NEW YORK.

There is quite considerable improve
ment in both the tone of general dlstrlbu-
| tive trade and in the volume of business
actually booked by jobbers. Withal, how
ever, there is little change to be seen in
the character of the buying, which is still
along very conservative lines. and, while
the volume of business doing is larger
now than at any time since last fall. the
shrinkage from a year ago is distinct and
Enthusiastically large. Collections are still
very backward; prices of staples tend
lower, as for a long time past; the earn
ing power of employees in many lines Of
Industry is being curtailed by short time
or wage reductions, and the threat is
made that a refusal to accept lower wages
may result in a widespread suspension Of
activity in the coal trade.
The demand for iron and steel shows.
little real expansion, aside from some
lines like wire and similar goods. Old
material tends to ease, and many consum-
ing plants are running on short time. The
long standing cnrtailment of cotton goods
production shows no signs of ending; in
fact, a continued heavy cut in production
is indicated, and notice has been given, in
addition, of a 10 per cent reductlon In
wages at some eastern mills.

Trade exhibits further recovery. sea-

These gratifying developments are also
supplemented by a volume Of payments

lowest in several months The supply Of

struction and new building, involving out
