DUN & CO.'S REVIEW.
Commercial Progress Is Gaining, But
 Very Slowly.


 New York, April 10.-R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Commercial conditions snow little alter atons, the gains of the first quarter being maintained, but further progress is eX- tremely slow. The weather has favored retail trade In seasona ble> wearing apparel at most points, and the outIook for future business is brighter because of the almost unanimous reports of satisfactory crop prospects.
 Manufacturing returns are conflicting, several mills and factories resuming, while some others curtalled operations and the rate of pig iron products at the opening of April was smaller than on March 1, to the extent of 1vvO tons weekly. Textile and footwear factories throughout New England proceeded cautiously because of the small orders for future delivery, all dealers confinng purchases to immediate requirements
 Prices of finished steel products are being maintained, but new business comes forward very slowly, except in the lighter forms.
 Although better demand is noted in many sections of the cotton goods in dustry, the prices offered are usually satisfactory, and the mills need still cheaper raw material if the business is to be done at a profit.
 No evidences of increased export trade are seen.
 Shoe shops receive a steady call for tan goods, but business in staple footwear is light and many producers are taking stock. Wholesalers report a fair trade, but restrict orders from New England factories to immediate wants and ship ments from Boston are averaging 25,000 to 30000 cases less than in the same week last year. Hides again average slightly higher.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-11
RETAIL TRADE Is MUCH STIMULATED Jobbing Business Also Shows Some Improvement
  COLLECTIONS ARE BETTER Shoe Shipments Have Fallen of and Cotton Goods Trade Is Only Nom- inaI-lron and Steel Busi-
 ness Slowly Gaining.
COLLECTIONS ARE BETTER

New York, April 10-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Though irregular the weeks develop ments have been in the direction of im- provement. The approach of Easter has stimulated retail trade in some lines, and sections with a sympathetic effect on some jobbing business, and a slight gain in collections. The southwest and northwest send the best reports, while southern advices are little more satis- factory as a whole. Lower prices of cottons have brought in some buying of specialties, but mems wear, woolens and winter wear hosiery show little gain. The strength in sole leather continues, and hides are slightly higher.
 Fashion has made the tan-shoe situa- tion a good one, but eastern shoe ship ments are 27 per cent below 1907, and the loss from last year is about 23,000 cases per week since January 1. There is little new in the iron and steel industry. Sea sonable goods such as wire. nails and tin plates are in demand but the heavier makes are no more active and while re- ports of actual or impending cuts in steel prices are denied, pig iron is easier north and south.
 Business failures for the week ending April number 25S, against 247 last week and 194 in the same week of 1907. Cana dian failures for the week ending April g number 2S as against 2S in this week a year ago.
 :. Wheat, including flour exports from the Tpit do fo,. +I,o ending April 9 aggregated 2,451, ,099 bush els, against 2,9l1 1884 last week and 1881, 05S this week last year.
 Corn exports for the week are 545,- "A bushels against 1.475,719 in 1907
