 1 that were taken but not provided for in ] the expectation that lower prices would be named by producers before retailers | called for them.
 1 The decline in price of raw material has l had depressing effect on the tone of the market for cotton goods, and actual irn- | provement is therefore the more gratify- l ing, while finished products are no cheap l CT. Export trade is light, and competi- | ton of Manchester mills for business in I China and India will be more keen this 1 year than ever before. The market for
 woolen goods continues very narrow and I no development is expected until after l Easter Current demand is limited to l small duplicate orders for quick delivery l of spring goods.

GENERAL TRADE
 SHOWS EXPANSION Retail Business Is Improving In
 All Sections IRON. INDUSTRY STEADY Textile Trade Is Depressed Owing To Lack of Demand For Cotton Goods.
 Leather and Shoe Trades
 Are Very Irregular.

New York, March 27-Bradstreet to- morrow will say
 The first week of spring has seen an
 expansion in retail trade and an enlarge
 ment of operations in building lines, es- reeially in the west. Conservative esti :.
 mates of actual needs govern buying, and replacement of broken stocks is the chiee | source of jobbing and wholesale demand. l Trade in the primary branches is, there | fore, quiet and operations in industrial l lines are below normal Fall trade is backward, awaiting clearer views of tho future crop and price conditions. Indus- trial conditions are still very irregular and short or reduced time Is practically universal.
 The iron and steel industry does not show much increase in activity outside of the seasonable lines, such as nails, wire and tin plate, which have shown in- creased interest for some weeks past. There is talk of pig iron stocks accumu- lating.
 The textile trade is still depressed with short time and wage reductions, common in cotton goods manufacture north and south. Fear of coal strike has sub sided and buying is less active in this line.
 The leather and shoe trades are ir- regular and unsettled. Buying is conserva- tive and while orders are small they are often urgent. Until high cost stocks are out of the way there will be apparently little free buying. Shipments of shoes are p per cent below last year.
 Bushes failure for the week ending March 26 number in the United 2S6, againsr 3t3 last week and 166 in the like week in 1907. Canadian failures for the week number 40, against S9 last wek and 21 in this week year ago.

A Curious Plant.

"a curious plant" said an eminent
botanist, 'is the wild tamarind or juba
plant Of the riverside and waste places
Of tropical America, and very strange
are its effects upon the nonrumlnant
animals that feed upon It's young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. 1t
causes horses to lose the hair from
their names and tails, has similar eff
feet upon mules and donkeys and re-
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair is of different color and tex
ture from the old, so that the animal Is
never quite the same as 1t was. One
animal of which | personally knew
after feeding on the plant lost its hoofs
and had to be kept in sings until
they grew and hardened again. Rumi-
nant animals are not thus affected, and
the growth of the plant Is actually en-
couraged In the Bahamas as fodder
plant for cattle, sheep and goats. The
difference is probably due to changes
effected upon it In the chewing OF the
cud."
