orders come forward with greater free dom. Blast frnaces are slow to resume, and a meeting will be held next week to determine upon the wage scale. Prices have declined to an extent that necssi- tates plans for lowering costs of produc- tion. A fair tonnage was taken by man ufacturers of cast iron pipe, but conces- sions in prices are asked by all buyers.
 Textile mills still restrict production, although there is less idle machinery now than at any time since the curtailment began in December. In the primary mar kets for cotton goods the tone has lm- proved moderately but readjustment or quota tions continues. In some cases the volume of business has responded prompt ly to lower prices. Jobbers have not op- erated freely because of cancellations, put the gradual improvement In financial con- dtions promises an encouraging enhance ment of interests in all departments. The little interest shown by China was not sustained, and the export division is very dull. More lines of woolens have been opened, low and medium fabrics now be- ing fully shown yet without arousing interest among buyers, who express the belief that delay will bring concessions.
 Footwear buyers are gathering in the Boston market and a large volume of business will be accomplished if agree nent can be reached regarding values. Leather continues to reflect the severe decline in hides last year, except that small receipts of heavy sole sustain that variety.

BETTER OUTLOOK
 IN GENERAL TRADE Colder Weather Has Helped to
 Improve Matters MORE LIFE IN IRON MARKET Business Is Looking Up, Particularly In the South, and Prices Will Be
 Maintained-collecticns
 Are Improving.

New York. January 17-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 further easing in the financial sit- uation and very general reports of im- provement in collections are the leading features this week. In trade lines colder weather and snow have helped retail distributions somewhat, but price reduc- tion sales are generally connected with responsibility for whatever expansion has been shown in that branch as a whole Wholesalers and jobbers report senti- ment improved. collections benefited by the return to normal in domestic money markets, but trade demands are still be- low the normal and In some sections q late and small spring trade is predicted
 Weather conditions are against the fullest development of trade in coal and in this line and in winter wear goods. clothing, shoes. rubbers and liquors there is less than ordinary business moving Accompanying the greater ease of money at all centers seems to have come a ten dency to pay up something on old ac- counts and some long standing bills have been settled. On the other hand the
 
 to mild weather or as at the south to holding of cotton, leaves something to be hoped as regards collections. Com plaints of many extensions being asked for, and perforce granted come from the south. Jobbing business in textiles is quiet and revisions in price of prints, gin- ghams and plain and fancy cottons have not as yet evoked much buying at lead ing centers.
 More life is shown in pig iron markets, the principal demand coming from mak- CTS of cast iron pipe. Most of the busi- ness went to the south and the basis on which the tonnage was booked ap- pears to be SIS per ton for number two at Birmingham. At the same time there had been some increase in blast furnace capacity. The price situation seems to be steady.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending January 16 number 431, against 435 last week, and 235 in the like week of 1907
 Canadian failures for the week number A, as against 63 last week. and 23 in this week a year ago.
 Wheat, including flour exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending January Is aggregated 7,421,S67 bushels, against 6S04,27S last week, and 2, 636 460 this week last year.

DUN & CO.'S REVIEW.
Buyers Are Coming Into the Market In
 Large Numbers.

New York, January 17-R. G. Dun x Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Progress is slow but each week brings a little improvement, and confidence In the future grows more rapidly than cur rent transactions. The best feature IS the broader market for commercial paper. Loans in mercantile channels are now ne- gotiated freely at little more than the normal rate, facilitating postponed under takings and making collections more prompt.
 Buyers are coming into the leading mar kets in large numbers, which should soon increase transactions unless prices cannot be adjusted. Manufacturers increase pro- duction gradually, conservatism being general and many industries are not op- eratng more than 50 per cent of their full capacity. Readjustment of wages is still contemplated by many producers be- fore machinery will be started. Several more steel plants have resumed and others will start up next week. but pro- duction will continue much reduced until
