CHICAGO.

Conditions of trade in the Chicago dis
| trlct are summarized in the weekly re-
view issued by X. G. Dun ( Co., as fol-
lows:
Trade activity felt the check imposed
by the severe weather and the marketing
OF farm products was restricted, but the
general conditions toward recovery re-
nam encouraging and healthier tone APP
pears in the leading branches. Much at
tention is devoted to the course of dis
tributive dealings in mercantile lines, and
thus far the indications are mainly sat
isfactory.
Good Roadway is made in reducing both
local and country stocks, although clear
ance sales are yet in evidence.
The markets for wholesale staples show
large attendance of visiting buyers and
increasing selections are noted in the
textiles, footwear, furniture. clothing and
hardware. Road statesmen report more
numerous orders and the outlook is bet
ter for spring and summer wages. but
there is some hesitation due to a feeling
that cost may yet go lower
Agricultural conditions remain excep-
tionally good. and with continuance of
high values for grain the prospects be-
come brighter for wider consumption of
accessories.
Financial affairs reflect gratifying re-
action from the depression and more
funds seek investment Money is i'm
greater supply, with the discount rates
easier.
Additional assumptions in the iron in
dustry and further decrease of idle work
ers furnish the main developments in the
principal lines of production.
Woodworking is more extensive than
month ago, and this imparts a better
tone to lumber dealings.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number 81, against 81 last week and
% a year ago.
